    Summary

    “He’s just really sunny. Like, everything feels better when he’s around. But he doesn’t get a lot of… good stuff. Not like we do. And I think he needs someone to love him. I just… I love him. A lot.”

    Pope looked thoughtful, then shrugged. “That’s okay. You can like whoever you want. I think it’s nice.”

    John B nodded, the tight feeling in his chest easing a little. He didn’t have the right words for what he felt—not yet—but he knew it mattered.

    Even in third grade, it mattered.

     

    OR

     

    An intimate exploration of John B’s attempts to understand and define the profound connection he feels with JJ over the years.

    Summary

    “Shirt, J,” John B says.

    JJ doesn’t move. He rubs his face with his hands, looks to the door.

    “No one’s coming in.”

    “They’re on the porch, B.”

    “It’s alright,” John B says.

    JJ is looking at him now, and his eyes are wide. JJ doesn’t scare easily. He doesn’t shy away from a fight or ever miss the chance to stand up for his people.

    But being seen? That scares the shit out of JJ.

    *

    Time blurs between the first time John B patched up JJ, and all the times inbetween. JJ struggles with letting people in and letting himself be seen-- the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Summary

    Sometimes JJ wonders if there really is something wrong with him. Something deeper than the rage, deeper than the sadness. Something bone-deep. Engraved in his DNA. Why he can’t take what he’s given, why he’s always begging for more. A dog preening for scraps underneath the dining table.

    OR: JJ Maybank loves, & loves, & loves.

    Summary

    “When will he pull his head out of his ass and realize he’s in love with him?”

    Or: the pogues can have run-of-the-mill teenage drama, too. Even when they’re trapped on an uninhabited island.
