#it's never over

[sarabethsilver]

You wanna know why I am personally convinced that Jess and Rory ultimately end up together after AYITL? Because it's not the Big Longing Stare through the window.

It's the fact that Rory hasn't seen Jess in four years, but within ten seconds of him sitting down - without him even really ASKING her anything - she is sharing all her deepest fears. She's broke, she has no underwear, her license is expired, she's totally lost in her career, she can't remember to dump her boyfriend. She's worried that her failure is so profound that people can smell it from a mile away. One conversation, and she's more vulnerable and honest with Jess than she is with any other person in her life.

And Jess, as ever, doesn't judge her in the slightest. He regards her with nothing but affection, and then he gently points her in the direction of the passion that he KNOWS is within her. Because he's always known it.

Forget longing stares and unspoken words. That singular conversation contains more respect, hope, and love than any other moment in the series.

IT'S NEVER OVER | s.crosby

Sidney Crosby and Nat Brooks loved each other once. They'd loved each other through the most crucial parts of adulthood: Sid becoming a hockey superstar and Nat leaving for college in New York.

And then it fell apart.

But perhaps the most painful part of it all was that they still understood each other. Years had passed, and with that came breakups, marriages, failed relationships, changed careers...they'd lived completely separate lives for fourteen years, strangers in every sense of the word. They were different people, but the very core of their soles were still tangled.

Sometimes you just needed a little bit of courage. And what did it matter if they'd lost each other during the race if they crossed the finish line hand in hand?

prologue

if anyone asked sid, he wouldn't say that he liked pittsburgh more after meeting nat. no, that would be absurd.

chapter one - of all people

nat was about to repaint her house when she got the call from the school: evan had another scare. sid had been coaching a small group of kids from a local school when one of them was pulled out by the school nurse. the next time he'd see him, evan would be sitting on the reception desk with nat...the nat brooks, of all people.

epigraph

" i will love you if i never see you again, and i will love you if i see you everyday

i will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where once we were so close that we could slip the curved straw, and the long, slender spoon, between our lips and fingers respectively

i will love you until your face is fogged by distant memory. i will love you no matter where you go and who you see, i will love you if you don't marry me. i will love you if you marry someone else and i will love you if you never marry at all, and spend your years wishing you had married me after all, and i must say that on late, cold nights i prefer this scenario out of all the scenarios i have mentioned. that is how i will love you even as the world goes on its wicked way."

That little voice in your head slowly crawling back and telling you that it's never over

i got too optimistic and forgot kamala harris was dealing with the combined powers of racism and misogyny

[ivyblooms]

The funniest homophobia I ever experienced was a Mormon lady at my work telling me she would accept me being gay because we have to get along as coworkers but I really should consider not being gay because gay people have sex like animals (especially gay men) and she just couldn't stop thinking about it and how gross we are. She started really getting distressed, near tears, and saying 'I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop." over and over and miming some kind of sex acts with her hands and I was like ?????? What is happening???? One of the other Mormon ladies had to come over and pat her on the back and help her sit down to help her calm down and our boss gave her the afternoon off due to being too upset to work.

Do you think they ever pieced together what happened or were they always like “wow that was a weird shared dream we both had” ?

I long, ache for softness. Hold me tight, but don't let me crack. Whisper softly in my ear, don't tell me mean words. Treat me like you would a wounded bird. Don't be cruel. I beg you, don't be cruel.
