Summary
Adam liked looking at Ronan’s soul marks. He liked it in a genuine, unironic way that was almost devoid of vicious jealousy.
-
In which Adam doesn't have a soulmate but does have a boyfriend and is terrified of impending disaster; Ronan has a lot of soulmates and is terrified that maybe he's fated to non-autonomous misery; and Hennessy only has one soulmate, which definitely, unequivocally, 100% means she's going to ruin him forever.

Summary
(For a moment, his mother had looked so sad.
She already knew. Of course she did. Sometimes, it seems like Bitty was the last person to figure it out.
Still. When the words are finally out of his mouth—Mama, I love him. I love him so much.—his mother cries. And she cries the next time he calls, and the next.
His father doesn’t call at all.)
Or, Eric Bittle, love, and everything in between.

Bookmarker's Notes
Love is every beautiful thing you don’t know the name of already. Love is,” she stops to search for words. There’s once again a faraway look in her face, and Bitty doesn’t know what to think. “Love is when you take whatever you already are,” she says, slowly, “and make it more than it was, with them.”
“Love is complicated, son,” he says, looking to the grass in front of them, swaying with the wind. “It comes out of nowhere. You never find it twice the same way.
It comes to him in a sunny day in mid-October, in Jack’s last year. Bitty is attempting to make his own version of pumpkin spice latte, and he asks Jack to pass him the cinnamon; when Jack incredibly drops the entire thing on the ground, the cloud that covers them is almost beautiful. Jack stares at Bitty, dumbfounded, and sneezes so hard he stumbles backwards.
Bitty looks at him and thinks, I love the way you take up space.
At least it doesn’t look all that weird when he laughs.)Only the sun has come this close, he remembers reading once. Only the sun.
Bitty knows Jack loves him, in the same way he knows that the Sun goes up in the sky in the morning, and the ocean waves never stop moving. He knows.
He just doesn’t know what to do with it. He doesn’t know where to put all this love, the catch of his breath whenever he looks at Jack and thinks, I can have this . As long as the words stay on the back of his throat, he can deal with them. But saying it out loud sounds almost unholy.

Summary
It wasn’t solely in his head. That was the worst part. His head was a fractured and exhausted place, but he knew his way around it well enough. But this lived in the wilder terrain of his body, of his fingers curling—had they always done this?—at the sound of Ronan’s wicked laugh, of his stupid stubborn heart picking up its pace when Ronan’s name crossed his screen. It was in his veins and in his nerves and in other places he had spent too long resolutely ignoring to be able to control with any success now.
(Or: Adam gets a phone, a kiss, an idea, and a nervous breakdown; Ronan gets a job. They're both figuring it out.)

Summary
“But Daddy –”
“Daddy would change your name himself before he let it define you. You will never be a disappointment to him, because you’re Morgan. You’re you. Got it?”
She just stares at him for a long time, tearful and unblinking.
“Can we have juice pops?”
-

Summary
Ric laughs, humorless. “You know, the ancients believed in inspiration made manifest – Muses, goddesses of the arts.”
Hob is very well aware. “They weren’t as daft as people think. Why not say a prayer? Maybe you’ll get an answer.”
“Muses wouldn’t have patience for a fool like me,” Ric dismisses. Hob knows the feeling; he’s astounded Calliope's stuck around this long. “Do you know Erasmus Fry?”-
in which hob gadling misses his favorite divinities, solves a problem he didn't know he had, and doesn't kill anyone (even if he maybe wants to).
(aka: professor gadling's guide to finding your muse.)
