Summary
Jude sighs and reaches up to squeeze one of Willem’s hands. “I would never ask you to sacrifice a career opportunity for me.”
“It’s not a sacrifice, Judy,” Willem insists, squeezing his hand back. “Besides, it’s not just for your benefit. It’s for me, too. It’s really hard when I’m away from you for months at a time. Especially in a different time zone.”
***

Summary
This is all I have to offer you, he tells the JB-in-his-head, who blinks resignedly back at him. He pictures himself dissolving into a mess of colors on a palette, JB dipping in a brush, the dull smear of paint brightening under his hands. This much he can trust JB with—JB has always seen the ugliest parts of him and turned them into something captivating, even he at once enthralled and sickened by what JB has made of him. Jude with Cigarette; Jude After Sickness; Jude, Alone —these are pieces of him that even he cannot recall, but JB seems to have memorized those versions of him down to the bone, down to expressions and gestures he hadn’t recognized as his own.

Summary
( for Bibliophile, per request in ‘A Little Life Requests, posted far too long ago )
Edit, Jan 20th; changes have been made to ch.1 welcome to the do-over :]
A drunk driver severely injures three people driving in a car, now facing legal repercussions for a fatal hit done to a car right before it.
AKA Willem, Malcolm, and Sophie live, releasing themselves back into their own lives. While Malcolm and Sophie heal from the repercussions, Willem and Jude struggle in the imagined scenarios and endured damage in the heights of one another’s near-death situations, and amidst Jude’s worries and plans to ensure Willem of a good life, Willem ponders the relationship further as he thinks of a way to communicate his desire for Jude in a way that is unbreakable.
AKA AKA, A Little Life without Willem’s death.( multi-chapter fiction, new parts will be published every so often. POV’s will be everchanging, but the name of the perspective will be given before the written portion of the perspective. Comments, bookmarks, and kudos are welcome and appreciated immensely. )
