summary: He straightens his coat, stepping up to the building. This is his future. This is where he'll be able to thrive, he can feel it. Without the strict rules, maybe he'll make some friends. And even if not, there is always fencing. The one reason he chose this place. His one goal. — Or: Richard Cameron transfers to Welton to pursue his fencing dreams.

summary: Sometimes Neil thinks he's just as scared as he is. That Todd wants him too. It's a foolish thought, really. Because if Todd wanted him he wouldn't push him away time and time again. Kissing and cuddling and having Neil like he's his. But never close enough for it to be mistaken for love. — Or: Neil wants Todd, but they're just casual.
"Being Human (With You)" | ship: camknox | wc: 7.2k | rating: T | tw: none | tags: comfort no hurt, romantic fluff, scents & smells | part 1 of "In Your Veins"
summary: A gray jacket, the same as his own —the same as everybody's, it's a school uniform for a reason— thrown over the back of his desk chair. He must have assumed it was his own when he sat down, but taking it and bringing it up to his face he realizes it's not. Someone must have left it there, that's the only thing that makes sense. Plenty of people walk in and out of their dorm like it's the common room. It's not weird. Maybe they'll come back for it. That's what he'd thought, even when he'd brought the fabric up to his face again, inhaling it's scent like something had taken over his body and made him do it. There was something so comforting about it. — Or: Cameron finds comfort in a scent, and then in a person.
"Cold (Beating) Hearts" | ship: none (Todd Anderson & Richard Cameron) | wc: 2.3k | rating: T | tw: angst, suicidal thoughts, implied/refrenced suicide, implied/refrenced character death, dead Neil Perry (Dead Poets Society) | tags: hopeful ending, literal sleeping together
summary: Todd Anderson stands in front of him, clad in the same style, too-thin pajamas Cameron is wearing. He must be cold as well, because he's got a sweater pulled on over them. Cameron doesn't have to ask to know it must be Neil's. — Or: Todd and Cameron both went back to empty dorms that day.
"Heart, Mind, and Soul" | ship: Neil Perry/Gerard Pitts | wc: 2.6k | rating: M | tw: none | tags: secret relationship, fluff, slow dancing, sneaking around | part 2 of "In Your Veins"
summary: The glance Gerard throws him during English class tells him all he needs to know. — Or: Neil and Pitts are in a secret relationship. This does not stop them from sneaking around and kissing when everybody's backs are turned.
"Your Lips, My Lips" | Todd Anderson/Charlie Dalton | wc: 2.4k | rating: M | tw: none | tags: literal sleeping together, making out
summary: The window is cracked open blowing warm air over his back. He'd been silently laying in Todd's bed for what felt like a short eternity. Sleep has not found either of them, even though his eyes are heavy with a sense of comfort he can never find anywhere else. — Or: Todd and Charlie sharing a bed. And a little more.
