Summary
Cordelia has tried to warn Marvin about the slippery slope that is moping, how wallowing in his own depression can do nothing but make him feel worse. He imagines Mendel, a beatnik muppet in his own mindscape, blabbing on about the uselessness of ruminating. Remembers himself retorting something along the lines of ‘What’s wrong with thinking, Mendel, some of us still do that. You know, thinking?’ He rips the muppet off the arm controlling it and throws it across the room.

Summary
Whizzer Brown wasn’t looking for salvation. He was looking for a drink, maybe a distraction, maybe someone to touch who wouldn’t ask questions afterward.
Instead, he found a florist.
Marvin—beautiful, irritable, all quiet defiance and earth-stained hands—looks like the kind of man you ruin yourself on once and forget in the morning. That’s all Whizzer plans to do. Sleep with him. Move on.
But the night he stumbles into that flower shop—half-drunk, half-lost—the air smells like lilacs and rain, and something in Whizzer stops. He keeps coming back for the flowers, for the quiet, for the way Marvin never asks who he is.
It’s only supposed to be physical.
It never is. -

Summary
Marvin was supposed to be just another target — cold, rich, untouchable.
Whizzer Brown was supposed to seduce him, steal his secrets, and disappear.
But Marvin remembered him. From high school. From a moment Whizzer made up on the spot.
And suddenly the game wasn’t so simple anymore.
Lies blur into truths. Danger creeps closer. Hearts crack open where they shouldn’t.
And in the shadows, someone’s watching… waiting to end them all.

Love can tell a million stories. Death can end them all. Forgiveness can begin new ones.
The lives of Trina, Whizzer, Marvin, and Mendel are more deeply connected than they ever dared to bring up in their adulthood, but after Whizzer passes away, the lives they had lived together in their youth begin to bubble back up to the surface, bringing back the memories of three old friends whom they haven't spoken to in decades.
This is their story. Treat it with more love and forgiveness than they did.

The Boy Who Failed Physics (On Purpose) by I_love_mitski13

Summary
Marvin loved the life he had—quiet. He loved not having to worry about anything beyond himself and a few close friends. No drama, no surprises.
He’d always believed success was a matter of control:if he didn’t have it, everything could collapse. And if something collapsed, it was because he hadn’t done enough. Because he’d been weak. Because he’d failed.
Losing control wasn’t just a mistake—it was the beginning of the end.
And yet, everything had fallen apart.
All thanks to Whizzer Brown.my attempt at a gay romcom, please read it. 👋
