    Summary

    The terrible, awful thing about finally getting what he wanted — namely, Mike — is that now he wants more, the selfish creature that he is. When he was younger, he’d been able to convince himself that kissing Mike, just once, would be enough to last him a lifetime. Foolishly, he’d thought that he could relish that single kiss and live a peaceful life, one where Mike was still his friend and nothing changed but his feelings would dissipate.

    Instead, they grew; they’re still growing, Will fears, growing bigger and bigger each time Mike and him get together, because every sound Mike makes when Will kisses him makes Will want to find ten more little gasps and whines and groans, and each time Mike twists their fingers together and pants against his skin Will thinks about how much better it is than the time before.

    will and mike are - something, and will's not entirely sure what. whatever they are, he wants more, but he's not sure if he can have it.

    Summary

    An unexpected pressure point for him is the sound of balloons rubbing against each other. 20 years since he’d been taken. 20 years since the black balloons and the magician that was anything but. And it still gets him, that whiney, squeaky noise.
    But Addie’s turning 14. Addie wanted balloons for her birthday. Addie wanted a cacophony of color and light and music and joy and how could Finn deny her such childish delights?

     

    20 years since that horrible basement, and Finney Blake still can't get over the fear simmering in his chest. Fear that it could happen again even now. Fear that his daughter is growing up too fast. Fear that the fact he wishes she could be a child forever isn't just some normal paternal twang of the heart. Fear that it changed him, what happened down there. Fear that he'll hurt her somehow. Fear that he already has with his distance.

    Addie Blake knows nothing of what happened to her father. And if her father has his way, she never will. But the kids at school gossip something awful, there's some voyeuristic journalist out to write another book about it, and the man she sees in her dreams seems oddly familiar.

    He says he knew her father as a boy.

    Summary

    In 1978 five bodies were found buried in an abandoned basement alongside an empty grave that would never receive the last of six boys taken by a man known as The Grabber.
    In 1980 one boy would claw his way to the surface in that very same basement and would be given a chance to live life once more. With a few changes needed first of course.

    An Ernesto Arellano is really Robin Arellano story, prior to The Black Phone 2 and then following through the movie.

    Summary

    When Max is sent away for a month for advanced out of state hospital treatment, Lucas is left with way too much time and way too many feelings. So when he notices the unresolved tension simmering between Will and Mike, he decides to do something about it. But before he can even process what that truly entails, he’s already knee deep in secrets, feelings, and “friendships” that are a lot more complicated than he signed up for.

     

    OR: What starts as a distraction from missing Max turns into the most complicated plan of Lucas’s life as he shifts from helping Will get over Mike to setting them up together (because he’s the bestest, most supportive friend ever, obviously!)
