Queer Writing for a Queer World
//
Holly opens up to Louis about her past while they are on their first date. She hasn’t lived in Cockaigne long and is a little uncomfortable with the casual nudity. While at the park, they see a young couple having sex.
//
It’s the first day of college, and Louis sees someone new in the classroom. He doesn’t recognise the new student and thinks it’s a new boy, until he sees her face. Louis is instantly smitten.
//
After spending a pleasant morning roaming the woods and playing in the lake, Louis and Cian return to the cabin. Cian can hear his brother’s voice. He stops in his tracks, afraid of the consequences if Conor were to see him.
//
Trevor is nearly fourteen and likes to keep fit. Next door lives James, a classmate who is two years older. After doing his chores, Trevor cools off in his pool. James appears, and they become more than passing acquaintances.
//
Cian arrives early at the cabin and surprises Louis. They take a swim in the lake before Ollie and Ewan leave them alone. Once alone, they go to his bedroom.
//
Left alone in the cabin, Louis calls Cian to vent about Conor and how badly he is treating him and they share a special moment. But when Conor returns, he upsets Louis and he has to get away from him.
//
The coming-of-age story of two teenage boys continues. When Aiden spends the night with Davey, they play a game of Truth or Dare. Well, you can guess that the dares turn sexy. The next morning Davey’s mother takes them to the mall where they find Tyler, one of Davey’s friends.
//
Louis is excited that his brother Ollie is moving out. He helps him pack and helps him load the van. But it’s not excitement because he is moving out, it’s because he had been gifted his own cabin and The Cremaster Freedom Resort and is looking forward to staying there with his brother.
//
Kurt and Louis spend the day together and buy new overalls, ready for the start of college. As they eat lunch, Kurt tells a story of a girl he met while staying at his grandparents’ house on the south coast. Later that day, Ollie came home with some spectacular news.
//
Louis’s wishes for the day are ruined because Conor stays home. He meets Cian in the park, where they talk and behave like lovesick teenagers. But Louis is being pestered by Kurt, his best friend, who is due home very soon.
