I LOVE ELIO AND WHEN I SAY LOVE I MEAN LOOOOVE

Timothèe Chalamet was such good casting for Elio and I can proudly say I've read the book and watched the movie (this is fucking astonishing because I normally lurk around the internet)

There's barely any of these so I'll make one myself

•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡

ELIO PERLMAN X MALE READER

•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•♡

Summary: You take the place of Oliver. Elio is 18, you are 20. This takes place in the part of the movie version where Oliver leaves and Elio is left heartbroken but you however realise you can't live without the love of your life so you drag your ass back to him.

—————

Have you ever heard of the phrase distance makes the heart grow fonder? Well in your case that statement is very much true.

You'd just arrived at the airport and your flight was due to be boarding any minute yet you had a sickening feeling in your gut with every step you took closer to that gate. You were about third in line, your passport open on the page with your picture, when suddenly tealisation hits you like a freight train.

This was wrong.

You shouldn't be here.

You should be with him.

So you closed your passport and bolted murmuring 'excuse me' every time someone got in your way because you were now a man with a mission. The wheels of your suitcase could barely keep up as they groaned from your frantic dragging, it was now that you were thanking the lords above that you only travelled with one item of luggage.

You made your way into the main foyer and ran towards the main entrance trying to flag a taxi.

"Scusi, do you need help?" A small woman asked from the side of you seeing your struggle of trying to get a taxi.

"Yes, I need to be in Crema as soon as possible but none of them seem to notice me." You say with a pitiful tone laced with spite.

"Crema?" She asked.

"Yes, I need to visit someone very special to me before it is too late." You reply looking downcast.

"I am going to Crema, I will give you a lift." She said sympathising with your unfortunate situation.

"Really! Thank you so much I'll be forever grateful!" You say in disbelief of this womans generosity.

She just smiles and nods her head. You couldn't resist and wrapped your clumsy frame around her in a loving hug, she laughed and patted your back.

"Come on we must leave if we want to make it by the end of today" She demands ushering you towards the car.

You place yourself in the passenger seat as she gets in the drivers and quickly pulls out of the hellish car park. Your leg bounces up and down in nervous excitement. What if he never forgives you for leaving? What if you were just a summer fling?

What if he didn't want you to return?

"Tell me about them" She says.

And that's how you spend the seemingly never ending journey, rambling on about the boy you had fallen in love with in a scarily short amount of time. The conversation wasn't completely one sided as she tells you about a husband she has waiting for her in her small residence in Crema and how she's been so excited to see him and her little boy - Lèon.

You ride was filled with a love sick aura as you discussed those who you loved dearly and she didn't even blink when you mentioned your lover was a boy. By the end of the journey you'd made a new friend.

The beautiful place of Crema began to appear with its trees lined paths and cobbled roads, outside was nearly dark now as the last 5 hours had been pure travelling with your new companion. She drive the car through the quiet streets before she reached the dusty path that had begun to feel like home over this summer.

She stopped the car and turned to look at you.

"Go in there and you tell that boy you love him and if no one accepts you here come to mine and I'll gladly make up the spare bedroom." She says smiling widely at you.

You lean over and hug her tightly.

"Thank you so much, you don't know how much this means to me." You tell her.

Before you could say anything else though she shooed you out the car wishing you luck.

Nerves started creeping in along with all the negative outcomes and scenarios playing on repeat through your mind as you approached the doors of the Italian villa. Your hand clenched into a fist - your knuckles pale - and knocked on the door thrice.

The sound of rushed footsteps and the noise of blanketed voices talking in Italian caused you to stand up straight with a nervous smile etched on your lips. The door opened and the woman known as Mrs Perlman or as she insisted you called her Anella, had her face turned away from you still in conversation with Mr Perlman.

As soon as she turned her head towards you she let out a gasp and then smiled widely pulling you in for a big hug.

"What are you doing here (___)!?" She said happily.

You were unsure of what to say.

"I ..... couldn't leave?" You said with anticipation.

"(___) my son is in love with you and if you are in love with him then I give you my blessing" She poke quietly and you couldn't help but let tears begin to pool along your water line.

"Go, he's in his room, he hasn't stopped crying since you left." She told you.

With that you bolted up the stairs running towards the door that you'd acquainted yourself with, knocking gently.

"Leave me alone" A voice that sounded almost like a whimper said in Italian.

You turn the handle and peak your head around the door seeing Elio's thin form curled in the bed you used to sleep in, your shirt clutched tightly in his hands.

"Go away" His voice was so tired and fragile.

You went to the bed perching yourself in the space by his upper body. You saw the redness of his cheeks and the paths of the tears leading from his closed eyes, it broke your heart to see his agonised body lying tense in front of you.

Your hand approached his hair and you brushed a stray curl off his forehead, only then did he open his eyes.

As soon as he saw you he leapt into your arms and collapsed into sobs, fingernails dragging along your arms, trying to draw your body impossibly close.

"(___)" He said softly almost as if he wasn't sure you were really there.

"I'm here my love." You whisper moving your arms to wrap around his waist and resting your head on top of his.

You sat like this for what seemed like seconds but was actually nearly half an hour, he just kept whispering your name and clawing your arms and back while sobbing desperately in your arms. Finally his cries subsided into sniffles and he relaxed slightly in your arms.

He looked up at you and you raised your hands to cradle his face in your palms.

"Why are you here?" He asked as if he was scared of your answer.

"Because I love you and I can't imagine my life without you in it." You said before leaning in and pressing a gentle kiss onto his lips which conveyed all the emotions you couldn't put into words.

He kissed back before pulling away with a smile.

"I love you too. Promise me you won't leave again." He asked.

"Of course not, I plan to stay as long as you'll have me." You respond, every word being the truth.

And that's how your life went, a life full of romance and happiness, one where you never left each other for anything that wasn't completely necessary.

It was just you and Elio.

Hair: Varies quite a bit! Sometimes short, sometimes longer, naturally brown but changes that up on occasion too. Slightly curly, usually messy.

Eyes: Deep blue with a very faint elven glow

Height: 6′0"

Build: Slender but toned

Distinguishing Marks: Ears are slightly elongated and have a small point to them, calluses on his fingertips

Scars: Has a few long, thin scars on his biceps and forearms. Has a few old self-harm scars on his inner thighs.

Tattoos: Music staff w/notes on the top of both middle fingers, tree sound waves on his inner right forearm, Darkmoon Faire symbol on his left pec, violin on his inner left forearm, and 'musical DNA' running down his spine (See below images).

Piercings: Earlobes twice, but typically doesn't wear earrings unless it's a part of his performance outfit.

Common Accessories: His fiddle, a hat of some variety (used for busking), a pair of daggers in his boots, an evil eye necklace

Likeness: Tom Blyth

Personal Information –––

Profession: Musician at the Darkmoon Faire. His main instrument is the fiddle/violin, but he also plays piano, banjo, drums, guitar, accordion, harmonica, and sings as well. He's a musical prodigy and finds it easy to pick up instruments on a whim! When not performing, he acts as one of Silas Darkmoon's private investigators. He'll also take the occasional freelance PI contract if he has time and needs the money. Hobbies: Playing music, writing music, learning new instruments, photography, painting, traveling, gambling, busking Languages: Fluent in Common, Orcish, ASL, and Gnomish - knows a mishmash of many other languages as well Currently Living: He has a private wagon with the Darkmoon Faire, but also rents a small apartment in Stormwind. Birthplace: Dalaran Religion: None Fears: Abandonment, hearing loss, losing his found family, getting on the wrong side of Silas Darkmoon Personality: Jace had always been too much of a free spirit to follow in the footsteps of his adoptive parent's profession. Banking was too boring and it never clicked with his creative mind despite their best efforts, and they often butted heads over it. As a child he was a musical prodigy and continues to be to this day; the man lives and breathes music and it has become a central part of his life. There are some rumors circling the fairgrounds that he did a deal with the Old Gods in order to be able to play like he does, but if you ask him he'll just smirk.

Once a shy introvert, music was able to bring him out of his shell and these days he's brimming with charm, confidence, and showmanship. He absolutely loves carrying on deep conversations with anyone he finds interesting, small talk does absolutely nothing for him. He's kind and compassionate when he needs to be, even if he does have a bit of a dark side to him. He can be a mystery, but that just helps him to fit in even more with the majority who work for the Faire. However, if you're not part of the DMF family, he's got no loyalty to you, nor will he feel the need to always be honest with you. Trust takes time and effort to earn.

Relationships –––

Biological Mother: Known Sin'dorei, but has yet to meet her

Biological Father: Unknown Human

Adoptive Mother & Father: Brynn and Aiden Landon - Both humans (now deceased) that lived and worked in Stormwind as bankers.

Children: None that he knows about!

Other Family: His Darkmoon Faire kin

Pets: None

Sex & Romance –––

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Preferred Role: Dominant | Submissive | Switch

Preferred Position: Bottom | Top | Vers

Turn ons: Free spiritedness, open mindedness, the musically inclined, confidence, a sense of adventure

Turn offs: Complainers, insecurity, indecisiveness, lack of ambition, the tone-deaf

Love Language: Words of affirmation

Relationship Tendencies: Not seeking anything serious, but happy for one-nighters, flings, and friends with benefits!

Besides our chosen course. How solid of background does MC have?

Also how old are the casts specifically?

Since MC is up to the player, their background is practically a blank page haha. We only assume your most obvious behavior depending on your seasonal personality. Other than that there are two things that’s universal with MC and that’s their hobby of taking pictures, and an appreciation for puns.

For the puns, It’s fun to write them and the rest of the cast like witty wordplay. As for the picture taking, I wanted to work around a natural reason for why CGs would exist in this slice of life. Normally CGs are of important scenes, but since those kinds of moments will most likely show up in the latter half of the game, there’s nothing for the players to earn in the beginning.

So I decided that MC likes to take photos and that every event there will be a CG! Fun things, random things, things that won’t make sense unless you played the event— those kinds of things. That way, once you wrap up a year, you can look back at the memories you’ve made :D

There was supposed to be a CG at the end of the mini demo but hahhh I didn’t get to add that. But next time, next time—

- - - - -

In order from oldest to youngest and from when you first start playing the game, it is:

Jamie - 22 (Turned 22 in January)

Cameron - 22 (Turned 22 in March)

Reynah - 20 (Will turn 21 in like a couple of weeks from the start of the game actually)

Elio - 20 (Will turn 21 in August)

Percy - 20 (Will turn 21 in October)

Deja - 19 (Will turn 20 in November)

Haha Deja’s a year younger because she skipped a grade in high school.

Also, it wasn’t asked but since we’re talking about it, MC is supposed to be younger than Jamie and Cameron but never younger than Deja. So you can decide for yourself if MC is also turning 20 or 21 later in the year.

Call Me By Your Name is a romance made by the subtle hand of Italian film director Luca Guadagnino. The sun-soaked romance sees Timothée Chalamet's Elio falling for his father's colleague Oliver, played by Armie Hammer. Set in Italy in 1983, this sensual LGBTQ romance movie skips any of the stereotypical melodrama and is more about the things not said between the couple.

Call Me By Your Name is one of the most delicate coming-of-age movies of the 2010s. Chalamet, in his star-making turn, looks younger than his 20 years of age, while Armie Hammer's Oliver is a walking representation of masculinity. Despite the age gap, it never feels predatory, and Elio never stops feeling like a master of his own sexuality.

Always seen you.

Pairings: Ex!Eddie x Insecure!plus size reader x Friend!Elio xFriend!Billy

If you want to read my other work you can find it HERE

A/N: Ooofff. Hello again. Welcome back to my series. The last one was rough and i can’t promise this one won’t be any better. So I still hope you guys like it. Thank you @salenorona23 for your help with this one. Love you Hun! So I was inspired by Rascal Flatts- What hurts the most. I was feeling nostalgic and started listening to my N’sync station and I came across this song. Welp I think that’s all. Thanks for reading. As always feedback is always appreciated. Asks and comments are always welcomed. Kay love ya bye.

Warnings: 18+ language, angst, hurt, heartache, oral, slow burn. Not proof read and no word count.

Summary: The heart refuses to accept what the mind already knows. Is it really over? Could it ever be?

Part 20

Days went by after your break up. You couldn't bring yourself to get out of bed. Elio and Billy tried but it was frivolous. Never in your life had you been so broken. You were shattered into a trillion pieces. You had come to believe you would never be able to put yourself back together.

That picture was the worst thing you could have ever seen. Yes, you knew that it wasn't Eddie's fault. But, you couldn't get over the fact that his lips touched someone else's. Was it selfish of you to want to be the only person he ever kissed? To be the only one who got to touch him. To not want anyone else to have his body and his heart?

Maybe this break would be for the best. Maybe the love you had and the relationship with Eddie had become toxic.

You were doing just fine before you became friends. Your heart never hurt this much before. You thought being in love was supposed to be soft and sweet. Like cotton candy. But it was a never ending, winding road of disappointment, pain and tears.

If things were different, if Eddie never met that producer. Or if you never got into MIT. Things would have worked out. But, things were the way they were. And now you were hopeless…almost lifeless.

Bethany and Matthew tried to call you and talk about what happened. But you didn't want to. The wound was still fresh and you couldn't. Wayne even called to check up on you. But like always you shut yourself down.

Things didn't get better the closer it got to Christmas. You didn't want to go home. Everything there would remind you of him. You couldn't even say or even think of his name.

You found yourself drawing again. Notebook after notebook was filled with broken hearts and love lost. Drawings of storms and sad little cartoons filled page after page.

Even school got hard for you. You would just stare off into the distance every class. And that was the worst because you kept getting flashbacks of all the good memories that turned sad when you saw them again. Work was a constant annoyance. And clubs were no longer fun.

When Christmas came you stood at school. Spending the holiday with Billy, Ellio and his family.

When Eddie went home for Christmas he was looking forward to finally talking to you. And when he saw his van he had hope. But when he talked to his uncle he found out a tow truck brought it back a couple of weeks ago.

Eddie was lost when you left the hotel that day. He didn't know what to do with himself. He talked to Mel about ending the contract. But he found out the penalty for breaking it. The band would have to give up the rights to all the songs that they came up with. And he would have to pay a very hefty fine to the girls. He couldn't put the guys through that. So he held up his end of the contract.

All he had to do was deal with Ava.

One night before new years he was on the tour bus working on a song. Nothing was coming together. The words were shit. And his playing was the worst.

"Eddie? Can I talk to you?"

He looked up and saw Ava standing there.

" I don't want anything to do with you."

" Please. I just really want to apologize for everything."

Eddie scoffed and went back to writing.

" Look, I know what I did was wrong. And I'm really sorry about taking advantage of you. I didn't think it was going to get out."

" Well it did! You should have never been that close to me to begin with."

" I know. I just- I really like you okay. And sometimes I do stupid shit to get what I want. But just know that I honestly feel awful for how things went about. I know that your relationship was important-"

" It still is Ava! Y/n is my everything."

" I-I know. And I'm sorry. But Eddie... We're good together. We work great with one another. You're just so amazing that it's hard not to fall for a guy like you. I know that nothing I say can make you see me differently. But Eddie, we could be so good together. I…I can show you that I'm not really like the person you got to know. And now that y/n is out of the picture-"

Eddie put down his pen and stood up.

" I don't want to get to know you. I know enough. You are the ugliest person I have ever met. Yes the band works great together. But you and I. It's never gonna happen. I love y/n. I want to be with her and no one else. She and I will never be finished. You got that. I don't give a shit if you have real feelings for me or not. Because I fucking hate you. I don't care if you're a really nice person underneath it all. I don't care if you lived or died. And after we're done with this tour. I'm done with you. If I never see you again. It would still be too soon. So stay the hell away from me."

He pushed past her. When he did she grabbed his arm.

" Eddie please-"

He jerked his arm away and pointed his finger in her face.

" THAT IS THE LAST TIME YOU DO THAT! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME AGAIN! DON'T LOOK AT ME. DON'T TALK TO ME. DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT ME."

Eddie stormed off and went to smoke a cigarette. He could hear Jan giving Ava shit about her talking to him. He should have been that firm with her from the beginning. He honestly never was so cruel to anyone. But she needed to know that she didn't have a place in his life.

After that Ava kept her distance. Eddie could still feel her eyes sometimes. But, she stayed away.

When the tour was finally over. Eddie went back to Hawkins for a little while. Though he was happy to be there. He found himself constantly looking out his window to your room. He wished he could go back to all the times he sat there watching you. Seeing you dance around or doing homework. He grabbed his acoustic guitar and started playing. All the happy memories with you ran through his mind.

🎵

Reminiscing now

It makes me wonder how

the distance that we had

Make these moments so sad

The emotions on my face

They can never replace

The moments that we shared

The endless amount of care

What's become of us?

The friendship that started

Now waters uncharted

I see your face inside my head

And all the happiness that lead

To where we were not so long ago

Bleeding hearts that show

I still hear your laugh

I still feel your love.

Our love

🎵

Eddie looked down at his guitar and wiped away his tears.

I miss you Angel.

" Hey son."

Eddie looked up and saw his uncle in the doorway.

" Sounds good."

Eddie gave him a thin lip smile.

Wayne went to sit on the bed next to him.

" Have you talked to her?"

Eddie shook his head.

" Do you want to?"

He nodded.

" Then call her."

"I can't."

" Why not?"

" I've hurt her too much."

Wayne sighed. " It wasn't your fault. You didn't ask that girl to kiss you."

" No it is. If I just said no to the booze it would have never happened. Y/n would still be with me."

" Son. Life is hard enough. I know drinking can be fun. But getting drunk happens. As long as it doesn't happen every damn day. That girl took advantage of you. You can't beat yourself up for that."

" Yes I can. I lost y/n because of it."

" You didn't lose her."

Eddie shook his head. " I did. She's not with me. She said she has feelings for someone else."

" Do you really believe that?"

" N-no. But she said it."

" That's because she didn't know what to do. Girls are like that sometimes. They say things they don't mean when they're hurting. Actually I think we all do. Not that it's right. But you backed her into a corner with the ring."

Eddie put down his guitar. " I don't know what to do."

" I think you both need sometime. To think. To figure out the next step. But want to know something?"

Eddie looked at his uncle.

" It's not over between you two. There's too much there for it to be."

Eddie looked out his window again.

" Just take your time. Work on yourself. There's a lot of growing to do. And there's a lot to take care of right now. So handle your business. And when the time comes. And trust me when I say this. Everything will work out in the end."

…

On New Year's Elio convinced you to go out. Though you didn't want to, you did. You needed to get out of your head for just one night.

You, Elio, and Billy went to a bar. You were wearing such a beautiful red dress that Billy practically drooled seeing you. You guys dance and drank. You were actually having a good time with your friends.

Billy went outside to smoke and you went to join him.

" Hey."

" Hey sweets."

" It's getting really rowdy in there."

" Yeah. People in this town go nuts for New Year's."

You laughed a little. When you started to hug yourself from the cold, Billy took off his jacket and placed it on your shoulders.

" Thank you."

" Can't let you freeze sweets."

You smiled.

After a minute or so Billy saw you swaying to the song Take My breath Away.

He tossed his cigarette and grabbed your hand.

" Dance with me."

You nodded and put a hand on his shoulder as he put his free hand on your waist.

He rocked you back and forth. Spinning you around. Bringing you closer to him after.

" I'm really glad you came out."

You looked at him. " Me too."

There was a moment there where you just looked at each other.

Billy tucked your hair behind your ear. " You look beautiful y/n."

Feeling a little sad you rested your head on his shoulder.

" Thank you."

Billy wanted to kiss you. He wanted to spill his guts but then it started to snow.

You looked up as snowflakes fell on your face.

Billy had never seen you look so beautiful. When you looked back at him he smiled.

" You're a really good friend William. I'm so happy we met."

Billy sighed to himself. Friend.

When the song was over you pulled out of his arms. " Common. It's almost midnight."

You grabbed his hand and led him back inside.

As the countdown began Billy was trying to talk himself into kissing you. Maybe it would be too soon for that. But now Eddie wasn't in his way.

The countdown started. You and Elio started to count. Billy moved to face you two. He got closer and put a hand on your hip. You gave him a sweet smile. One came up so fast.

This is it. He thought. You moved closer to him and he leaned in.

" Happy New Years!" Everyone shouted.

Then you did it. You leaned in and kissed his cheek. Billy watched you pull away and give Elio a kiss on the cheek as well.

That hurt Billy. He thought you were gonna kiss him.

Elio saw a look in Billy's eyes. When you went to get more drinks for them, he got closer to talk him.

" You okay?"

Billy kept his eyes on you. "No."

" Want to talk about it?"

Billy rubbed his chin. "Uhh not right now."

While waiting for the drinks you thought about him. You hoped that his night was good. And that his new year would be wonderful.

Happy New Year Eds.

…

A month after the break up you were fast asleep. You just pulled a double shift at the restaurant and were completely exhausted. That Friday night was so busy, the only break you had was to pee and get something to drink. But the only thing that actually made the night was the amount of tips you left with.

You were suddenly woken up by Billy and Elio throwing themselves on your bed.

" What the-"

" Get up Hun."

" Yeah sweets. You can sleep when you're dead."

" I hate you both so much right now."

Elio smacked your bottom." Get your pretty ass up. We are going to the roller rink."

" Eww. Nope. Don't like that."

Elio got up and went to the closet to pull out an outfit for you. Billy laid down and started poking your side.

" Common sweets. Let's go have some fun."

" I'm tired William."

He pulled the blanket off of you and started to tickle your sides.

" Ahhhhh noooo!" You yelped, pushing his hands away.

He sat on top of you and pinned your hands on either side of your face. He smiled down at you.

"We're going. Even if I have to carry you out kicking and screaming."

" Oh please. You couldn't lift me."

He leaned in, getting closer to your face." Wanna bet."

For a second there. You felt something in his gaze. But you quickly brushed it off and rolled your eyes. Then all of a sudden Billy jumped off the bed and pulled you up. Tossing you over his shoulder.

Your eyes widened." Holy shit!"

" Just grab her shoes E. I got her." Billy said, smacking your bottom.

" You guys really need to stop smacking my ass. You'll give a girl the wrong idea."

Billy and Elio chuckled.

" Not our fault you got a nice ass Hun." Elio said following Billy to the car.

Once inside the rink you tied up your skates and went to the floor. Elio grabbed your hand and started spinning around. When he let you go you spun right into Billy's arms. You were a little dizzy and almost fell. But Billy had a firm hold on you.

You laughed for the first time in a month. The guys had missed that. Missed seeing you smile.

Billy held your hand as you guys skated around the rink. There were a few times there when you would lose your balance and Billy would grab ahold of you. His arms felt nice and he smelled really good.

Were you getting actual feelings for him? He was always there.

No. You thought.

You couldn't have feelings for Billy. Because you were still very much in love with him.

As the night went on, they took you out for pizza. For the first time in a whole month you felt okay. For a brief moment you forgot the sadness that had consumed every part of you. But as you reached for another slice of pizza your eyes fixed on the silver chain bracelet.

Suddenly you weren't so hungry anymore. You pulled your hand away and played with the bracelet.

The guys caught that. They exchanged looks and moved to sit on either side of you. Billy put a hand on the small of your back. Rubbing small circles with his thumb. You leaned into him while Elio grabbed your hand. Squeezing it gently.

You didn't say anything for the rest of the night. There was nothing to say. All you did was feel the pain in your heart. The feeling of sorrow and regret.

When you and Elio got back to your room you grabbed a notebook and started to draw. This one was different from the others. You started drawing a stage. You drew pillars on the sides draping them with black goo. You added some flames and stage lights. Adding a red dragon holding a guitar in its mouth on the very top of the stage. You drew small figures on the stage and a crowd looking up at them. Once you were finished with that one. You turned to a new page and drew a completely different stage. You kept doing that until you had a handful of pictures.

When Elio woke up the next morning he found you passed out with the book in your hands.

He scanned the pictures and shook his head. He ran his thumb across the words stage concepts. He didn't know why you did that. But he knew it wasn't helping you.

When you woke up, Elio was gone already. You went to the bathroom and stared at yourself in the mirror. You looked at your necklace. Then down to your hands. You closed your eyes as tears found them. Your lip quivered and your hands shook as you reached behind your neck and took off the necklace. You looked in the mirror again and wiped your tears away. You slide Eddie's ring and bracelet off. You grabbed the edge of the sink and hung your head.

" I need to not need you anymore." You said to yourself.

You went to your jewelry box and put the stuff in. You looked at all your pictures and picked each one of them up.

" I can't get better when I see you every morning and every night."

You sniffled and put them in the bottom drawer of your dresser. While sitting on your bed you looked out the window.

" I still want you…please wait for me."

You sat there for a while thinking about him. If he was okay. If he was taking care of himself.

Then Elio walked in with some coffee and donuts.

" Morning Hun."

" Morning."

Elio looked around your side of the room and noticed the pictures were gone. He set the stuff on the desk and came to sit with you.

" Are you okay?"

" I…I'm trying to be."

You both were quiet for a minute. Until you started to cry.

Elio held you and started rubbing your back.

" I miss him E. I miss him so much."

" I know Hun…I know."

…

Another month and you were getting better. You were finally getting better. Except at night. You would dream of him. You would dream of his smile. Of his laugh. Then you would wake up in tears. Elio would get up every time and hold you until you fell back asleep.

He didn't know what to do. He felt like you would always be like this.

That was until the following month. You stopped waking up like that. You still missed him and you still dreamt of him. But it got easier. Though you still hurt. That was the only way you could hear his voice. It was the only way you could see him.

One day the phone rang when you were in the bathroom getting ready for a night out with the guys.

Elio came to the door.

" Hey umm Jeff is on the phone."

You looked over and smiled. You went to the phone.

" Hello?"

" Hey!"

You let out a small laugh. " Hey Jeffy. How goes it?"

" It's good. I'm good. How are you?"

You looked at Elio and sat down.

You started fidgeting with the hem of your shirt. " Umm better."

" That's good. You sound better."

There was an awkward silence and Jeff knew what you wanted to ask.

" He's okay y/n. He's umm he's been focusing on the music."

" That's…that's good."

When it got quiet again, Jeff cleared his throat.

" Yeah. So umm the reason I called is, we're gonna be in Boston for a show next week."

" Really? That's cool."

" Yeah it's just us."

" Oh-okay."

" I uhhh. Was wondering if you would like to come?"

" O-oh…I-I. I don't-"

" I know that you guys aren't together. But you and I are still friends. And you're still friends with Gareth…we want to see you. I know…he would like to see you."

" I don't think-"

" Y/n you've always supported us. Even now. You still send me cards congratulating us on our new album and playing bigger venues….we really would like for you to come. Please."

You looked at your bottom drawer. You wanted to say yes. But you didn't want to backslide.

" I'm-I'm really sorry Jeff. I can't. I have a lot of work and school is hectic right now."

Jeff sighed. " Oh-okay. Well if you change your mind there will be three tickets for you and the guys at the ticket booth."

You guys were quiet again.

" I really am sorry Jeff."

" Me too."

" I'll- I'll talk to you later okay?"

" Yeah. Umm y/n?"

" Yeah?"

" Take care of yourself okay."

" I will."

" Bye. "

" Bye."

When you hung up Eddie looked at Jeff. Jeff just shook his head.

Eddie pressed his lips together, nodded and left. He went straight to a meeting. It's been three whole months and he hasn't picked up a drink. He wanted to. God he wanted to so badly. But he had to get better. Not just for his friends or for himself. But for you. To get you to trust him again. To get you back.

When you put the phone down Elio stood in front of you.

" What did he want?"

You looked up at him.

" He invited us to go see them in Boston.

"Oh...Do you want to go?"

You swallowed and looked back at the drawer. " It would be nice to see them again."

To see him.

" But?"

You sighed. " I don't know if I will be strong enough to handle seeing him."

Elio squatted in front of you and grabbed your hands. " Hun. You're doing so good now. You're finally laughing and smiling again. And I get that if it's too soon for you. Then it's fine to not go. But you'll never know if you are truly getting better if you can't even say his name. So let me ask you. Do you want to see Eddie?"

His name made your heart skip. Hearing it made you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

You smiled. " Yes E. I want to see Eddie."

Elio got serious. " Okay. But if it ever gets too much to handle. Just give us the word and we'll get the hell out of there."

You nodded." Okay."

When you told Billy about going to Boston to support the band, he instantly thought it was a bad idea. He was just starting to get closer to you. And he didn't want you to get hurt again.

The whole drive there, he couldn't shake this feeling that something bad was gonna happen.

You guys got to the arena and got your tickets. Jeff even got you guys backstage passes. You didn't want to be that close to the stage yet. Afraid being that close to it might be too much. So you guys went to your balcony seats and waited.

The lights went out and you heard Eddie open. Everyone was screaming his name as the light shined on him. He looked so good. But you could see he was wasn't as into it as he used to be.

He was rocking the shit out of that stage and you could see him trying to put on his best performance. But he didn't look at the crowd. He went to the mic and started to sing. You caught yourself singing along with him.

Elio and Billy watched you the whole time. Waiting to see if you needed them. But you didn't. You bobbed your head and swayed your hips to each and every song.

Billy was happy that you were ok. But a part of him wished you weren't. He felt bad for feeling that way. But he was in love with you. And he didn't want you to want anyone else.

When the show was over. You decided you wanted to go backstage and talk to your friends. Elio and Billy followed.

You saw Gareth first. He was signing autographs.

" Gare!"

When he looked up his eyes widened.

" Uhh excuse me." He said to a couple of fans.

He jogged to you and gave you the biggest hug.

" I thought you couldn't come."

" Yeah. I'm sorry. I should have called to say I could."

He let you go and looked you over. " Damn! You looked."

You giggled. " I feel good. You guys were awesome."

He chuckled and called Jeff over.

" Y/n?! Shit you came."

" Hi Jeffy." You said giving him a big hug too.

The guys said their hellos and you looked around for Eddie.

" Uhh he went to the bus. He said he had to change real fast." Gareth whispered in your ear while giving you another hug.

You looked at Elio and Billy. " Umm I'm gonna go find Eddie okay?"

" We'll come with you." Billy said.

" No. It's okay. I'll be fine."

Elio looked worried. " Are you sure?"

" Yeah. It will be okay. I can do this." You reassured them.

The guys nodded and watched you walk away.

You went out the back entrance and saw the bus. While taking a deep breath and started for it. You felt so nervous but really excited to see him. What were you gonna say?

You stopped when you got to the side of the bus and started practicing what you were going to do.

Should I hug him?...No. Not yet.

" Hey Eds."

You shook your head and tried that again.

" Hi Eddie. I'm uhh you guys were great."

You sighed.

" Hey Munson. Great show."

Yeah thats it.

You opened the door and climbed up the steps. You didn't see him right away so you announced yourself.

Your voice was low, almost a whisper " Eddie?"

You walked through the big vehicle and made it to the back room door. It was open just a crack. You heard shuffling and some grunting. You raised your hand to knock when you heard Eddie groaned. You should have left right then and there. But your curiosity got the better of you. You pushed the door a little and caught a sight that you weren't prepared for.

There was a long haired blonde girl on her knees sucking Eddie off. Your heart fell. Eddie's head was thrown back and his hand on the back of her head. You started backing away. But you ran into a closet knocking over something.

You looked down trying to catch whatever it was, but you weren't fast enough.

When you looked back up, Eddie's eyes were wide as you met them.

You quickly turned around and left.

" Y/n!" Eddie called after you.

He pushed the girl away and pulled up his pants.

He ran out of the room. Once he was off the bus he saw you heading for the door.

" Y/n please wait."

You tried so hard not to cry. All you could think about was that this was your fault. Eddie had moved on because you told him that you wanted someone else.

Eddie grabbed your arm. When you turned around he let you go.

" Y/n I can explain."

" N-no." You shook your head not looking at him. " It's…it's none of my business."

Eddie didn't know you were coming. If he had he would have kicked that girl out when he found her in the bus.

" Y/n it was nothing…I swear."

" No Eddie. It's fine. I-I just came to say hi. And that you did a great job."

Eddie knew you were hurt. He could hear it in your voice. He could feel it.

" Y/n please." He tried to get you to look at him. I-I didn't know-"

" It's fine. Really. I-I h-have to go. Umm Elio and Billy are waiting for me." You finally met his eyes." Take care of yourself…goodbye Eds."

Eddie's heart shattered watching you walk away from him again. What the fuck did he just do?

When you got back to the guys they immediately knew something was wrong.

You went straight to Billy. " Take me home."

He cupped your face and nodded. " Let's go."

He handed Elio the keys and sat in the back with you as you cried.

" What happened?"

" It's…it's all my f-f-fault. "

" What is? What happened? Please sweets... Please talk to me." Billy pleaded.

You shook your head. " H-h-he was with someone…. What …what have I done?"

Billy held you tighter. " You did do anything. Okay? What he did was his choice."

You cried hard." He moved on. He-he's gone now."

Billy wanted to kill Eddie for making you like this again. But all he could do was be there for you.

When you guys went back to the dorm you were all cried out. Billy and Elio helped you into bed. Before Billy could leave you grabbed his hand.

" Please stay."

The sad look in your eyes killed him.

He nodded and took off his jacket and shoes. Climbing into bed with you.

You fell asleep in his arms soon after.

Elio laid on his bed watching you two.

" Billy?" He whispered.

" Hmmm?"

" Promise me you won't hurt her like he did."

Billy looked over at Elio and whispered back. " I would never hurt her…I love her."

Elio laid back and looked up at the ceiling. " I know you do. But she's not ready yet."

Billy sighed and looked at you. Moving a strand of hair behind your ear.

" Hopefully one day she will be…until then. I will be here. Always."

**********

Fiction-wise, this was actually a better year than you'd think from just eyeballing the list. The overall numbers are still below par, and there's too much shlocky formulaic mystery-series-type stuff; but there was a lot of real quality in there. I had real trouble deciding on my top two, and I ended up not giving either prize to a book by Jenna Moran writing at her normal level of quality, so that says something. There were a number of books that disappointed by not being amazing but that I'm still glad to have read (e.g. Summer in Orcus, The Hands of the Emperor). Even the shlocky formulaic stuff had more merit than you might expect, in many cases.

Serious contemplatively-emotional litfic is real good, at its best. Turns out.

Non-fiction-wise, this was a shitshow of unparalleled proportions. I read almost nothing, and what I read was uninspiring. (I started s number of things that I failed to finish, which didn't help.) I seriously considered making this a "no award" year. I am once again asking for your recommendations for really good, deeply-informative, blow-your-mind-open non-fiction.

Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell Will Eat You Alive: How ‘Bones and All’ Became the Year’s Sexiest Cannibal Love Story

By Nick Vivarelli Photographs by Jason Hetherington

Timothée Chalamet has been on a wilder world tour than most rock stars.

Between shooting “Dune: Part Two” in Budapest and “Wonka” in London and the cannibal romance “Bones and All” in Ohio, he’s hardly had time to sleep in his own bed. “We did the ‘French Dispatch’ premiere in Cannes,” he says about the debut of the Wes Anderson comedy in the south of France two summers ago, where he walked the red carpet in a silver suit. “And then I was immediately doing the vocal and dance training at Leavesden” — to take on the role of Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka — “which was wonderful, because I went from playing a disenfranchised cannibal on the outskirts of American society in the ’80s to a gifted young chocolatier and now a space prophet.”

On this afternoon, 26-year-old Chalamet is taking a break from inhabiting the dangerous planet Arrakis in “Dune: Part Two” to attend the London premiere of “Bones and All.” The drama, which premiered to a 10-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival in early September reteams Chalamet with Luca Guadagnino, the Italian director who turned him into a movie star with 2017’s Sundance darling “Call Me by Your Name.” That gay romance, in which Chalamet plays Elio, an American teenager who falls in love with an older man, not only made Chalamet, then 22, the second-youngest best actor Oscar nominee in history, it gave peach emojis a whole new reason for existing.

If “Bones and All” could be just as culturally relevant, Hollywood would breathe a sigh of relief — because the world of indie cinema could use a jolt. Some 20 years ago, a generation of movie lovers funded art-house theaters by supporting “Boogie Nights,” “Memento” and “The Virgin Suicides.” Now, the 2022 equivalent of storytelling like that is HBO’s “Euphoria.” Post-pandemic box office numbers are sharply down, particularly for smaller movies, which is why United Artists Releasing has given “Bones and All” a Nov. 18 theatrical release: It’s the same window in which almost all installments of the “Twilight” saga dropped, setting multiplexes on fire as teen girls showed up in droves for Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

When I meet Chalamet in a hotel room in London, the young actor offers to pour me a glass of sparkling water as we sit down for a conversation with Guadagnino and Chalamet’s co-star, Taylor Russell. Hollywood has had a deficit of movie stars lately, particularly in the 20-something age bracket. Chalamet’s superstar appeal has always been in his “soft boy” aesthetic (which was famously parodied in a hilarious “Saturday Night Live” skit by Chloe Fineman). His fans like that he’s approachable, but he can also turn it up like royalty on a carpet — as he did at the Venice premiere of “Bones and All” in a red jumpsuit with a bare back that created a commotion on the Lido. Chalamet was showered with more cheers than even Harry Styles, who touched down in Italy at the start of awards season for “Don’t Worry Darling.” (Despite speculation on Twitter, Styles didn’t spit on Chris Pine.)

At Venice, Chalamet made headlines when he proclaimed that it’s “tough to be alive” in the age of social media, adding, “I think societal collapse is in the air.” When asked to elaborate on this assertion in London, he backpedals: “I think what I was saying was really, ‘What would it be like to grow up now?’” he says. “I guess I’m still growing up. Especially in the context of my career, I’m still growing. But I think Taylor and my generation was really the level-one social media — Vine, MySpace. And I think now it’s just more ingrained. But I’m definitely not the authority on the subject. And, equally, it could be a great space to find your people.”

I’d taken my 14-year-old daughter with me to the premiere of “Bones and All,” and we watched the screaming hysteria around Chalamet. When the movie premiered six weeks later in Milan, hundreds of Chalamet’s devotees — his followers are known as the “Chalamaniacs” — swarmed the venue, forcing police to close down the red carpet due to safety concerns. Such fandom harks back to the early days of Leo, Matt, George and Brad.

“Venice — that was fun,” Chalamet says, though “fame,” to people of his generation, is a dirty word, and Chalamet clearly wants to be seen as a regular guy (for instance, he continued to ride the subway in New York after “Call Me by Your Name” premiered). “I enjoy those moments,” he says, “and have a lot of gratitude for them. And I definitely never want to be expectant about it.” Abruptly switching subjects, he adds, “And, I must say, I get very excited about the lens we made this movie through — that there’s a fable and a metaphor at the heart of it, not some massive corporate interest.”

An arty New York City kid at heart, Chalamet chooses his own looks, including the black leather Celine jacket he wears at our photo shoot. As for his thoughts on cinema, he has a soft spot for indie films. “Those are the kind of projects that I grew up loving,” he says. “Even just on the music side, those are the kind of artists that inspire me — not because there’s a beat per minute that places well in the Top 40, but because they’re just putting their artistic ethos on something.”

Chalamet knows a little something about music. At the famed LaGuardia High School, he had the rap moniker Lil Timmy Tim. An uncovered video of him rapping about statistics class while wearing a backward baseball cap has been watched 10 million times on YouTube. Soon, he’ll be returning to those roots (sort of) by channeling a young Bob Dylan in “Going Electric,” a biopic directed by James Mangold.

Although there have been starts and stops with “Going Electric” since it was first announced two years ago, Chalamet confirms that he’s still attached. “I haven’t stopped preparing, which has been one of the greatest gifts for me,” he says. “It’s been a wonderful experience getting to dive into that world, whether we get to make it or not. But without giving anything away — because I don’t want to beat anyone to the punch, and obviously things have to come together officially — the winds that are blowing are blowing in a very positive direction.”

Before that, fans will get a taste of Chalamet’s musical gifts in “Wonka,” which is set to open in theaters around Christmas 2023. Chalamet trained hard for the movie’s seven musical numbers. “That was something I was very excited to jump into right away,” he says. Director Paul King “built a literal dance studio in one of the lots at Leavesden in London at Warner Bros.,” he adds.

The actor’s career blossomed after “Call Me by Your Name,” with two dramas directed by Greta Gerwig — “Lady Bird” and “Little Women.” And then he landed the lead as Paul Atreides in the “Dune” franchise, his biggest hit to date.

“Dune: Part Two,” which he’s filming now, reunites him with “Little Women” co-star Florence Pugh. “We were joking on set that we keep doing these movies, and we end up together even though we should be ending up with different people,” he says. “Florence is really special. She’s an incredible actor. She was incredible in ‘Dune’ — seriously incredible. She brought a gravitas to the role. And I can’t believe my good fortune at this young age … between Taylor Russell in ‘Bones and All’ and Zendaya in ‘Dune.’ And Austin Butler’s in that movie too.”

Zendaya will have a larger role in the second “Dune,” reprising her part as the warrior Chani. “She hasn’t wrapped yet,” he says, “and it’s amazing. She’s bringing exactly what she brought to the first one — which was incredible — but in greater abundance. And she’s really become a sister. I’m so grateful to count her as a partner and a sister and a friend” — he looks over at Guadagnino — “and also to share stories about how amazing it is to work with Luca, because we worked with him back to back on wildly different projects.” He’s referencing the fact that Zendaya collaborated with Guadagnino on “Challengers,” a romantic comedy set in the tennis world, which is in postproduction.

“He saw the movie,” Guadagnino teases, goading Chalamet to comment.

Chalamet hesitates, not wanting to give away anything about the film. “Loved it,” he finally says. His smile lights up the room.

If we’re being honest, this Oscar season has been a bit boring. Between the period pieces and the dramas made from memoirs, most directors aren’t cutting too deep. So perhaps we shouldn’t count out a love story about two cannibals who eat their way through the back roads of America.

The conventional wisdom is that blood and guts is too much for most Academy voters, but Guadagnino is here to tell you that’s not always the case. “In the history of the Oscars, cannibalism has been a gigantic plus,” he says. He then lists the five Academy Awards handed to the greatest flesh-eating masterpiece of all time, “The Silence of the Lambs.” “There’s a very tough novel, the talented script and Sir Anthony Hopkins as the unforgettable cannibal.” He cites the film’s director, Jonathan Demme, as a strong influence on his own career.

“I’m not comparing myself or us to that masterpiece,” he says. (OK, maybe he is, just a little.) “But that was a love story like ‘Bones and All.’ It was a fun, twisted love story between a cannibal psychoanalyst and a very stern woman who wants to save herself by saving this other girl from the lair of a serial killer.”

If you’re raising your eyebrows at someone describing “Silence of the Lambs” as “fun,” you haven’t met Guadagnino. The tall, chatty Italian director has spent his entire life obsessing over Dario Argento’s horror classic “Suspiria.” Following “Call Me by Your Name,” Guadagnino directed an elegant remake, in which flesh is ripped and heads explode.

Now, he’s reunited with Chalamet on “Bones and All, which is not quite the next “Silence of the Lambs” but more along the lines of Terrence Malick’s “Badlands” or Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo + Juliet.” In “Bones,” Chalamet and Russell play Lee and Maren, teenage misfits in the 1980s, who find each other in a roadside convenience store as they’re both drifting across the Midwest. As they travel together, they feed on strangers they meet along the way.

But just don’t compare cannibals to vampires with this crew. “I love the ‘Twilight’ movies so much,” says Russell, who broke out in 2019 with a heart-wrenching performance in Trey Edward Shults’ family drama “Waves” and now could have a shot at some awards-season gold playing Maren. “But this is different. They both deal with blood and people who are not normal, but ‘Twilight’ has vampires and this movie has cannibals.”

For many years, Guadagnino — the director of “The Protagonists,” “I Am Love” and “A Bigger Splash” (all starring his muse, Tilda Swinton) — was either detested or ignored within Italy’s insular film milieu, and the feeling was mutual. So it’s not surprising that the first time I met him, in 2009, he told me his goal was to become “a Hollywood insider.” Surely, “Call Me by Your Name” brought him a step closer to that dream. And now his association with Chalamet has potentially clinched the deal.

When asked how “Bones and All” made it to the big screen, Guadagnino says, “The honest, direct and completely unapologetic answer is Timothée.”

Chalamet was in Rome doing reshoots for the first “Dune,” stuck in Europe during the pandemic, when Guadagnino sent him the “Bones and All” screenplay. They talked at length, and the actor realized that this could be the first project in which he might have a hand in shaping his character.

“It excited me, because it felt like it was very different than the first project we had done together,” Chalamet says. “It excited me, too, because I felt the bones of Lee — no pun intended — were there, but there was a lack of direction.” Guadagnino encouraged Chalamet to fill out the character by working with the screenwriter, David Kajganich, an experience he’d never had before.

“When Luca said I should get on the phone with David, and that process started, I was seriously warming to the idea that — without sounding pretentious — we would be going to the middle of America with Luca to shoot his first American film.” He adds, “And because a couple projects I’d done were of such a size, I felt like I really wanted the challenge of going back in a more ‘indie environment.’” He uses his fingers as quotation marks.

Kajganich, with whom Guadagnino collaborated on “Suspiria,” had originally adapted the YA novel “Bones & All” by Camille DeAngelis for “The Devil All the Time” director Antonio Campos. When Campos backed out, the writer asked Guadagnino to read it.

“When Lee shows up on the page,” says Guadagnino, “I found Timmy.”

Despite having a big star attached, the cannibal romancer was not an easy sell to investors. Guadagnino and Chalamet, both producers on the film, didn’t want a studio on board, so they sought out Italian financiers. The fact that they and all the other actors were willing to defer their fees “really helped with investors,” says producer Francesco Melzi d’Eril.

Once the $35 million film was completed, it was immediately snapped up, sight unseen, by MGM.

Taylor Russell could see her character clearly when she first read the script for “Bones and All.” “What struck me about her initially is that she’s this kind of creature who feels like there’s something off with her, like a picture frame that’s slanted,” Russell says. “And I wanted to work through that exercise of ‘If there is something inherently wrong with me, is there a way to break through that?’”

Guadagnino told Russell and Chalamet that they had to sink their teeth into the role of real cannibals. “The intention was always that we were hopefully doing justice to the reality of these people’s lives,” says Russell.

Guadagnino calls “Bones” “a fairy tale.” “It’s about two young people — a girl, in particular — roaming this world of darkness and dealing with the challenges within and without, finding love in the gaze of one another and trying to overcome impossibility.”

Still, the outcast lovers feast on human body parts, a butchery the film does not shy away from. Guadagnino says quickly that he and his editor, Marco Costa, made a point of cutting away from gratuitous gore. He was not interested in shock value but rather an intensity of desire.

Russell and Chalamet, for their part, wanted to explore the emotional relationship more than the cannibalism. But, Russell says, they also “talked about eating somebody, eating anything, using your body, your hands, your mouth — it’s so tactile, so physical, that, in some ways, it’s simple.”

Guadagnino and his team thought about the consequences of a precarious life led roaming through cornfields and along back roads in the 1980s Midwest, “dealing with violence and the unexpected.”

“We came up with a lot of very subtle ideas about wearing the fatigue of being an eater on their faces and bodies — like scars in unpredictable places because of the reactions of the victims, who wounded them.”

One of Chalamet’s first lines in the film is “If you weigh 140 pounds wet, you got to have an attitude — a big attitude.” Asked whether he lost weight for the role, Chalamet answers, “Yeah,” without elaborating on how many pounds he’d dropped. Then he says, “That look that Maren and Lee have, I think it feeds the fablelike quality of the story, and of people that are living in extremes. As opposed to what the reality would be, perhaps: If you were consistently devouring entire human bodies, it would probably leave you with a bigger figure than they have.”

Chalamet worked with costume designer Giulia Piersanti on Lee’s look, riffing off the grunge aesthetic of 1980s punk rock. “Lee would want to express himself through his clothes,” Chalamet says. To help with this mix of big attitude and skinny body, they decided to dye his hair with sun-bleached streaks of pinkish reds, chop off some curls on the sides, and give Lee tattoos on his arms and hand.

Of course, everyone wants to know if Chalamet and Guadagnino are planning a sequel to “Call Me by Your Name.” Guadagnino floated the idea almost as soon as he debuted the original at Sundance, while he was doing press with Chalamet and Armie Hammer, who played Chalamet’s older lover, Oliver. But the project’s chances of making it to the screen have dwindled in the wake of allegations against Hammer in early 2021 for being physically and emotionally abusive to women, including suggesting that he eat their flesh. (Despite speculation in the tabloids, these cannibal exchanges had nothing to do with the inspiration for “Bones and All.”)

“I would love to make a second and third and fourth chapter of all my movies,” Guadagnino says. “Why? Because I truly love the actors I work with, so I want to repeat the joy of doing what we did together.”

However, when it comes to “Call Me by Your Name,” Guadagnino says, “there is no hypothesis, so there is no movie. It’s a wish and a desire, and I have not made up my mind about what would be the story.” When asked if the film could still include Hammer’s character, he says, “Yeah, of course.” Then he presents another potential storyline for a sequel — following Mafalda, the housekeeper, played by Vanda Capriolo, who resides in Elio’s family’s summer home. “Which is divine,” he says. “I would be very interested in seeing what is the life of Mafalda when she’s not around the family.”

After our group conversation, I meet with Guadagnino again in a bare, neon-lit room that seems better suited to a police interrogation than an interview. He is walking on crutches, one leg in a short fracture boot, due to his tripping on the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures stage after presenting a Visionary Award to Tilda Swinton in L.A. a few days earlier.

On the red carpet, before the Academy Museum ceremony, Guadagnino teased “Challengers,” his first U.S. studio film, which is being produced for MGM by Amy Pascal. To get Guadagnino on board, Pascal had sent him the “Challengers” script and pushed him to read it that same afternoon. She called him every half hour “until I surrendered and I read it.”

So does Guadagnino finally feel he has become a Hollywood insider?

“No,” he says, “not yet. But I can fall from the stage of the Academy Museum and be helped by many Hollywood insiders.” Among those who came to his aid were Adrien Brody, Alicia Vikander and his longtime agent, Bryan Lourd. “That was a good feeling. A lot of Hollywood insiders love me very much.”

hi :] 6, 8, 23 and 27

6. do they have pet names for each other? Do they like them?

Ray has an array of italian pet names he likes to use for Vincent; bello or amore being the most common. Vincent likes the sound of them so he doesn’t really mind; besides he loves listening to Ragan speaking italian. he sometimes calls him Elio (meaning sun) or Eli (short for Elijah) - which was how his mother would call him - but uses it very sporadically since it tends to trigger Vincent in a bad way.

Vincent isn’t big on using pet names, the closest he gets to a pet name is shortening someone’s name – in Ragan’s case it’s calling him Ray - and he has exclusive rights to calling him that. he sometimes jokingly calls him his ray of sunshine, but aside from that, he sometimes uses love and very rarely honey. Ragan melts every time Vincent uses one of those, but finds his nickname Ray really endearing as well.

8. what do they find physically sexiest about each other?

Vincent is absolutely crazy about Ray’s lower half. he’s an ass man by definition and would spend hours staring at Ray’s rear end. he’s obsessed with his big strong thighs, the way the muscles dip and curve, how the fabric stretches around them. Ray often uses it to his advantage making sure to sway his hips when waking by, purposefully wearing tight fitting jeans or really short shorts, not throwing away pants with rips, or indulging Vince by sitting in his lap and letting him run his hands down his thighs.

for Ray it’s Vince’s shoulders and neck. he loves how broad he is. his massive build makes him feel tiny in comparison despite being only 20 centimeters or so shorter than him. he liked digging his fingers into his back, hibbing him back rubs and massages, running his fingertips over the defined muscles and textured skin. the burns and scars don’t take away the beauty and only make this part of Vince’s body that much hotter and more unique. he often catches himself staring at Vincent’s back when he’s wearing a tight shirt or it’s clinging to his sweaty back.

23. what was their first impression of each other?

[2037]

to Ragan Vincent came off as textbook example of a NC dweller; rude, selfish wish a sharp tongue and colorful string of curses in his pocket. a rebellious street punk, tall and intimidating, he immediately piqued Ragan’s interest. wearing dark clothes, pale with no kitsch cyberware he stood out from the flashy crowd of NC’s young punks, and was a nice contrast to what Ragan was used to seeing out in the Badlands. despite Vincent’s rather cold demeanor towards Ragan he saw something in him. first impression – cute but a raging asshole.

Vincent was conflicted about how he felt about Ray, at first he hated his bubbly personality and how friendly he was with his friends and with him, but on the other hand - even if he tried - he couldn’t deny the man’s attractiveness. there was something pulling Vince towards Ray – be it his charming persona or a pretty pearly smile and those gorgeous gorgeous eyes. first impression – handsome idiot.

27. what interests do they share? For interests they don't share, do they ever participate anyway?

what started as a remedy for soreness quickly turned into a hobby of sorts - Vincent have been practicing yoga for some time now and it slowly crept into his daily routine, so much so he starts off his day with a yoga and a quick meditation sesh, even if he has to wake up before the break of dawn. Ray sometimes (when he feels like waking up this early) takes part in Vince's early shenanigans and overtime he gets quite good at it as well! however he's more of a passive enjoyer when it come's to Vincent's interest in yoga, he likes to watch him from the distance. it's always quite a sight. one more thing Vincent has an interest in that Ray doesn't share nor participate are chess. after losing way too many games he swore to never play with Vince again. Ray's such a sore loser - just like his input. one thing they do share is watching terrible, cringy or cheesy movies and reality shows. Vince is an avid drama reality show watcher (picture Love Island but make it cyberpunk), he loooves to bitch about the people in it and Ray is right with him on that. they both comment on the contestants’ actions throughout the whole episode and usually end up binging the whole or half a season in one go. Ray loves old cheesy romance movies and old western and forces Vincent to watch them with him. Vince won't ever admit it but he does like the cheesy romance movies more than the action packed westerns. Ray's one interest that Vincent doesn't share but still tries to participate in is old tech. he loves taking apart old cassette tapes, CD players and radios, making his own little devices from parts he finds himself or ones Vincent brings him from the city's pawnshops and vintage stores. Vince can't understand how Ray can be so invested in ancient tech like this, but he himself has his own weird little interests and loves old cars and furniture so he can't really say anything about it.

#for the old couple ask game 🗣🗣#thanks homie i love talking about my blorbos #ship: eclipsis solis 🌑#oc: vincent elijah vahn #oc: ragan ray vanzetti #lore: ragan #lore: vincent e. vahn

Family

Mother: tbd

Father: Beauregard 'Beau' Josue Durand

Brother:

Élliot Zacharie Durand - tbd

Wife (deceased):

Clelia Bellona Durand (née Rovere) - Clelia and Aldéric met each other at a dinner party when they were in their early 20s. Clelia worked as a Spy/Auror for the International Confederation of Wizards. She was tasked with keeping an eye on suspicious affairs all over the world, especially in the UK during the Second Wizarding War. He fell for her witty and daring personality in an instant and they eloped a year after. Soon she found herself pregnant and the two were overjoyed to welcome a new member to their family. Jupiter followed two years after but their happiness shouldn't last very long as Clelia was killed by Death Eaters about 3 months after the birth of their second child.

Children:

Elio Amédée Durand (b. in 1995) - Aldéric is super proud of Elio! Not only did he grow up to be a kind and confident man but he also managed to become Seeker for the Quiberon Quafflepunchers and the French National Team. The two are thick as thieves and would train together all the time. Elio took him on surfing trips when he was older.

Jupiter Adèlie Durand (b. in 1997) - His little baby! He used to take her stargazing when she was little, telling Jupiter her mother was now a star in the night sky. He loves her to bits and she admires him greatly. They could talk about anything and everything for hours. He really tries to be a good dad and it shows in his strong relationship with his children.

Backstory

Aldéric grew up within the walls of Fort Durand where he learned all about dragons, combat and duelling. He later became one of the most renowned Dragonologists of his time (reason yet tbd).

—

After the death of his wife, merely months after the birth of their daughter Jupiter, he was utterly devastated. In an attempt to drown out the pain, he flung himself into work for the resistance. Alongside Kaari, he escorted or more so smuggled innocent wizards out of the UK and offered them refuge at Fort Durand, knowing it to be safe. After the war and now a single dad, he retreated to Norway for a while to heal his emotional wounds and worked with Kaari at his sanctuary—his kids and their safety now his top priority. Between his studies and travels, he’d go back and forth between France and Skalafell, taking his kids with him wherever he’d go, as long as it wasn't too dangerous.

When Elio was about to turn 11 he agreed to fill in the spot of Professor for CoMC at Hogwarts—although only temporarily. Little did he know that he'd soon find it quite fun and what was supposed to be a year had turned into (a not yet defined number of) years. As he is really passionate about dragons he offered extra classes on Dragonology for interested students.

After his time as Professor, he returned to his usual work and took over the fort—still travelled a ton and helped out Kaari whenever he needed him. He gives lectures from time to time.

Magic

House: Gryffindor

Best Class: CoMC, DADA

Worst Class: Divination

Quidditch: Chaser

Clubs: Duelling Club

Wand: Fir Wood, Dragon Heartstring Core, 14 1/2 inches, Slightly Yielding Flexibility

➔ My august grandfather, Gerbold Octavius Ollivander, always called wands of this wood ‘the survivor’s wand’, because he had sold it to three wizards who subsequently passed through mortal peril unscathed. There is no doubt that this wood, coming as it does from the most resilient of trees, produces wands that demand staying power and strength of purpose in their true owners, and that they are poor tools in the hands of the changeable and indecisive. Fir wands are particularly suited to Transfiguration, and favour owners of focused, strong-minded and, occasionally, intimidating demeanour.

Animagus: –

Boggart: his kids lying on the floor, covered in blood and not moving

Riddikulus: blood turns into jam and his kids are DISGUSTED, still they try to get up but keep slipping

Patronus: Black bear

Patronus Memory: kissing his wife for the first time

Mirror of Erised: tbd

Amortentia (what he smells like): aftershave, oak wood, vanilla, old books, petrichor

Amortentia (what he smells): oranges, vanilla, sage, clean linen, a dash of white wine

Magical Abilities: can understand and talk to dragons

Career

9–13: Student at Beauxbartons 13–18: Student at Hogwarts 18–25: Dragonologist 25-26: Escort/Raider/Smuggler for the Pheonix Resistance? 26–36: Dragonologist; Works at Fosan Sanctuary 36–?: Prof. for Care of Magical Creatures; Dragonologist ?-?: Dragonologist; gives lectures from time to time

Personality & Attitude

Personality: seems intimidating but is a soft idiot, very protective of his loved ones, likes a good challenge

Strengths: caring, curious, very convincing/confident, duelling, physical combat, diligent, responsible (when he‘s older), logical, observant

Weaknesses: stubborn, argumentative, can be a bit cocky

Stressors: his loved ones in danger or at risk, dragons getting abused

Comfort: dragons, exercise (martial arts), cuddles, sword fighting, a warm and crackling fireplace

Priorities: his kids, friends, keeping others safe, honour, dragons?

Style: classy, turtlenecks, wears light leather armour when working or required

Relationships

Friends:

Kaari Arcano @kathrynalicemc - Kaari and Aldéric met when they both transferred schools in the same year. They quickly bonded over their shared love for dragons and from then on often got into trouble together. They were both Chasers for the Gryffindor team and would make the lives of the other teams a living hell. After Hogwarts, the two went on to work as Dragonologists and would occasionally work together to bust illegal dragon fights and nurse the dragons back to health. When Aldéric asked Kaari to be his kids' godfather they both legit cried.

Devon Marlowe @kathrynalicemc - Story loading …

Semele Thorne @endlessly-cursed - Story loading …

Farrow Raeburn @potionboy3 - Farrow was involved in one of the many dragon-related incidents Kaari and Al caused at Hogwarts - fanning the flames of his already big fear of dragons. They weren't close in school but later met again in Romania to work together and became friends(?).

Rivals:

Lyse Spindle @magicallymalted- Story loading …

Open for more friendships and rivals :)

Headcanons & MISC:

has a certain French poise about him

prides himself in being a good dad and is kinda smug about it xD

the way Ryoko (Kaari's dragon) talks about Kaari low-key makes him a little emotional

would do ANYTHING to keep his kids safe

EXTREMELY LOW TOLERANCE FOR BORING CONVERSATION

likes to push boundaries and try stuff … ‘What if’ is basically all that’s on his mind

versed in archery, martial arts, sword fighting and parcours

would train his kids in it too (also Kaari‘s kiddos, they‘d probs take turns teaching them lol)

when Kaari and Aldéric went to Hogwarts there was a rumour that they‘d be a couple but they 'just' bros™️ (although they might have made out once … or twice 👀)

has the kindest eyes
