THE SECRET HISTORY HEADCANNONS
⁃ Everyone in the class loved Camilla romantically at some point, Francis often used her as a way of denying his sexuality.
⁃ Henry’s roses bloomed every year after his death, despite not being taken care of very well, on the rare occasion Richard visited Vermont, specifically Hampden he looked at the roses and found peace in the fact that nature fulfilled Henry’s wish of immortality.
⁃ Julian died not long after Henry did, the shock and disparity of the situation led him to madness and heartbreak only cured by death.
⁃ By the time Bunny was found he should’ve been already rotting, his skin grey and shrivelled. Due to the weather his body had been preserved. I can’t remember whether it states what funeral type he had in the book but since his parents were rich it was probably open casket; The sight of bunny’s body in death disturbed the class deeply, haunting them and fearing that somehow, someday he might come back, they all had mild paranoia for weeks, Henry more so than the others.
⁃ Camilla adored ‘the picture of Dorian Grey’ she read it many times, she could practically recite the first few chapters by the time she was 19, yet after Henry’s death she couldn’t read it without thinking about the at the time insignificant link he made between beauty and terror, she tried many times to read it but couldn’t without feeling physically ill.
⁃ Camilla never fell in love again the same way, she picked her men carefully, based on their similarities to Henry, although it’s mentioned in the book and is therefore cannon; she never did fall in love again, she found it, but never accepted it.

What once was.
the secret history fanfic || masterpost
"My mother and Henry's used to be friends and they would always take us to Pennsylvania in the summer, back when we were kids. We were the best of friends, inseparable... Henry was a chubby but tall boy, three years older than me. I was a frail but loud girl, very outgoing. We used to play at a creek, where my father had installed us a swing. One day Henry got in a terrible car crash and... he almost died. I went back to Greece, completely losing touch with him. Nothing could prepare me for the fact that I was to meet him again at college."
Warnings; possibility of smut, nsfw content, mentions of childhood trauma, triggering themes in general, mentions of abandonment, physical injuries, mental health issues, depression, self harm, drug abuse, smoking, homophobic people from the 80's, some very cute moments that might be out of character for the gang, stereotypes that I don't resign with but are part of the plot, dark themes that have to do with death, very descriptive, pov changes, paganism, it's the secret history so you know what to expect...

Greek Class Post-Murder (of Bunny) Headcannon.
-Henry never wore those shoes again. They were in his closet the day he died.
-Henry showered for at least an hour, water hot enough to burn. Camilla took a bath in near boiling water and her skin was raw at the end.
-Camilla kept calling Henry all that night to make sure he was okay.
-Charles took some of the tulips they repotted to Bunny’s family.
-Francis wasn’t just drunk when he went to see Richard. He loved Richard and needed to know he was safe and alive. (Diehard Richard X Francis shipper here)
-Francis was so fixated on getting Richard in bed that night so that he could feel him and know he was alive and real.
-Henry worried that Bunny would be too cold out there alone. He almost went to go and cover his body, but he knew he’d be caught if he did.
