Honestly I wish more people would read The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. It's so fucking unhinged and the exact kind of story Tumblr people would like. It has it all: mind wiping attempts, friends-to-enemies-to-almost-lovers-to-allies-to-enemies, homoerotic subtext, obsession, the protagonist and his friend/enemy are foils to each other, kind of dark academia vibes, etc

Why are they Like That? (First Fifteen Lives of Harry August Characters)
Harry: The first man who ever hugged him was also torturing him into insanity, which created a permanent link in his brain between abuse and homoeroticism
Virginia: The monotony of being immortal gets to her every few hundred years, so she periodically decides to let the world burn (at least she's self-aware)
Charity: Mom Friend who found out a boy broke Harry's heart and immediately developed an unquenchable bloodlust about it
Vincent: Wasn't taught the meaning of the word no as a child; spent the next 700 years refusing to learn
Akinleye: Kissed a girl and DIDN'T like it
Jenny: Maxed out Intelligence, used Wisdom as a dump stat
Rory: Saw the horrors of war, decided he deserved anything and everything as compensation
Patrick: Grief-stricken over his dead wife, still has to raise the weirdest child known to man (he tried his best, okay?)

I've said this before but i haye that the term unalive is a quirky self censorship thing from tiktok because unaliving someone is such a cool concept separately. Like I'm going to unmake you.

No one can tell me that Harry August and Vincent Rankis weren’t together, in some sense.
Also if you haven’t read the book you absolutely should it is one of the best I have ever read, and I’ve read a lot.

The beginning of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August goes like this:
My enemy (affectionate)
My friend (derogatory)

If they weren't going to confront their issues and have sex, Harry and Vincent should have at least taken turns murdering each other idk, or whatever the kalachakra equivalent of marriage is

I think that, despite everything, I am smiling.
Smiling at your act. At your charm. At your easy manner and little dirty jokes. Smiling because for ten years we smiled and worked together, and for only a few days did you attempt to destroy my life. Smiling because that's the habit that has been set into my features in your presence, though I loathe you beyond all comprehension. Smiling because, despite the lies, despite knowing all I do about you, I like you, Vincent Rankis. I still like you.
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, by Claire North
