Summary
The thing is, Callum’s- well, he’s Callum. The bloke from the bookshop that’s tucked down just away from Albert Square, that you’d only really see if you were looking for it. The man that’s hidden behind a door that was once bright blue, but that’s now faded and chipped with time and the shitty British weather. The clumsy, friendly guy behind the counter with little to say for himself and little to be remembered for. He’s just him, and he’d found some way to be content in that, a quiet little life with nothing much to speak for.
Whereas Ben- in the same way Callum’s just Callum, Ben is Ben Mitchell, the man who’s been in near enough every movie that Callum’s seen showing at the cinema in the city for the past year. He’s something else, something so much bigger than Callum could ever really comprehend.
They don’t work (they shouldn’t work) and they’re nothing alike (maybe they’ve got more in common than Callum ever thought)-
-but maybe that’s why they do.

Summary
Eddie's final thought is of Buck.
Of course, it ends up not being his final thought- not by a long way.
That doesn't change the fact that he'd resigned himself to it, stuck that far underground, and all he could think about was Buck.

Summary
Ben’s always taken some sort of solace in the night. It’s a place to hide away, to feel like there’s no one else in the world and a lot of the time that’s easier than facing up to things. It’s something to belong to, without the pressure of being and it’s a refreshing feeling - one that’s so starkly different from harsh daytime, when people expect and they judge, with harsh eyes and sharp words. There’s expectation in daylight, but there’s nothing like that in moonlight. It’s a blank canvas, and it’s a gateway to something bigger.

Summary
Shane Hollander only likes to eat a handful of foods. He only thinks about hockey. He only feels comfortable around about five total people. He hates crowds and loud noises and bright lights and shoes that aren’t sneakers or skates.
Ilya thinks Shane is completely perfect the way he is. He wishes things were not so hard for his husband, but is always happy to help Shane navigate a world that isn’t built for brains like his.
Yuna and David Hollander love their son more than anything. They don't want any limits placed on his life, or any labels that would hold him back. He can thrive without a diagnosis being put on him.
Or: Everyone knows Shane Hollander is autistic. Except for Shane.

Summary
A nearly cheshire-like grin spread across Ilya's face. "Shane?" he asked coyly while flipping around the phone, "What is this?"
It took only one look at his boyfriend to know that he was not equally amused.
or: Shane starts using an audio erotica app. Ilya catches him. It does not go over well.
