Summary
Kirsty Young’s castaway this week is an artist, illustrator, and author. Virginia Dickinson’s work is defined by its use of bold, bright colours, and she is one of only three illustrators ever to be awarded both The Kate Greenaway Medal and a Caldecott Honour. She is perhaps best known for her first book, Charlie’s Bear, a picture book about a young boy’s adventures with his beloved teddy bear, for which she was first awarded the Greenaway Medal. Charlie’s Bear has become a national treasure, adapted to stage and television. She has been tipped to be a future Children's Laureate, and was named British Children's Author of the Year in 1994.
In conversation with Kirsty Young, she discusses her childhood in America and post-war England, the beginnings of her career and family life, and her eight musical selections.

Summary
We didn't even kiss
They hadn’t kissed. Shane had been lying there, right next to him, and Ilya hadn’t kissed him. Hadn’t leaned over a foot of space when he’d spent the last year just wanting to be in the same room as Shane Hollander.
Fuck.

OR: Shane sends the text. Ilya chases after him.Series

Summary
Patrick doesn’t respond correctly - because Patrick has never once responded correctly to David being horrible. He just takes another sip of tea, and fucking smiles again.
“What?” David snaps.
“Nothing, I just-”
He stops, mouth still open, sound still somewhere in his throat. Then he laughs again. It’s quieter this time, more to himself, like he’s surprised himself with it. It’s infuriating, and it’s adorable, and David doesn’t get it.Or, five times Patrick almost said "I love you", and one time David said it first.

Summary
“Do you wear a lot of blue?” she asks. Cindy, her name tag says.
She hands Patrick a pair of dark gray wire-frame glasses which he slides on until they hook behind his ears. And it’s not like—well everyone who knows him knows he likes blue. But he feels a little unsettled that this stranger picks up on it, like at she can see his whole life contained within the frames around his eyes.
“Uh, yeah. I guess so,” Patrick says, taking them off again. This pair, like all the others she has given him, is exactly right and completely wrong.
Or, Patrick gets glasses and thinks about identity. David helps.

Summary
Louis needs another smoke. He needs another fucking drink. He's too drunk and too sober all at the same time. His hands are shaking. He digs his nails into his thigh, trying to breathe.
Nick is hurt. He's hurt, and in a coma, and there's a chance he could never wake up, and Louis is halfway across the world.
The one where Louis and Nick are in a secret relationship, Nick loses his memories, and Louis tries to not fall apart.
