Paul Fisher knows what it's like to be overlooked. Everyone underestimates him, including his parents, and even those who are supposed to protect him. Like a goldfish, he sees more than others give him credit for, and he pays the price for that awareness. As Paul is forced to face the physical abuse by his football star brother Erik, Paul holds on to the one person who never treats him like he's fragile: Joey Costello. What starts as a quiet understanding gradually develops into something deeper. This is a story about the discovery that safety is possible. It's about understanding that the issue was never the goldfish, but the water he was forced to live in. (ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO EDWARD BLOOR, AND ARE FROM THE NOVEL TANGERINE. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO READ TANGERINE BEFORE READING THIS FIC TO AVOID CONFUSION!!)
