When Gilbert Beilschmidt finds himself threatened with expulsion for his less-than-satisfactory grades and inability to control his temper, he reluctantly accepts the offer of being tutored and joining the cursed Oyster Club- a club ridden with the school's motley crew of delinquents and run by happy-go-lucky art teacher Ms. Braginski. Needless to say, Gilbert isn't terribly enthusiastic about his future experience, but his outlook changes when he crosses paths with childhood friend Elizaveta Héderváry.

No this is not my story, it belongs to standbyme and gabriel. What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea.
