TW: Homophobia, violence, drinking, self-inflicted scars, self-harm
A murderous father, a dead boyfriend, a multi-dimensional world, and the universe's gayest poly relationship. What could possibly go wrong?
Barry Valerian's life hasn't been easy. His life has consisted of arguing parents, a homophobic dad, a dead mum, and a murdered boyfriend. Life wasn't looking great. That is, until he met Benson and Gregory.
Benson Pryde has had a pretty cruisy life. Despite mild homophobia and gender dysphoria at a young age, his life has been pretty good. At the age of fifteen, he met a cute boy, who, two years later, became his boyfriend. Life was great, but it got a whole lot more complicated after he met Barry.
Gregory Xiomara's life has been filled with trials. He lost his dad at five and was bullied in school for being raised by his mum and aunt. When he was fifteen though, he met a really cute boy at a library. Two years later, they begin dating. Life became pretty simple, but that all began to change after he met Barry.

After losing his best friend to an unexplained suicide, Mateu finds himself left to pick up the pieces with his best friend's younger brother, Ferran.

But uncovering the truth requires the uncomfortable task of facing it for what it is. Only a thin line separates devotion from obsession, dedication from delusion, and passion from mania.
Mateu has to choose between coming to terms with the past or be swallowed by it whole.
