I've decided to expand upon the "love triangle" between Betty, James, and "August", and try and weave every single song from "folklore" and "evermore" into one singular story. I'll try and have the songs work as well as I can from at least one character's point of view, but I'm mostly using them as a guide for the story, rather than a restraint. Plenty new characters join the cast, chronicling a multigenerational sage of an elite Southern family. Taking place between the 1960s and 1990s, this family grapples with identity in a world of changing social norms. Can their love win out over their programed need for societal validation?

Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can. ***** It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living? [[word count: 40,000-50,000 words]]
