Aetherfield Series 2: IETYW (Boys' Love) (SOON!)
The world surrounding Eason Amell Riasco is marked by an oppressive, unrelenting weight---a tension neither sudden nor obvious but one that has always existed in some form. The memory of childhood transgressions, of stones flung from an attic window as he cycled past, persists like a splinter embedded too deep to remove. What others might dismiss as trivial, time has twisted into something unrecognizable, its edges sharp and unyielding.
Now, proximity imposes itself again. The boy from the attic reemerges, not as a figure from memory but as an unavoidable presence. Their lives, once loosely parallel, converge in a way that feels both inevitable and grotesque. The space between them, once vast, has collapsed, leaving only the suffocating closeness of unresolved history.
There is no discernible rupture, no grand confrontation---only the relentless, creeping sense that this cycle will never break. The past lingers, not as nostalgia or regret, but as a suffocating force, folding in on itself, distorting the present, and eroding the boundaries of identity and time.
