    Summary

    Soulmarks determine your soulmate—whoever shares your mark is the person you’re meant to be with for the rest of your life. Alex’s nails dig into the picture as he remembers the words from all those years ago, the pamphlet he’s read so often it’s etched into his mind. He turns his wrist and places his own mark next to the boy’s.

    The scale mocks him in its asymmetry. Regardless of Alex’s wishes, it didn’t morph into the stages of the moon in the last five minutes.

    Alex stares at the boy a few seconds longer, the bright blue eyes and sandy blonde strands so beautiful he inadvertently likens it to sunshine. His lips are curled into a secret smile and just for a moment, Alex dreams that the smile is for him, reaching across the ocean, warming the secret parts of his heart he’ll never admit he has. He allows himself another moment with the boy before he moves away, leaving the magazine on his sister’s desk.

    Princes don’t fall in love with boys anyway.

    Or, 5 times Alex and Henry think they don't belong together, and one time they do.

    Summary

    ******
    “So, why did you do it?” Simon asks, curiously.

    Wille doesn’t need the other to specify, he knows exactly what Simon is referring to. He thinks for a few seconds before answering, “We were never going to be free if I didn’t. My denial of being in the video would always hang over us and you would probably come to resent me for it. It wouldn’t have been fair to either of us—but especially you—to be a secret. I couldn’t not do it. Not again.”

    ~~~

    Or: Set right after the end of S2, Simon and Wilhelm face the aftermath of the speech. Overthinking, attempted humor, holding hands, lots of angst, and a romcom ending

    Summary

    A thorough guide to beta reading for both authors and beta readers. Neither exhaustive nor definitive, but hopefully a good starting point that covers the basics and explains how to get the most out of an author-beta reader relationship.
