On the Uses of Scholarship and the Necessity of Poetry (a novel) by kbd_cryptid

Summary
Speaking of friends, I have none quite yet.
I am surrounded by young men of excellent breeding and considerable opinion, who dine with me, walk with me, and argue with great enthusiasm over matters neither of us will remember a fortnight hence. They are clever enough, most of them, and earnest in the way one learns quickly at a place like this, but everything feels performed rather than felt. Each seems to carry himself as though already observed and judged, careful to say the right thing, to admire the right authorities, to become precisely the sort of man Oxford intends to produce.
I find myself liking them well enough in the moment, and mistrusting the liking as soon as we part. Perhaps this is the natural caution of new acquaintance, or perhaps it is only that I am difficult to know; I cannot yet tell. Still, you remain my truest, and dearest friend.
Or, Percival Cunningsworth and his correspondences to one Franklin Bennet during his years at Oxford.

Concerning the Sentiments of a Gentleman by kbd_cryptid

Summary
I tell myself that this is admiration, nothing more.
That it is natural to notice such things, to be pleased by talent, by intelligence, by a familiar presence made momentarily unfamiliar by light or laughter. I tell myself that I have always been attentive, that this is merely habit dressed up as meaning.
And yet I find my thoughts returning to you without instruction, rehearsing moments that require no rehearsal, lingering where they ought to pass on.
I ask myself when attention becomes attachment, and when attachment becomes something I am no longer permitted to name.
Or, the poet writes a thousand (and a half) words to say i love you without ever actually saying it.

Summary
Butch turned away, taking a small step back through the doorway before Annabelle's grip tightened. She looked back at them the same way a madman might look at his gun, and Butch swore they saw the cogs in her head click into place.
And they ran. Boots and heels thudded against sodden dirt as they fled the scene, rain be damned.
They'd never felt more at home.
----
Essentially, the story of how Annabelle and Butch met, and then subsequently fell in love, told from Butch's POV. <3

Summary
Titch was fine. Really. His father certainly didn’t need to hire a new farm assistant. So what if he works a lot? Who else would?
All Derek needed was a new beginning. A place to hide away comfortably, and preferably with a steady income. So he applied for a job there was no way he was going to get.
OR
Two broken men trying to make the best of a less than ideal situation.

Summary
‘Derek chuckles, as warm and low as the sun in the sky, and the sound reverberates through Titch's ears like a crack of thunder.’
