Summary
Not Great. Just Gatsby.
This in-depth exploration of Jay Gatsby's past comes from years of OBSESSIVE research and work, all with my usual desire to completely recontextualize and destroy your understanding of this stupid book. Nick had his say, but there's a lot he doesn't know about Jay. A lot he might have been told but isn't willing to put on paper—or worse, things Jay couldn't bear to tell Nick.
This story will go a chapter per year, covering his time with Dan, his time between Dan and the war, his time with Daisy—and just why she's so impossibly important to him—his years rising up with Wolfshiem, and that one final year before he dies. We'll get to the very heart of the manipulation and desperation that pushed his man until his untimely end. -

Summary
Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby have been together for over a year now and in spite of all the time they get to spend together in Jay's impossibly large mansion, they're still not really out to the public. This is because the public is ravenous for just about any detail they can get concerning the life of one of the few sexually ambiguous billionaires in America. The government would be too if they didn't know any better.
So Jay proposes he could take a day off. It's fall. It's a beautiful day. They've been cooped up for too long. Wouldn't it be nice to go to a pumpkin patch and pretend to be one of the thousands of couples that think fall is THEIR thing and NO ONE ELSE'S?
Like teenagers after curfew, they sneak out of the house to spend a day together. Only Jay hopes it's the beginning of the rest of their lives.Series

Summary
"They would be in love and everything would be just as it was five years ago. Everything would be just as it was. Jay could be the force that would turn back time. He could be. He just had to throw this one more party, and Daisy would come over. Just this one more. Jay was in constant motion, constantly reaching for Daisy, for the green light, for his future. She was the only thing that could stop him.
Until an opposing force showed up. Someone who could stop him, who could turn him away from Daisy.
And his name was Nick Carraway."
Newton has three laws of motion.
Here are three times Jay Gatsby met Nick Carraway. Orbiting closer and closer every time, until finally, finally, they touch.

Summary
This is a story about a rich man in love, a man who has enough secrets to fill a lifetime. The man's name is Gatsby, Jay Gatsby. Gatsby lived on the west egg and was new money, meaning he came upon a large fortune late in his life, that does not mean he was old. In fact, he was a healthy 32 year old, although healthy is a strong word because:
He was a lovesick fool.

Summary
Gatsby was a man under it all. His suits couldn’t protect him from the ruin he threw himself into. He wanted Daisy; to be able to call her, the heaven-sent beauty, his. Yet I couldn’t fault him for it. How could I, when I yearned for him in the same desperate, hopeless way he did for Daisy?

Summary
‘Kenny, that was his name.. my first…Remember you asked? Eleventh grade, we played on the tennis team together…That paperweight that you saw at my apartment…I was with Kenny when he picked it up on our senior trip…Sweet Kenny, he loved beautiful things. The other boys razzed him about it pretty bad, and that is when I started putting distance between us. I guess you could say I deserted him. I went into the army and Kenny signed up too. I think he was trying to stay connected to me somehow…only I ended up in Europe and Kenny was sent to the Pacific. He died on a beach trying to take Luzon…Tim, I want to come up with you. I want to hold you tonight.’
(FT, Episode I, 'You're Wonderful')This fic picks up where Part 1 ended, shortly after Hawk's return to Washington after a stay in New York in the summer of 1960. Skippy is preparing to move from Staten Island to D.C. to be closer to him, but before that is realized Hawk is called back to the Big Apple because of a rather sad event. This prompts Hawk to tell Skippy all about his romance with Kenny Willard, his first lover, and about the person who both amazed and inspired him.

Summary
This story is based on Tim's brief romance with Father Gallagher when he was still a student at a Jesuit university in New York, a few years before he met Hawk in Washington. I believe that this little tale of a lost first love broke down any boundary that might have stopped Hawk from starting a courtship with Tim.
A few lines from the series only, and yet I saw in them a story in its own right:
‘It was my second year at Fordham. I belonged to the YRC…Our faculty advisor was Father Gallagher from the Religion Department, not much older than I was…We both loved the Church, the liturgy, the rituals…One thing led to another, and…when it was over I asked Bob - that was his name - if he thought God would forgive us for what we’d done. He said that God would forgive us…but he could never forgive God for making him what he was.’
(FT, Episode I, 'You're Wonderful')I altered some details so as to leave the series untainted, but I hope you will like it all the same. Comments, kudos, road rage vids and threats on Tumblr (@morulezopelforever) are welcome!
I gift this to JemisonThorsby, who survived the ingestion of the worst of my CMBYN / Charmie fanfics and still came back for seconds. I love you!

Summary
It was in this way that the Buchanans lived out their lives – after that fateful summer, I seldom saw them. Sometimes someone would write about them in the paper, mentioned as honored guests of so and so, or caught together in a picture from some elegant party. Unlike Gatsby, I never immemorialized these mentions or photographs. Their worth in my eyes had forever diminished.
Over the years, after the parties were over and all our knees started to ache in the evenings, Daisy sent me a letter.
