But the thing I will never admit to anyone who's met me is how desperately I want to be loved, I don't think I could say it. How I want someone to hold my wrists and kiss my palms and smile at me, and want me, I want to be wanted and I don't know how long poetry or songs will substitute for being wanted.
Canon is whatever the writers make it so. If they wanted it, we could have Jon and Dami only being one month apart in age or something. But they don't, so there you go.
So, umm... So, I’m just getting into this fandom, and I’m dying to know what is going on here? Is either Nike or Livius having a nightmare? Is this canon? What chapter is it? What happened after? I NEED ANSWERS, PLEASE!
Those are perfectly good points but, please, also consider THIS:
Booker: *keeps licking the tips of his fingers so he can turn the pages of the old novel he's reading*
Nicky:...
Joe: Hayati, what are you looking at?
Nicky:*strangled noises*
Joe:*notices how Booker's piercing sticks to the pad of his when he wets it and glistens with saliva*
Joe:*wonders how that little ball would feel inside if Booker rimmed him*
I just had a thought and I need to share it with someone and you’re the only one I “know” in the TOG fandom so I hope that’s ok 😊
Imagine Booker with a tongue piercing
My new coworker looks a bit like Booker (well, not really.. but he has that scruffy look..), and I saw a glimpse of silver in his mouth today. Now, the only thing I can think about is Booker with his tongue pierced.
I don’t think I’ll get much work done today 😅
Well. That’s certainly a thought 😆 Booker with a tongue piercing, huh?
I can certainly see him unconsciously pursing his lips just to ‘play’ with his piercing; how he would rub the metal over his teeth in thought, how he would suck in his teeth just to feel the pressure. Oh! Most definitely can 1000% see Booker darting his tongue out to lick at a melting ice-lolly. Can also see him laughing, lips parted with his tongue out as he tries to catch a snowfall in his mouth.
people saying booker is coded as straight when like. there’s literally 0 mention of a wife only his kids… like babes just say you hate him and stop reaching ksadbhjabjhsabhjsabjshbja he’s literally no more coded as straight as nile is, you clowns
people on this website be like “it’s actually school’s fault that i don’t know how to read because i wanted to write my essay on the divergent trilogy and that BITCH mrs. clarkson made us study 1984 instead. anyway here’s a 10 tweet thread of easily disproven misinformation about a 3 year old news story and btw, who is toni morrison?”

Series: Part 2 of
That Original Lifeline
Summary:
Booker startles awake from the brief grasp sleep had of him and looks at the bag, his bag, at his feet. Exhausted panic floods through his veins as he thinks, this is where it ends. But Joe’s dark eyes are as soft and gentle as ever when Booker looks up to meet them. “Come on,” Joe says, holding out a hand. “We need to go.”
His brow furrows. “What?” Booker slurs, fatigue making his syllables bleed into one another. “Where are we going?”
“Home,” Joe says, plain as anything as he nudges the bag with his toes.
On the way back to Italy, Booker, Joe, and Nicky struggle to come to terms with their past, their present, and their future. There’s nothing certain except for one thing—each of them are holding onto more secrets than they want to admit.
