Brief summary: This is a long and very angsty story focusing on Lance, his relationships with the other guys, his depression and attempted suicide, and the beginning of his way to healing.
"I loved you when we were dating. From about a month in. Or I'd never have stayed with you for two years and it wouldn't have taken me three years to get over you." Lance blinks sleepily. Heavy emotion makes him tired. "I'm not going to kill myself again. Fucked up my chance. And now it just hurts more, because now I hurt all of you again."
Chris just shakes his head. "You stupid fuck. I loved you. If you'd said one word to make me think you might love me, I'd've -" he catches the look on Joey's face. "Um."
"We do not call the ones we love stupid fucks," Joey says in a tightly clenched voice.
"It's the truth, asswipe."
"Well, if you loved him so fucking much -" and it kinda hurts that Joey never got to know this, that he'd thought Chris was just carrying a torch for Lance, that he hadn't known that Chris was seriously wounded by their time together, "why the hell didn't you tell him something?"
"S'all right. I don't mind. I fucked up with Justin 'cause I said too much and with Chris 'cause I said too little. And with you, Joe, 'cause I didn't fight and with Nick 'cause I fought too much. And with C 'cause I was scared. And Charity 'cause I didn't love her. But I really loved all of you so much. I just kept waiting."
Joey gives Lance a dismayed look. Lance'd thought about him like that?
Chris, however, continues undeterred. "So you love me, and you're telling me now and the point is, that the feeling's mutual and we can start over, this time without all the pretending and the hiding and stuff."
"There's nothing left of me, Chris."
Because it's all been subtracted, Chris remembers. "Then we'll give you back the parts of yourself that you lost in us."
Lance closes his eyes. "How is it that sometimes you're so clueless it's like running into a wall, and sometimes you know just what I need to hear?" He just breathes for a moment. "What I'm saying is that you shouldn't invest your time and energy in me, let alone your affection. I don't want you to. I'll only end up hurting you again. I'm not good at relationships."

Length: medium
Brief summary: I love this story about how Chris one day wakes up as a cat and what happens to him before he finally turns back into a human again. It's warm and happy and funny.
Several hours later, Chris lounged in the window, sunning himself with a self-satisfied look. This cat stuff was great! He'd managed to snare a really stupid bird and kill it, which was lots and lots of fun until it got to the part where it was all dead and unmoving. The cat part of him didn't care one way or another about it anymore at that point. The human part was torn between 'Aren't I supposed to eat that?' and 'Whoa, I just killed a fucking bird'.
Eventually, he'd dragged it back into the house and left it on the floor for later and then, drawn by the irresistible power of the Great God of the Sun, had jumped up on the window ledge. Life had been good ever since.
It felt like years since anything had been this good. His body glowed with heat and relaxation. Chris yawned again and set his head back down on his paws. He didn't know when or how he was supposed to get back to being a human, but it wasn't so bad being a cat, not really. This part sure as hell beat being himself lately. Being alone. Being lonely. Being bored.
He could sleep all day...
