Fics like As Good a Life

More than a year has passed since Thomas’s disastrous “treatment,” yet he still feels nothing but ash at the sight of a handsome bloke smiling in his direction, or the hazy memory of an especially satisfactory lay. Some nights, he wonders if it might be different with a flesh-and-blood man in his arms. It doesn’t seem fair, though, to flirt and tease a fellow into risking prison for what might well be a disappointing showing. Carrying on amidst a throng of husbands, wives, children—it will have to be enough. He will experience love secondhand the way a cinemagoer bathes in the glow of a silver screen, and he will be content. So, no, he won't be happy, exactly. But halfway to it is nothing to sniff at. What if Choose Your Own Path left scars on Thomas beyond the physical? What if Jimmy faced his own demons in their time apart? What if they found peace together, anyway?
