Why this must be read: This is a fun series that starts pre-relationship and builds up to the relationship. Each part alternates between George and Mitchell as the narrator. The focus of each part is on one of the five senses and it's effect on the narrator. It's a fun series with a lot of humor and a bit of angst.



Everything is always just that little bit tauter the night before the full moon, and by unspoken agreement they never do anything particularly interesting, or social...not that they're social, at all really.

So they're on the sofa, sharing the space and occasionally crisps and watching David Attenborough attempt to increase the nations love of lizards.

George is only half concentrating, this close to the full moon his attention is falling from one distraction to another, tiny sounds, smells, the way his sleeves irritate his wrists. But he's watching the television anyway, because watching the television is what you're supposed to do, it's normal, and he can do that. Even if his skin and his nose and his ears are determined to drive him mad by pointing out every little thing...and there are a lot of little things.

Mitchell rolls his head across the back of the sofa, and the movement is slow and lazy but drags George's attention away from the screen nonetheless, distracted in a way which has nothing to do with normal.

It's always worse this close, always worse right near the edge, right on the brink where smells are almost tangible. Where, if George just inhales deeply enough, he'll be able to know things he'd never find out any other way. Be able to know things other people couldn't.
