It encourages us to have faith in ourselves and remain committed to our goals, knowing that our dedication will eventually pay off.

Word Count: 11,976
Rating: T
Warnings: There's a lot of really strongly implied sex/hookups in here, but nothing higher-rated than T actually happens onscreen. Stephen and Jasmine say some bad words, and there's some really vague and unspecific discussion of past mpreg.
Important Onscreen Characters: Michael Wolf, Robert Bren, Stephen Bren, Victoria Ramirez, Jasmine Rai, Theo Huffington, Philip Marsh
Important Offscreen Characters: Bethany Ramirez, Oliver Bren, Archie Daniels, Simon Upsnott
Main Relationship is (the beginnings of) a Michael/Robert/Stephen QPR, and secondarily a Michael/Robert sexual relationship, but also:
Important Onscreen Relationships: Robert/Victoria, Stephen/Victoria, Stephen/Jasmine, Robert/Philip
Important Offscreen Relationships: Theo/Bethany, Oliver/Victoria, Michael/Archie, Theo/Victoria, Simon/Jasmine, Frodo/Sam, Michael/Philip
(There are also numerous unimportant characters and relationships in here, onscreen and offscreen, but I'm not listing them all.)
Summary: Michael, Robert, and Stephen survive college. Nobody survives Victoria Ramirez.
Notes: Sorry that this wound up becoming almost twelve thousand words of relationship drama and aspec nonsense. This is Sculpture with respect to this, which comes basically immediately after the end of this piece, and this, which happens at some point between Michael meeting Victoria and Michael and Robert getting together.

Notes: Gift wrap for Nyoacelya Lyuya. At some point I thought this segment might actually make the story pass the gender-reversed Bechdel test, but then the old man never wound up getting a name, and didn't wind up having a real conversation with Cyaru directly.

Notes: Sorry, this wound up being 8000 words of worldbuilding, haha. I promise that all of this is going to be actually relevant to the story. Eventually. Let me know if there are any tenses in here that sound wrong, I went back and forth a bit on what tenses some parts of this dialog should be in.
