Summary
There was a lot about his life that Ryan hadn’t been entirely honest about when it came to his parents. One time, when he was eleven, the pocket money he had leftover at the end of the week hadn’t been enough to cover the chocolate bar he wanted, so he’d waited for the cashier to go help a customer, stuffed the chocolate in his pocket, left the small change he did have on the counter and ran.
When he started high school, he’d made friends with Hunter.
An insight into Ryan's POV taking place between the healing ceremony and Ryan leaving Naim in the store.

Summary
“Maybe he just doesn’t want to be found.”
“Or maybe he’s dead, Isla.”
Her voice wavers. “No. I don’t believe that, dad.”
She can’t believe it. She won’t. She would know.
If Ryan is dead, Isla would know. She’s his big sister. She was there when he was born, five years old and beaming down at her little brother, pink and screaming, swathed in a blanket, already knowing she’d do anything for him.

Summary
This was Ryan’s first mistake—letting a curse that was permanently imprinted into his mind slip away from his consciousness when he heard a whisper telling him he was capable of finally living, in love and in freedom. His second mistake was letting a boy fill his mind so incessantly that he no longer had any room for fear. Although fear was the match to gasoline that created this torture, it was how they remembered to survive. Ensuring Naim’s survival was so integral to Ryan’s life that he seemed to forget he was surviving too.
or
Ryan and Naim navigate surviving with the curse, two years post canon.

Summary
"I just..." Ryan shook his head, his voice rising again. "I just want some fucking space."
Naim stopped where he was.
"From this." Ryan gestured helplessly between them. "From everything."
His eyes squeezed shut before he looked back at Naim.
"...From you."
—
Ryan and Naim arrive in Toronto with nothing but the clothes on their backs and barely eight hundred dollars to their names. After everything they’ve survived, none of it seems to matter, as long as they have each other.
But starting over isn’t as simple as they imagined. As the weight of the real world begins to settle in, they’re forced to wonder if love alone is enough.
And worse still… 'It' never stopped following them.
