If he can be a character, maybe he won't have to remember himself. A gay role can't be any different than playing a straight one, can it?

They were only kids when they met for the first time. Leo Mancini was the son of a judge. Roman Cipriani the son of a criminal. So different, yet as they shared stolen kisses and secret moments, they fell in love.

C'è chi dice che il destino disegni le nostre vite e noi non possiamo far altro che subire. Io ho sempre creduto, invece, che ognuno di noi è il "carnefice" di sé stesso. Siamo noi, con le scelte che compiamo, a pilotare la nostra vita... Infatti spesso mi sono chiesto: "Avrò fatto la scelta giusta?" Mario ci racconta una parte dolorosa della sua vita. Anni che lo hanno forgiato e segnato in positivo, ma soprattutto con avvenimenti negativi.

Mario è un ragazzo con i suoi pregi, i suoi difetti, i suoi sogni, vive un rapporto difficile con il padre ed è alla ricerca dell'amore. Come tutti i ragazzi della sua età. Ciò che lo differenzia dagli altri è l'innato altruismo che spesso gli causa problemi. Come quel giorno a Napoli, quando aiuta Harby, agente segreto statunitense, il quale lo coinvolge in una rischiosissima missione, a seguito della quale, braccato dalla camorra che lo vuole morto, è costretto a scappare dalla sua vita tranquilla.

La fuga attraverso l'Italia fascista che si intreccia con il destino delle persone che incontrano.

"Joe si guardò allo specchio. La mano di Fred intorno al suo cazzo gli donava. Era bello e davvero sexy. Per un istante si chiese quanto sarebbe stato sexy avere le labbra di Fred intorno, invece della mano. Non dovette domandarselo a lungo, perché Fred chinò la testa e iniziò a leccargli la cappella". Joe e Fred sono andati in auto da Los Angeles a Las Vegas e ora stanno tornando indietro attraverso il deserto. Joe maledice Fred per avere avuto quell'idea, visto che tocca a lui guidare mentre il suo amante se la dorme beatamente.

All his life, Sir Cameron has stayed as far away from danger as possible. He is quite frankly too handsome to die a pointless death in battle.

"Con la tua mano sulla schiena, deviamo dal percorso segnalato, lasciamo il gruppo e ci inoltriamo tra le mensole rotte.

In coda per la casa dei fantasmi, Stella la vede. È l'unica persona non travestita, in camicia, gilet e rossetto rosso scuro. E una cravatta. Stella si sente attratta, le cose che potrebbe fare con quella cravatta.

«Quest’estate, non sapendo cosa fare, ho formato un comitato per il fiume Lambro sito Unesco. Subito ho avuto cinque adesioni.» È solo l’inizio di questa storia, un atto dovuto per rimediare a una clamorosa ingiustizia. Non è possibile infatti che Milano sia sede di un unico sito, quando per trovarne a decine basta un giro sul Lambro: dalla baia dei lavandini – il primo lavandino vecchio vi fu gettato da Giovanni il Pirla – alle colonie di mangiatori di girini, fino alle lettere d’amore infilate nelle bottiglie vuote del Vernel.

I don’t want Jason Vega. Not at all. It’s the worst idea ever. Ah, hell... Jason is handsome. Smart. Dangerous. Hot.
