Everwood
Another Life
Colin has another life. Another life that’s not full of girls and homecoming courts and basketball games he can’t participate in. In this other place the car doors are always unlocked, and even when he bashes in the window, bare-handed, Colin doesn't feel any pain. Colin isn’t the most popular guy in school; as a matter of fact most people don't even know his name.
It’s nice.
Colin Hart is just boy in his teacher’s grade book, and his friends can all be counted on one hand, his right hand. A right hand that works. In this other life Colin doesn’t live in Everwood, Colorado, he lives in New York or California. He goes surfing after school, and sometimes he stops by the local comic book shop where he's just another geek.
Yeah, that’s right.
In this other life Colin is a huge comic book geek, and he’s got first editions all over his walls. He likes Batman the best because the Dark Knight is an orphan, and more than anything right now, Colin wishes he belonged to someone else.
Colin’s parents do nothing but bring him down.
They don’t understand that they’re pushing too hard. They don’t understand that he’s not the little boy they raised. All he remembers are trashchutes, and he's Colin Aaron Hart in name only. But maybe, in this other life, he goes by something else too. Colin doesn’t even think of himself as a Colin. He’s more of a Jesse or a Jake.
And in this other life, he’s a good student who can remember the definition of gerrymandering - which has something to do with unfair divison of districts. His favorite class is Science because he dreams of being a doctor, and he studies hard, sometimes too much. In one class he’s so far ahead that he spends all his time doing nothing at all. Sometimes there are nights that he falls asleep with his head in his books, because he’s just that smart and he wants to know it all.
In this other life Colin can remember enough to know it all.
In this amazing place that Colin has yet to find, he doesn’t know guys named Bright. Point in fact, he’s never had a letterman jacket, and his idea of sport is bike riding at night. He doesn’t know girls named Amy who pull on him as though he owes them something. Actually he doesn’t like girls at all.
Colin doesn’t know much, but he knows that for certain.
He doesn’t have ideas of good and bad or right and wrong. He doesn’t know that homosexuality is supposedly a bad thing. See, in this other life, Colin is gay and that’s all right too.
He has a boyfriend, and his name is Ephram Brown. He has brilliant greenish-gray eyes and hair he likes to dye strange colors. Ephram wears sweatshirts from places Colin’s never gone, but Ephram promises that they’ll go together sometime. And the best thing about this other life is that Ephram likes Colin just the way he is, and he doesn’t expect him to be anybody he’s not.
Really, it’s a good life all in all.

I watched Everwood for the first and kept holding my breath every time Colin and Ephram were alone, because in any other show the kiss would have been next. Well, if I were the one writing the script, anyway.
*happy sigh* Ah, the WB and their obviously slashy shows. Gotta love it...

I know, they were sucking face off camera. I'm just waiting because come *on* somebody has to be gay. Somebody, please! I mean Bright is the obvious candidate, but still. Hmmm. Maybe he's freaked because he already came out to Colin and now since Colin has no memory... That would sucketh muchly.
Damn, I need Everwood icons.

Talk about your horrible luck. That has to be the ultimate in 'Situations that Suck'.
And, yes, Everwood icons are definitely needed.

It's as simple as insanity, really. It's a lot of voices at one time, all wanting to be heard, but I am glad if you enjoy it. :)

That is the best line. wow.
Can't you see Ephram have similar thoughts about Colin? The perfect world where he doesn't have to think about Amy's presence, just waiting to screw up and running to Ephram, because hes been there everytime before.

Amy is a user, but she's a popular one so most people pretend not to notice. High school is full of them. Ephram though, Ephram's an entity unto himself.

::heart does strange flutter:: Homicide. I miss Homicide, that was *real* television. I can't even find blood repeats anymore.

I was going to tape last night and go to sleep, but the first five minutes just sucked me in like the black hole. And Colin was so cute with the crushing on Ephram. He's so smitten. ::dies laughing:: Straight what?

Another Life and Feedback
(Anonymous) 2003-11-24 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)>>> Colin doesn't feel any pain. Colin isn’t the most popular guy in school; as a matter of fact most people don't even know his name.
It’s nice.
That would be touching, if it weren’t so sweet. That would be sweet, if it weren’t so painful. It is true, despite all the lies.
>>>Colin’s parents do nothing but bring him down
For the first time in my memory, that is a line that’s perfectly appropriate, and absolutely right.
>>>And in this other life, he’s a good student who can remember the definition of gerrymandering - which has something to do with unfair divison of districts.
Funny that coma boy knows what others will not.
>>>Point in fact, he’s never had a letterman jacket, and his idea of sport is bike riding at night.
That line is perfect. Not just the words you used, but the image you evoked.
>>>He doesn’t know that homosexuality is supposedly a bad thing. See, in this other life, Colin is gay and that’s all right too.
And that’s what gets to the crux of all that is, and is Colin.
>>>He has brilliant greenish-gray eyes and hair he likes to dye strange colors.
I tear up in response to that line. Brilliant greenish-gray. Three words and a hyphen, and you said it all.
>>>Ephram wears sweatshirts from places Colin’s never gone, but Ephram promises that they’ll go together sometime.
And Ephram loves who he is, not who he was.
Loved this story. Could you tell?
