They Can't Take That Away From Me

by Yamanashi Moe

Jake can't remember where he got this CD and it's driving him absolutely crazy. A burnt CD, of course, like most of his music collection, but he doesn't recognize the brand of CD-R. It isn't even really labeled; he just wrote 'Jazz Music' all in caps around the middle at some point.

He's always been kind of a forgetful guy. God knows there are plenty of things about his university life he doesn't remember at all. But this one thing has gotten under his skin for reasons he can't explain. Why is it in his apartment? Who gave it to him?

An interesting story based on 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' a film I've not seen.

The concept and bringing the religious/homophobic debate into it was interesting but once the reveal started things moved to fast; it was all outburst of emotion then all fixed without time to catch breath. Might work better for people familiar with the film.

One of my favorite stories from S2B2. Haunting, a little sad a little scary, but with an ending that makes it all worth while.

Wonderful short story that's a take on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, with an m/m and creepy twist.

like 'eternal sunshine of the spotless mind' but short, gay & with a happier ending (in the movie i'm never sure all the issues won't just build up again). has a nice sense of atmosphere.
