    Summary

    "We were back at the house for the winter holidays. I hadn’t been there since we left in early September to go back to Milan. He came. He left. Nothing else had changed."

    It's the winter of 1983 and Elio receives a call. It's the first he's heard from Oliver in four months.
    A continuation -- starting off where the movie ends, but going in a vastly different direction.

    Summary

    Here we go!

    Elio and Oliver go back to Crema in the summer of 1987.
    There will be happiness, but as usual with these two, there will be also a bit of angst.

    We start with a short trip down memory lane, since this is all from Oliver's POV and we need to know what he was thinking/feeling back in 1983.

    Enjoy

    Summary

    “So. Who is this guy?”

    Oliver’s voice said, almost abruptly; sounded tinny though the telephone receiver.

    “Just someone I know.”

     

    A fix-it story, because while I loved the book and I loved the film even more, I want them to be happy.
