Notes: TPWE is the story of Tim Steele, geeky teenager and his former best friend super-popular Noel Henderson, who's been his enemy since an unnamed incident when they where ten. It's also the story of their parents and specially their mothers, best-friends and closer than sisters, who brought them together once and insist on doing the same again, even if Tim and Noel hate each others guts.
"The Problem with Elephants" (
and it took me literally ages to discover that "elephants" are "lies or secrets that occupy lots space in a room while they remain unnamed") is such a perfect story that I decided to
translate it into Spanish. It's also, of course, slashy, although not too highly rated.
