    Summary

    She blinks again—once, twice—waiting for him to burst into a sea of light or envelop in darkness the way her dreams always ended with. But he stays, watching over her with so much unabashed hope that it makes her stomach drop.

    The realization comes with the force of a slow, rising wave.

    "You're not real," she says, still uncomprehending, still waiting for the crash.

    Jax laughs, the kind that sounds broken and elated all the while.

    "And you still think this is a dream."

    Or, the one in which she thinks he's a dream, until he isn't.

    Summary

    There were memories that he grasped at, like the silver minnows in the river that slipped between his fingers. The fish didn't all belong to his river, drifting in from other streams and creeks and rivers, all of them converging into one path. Sometimes a fish leapt out of the water and into his outstretched arms, but none of those were his. The fish from his river knew their home and stayed close to the bottom, far enough down that he would have to wade into the river and risk being swept away to have a chance at catching them. They wouldn't break the surface like these fish that weren't his, these minnows he did not recognize.

    ----

    a sort of character study into the mind of jax after he abstracts.
