Summary
"First, there were three of them, though it has been hard to distinguish between where one started and the other began, their forms melting and reshaping by the will of some being he had no name for. If he could laugh in his precarious state, he would do just that. What a ridiculous thought, a name. Why would he need a name for the thing that molted them to its heart's desire when he didn’t even have a name for the two that were mixed into the very fabric of his self. When he hardly had the luxury of being certain of his own."

Summary
“I’m gonna go take a breather outside.”
“To fight with Gwen for the last time this year, you mean?” Teddy's face didn't change as he said it, staying as relaxed and comfortable as she was used to seeing it. Yet there was a certain glint in his eyes Alice couldn't quite place. If she didn't know better, she'd say he knew something she didn't and was choosing not to tell her. A dick move, if he did have anything to tell her that is.

Summary
"Instinctively, before he could think it through, he tried to reach him with his mind, forgetting for a brief moment whatever promise he gave him before, needing to hear the constant whirling of his mind. Before Martin took his word not to look close into him, Jon saw everything his lover was in a bright light, his thoughts, his very being right there, open to him. Put on canvas in big, careless strokes, like an artist was in a rush to put them out there. Could almost press his fingers into them, trace the lines of each thought, pulsing and changing by second, sometimes taking turns so bizarre it caught him by surprise. Martin has always been so prone to overthinking."

Summary
"When the world ended Bianca was on a tiny balcony of the apartment she was sharing with her parents and a grandmother, where she just escaped to have a smoke. The two of them, her grandma and her, were arguing the whole morning, as is usual for them. What was that about this time? Did she wear her headphones when cooking? Maybe. That doesn’t seem as important as the simple fact they were screaming at each other."

Summary
"When you’re a child your memory doesn’t have that consistency that characterizes the adult’s mind, so every time you try to go back to your childhood, there are only tiniest fragments that cannot be put in a clear chain of events. Most of my fragments have something to do with my grandfather. I was his favorite, you see. That’s not up for a debate, my entire family knows that. There’s really no competition. I know that’s not a thing to be smug about but my grandpa had grandsons. Plenty of those. And I still outran every single one of these motherfuckers."

Summary
"I just wish I knew why I’m writing this in the first place. Why I’m scribbling these words into paper, with my eyes wet and blurry and fingers shaking so hard the words are almost illegible. I’m not sad. I don’t feel sad. Why would I be, when I’m finally content? When for once in my life I belong?"

Summary
"On the last visit of that sort they found kittens, solely by the sound of their meowing. They were lying on an old jacket, on the bottom of the two concrete rings placed on one another, with a tiny ladder inside of it. To an adult eye it would have been obvious someone put them there on purpose, was feeding them too but children are another matter."

Summary
“That started on Thursday but I can be wrong. I didn’t really mark days as they passed, was too busy doing nothing of much importance you see. The usual. A TV show here, a book there. Normal stuff. Helped with post exam exhaustion. It caught me by surprise, how suddenly it all started, no warning beforehand. It just... Was there one day.
The sensation.”

Summary
By all accounts, Vander should have stopped himself from saying anything with an ease that an alpha in his prime was bound to have when dealing with an omega over thirty, mateless and pupless, clearly undesirable by anyone of his kind. The same way as if said omega had a dark mark on him, shooing everyone away like deeply sick and contagious. He should have had no trouble walking away from him.

Summary
LIMBIC SYSTEM – The sensation rises from deep within you, spreading like a rash all over the chunk of meat you like to call a *body*... Pierces your heart with its claws, squeezing it tight.

LIMBIC SYSTEM – Oh, but it’s worse, worse than you can possibly imagine. It starts with a heart, it always starts with a heart.
