    Summary

    '"Okay,” he said out loud, because hearing his own voice helped. 'Okay. That’s… fine.'
    It wasn’t fine. He knew it wasn’t. But the words did the thing words sometimes do: they built a bridge across panic.
    He needed to get to the ED.
    He needed to get to Jack."

    Robby injured himself on the way to work.

    Summary

    "I know this isn't real," he whispered, turning to press his forehead against Ben's neck. His voice was thick with heartbreak and desperate longing. "You're not really here. This is all in my head."

    Or - even after escaping, Tom can't be sure that being reunited with his sons isn't just another hopeful dream.

    Summary

    “Oh, come on!” The outraged shout springs from right behind him, and he distantly recognizes it as the voice of Lyle, immediately followed by Crazy Lee’s, “He’s had enough!”

    Pope swallows. It’s not his fault that Tom Mason is a fool. It’s not his fault that the man’s misguided sense of honor most often takes the form of brazen stupidity. He didn’t ask Mason to take this for him. It’s his own fault. If he had just kept his mouth shut like the rest of them, they’d all be happily going to bed without their collective supper right now.

    Summary

    If there is any principle Fanny believes in with all her heart, it is that her brilliant, bossy big sister is meant to be here, with her, on this Earth, for as long as possible.

    In which Lady Fanny Fox is going to rescue Dr. Dawkins and save her sister if it's the last thing she does. If Dr. Rainsford Sneed wants to come along for the ride (begrudgingly, complaining the whole time), that's his problem.

    Summary

    At some point during their search of the party they stumble upon a girl whose shirt shifted and changed, the embroidered flower pattern blooming and wilting in a continuous loop. They’re both slightly mesmerized. Newt leans over, lips so close that they brush against the shell of his ear. “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore Tommy.” A sunflower petal drifted down the girl’s arm.

    “It’s ‘feeling’.” Thomas rasps out, heart jackhammering, watching the living shirt grow and decay all over again.

    Newt quirks his scarred eyebrow indulgently. “What?”

    Thomas turns, their faces inches apart and trying to keep his voice even. “It’s ‘feeling’. The line. People always say it wrong. It’s ‘Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.’ People always…they always get that one wrong.”

    Newt’s playful smile shifts into something teasing and, yes, dangerous. Maybe just a bit beautiful as well.

    (Or; In between glowing screens with promises about his future and cracked pavement that spilled his memories, for one summer, Thomas floats.)
