    Summary

    "Seems like we both have baggage, something we’re ashamed of. Only, McKinley’s chosen to use mine as leverage in this cruel game he’s playing with me. And that’s why I don’t offer him any aid in getting out of this situation. Right now, that’s the only way I’ll feel better about what’s happened, if I have someone else drowning by me. Not with, just by, because I know I’ll never let myself be with him."

    Summary

    In retaliation for his attempt to convert the General to Mormonism, Kevin Price was brutally assaulted.

    Now, with a newly realized but intense fear of the nightmares that plague him every time he closes his eyes, Kevin is resolved to stay awake through the long Ugandan nights. He steals small naps when he can and even on his best days, the days when he can bring himself to pray at all, he prays only that he’ll eventually find peace. His life becomes marked by a series of midnights, spent in secret with an unlikely companion who, with his own set of demons, hasn’t slept through a night in years.

    Or: A slow burn (a close up look at the 2ish weeks following the attack) in which Kevin heals from a brutal assault physically (while doing a lot of crying and needing a lot of hugs), starts to heal mentally, and falls for the other Mormon boy.

    Intense fear of hospitals

    In weeks to come, Connor would never know how he managed to get changed, scrub most of the make-up off his face and not have a complete breakdown in the cab on the way to the hospital. It was very rare that he thought about anything other than Kevin these days, but he couldn’t help but replay the last week in his head, because it felt like he had been getting better. He hadn’t missed a day of work in weeks, he’d been going to college and therapy and laughing and smiling and he hadn’t had a breakdown during sex for at least a month.

    Just that morning, he’d made Connor breakfast in bed and kissed him that little bit longer before he’d left for work. In hindsight, that had just been his goodbye.

    Summary

    Anne buries it. She doesn’t think of William, except when she’s in Seabrook, except when she has to. And as the years roll on without contact, she’s content to forget.

    But then her daughter shows up for dinner hand in hand with a boy, tall and tanned and fit from hard labor, clothes worn and smile crooked. He looks at Allie like she’s hung the moon and Anne wants to vomit.

    Summary

    Urban legend says when you meet your soulmate, you unlock the potential in your brain for abilities above those of normal humans. These can take any form, which is half the reason only a few people believe in the myth.

    Veronica herself is a skeptic, as much as she thinks there must be some basis for the rumors, whereas JD has seen first hand how these abilities work after years under the oppression of his father's. Neither of them expects their own to trigger when they meet, but it happens anyway, much to JD's dismay.
