    Summary

    Rafael goes to Amaro's when Hurricane Sandy hits.
    And then he gets stuck there for a week with no power and nothing to do but read and play cards.
    That shouldn't have been a problem.

    Summary

    He didn’t know what had come over him.

    But seeing Barba’s purple pocket square just lying there, forgotten by its owner, who had just left the room with Liv to do… something — he hadn’t really been listening — had sparked the overwhelming urge to pocket the stupid thing.

    Now, Nick Amaro was striding out of Hogan Place, a piece of stolen, criminally soft silk burning a hole in his trouser pocket.

    (AKA: Nick has a moment of madness that leads him to make some very interesting, all-consuming discoveries.)

    Summary

    Nick and Rafael treated Sonny like a second-class citizen, and all he wanted was for them to like him.

    The problem? When they were bad, he desired them.

    But when they were good… he never stood a chance.

    Summary

    There was something about this moment - just before the storm, when everything went still - that felt almost holy. Like the world holding its breath.

    Then he heard it.

    Faint, but sharp. A thin, warbling sound carried on the wind.

    He froze.

    Whistle.

    Not birdsong. Not wind. Not anything natural. That was a whistle - one of those emergency ones, the kind you bought in a hiking store and hoped you’d never need to use. Three quick bursts. A pause. Then three long ones. Then three quick ones again. Someone was out there.

    or

    For three years, the silence of his remote mountain cabin was everything Daryl wanted. He had a life built of solitude and self-reliance, a world where the only person he had to answer to was himself, but that silence is shattered by the arrival of Rick Grimes - a city man with a busted ankle and no business being in the wilderness - just as the first big snow of the season hits. Trapped together in the suffocating closeness of the cabin, Daryl tells himself it’s temporary. He tells himself it doesn't mean anything. He tells himself it's just until the snow melts.
