    Summary

    Kris can't bear to speculate on why Susie and Noelle were willing to have them along on their first date. Whether it's pity, or something else.
    The truth is, though, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what Kris wants. It doesn't matter whether something hurts them.
    Soon, they won't want anything, and nothing will be able to hurt them.
    Until then, they just have to make sure they don't leave a mess behind for the people they care about.

    Jamie has this dream, sometimes. It starts, and he can’t breathe, and he can’t wake up.

    It’s like: He’s in a car, and he’s driving real fucking fast, and for some reason it’s dark out and he can’t see for shit but he’s still not slowing down.

    It’s like: He doesn’t want to slow down.

    It’s like: He’s in a car, and he’s driving real fucking fast, and for some reason it’s dark out and he can’t see for shit but he’s still not slowing down and there’s a cliff rising in front of him, closer and closer and closer, and he might not be able to see for shit but for some reason he can see that cliff and the empty abyss beyond it.

    It’s like: He knows the cliff is coming and he doesn’t want to slow down.

    Jamie has this dream, sometimes. It ends, and he wakes up, and he still can’t breathe.

She wants Diya to beg for her to stay, because it’s the only way she will be sure that Diya still wants her. But the rest of her knows she could never do it. She could never stay. Not for Diya, not for anything. She must continue with her life even if Diya can’t. Perhaps, because Diya can’t. ☆

    Sometimes, Diya says weird things. Not like, normal Diya weird. Like, weird weird. Noelle is mostly used to it, because being Diya’s best friend requires a little bit of getting used to things. But sometimes, the quiet girl truly catches her off guard.

    “How annoying would I have to be for you to murder me and bury me in a swamp?”

    Or, Catti tries empathizing with the dark side.

    ☆ Instead of answering, Min carefully pulls Noelle’s hair free of the elastic holding it together, it all falling in loose waves to frame her face and fall past her shoulders down her back. The light from her computer screen makes her eyes sparkle, and she’s blushing, but only a little bit.

    Summary

    There’s someone staring at Avery from across the dining commons.

    The person is wearing a hoodie, mask, and sunglasses, completely obscuring their face. It should be impossible to tell which direction they’re looking in, yet Avery can feel their gaze on himself like the first prickle of sensation on a numb limb.

    Your online friend who you thought died a few months ago shows up at your university with an eldritch god stuck inside his head. Apparently, he’s on the run from the government, you’re their next target, and he wants you to join him. What do you say?

    If you’re Avery, the answer is simple.

    ☆ One of her legs is – not jittering, but thoughtfully contemplating the idea of jittering. Gideon’s fists are also studiously considering throttling Harrowhark until she loses every bit of breath in her body; tragically, Harrowhark loves her. Tragically, Harrowhark has loved her for a very long time. ☆

    Summary

    If Akarsha has a soulmate, she vehemently believes that they are either A: Dead, or B: that they will hate her. She doesn’t blame them, she’d be mad if she had a soulmate like her too. Her mother and father were soulmates, and they preached the benefits like no one else, but the thought of someone being forced into loving her didn’t sit right with Akarsha.

    Noelle thinks soulmates are bullshit, pardon her french. It didn't make sense for them to be real, not only logically, but scientifically either. Everything in the world was in a delicate balance, and Noelle wasn't convinced that soulmates were the exception.

    ☆ So, she had absolved to just be as smart as possible, get a very well paying job, and then, maybe her parents wouldn't care about marriage. After all, they weren't soulmates either, so it's not like Noelle's soulmate dying would free her from that fate either.

    She really wishes they would though. Really, really wishes. ☆

    ☆ Yet understanding is different. Understanding is ugly and terrible and it washes over Natsuki with no warning, because Natsuki doesn’t know if she wants someone to understand. If she wants someone to hurt like that. She finds every reason not to let someone understand. She conflates it with pity and judgement but with Yuri it seems she is destined to face the naked truth. Yuri understands Natsuki like no other. ☆

    A vaguely humanoid figure bathed in crimson light rose from the portal. An icy chill swept through the room, as if even heat itself retreated from the creature. It opened its mouth, one that had swindled a thousand mortals from their souls, and spoke.

    “NATSUKI!?!?!?!?!”
    “YURI?!?!?!?!!?!??!!?”

     

    Natsuki summons a demon to win Yuri's heart. Things go in a way that she'd never expect.

    His relationship with Jamie has been complicated since he met him. Some of it was just Jamie, bright and talented but such a prick. Some of it was just Roy, well into his decline when Jamie showed up and he was angry, always, and Jamie doesn’t respond well to loud angry men for obvious reasons so he would respond with more prickishness, Roy would get angrier . . . it’s a cycle he’s not proud of.

    He's trying to break it.
