    Summary

    “So you wake up, I’m pressing it in… you look at me, I say—” he clears his throat a little, leans back over Gale—“It’s time.”

    “I’ll haunt you, boy,” Gale grits in return, looking at John unblinking and holding his jaw tense. “I ain’t leavin’ you in peace.”

    “I know,” John bites, and drives in the knife. Gale gasps and chokes, shudders like they rehearsed.

    “Come on, boy.” Gale’s only reacting now, bracing and writhing as John pulls back the knife—that’ll be when the SFX guy starts pumping the blood. He glides light, trembling fingers over a spot under Gale’s ribs, before rubbing a bit harder, and then—

    “What kind of foley you reckon they’ll put on this?” John muses, tapping his finger once against Gale’s skin. He sits up, and holds his other hand in a loose o, working the same finger in and out of the makeshift hole with a raised eyebrow. “Mac and cheese?”
    --
    Gale Cleven lands his first major credit, playing across big name John Egan—and despite what Gale told himself before shooting started, everyone knows that on-set flings happen. It's fine if it doesn't mean anything. Right?

    Summary

    “Is it still, you know,” she asked, gesturing with an embarrassed little twitch, “the same as it was?”
    “Honeypie, sweetcheeks, babydoll, et cetera,” Betelgeuse said, grinning broadly enough to crack a mirror. “It can be whatever the fuck you want it to be.”

    She had been nineteen at the time and reading a lot of Lovecraft and therefore, she reasoned, could not have been blamed.

    Summary

    Rooster found it with Mav’s stuff. It wasn’t really clear what it was until he fully yanked it out of the cardboard box from under a few other old jackets: a long sleeve shirt, heathered gray, FALCONS in blue on the front in tattered letters where the silkscreen had worn off– his.

    Eureka.
