Summary
He seemed to feel her staring. He rolled over and regarded her, heavy-lidded. The eyes beneath the long lashes were glittering dark and knowing, the eyes of a grown man in the face of a beardless youth fair as a girl. It was the face of a young god or a dream-vision. Were they all like this, the Elves of this west country? Ye gods! This ill-spoken prince hadn’t even been the prettiest one at the party.

Bookmarker's Notes
The rising flush in his cheeks bespoke anger now, if Haleth was any judge. Ah, he was young, she decided: he made the most sense to her if she thought of him as young. Young, and proud, and selfish, and rather stupid. If he had been a youth of her people she would have thought him worth taking some trouble over all the same: for the generosity was true enough, if overlate and shortsighted, and young men grew wiser as they grew older. But how long did it take an Elf to grow out of being a fool? Probably more lifetimes than Haleth had to spare.

Summary
Dave says, bouncing his heel on your thigh for attention, “Are you drunk? Holy shit, are you— like, are you tripping out? Did Rose just roofie you with her pretentious fuckin’ leaf water? Oh my god.”
“Oh my god,” Rose repeats, and colors brilliantly across her cheeks, blood coursing bright and close under her skin.

“Look, if you wanted a hug you could have just said,” Dave says, demonstrating that whatever education transpired, he’d manage to ignore the bulk of it. He wipes your eyes again.

Summary
This apartment, these walls and corners, these floors and doorways, they’re Dirk’s refuge. His shell, his armor. This place is light and warmth in an endlessly empty dark sea, a piece of the past to cling to in the wreckage of the future. A gift from his brother, a birthday present, the present of having birthdays, of being a human in a place meant for humans. Dirk could go out on rocket board, on rap-bot, on rafts, following the gulls, living free out under the sky, sailing by the light of the stars, but always he’d return to his sanctuary, his roost, his home.
This apartment is Dave’s cage, and he spent thirteen years crammed up against the bars by a man who did not love him.

Bookmarker's Notes
I know you, Dave was saying, angry and sad, guilty, It’s okay, I forgive you, I’m trying to, and Dirk wanted to say I’m not him, I’m not ever going to be him, you can be angry at him forever— but he likes anchovies and artichokes on his pizza just the same, and sometimes when he laughs Dave will go very still. And Dirk thinks It’s not fair, but he doesn’t know to which of them.

Summary
They work. They train. They fight. They cope. They're the closest thing he has to a family on this miserable, exhausting ball of ice, and Kylo Ren is going to ruin this for him too.
