    Summary

    She is actually doing quite well for a time displaced young woman who has just finished a century-long battle with demon, and whose admittedly-few friends are all long dead, and who hasn't used her vocal chords or seen the sun in a hundred years.

    (Intimidating word count, but it’s 4 manageable arcs.)

    Summary

    In reality, it could have been any number of people. His parents, or the neighbors, or a little girl walking her dog on by. Anyone would stop to watch two boys throwing stones at one another.

    Summary

    It doesn't help that Ryan's fingers are suddenly moving, not holding him anymore, but just…hovering. Pads tickling over knuckles, down to his palm, and then up again. When their sticky palms slot together, it's Ryan's hand that comes up larger.

    Or in which Naim yearns, and yearns, and yearns.

    Summary

    “So, what now? We keep catching coaches from shithole to shithole?”

    A mosquito pricks Ryan’s neck and he smacks it away. He thinks about the weight of Naim’s head on his shoulder on the bus, the tinny melodies emitted by cheap earphones filling the space between them. Remembers how settled he’d felt, how uncertain yet still oddly calm, having only the vaguest idea where he was going but being sure about who he was going with. He looks at Naim. “Maybe, yeah.”

    /

    Ryan and Naim keep going.

    Summary

    PJ pointed up at Hazel’s cat ear headphones. “Those are the fucking cringiest thing I have seen since the clown at the school’s anti-drug parade.”

    Hazel didn’t say anything in response, just pressed the ears forward with her fingers to indicate her dissatisfaction with PJ’s comment. When she got into the car, she pulled them down and left them around her neck, no plans to take them off just because PJ thought they’re dorky. She isn’t surprised, but if you suggested she was endeared she’d have to put her fist through your solar plexus. That was just her and Hazel, she made stupid, snide comments and Hazel let them roll right off her back like a duck.
