    Summary

    The trap closes around the animal's leg. Its hips. Its throat. The apex of its spine and lungs and heart. If fear is a human emotion, this is the closest to human this creature will ever become. Tearing its body apart just to try to get away.

    Or maybe fear is a gift God gives us. Man made in His image, after all.

     

    (Or, Mac realizes that Dennis needs him when he isn't feeling well.)

    Summary

    A human, a god, an animal, an angel. A creature no one’s ever seen before, and won’t again.

    Summary

    "If there’s a point you pass, where you flip over into success, does it work the opposite way? Is there a tipping point where it all goes to shit? And if so, what was it for them? When did they all become so irredeemably fucked-up?"

    [This is definitely not a fun one. It takes place after / refers to events in “Misses the Boat” and “Time’s Up.”]

    Summary

    Sidney looks mortified by the thought. It reminds Charlie that he's a freakazoid, and that Sidney's one of the normal ones. Frankly, that's good. That's great. She can grow up and be kinda alright, and she won't be inhaling paint thinner at three in the morning in the bar basement until she vomits, and she won't drink alone in a pub bathroom because she's a stalker and she knows it's wrong, and she won't huddle in a high school broom closet and drink bleach and hope maaaybe it kills him, or at the very least gives Mac enough fear of losing his best friend that he sleeps on the floor between Charlie's bed and the bedroom door.

    Nah, Sid's gonna be fine. She makes faces at eating bugs.

    Summary

    “He’s talking about me, when he talks about people like that. Charlie—”

    Charlie shakes his head rapidly. When he interrupts, he sounds just as tired as Dennis feels. “He’s talking about himself, dude.”

    (Sometimes, Mac's homophobic tirades get to be too much. So Dennis closes himself off in the back office and gets high with Charlie. It's fine. He probably won't even remember this tomorrow.)
