    Summary

    He stares up at the crucifix.
    Christ hangs suspended in agony, ribs carved too clearly, wounds etched deep. Suffering made beautiful. Pain turned into purpose. Luka feels smaller than ever. “I was told it was not my fault. They say God has a plan. That suffering has purpose. That loss… means something. But I don’t see the purpose. I don’t understand the plan. I don’t know what any of this is supposed to mean except that they’re gone and I’m not.”

    Or… Luka feels guilty about the death of his family, resulting in nightmares. Carter doesn’t know about it.

    Summary

    “Are you okay with this?” Abby asks.

    A lock of Luka’s hair falls over his eyes. He doesn’t brush it back.

    “What do you mean?” he asks.

    “Having a child again.”

    He looks at her, frowning. “Of course.”

    “No, I mean—I know you want a baby.” She fiddles with the bright pink corner of the page. New! the bright text reads, before she flicks it from sight. “But are you, I don’t know. Worried, maybe?”

    Luka stares. He’s a hapless fawn and she’s the bright headlights of a monstrous truck. Or she’s the deer, with Bambi at her feet, and he’s the metalloid.

    “Why would I be?” he says.

    She opens her mouth. Closes it. He doesn’t say anything, just keeps staring at her.

    aka the one where luka's totally fine with having another kid! no latent unresolved issues he shoved deep inside himself that he now has to face, no sir, not at fucking all.

    Summary

    Qifrey doesn't respond— he doesn't have anything to say. All of a sudden, he is so very tired. So dreadfully exhausted that it weights on his shoulders and makes them slump. Like a lead vest. Like a mile of water above him. Like the weight of a petty little childhood promise.

    Something's the matter with him right now.

    I hate you, he lies, and then the opposite, I wish you never met me.

    "Olly," he says, soft and sweet, "Let go of me."

    Qifrey has a little mental break. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    If someone asked Kerry how living with John Carter was going, she would give them the same answer she gave everyone else— fine. He was quiet, clean, meticulous, and didn’t touch her CD player.

    But lately there have been… abnormalities.

    Or… CarterKerry roommates arc but Carter and Luka are together and sneaking around
