Summary
Sometimes, even for a person mired in deep cowardice and selfishness, all it takes is one small moment of awareness and compassion for a friend at the right moment to start the ball of change moving.
For Bear, that moment comes when he is faced with the truth that Nikki is not in her right mind. He can either keep putting his head in the sand and believe in a fantasy, or finally find his courage and remember that Nikki is not only his lover, she is also his best friend.

Summary
Spinning out of the Redemption ending, Sean Diaz's life in prison, and the deep unfairness of it, feels like drowning. It's a sadness he feels in his bones, and it strains his relationship with his brother Daniel. But then Sean discovers he has a power too--he can travel back in time through his sketches. And he can change the past. He has an opportunity to fix what happened the day his father was shot, to live the life he always should have had.
However, the past is something that does not want to change.
And, as a certain resident of Arcadia Bay once learned, there is always a cost.

Summary
What is scarier, choosing discomfort to learn, or conforming to the world because learning is hard?
For years, Baron “Bear” Bailey had spent years trapped in a mindset he never questioned, until a series of unexpected moments begin to crack it open. Sandy’s death, caused by his own negligence forces him to confront the state of his life. A conversation with Lindsay reminds him that people are people, not projections of what he thinks they are. Ruthie, the same waitress he practiced his confession to, becomes a catalyst for a journey he never expected to take.
Challenging the source of obsession.
Questioning the "nice guy" attitude.
Actively refusing to take shortcuts, like the One Wish Willow, which will appear once and will be rejected instantly, to never be seen again.Through education on empathy, boundaries, consent, vulnerability, and change, Bear rejects the future Obsession gave him.
This is not the story where Bear makes a wish. This is the story where he learns why he shouldn't.
This is where he refuses to.
And through this journey, he finds liberation.Bookmarked by EssentialBirdWatcherCosmo
