    "Careful, he's a hero," someone says.

    Deadpool oohs. "Now that's fun. That line wasn't actually in the movie." He coughs up some blood, and crawls in the car.

    Summary

    At some point, Grace was roofied at a nightclub.

    He thinks it was in undergrad. It’s a strange and nebulous memory, even among his many strange and nebulous memories. Like weird flashes that don’t really follow any order and don’t really mean anything until they kind of start to.

    He gets the first sense of it when he’s tipsy on Ilyukhina’s vodka, lying on the floor. He knows he’s been drunk before. He knows he’s been to clubs, because he can hear the music and picture the lights. But it’s this specific moment where he tilts, and he remembers thinking, oh, this isn’t right. And then that’s all.

    It keeps coming back up. That oh feeling. Maybe because nothing is right, because he’s not supposed to be alone in the middle of space, with no way to get home.

    Summary

    “And we don’t know—we haven’t heard anything about this guy?” Fabian asks.

    Fig counts off on her fingers, “Well, we know they’re from the Baronies.”

    “Uh huh.”

    “And that they’re dating Riz?”

    “Uh huh.”

    “And they’ve been dating for—a few months, maybe?”

    “I mean…” Fabian shrugs. “I guess?”

    “Huh,” Kristen says thoughtfully. “Weird.” A cupcake manages to hit Gorgug in the face. He pulls it off, some frosting sticking to his cheek. Kristen points at it. “Hey, are you gonna eat that?”

    Or: the outside and aftermath of an unhealthy relationship with fear, featuring Baron vs. the Bad Kids

    Summary

    Fabian blinks. “They…like it in there? The ball—Riz. Are you telling me that you’re keeping Baron in your briefcase…on purpose?”

    “Yeah.” Riz nods rapidly. “Yeah, I am. Um, ‘cus we’re dating, you know? They’re my partner.”

    Fabian continues to blink at Riz. “Well,” he says. “Well, that’s…uh, congratulations?”

    “Thank you.”

    The briefcase cracks open. A pale hand extends, waves at them. Fabian jerks his head down to stare at it. “Thank you!” Baron chimes.

    Or: Riz successfully convinces his friends and family he’s in a relationship. He fails to convince them it's a healthy one.

    Summary

    She heard bombs fall from the sky. Her birth parents screaming. Her own little cries.

    Breathe, she told herself. Focus.

    There were no bombs. Not now. She was safe. Everyone here was safe.

    Summary

    "Adaine, please be reasonable. This was supposed to be a nice day." You were going to get pretzels. Maybe even one of those blue-coloured frozen drinks. You've always wondered if they really turn one's tongue blue.

    -

    It's summer vacation and Aelwyn Abernant breaks in a pair of boots, hotboxes in the hangvan, and has an identity crisis.

    Summary

    "First day of school!" Digby cheers. He's wearing his 'best dad' tinkerer's apron that Gorgug made for him when he was nine. "How are you feeling, bud?"

    Gorgug stuffs half a hot flatcake in his mouth and washes it down with some ice-cold milk. "I think I'm stuck in a time-loop," he says.

    Summary

    Roy freezes. His shoulders go up, his eyes are pointing straight ahead, and he looks — fucking — Jesus —

    "Mum," he croaks, gripping a kit so tight his knuckles are the same shade as the pale lettering. He sets it down, and turns to...apparently, his mum.

    Summary

    "He was so hot it was crazy. He had the kamikaze in him. His abs tasted like candy, and gasoline, and elbow grease, and danger. It's not fair, dammit!"

    Summary

    The first thing Roy remembers is Warsaw—the ghetto, during the war. Waking up from nothing, hearing cries around him and bombs in the distance. Looking up, and seeing his grandad's kind face for the first time.

    With his face pressed against the thick glass of his window, looking out at the stars, Roy thinks of this, because he wishes he could feel a fucking ounce of that compassion now.

    Summary

    "Hey, Riz!" Fig shouts, kicking down the door to Riz's office. "Me and Kristen and Tracker are taking Ayda to Basrar's! We're gonna show her all the ice creams this stupid country has to offer! Are you coming, or are you coming?"

    Even though it can be super annoying, Riz really appreciates how his friends and family sometimes check in on him. Fig especially.

    Summary

    Leslie sighs. "He's a good pianist. You don't have to talk. You don't even have to look at each other. I think we could all have a lot of fun together. This will be good for him; for both of you."

    He walks back out into the living room with the wine and some glasses. In the name of spite, he goes right up to the piano, where Jamie is sitting, doing some scales, and loudly says, "Thanks so much for coming, Jamie, it's lovely to have you. Do you fancy a glass of wine?"

    Summary

    "Well, shit. Should have you do my wedding. Since you know fucking everyone in the fucking world, apparently."

    Roy resists the urge to have the bartender pour him another drink, just so he can throw it in Jamie's face.

    Summary

    David's thinking about his next move—either he'll throw cards into a hat, or call his girlfriend and bicker over who's going out in the cold to visit the other—when the doorbell rings.

    "Who is it?" David shouts.

    "Dean Campbell," a very butch voice calls back.

    Summary

    Stashwick stops a couple steps in front of Roy and Jamie. He takes a breath, and nods. "Roy," he says. It barely sounds like an insult. Maybe Roy can do this.

    "Doug." Fucking shit. That was definitely a growl.

    The twat smiles. "Fuck, it's good to see you, kid." He grabs Roy's shoulder, and sticks out his hand.
