Summary
As a child, Connie used to memorize the constellations outside her bedroom window and in rented library books.
On the edge of sixteen, she makes her own with blue ballpoint pens, connecting the faint freckles on the back shoulders of the star-child after his healing battle scars are bandaged. Her fingers glide over the leftover burn scars and momentary darkened, bruised skin, the permanent reminders of battles and tarnished childhood memories by invading aliens.
Five years ago, Connie was forced to return to normal. She returned and completed middle school, graduated alongside classmates and posed for photos and ignored her mother’s excited squeals. Her mind spaced out, and at the first drumbeat as the band began to play, she had a panic attack.
[ A Connie-centric peek between the events of SU and Future. It explores her point of view, mindset, and follows Connie from right before Future to years later after she's left for college, answering the question: "How is Connie dealing with everything that happened? She experienced a lot as well." ]
Features Steven in the next chapter. Mentions of Greg and Rose/Pink.

Summary
“Susie,” Kris’s voice deadpans from the other end of the line, “if you don’t call me back in five minutes, I’m killing myself.”
Noelle stares.
Susie coughs. “They, uh. They don’t mean that.”
Susie makes her first friend. Somehow, they're even more insane than she is.

Summary
Five things you learn living with Kim Kitsuragi, and one thing he learns living with you.
KIM KITSURAGI: He closes his eyes briefly, takes a breath, and opens them. He looks directly at you and says, “You can stay at my apartment.”
AUTHORITY: It’s not an offer. There’s no, if you want. It’s a command.
YOU: Your eyes water even further.
JEAN VICQUEMARE: He barks out a laugh. “Fuck,” he says. “Lieutenant, with all due respect…”
AUTHORITY: He trails off when Kim turns to look at him.
ENDURANCE: I don’t think you know what you’re getting into, Jean concludes in his head.

Summary
While attempting to rescue Aziraphale from a dangerous situation in Heaven, Crowley is killed. Aziraphale makes a bargain with God to get him back. Only, he’s got to find him, first.
“Anthony, I have your Mr. Fell here,” Madame Tracy says, in her breathy medium voice. “Is there anything you’d like to say to him?”
Yeah, comes Crowley’s voice out of Madame Tracy’s mouth, and Aziraphale grabs the edge of the table with his free hand until it cracks under his grip. He doesn’t notice. Because it is Crowley. He knows it like he knows - well, anything, really. Crowley continues, Yeah, you can tell that self-righteous arse “I told you so.”
Shadwell, lurking around the edge of the room, mutters a blasphemy under his breath.Bookmarked by trialoftheidiot

Summary
You’ve been having strange dreams. Awful dreams, dreams in which Kim dies, every night. You think someone’s trying to tell you something…
SHIVERS: They are.
Excerpt:
KIM KITSURAGI: “Harry. You were - making noise.”INLAND EMPIRE: Moaning. Crying out.
KIM KITSURAGI: In the dark - the only light the streetlight and the neon glow from the Frittte cast in through the window - he looks unreal.
CONCEPTUALIZATION: Ghostly.
HALF LIGHT: His eyes. You can’t see his eyes.
INTERFACING: You have to land a hand on his knee, to see if he’s real.
KIM KITSURAGI: He’s warm with sleep. He makes a surprised noise, but doesn’t pull away.
