Summary
In the evening, he made his way down to Trastevere, the food neighborhood where every winding alleyway was lined with hole-in-the-wall bars. He grabbed dinner from a sandwich shop and paused to ogle at the menu: each sandwich was named after a heavy metal band.
His friends back home would love this. Gwen, too, he thought, which was a weird thing to think. Gwen was a separate entity from his friends. She belonged to the world of Total Drama, a world that Duncan desperately tried to keep separate from everything else.
Duncan is free as a bird: he's ditched the Jumbo Jet and is ready to live life on his own terms. But as he pickpockets his way through Europe, his thoughts keep drifting back to one friend in particular. What the heck is that about?

Summary
“If you were reincarnated as an animal,” Steve says, “what would you like to be?”
Oh, do Robin’s eyes roll. “If the universe has any sense of humor at all, I’d be a robin. Singing my songs all day long, one-bird band, rockin’ robin. Tweet tweet.”
“And what animal do you think you deserve?”
“Deserve?” Robin repeats incredulously. “Man, you picked the exact wrong time to start with the shrooms. Lockdown finally cracking you?”
Steve and Robin ponder the afterlife.

Summary
He was so stupid. Jo looked down at the empty black voice where she knew his hand was. If she couldn’t even see for herself, it didn’t really count. There would be no witnesses. And so she let go of Brick’s collar and tracked her hand down his arm until it found his own hand.
Now her heart was beating wildly for an entirely different reason. Stupid adrenaline.
~~
Lost in the woods of Wawanakwa, with no hope of returning to camp before morning, Jo and Brick are forced to... hold hands. Obviously emotions get involved.

Summary
“Jordie,” he says, slowly so Jordie can hear and understand. “This is a dream.”
Jordie tilts his head, laughs boisterously, but there is no sound. Kaz cannot remember his brother’s laugh. He cannot remember his voice. The details are wrong because Kaz does not know enough to correct them. It is the same mistake every night.
“No, it’s not,” Jordie corrects. He uses Kaz’s captured pawn to wave to the poppies. “Look at the flowers, Kaz.”
OR: Kaz schemes, dreams, and avoids his feelings until they catch up to him with vengeance. Mostly at Nina's hands. -

Summary
When Inej left the golden halls of her personal hell days after her fifteenth birthday, she flinched at the shadows. Two years later, the Wraith of Ketterdam made others flinch at her shadow instead. There were countless moments that forged the woman she would become, endless memories of late night stakeouts and heart-pounding fights that marked her time with the Dregs. But the remaking of Inej Ghafa began with a knife and an order to “be useful.”
Or: The story of how Inej acquires her knives, keeps her faith, and reclaims herself in the two years between leaving the Menagerie and the job that changed her life.
