    Summary

    “Cassian,” she whispers faintly, at the edge of her tears. “What will I do, if she doesn’t wake up? What else am I supposed to believe?”

    (The deprived have little to hold on to, and they are all they have left.)

    A series of unfortunate events that forces two usually forthcoming people to acknowledge the BR-004 sized elephant in the room. Alternatively: Chief and Zoya get stranded, patience wears thin and barely-there bonds get tested.

    Summary

    When they were kids they shared her bed at sleepovers. Ekko would sleep on one end and she’d sleep on the other. She would hog the blanket, talk in her sleep, and kick him in the stomach everytime she rolled over, but he never said anything about it, not even when it kept him awake all night.

    The light here is different to how it was then. On her face it cuts like glass into her mouth and cheeks. It gnarls her knuckles into knots. It turns her into someone else.

    Ekko, suddenly, is no longer nine years old and shrieking everytime she presses her cold feet again his calves.

    Summary

    It’s like playing dress up, like they used to, because Vi wouldn’t ever. She strips him past his jacket to a tank top and pants and she traces the contractions of muscle under his arms where veins travel and converge with paint on her fingers.

    Ekko’s skin is more warm and alive than hers is anymore.

    For her he leaves splotches and swirls of paint all over. Arms, legs, chest, back. Into her side he sears a huge blue star. The pink under her cheeks count as another encounter with closeness and his eyes again. Only a small amount of it is rubbed away by a sweaty fist and laughter.

    She stands with both arms out, “Are you trying to mark me?”

    Summary

    Stinging, blurring, burning vision.

    Steady finger guns. A disturbingly distant handshake with the one she loved most in the world, one final time.

    Isha wished there was another way, but wishing had never saved her before.

    She had never felt as cared for by another person as she did in those last moments, wide amber eyes locked onto Jinx before she raised the smuggled gun, its three hextech gemstones flashing uncontrollably, and aimed it at the sky. She closed her eyes, envisioning her mentor, her strength, and pulled the trigger.

    — or —

    Isha survives the blast, with a little unexpected help—but not without a price.

    Jinx will do anything to protect her protégé, but what is Isha to her? A friend? A sister ? A daughter? Forced to confront the consequences of Isha's survival, Jinx becomes everything the child has always needed—perhaps even healing herself in the process.

    How long can their fragile world survive? Their own little fantasy, woven from love and chaos, teeters on the edge. Soon, everything they’ve built could crumble beneath them.
