    Summary

    “Where's Ginny?” she asks, because she does not wanna be caught sobbing in Georgia Miller's arms by the daughter she currently has a rocky relationship with.

    Georgia shrugs. Man, she wishes Ellen were this cool. “I dunno. You'd know more than me.”

    Max checks her phone. MANG has met up at Blue Farm. They even tagged Max to go join. She's not in the mood, but her heart doesn't collapse from the anxiety at the thought. Maybe another day. She types it to them.

    “You know,” Georgia is looking at her thoughtfully when she pockets her phone. “Out of all of Ginny's friends, you were always my favorite.”

    Summary

    That morning, waiting in the parking lot, wasn’t the first time Maxine thought about killing herself. No, that has been at age 12, when Brandon Smithson, kissed her behind the slide on the playground, and then called her a whore when she told him she was gay.

    In that moment, all she wanted to do was die of embarrassment and shame.

    No, it certainly wasn’t the first time thinking about it all stopping; about going to sleep, finding herself in the silence at the end of the unrelenting spiral, and never waking up.

    Summary

    Marcus had never thought about suicide. At least no more than listening to the yearly assembly about warning signs and statistics. Even in his darkest days. He never once considered.
    He saw no point in killing himself. No, he would much rather lie down and forget to exist. Sure, eventually he would die. But he was no danger to himself; in fact, he was nothing to himself.
    Inaction wasn’t the same as action.
    Max was always the doer between the two of them.

    Follow Up to "Glass Girl". There are no happy endings, but sometimes, there are hopeful ones.

    Summary

    “It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.” Or, in other words: Don’t ask questions if you don’t want to know the answer.

    The problem is simple: Lois Lane has never hesitated to ask a question in her life.

    Summary

    “So Bruce’s longtime best friend had suddenly decided to start eye-fucking him at random. So what? Bruce was used to being the object of this kind of attention. It didn’t bother him.

    It was—should have been fine. The issue was that it was Clark, and Bruce had enough trouble remaining rational about him at the best of times.”

    or

    Bruce and Clark go from friends to lovers the long, long, long way round. Featuring a number of revelations, a well-meaning but nosy son (Dick) and, most prominently, two adult men being completely and utterly useless.
