Summary
Ethan asks Benji to teach him how to solve a Rubik's cube. Easy enough, until you factor in that Ethan has never touched a cube before, Benji's never taught anyone, and oh yeah! Benji has a ridiculously large crush on Ethan. This is sure to be interesting...
“Can you solve this?”
Pulled out of his thoughts, Benji glanced over to find Ethan holding the Rubik’s cube Benji always had sitting on his desk. He turned a few of the sides back and forth experimentally.
Benji scoffed, “Of course I can solve it. Why else would it be on my desk?”
“You’d be surprised how many people I’ve met who just put these on their desks to look smart. You know David? Down the hall? He’s got one. Never solved it in his life.”
“Well, that’s just stupid.”
Ethan grinned. “I caught him once peeling the stickers off the sides and sticking them on in the right places.”
“Blasphemy, that’s what that is.”
“Blasphemy.” Ethan said, incredulous.
“That’s what I said.” Benji leaned back in his chair. “Wanna see what a real solve looks like?”
Ethan raised an eyebrow incredulously. “Only if you let me mess it up.”
“Be my guest.” -

Summary
A collection of scenes throughout their relationship in which Maverick touches Iceman and he completely freezes up.
"Maverick is sleeping on him.
Maverick is sleeping on him and Ice cannot stop feeling the points of contact like little fires on his skin. He’s hyper-aware of Maverick, instinctively tracking his breaths in and out, the way he shifts against Ice slightly, trying to get comfortable.
Part of him wants to bring his arm down around Maverick’s shoulders and hold him tighter.
The other part of him doesn’t know if he can bear any more contact." -

Spoilers for Campaign One: Vox Machina, Episode 58!
My poem-ish take on that scene where Vax discovered his wings.
"It's a deceptively simple question.
'Do you trust me?'
He's standing at the edge of the cliff, Gilmore beside him, all of Whitestone stretching out before him in a vast expanse. The trees are bathed in moonlight, dripping silver from every needle.
The shadows between the trees seem to stretch down into unfathomable depths.
'Do you trust me, Vax?'
What else was there to say but yes?" -

Summary
A series of scenes between Billy and Mary as their relationship evolves. Takes place throughout the musical (specifically the version my high school produced so if you think it's wrong, too bad), but I don't spend much time just rehashing events y'all already know.
"As the trial continued, she’d continually found her eyes drawn to him, no matter who was talking. Every movement of his exuded confidence, a complete control of the world, an ease which she longed to capture in her writing.
She’d tried for hours after the trial’s end, scribbling sentences and half-formed thoughts on scraps of paper, one thought beginning before the last ended. But she never quite managed to reproduce his swagger, his charm.
No matter. It was only a matter of time before she’d see him again. She was sure of it." -

Summary
What happens when Fedyor hears about Ivan's death? Spoiler alert: it's not fun
“Fedyor… don’t you know?”
The terrible, horrible, awful feeling that had been coiled around the base of Fedyor’s spine since he heard the first rumors suddenly flared up, filling his body with dread. Fedyor instantly wanted her to stop. Wanted to stop the next words from coming out of her mouth. Wanted to leave the stoop, leave the city, leave Ravka, leave the world. Anything to keep from hearing the next words that were going to come out of her mouth.
“Ivan’s dead.”
