    Summary

    In group one day, Social Worker Jake says, “Look, when you get out of here, you may need to make some new friends. You may need to leave behind some of the old ones, the ones who got you into bad habits. One of the hardest things for folks in recovery is figuring out how to fill the time that you used to spend getting high.”

    Frank almost bites through his cheek. He doesn’t have a surplus of people, or seemingly really know how to find new ones, and, anyways, his job is the only fucking thing he likes and everyone he might want to avoid is going to be there too. So it’s not a social problem, except for all the ways that it is.

    (Frank and Mel are friends. At least, he thinks so. They're friends, right?)

    Summary

    Howell is accustomed to men howling and lashing out during the procedure; he is accustomed to their bodies racked with shock-shivers dragging them up again and again from the black unconsciousness they chase; has seen them bite and kick and scratch and beg until the last peaceable sigh of either sleep or death washes over them. 

    He has never seen what he sees in Silver: a feverish desperation to keep hold of consciousness even as the scrape of the bonesaw overtakes the crash of cannonballs against the Carolina shore.

    Summary

    “It’s alright,” Bobby says, another useless lie.

    Eddie’s eyes open, look straight into his, and his next words are remarkably clear. “I love him, Bobby.”

    “No,” he shakes his head, a strange and frantic panic bubbling up inside him. “You can’t tell me this- you can’t tell me this-“ a hundred smiles shift slightly to the left in Bobby’s memory. It’s barely a surprise, really, he picked Eddie out for Buck himself, years and years ago. He thought they’d make a fine pair. “You have to- we’re getting out of here and you’re telling him yourself, you can’t-“

    --

    Bobby deals with the ramifications of a misplaced confession

    Summary

    Ugh your dads suck, his friend Phoebe texts when he tells them where he’s gone for the summer. And – yeah. Yeah, they do. What are they even going to do while you’re there?

    That’s a thing Chris usually doesn’t correct people about, the idea that he has Dads, Plural. It’s easier than talking about his dead mom, easier than answering people’s questions about why he only has Dad, Singular. People who have Mom, Singular don’t usually have to answer questions, but when it’s a dad, people get curious.

    He doesn’t really get why, but he knows it’s easier to just let them assume things sometimes.

     

    chris misses his dad. he misses his mom. he misses buck. he's still trying to figure out what it means that he misses them all in the same way.

    “Well, uh,” Roz starts, sounding somewhat embarrassed. “We just wanted to let you know—you’re the first to find out, of course, Gorgug, because you’re the most important person that this pertains to, and we really think-“

    “We’re having a baby!” Gorbag cheers, and Gorgug fully drops his crystal on his dad’s head.

    Summary

    Sydney thinks that if she found out she was pregnant a little earlier she probably wouldn’t have gone through with it. Like, if she found out before her landlord changed the locks on her apartment, or before the bank sent her all those red letters, or before the pasta dried up, she’d probably have just taken herself to Planned Parenthood, popped the pills and charged it to the game. But as it is, the two blue lines appear on the stick during the worst months of her life, the first months of the pandemic when she’s unemployed and shit scared that her dad is going to get coronavirus and die. And when she sees them, she just thinks: well, this might as well happen. She was a disappointment before. What’s one more thing?

    Before she meets Carmy, Sydney has a baby.

    When most people think of Bruce Banner and The Hulk, they think of it as an either/or situation and assume that it's easy to tell who they're face to face with.

    To stay by Edward's side had become a sacrifice, and watching him fall in love with Stede fucking Bonnet felt like martyrdom.

    Izzy never felt shame in surviving; he never hated his mother for her sin. Even Izzy himself had given bits of himself away in that temple. Cut off the parts that didn't fit so he could survive in that holy house.

    TL;DR izzys is sad and has religious trauma. get in line buddy.

    Summary

    There is something wrong with her, now. She used to be faster, she used to tire less often. Her heartbeat had been strong where now it seems to pulse and flutter at odd, inconvenient moments. Her muscles had been fit where now they ache and tense around her joints. Her freedom to use the Blue used to be less of a strain, less of a risk. Her body is more prone to breaking, where it used to be sturdier. She falters, now, where she hadn't before.

    Tula names it Motherhood and does not dwell on it.

    Jess is the one who asks. 'Spider Society', she calls it.

    At first, Hobie says no. Jess doesn’t tell him much, but she tells him enough to trigger that little sense in the back of his radioactive bug brain that says 'get the hell away from this place and all it stands for'.

    I had an idea about why Hobie joined and it spiralled wildly out of control
