    Summary

    “Maddie? What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

    Her head is spinning, thoughts flinging in a million directions. Tears blur her vision. Past them, fuzzy and faint, she can see the ceramic mug shattered on the ground— a scratch on her palm dripping red, red blood onto the tile as white as pure snow. Big Bear, running, the knife— cold metal piercing her skin before she can really process it; agony she’s suffered a million times and never before; a thought buried beneath the pain: this is what it must have felt like for Chimney before he died. Then the struggle— scrabbling for the knife in the snow— taking the life of the man who took hers — and stumbling, blind and bleeding, across an endless snowscape.

    Doug is dead. Doug is dead, she killed him, he’s dead, and Maddie Buckley is newly thirty-five years old heaving out sob after sob on the floor of her home, clinging to the sound of her brother calling out to her both now and in her memories.

    Summary

    Peter jolts awake when the plane taking his class home flies just close enough to a flock of birds to suck two of them into the engines. He’s barely registered their startled squawks—possibly pigeons? do they even fly this high?—before a sickening thunk reverberates through his chest, metaphorically, and through the birds’ chests, very literally. The plane is fine, barely even registering the impact.

    Peter is not.

    Summary

    "She lets go and leans back in her seat again. Her head bumps against the window behind her as she angles herself to glance at Peter, watching his head bob to the music. It’s cute. He catches her looking and smiles, a soft curve to his lips that she has to force herself to look away, lest she does something stupid like kiss him. She focuses on a spot near his shoulder, so she can still look at him from the corner of her eye. It’s like the sun. You don’t look at it directly in the eye because it’s dangerous."

    or everyone knows peter and mj have been dating for months. except maybe mj.

    Summary

    How to have a nice evening with your significant other (an easy one-step guide):

    1. Avoid getting stabbed.

    Peter fails step one. He also loses an accidental, self-instigated fight against a streetlight and ends up with a bag of frozen legumes over his face, half-passed out on the floor of MJ's room. Somehow, the night still turns out pretty alright.
