Summary
Dina raises her mug, holds it out for him to clank against.
“What exactly are we cheersin’ to?” Joel asks, smacking his cup against hers without an answer.
She takes a sip, swallowing her tanned, sweetened coffee and releasing a long, “Ahhh,” as she does so. “To…loving people enough that you stay awake the whole night for them.”
Joel doesn’t repeat it back, just lets the words settle deep in his gut, sliding on down his esophagus much like hot coffee that burns the whole way.
“Sure thing, kiddo. Sure thing.”
or: The Joel and Dina become something like best buds despite Ellie refusing to so much as even acknowledge Joel's existence fic.

Summary
Picking up right where Red Dead Redemption leaves off, Sadie Adler arrives at Beechers Hope to find Abigail dead and Jack missing with a Bounty on his head for shooting Edgar Ross. She hightails it to Mexico to track him down, stumbling on a mysterious woman who needs a fresh start somewhere safe just as much as Jack.
Natalie Johns-Dwyer is the beloved daughter of a con-woman mother, and the illegitimate daughter of Governor Nate Johns, who's eager to keep his family secrets dead and buried.
Sadie and Nattie's paths intersect as they struggle though bandits and Bureau agents, encountering old friends and difficult choices with a singular desparate goal: get Jack and Nattie the hell out of the country. But as feelings flourish, and the path forward only grows more dangerous, what will become of them all?

Summary
Jaina blinked. “Pardon?”
“You’ve heard me.” Sylvanas said shrugging her shoulders as she lounged on the sofa. “You don’t have to agree, wife. It was just a suggestion and if you don’t like it no one is going to bring it up again.”
Jaina just kept staring at her, not knowing how to respond.
“And that is…common among the Forsaken?” Jaina asked carefully, walking over to where Sylvanas was sprawled.
“I’m not going to talk for all the Forsaken, but among my Dark Rangers, yes.”

Summary
“Just so I understand because I am trying to,” Celine begins, her voice a bit grave and almost sounding confused. Mira straightens her posture suddenly. “You came out here, by yourself, in the middle of probably your most important comeback, just so you can ask me, me, the person the three of you despise right now—”
“We don’t despise you that much, we only—”
“—just so you can ask me to grant you permission to date Rumi?”
Mira clears her throat, “And Zoey.”
or, snapshots of Mira being a loser girl and lover girl extraordinaire. Also, Mira finds Celine funny.

Summary
Gneiss is a high grade metamorphic rock, meaning that it has been subjected to higher temperatures and pressures than schist. It is formed by the metamorphosis of granite, or sedimentary rock. Gneiss displays distinct foliation, representing alternating layers composed of different minerals. However, unlike slate and schist, gneiss does not preferentially break along planes of foliation because less than 50% of the minerals formed during the metamorphism are aligned in thin layers. Because of the coarseness of the foliation, the layers are often sub-parallel, i.e. they do not have a constant thickness, and discontinuous.
Gneiss is typically associated with major mountain building episodes. During these episodes, sedimentary or felsic igneous rocks are subjected to great pressures and temperatures generated by great depth of burial, proximity to igneous intrusions and the tectonic forces generated during such episodes. Gneisses from western Greenland comprise the oldest crustal rocks known (more than 3.5 billion years old). Gneiss is an old German word meaning bright or sparkling.
