    Summary

    Richie grabbed one of Carmy’s hands, placed his own wrist inside Carmy’s grip, and curled the trembling fingers closed. His pulse thrummed beneath Carmy’s fingertips, strong and steady.

    “Feel that?”

    “Mhm.”

    “Yep. Focus on that. Rhythm, Cousin. You can do it.”

    “Can’t.”

    “Can, fucko. You’re not even trying. Find the rhythm and breathe. One, two, in. Three, four, out. Like ballet or some shit. You love all that pansy rich people garbage.”

    “Talk. Please.”

    “I am fucking talking, dipshit,” Richie said, but conceded with a long-suffering sigh: “‘Kay, uh…oh, shit - ever tell you about the time your brother and I almost got arrested for chucking eggs at some lady off the L platform?"

    Part 2 of an ongoing series. The Bear's public grand opening is upon them. Carmy isn't handling it well.

    "In as much as it is given to God, and God alone, to command such forces...all those found to control Abilities will be, in the least, imprisoned to stop the spread of their heresy...and at the most, released to the Divine Judgment of God. This shall be law wheresoever our Mother Church holds sway."

    Summary

    But hunger has a way with you
    There’s no telling what you’re gonna do
    When the chips are down
    -Gone, I’m Gone, Hadestown

    Aramis and d’Artagnan are captured, tortured, and then abandoned. With brains addled by hunger and pain, neither of them can truly think straight; when they are rescued, Aramis must come to terms with the choices he would have made.

    with bleeding hands and foolish heart by

    Summary

    Red stained his shaking hand. D’Artagnan stared at it, uncomprehending. Not-good-not-good-not-good blared in the back of his mind, but all that left his mouth was a relatively calm:

    “Huh.”

    ——

    Common sense dictates that when bleeding out, it’s best to alert the medic—or anyone, for that matter—before you collapse. D’Artagnan learns this the hard way.
