    Summary

    Sophie wants her immediately, the way she wants everything beautiful: blouses and vistas and paintings and street cats she knows she could never properly care for and jewels and people, everything surprising and puzzling and delightsome to her. Sophie wants to look at this woman until some itch inside her is soothed, or maybe until another is ignited. She glances down at the counter, picks up her purse.

    No act is inherently degrading, you remind yourself periodically, it's just the—the social context superimposed on it.

    Summary

    He's been giving her a budget, without really thinking about it as such; there's a threshold to which she can hurt him before he considers it worth mentioning. She dips into the red again and again without batting an eye, like those brands that aim to drain the competition dry and make it all up by hiking prices once they've trampled their way into a monopoly. As ever, he's got no strategy except what she taught him: cook the books.

    Summary

    She's devoted to heels, she punches hard, she barks orders at first years like she's the guy in an action movie who calls the team together—Naomi’s kind of infuriatingly incredible, and it makes Holly want to do something ridiculous like sink her bright green acrylics into the oil slick of Naomi’s fur coat and tug.

    Summary

    Our story begins, I guess, with what the Evans twins did this summer.

    A sudden tragedy rocks Salt Lake City and East High in particular. In its aftermath, students turn to art and to each other—both of which are easier said than done in the face of parental disapproval, petty drama, and secrets woven into the fabric of their hometown itself.

    Summary

    Another thing Nate may never learn: Sophie shouldn’t be approached with challenge, like this. Oh, she can follow that script just fine, play and parry all night or month, but the acting, no matter how much she loves and needs it, is work. It’s the lying that’s real.

    So Tara’s again gonna lie her down and give her the one thing nobody else will: a moment where she doesn’t have to think about how to get what she wants.

    Summary

    “Well, don’t you look, oh, what’s the expression you cowboys use?” Sophie asks, waving a hand. Eliot scoffs a little and plays along.

    “Tuckered out?” he suggests, skeptical, but she shakes her head, a perfect moue of faux perplexion where she rests her manicured nail beside her lips. Eliot studies its point and aches. Chomps at his own bit.

    “No,” she says after a moment, “no, I believe it’s, ah, ‘rode hard and put away wet’.”

    Summary

    Spotting the Seelie, it turns out, is the easy part. Fae is ethereal, practically glowing against the backdrop of unaware partygoers, a Blake painting come to life to show up everyone else’s outfits. The room is dark, hazy, multicolored lights flashing at odd intervals; Raphael is sure to have a headache tomorrow, undead physiology be damned, but the Seelie looks natural as anything and out of place for it, like a river winding through the heart of downtown, turning the New York street into a canal.

    Summary

    “Hey, Bee.” Betty grips the edge of the table. She’s only heard Veronica cry twice—once in the school bathroom, once in the middle of the woods—and it’s no less jarring now. On the other end of the line, Veronica sniffs. “Um, could you come get me?”

    “Of course,” Betty says, a full ten seconds before anything else crosses her mind. Then: “From—from New York?”

    Summary

    It’s like the monster from one of Jughead’s comic books, or Veronica’s 4-D rendering—because it fits, somehow, that the scariest nightmare of the teens of Riverdale is a giant eye. Makes Archie think of that book, about that Gatsby guy and the glasses ad; Ms. Haggly’d said it was supposed to represent God, but all the notes Betty wrote in the margins were about her mother.

    Summary

    Maybe you were only born with a set amount of fight in you, a nonrenewable resource, and you burnt the last of it up when you were 18. Bring me back, you think, I know how to take it now.

    Summary

    “I don’t get why you’re so excited about this, anyway,” Sharpay says. “You’re going to be working all summer.” She wrinkles her nose, and Ryan rolls his eyes.

    “Yeah, teaching dance. It’s not like I’m going to be lifeguarding.” They grimace in tandem; his skin is not cut out for that much sun. “Besides, you used to love camp.”

    As a dance instructor for the junior campers rather than a program participant himself, he’ll have a lot more freedom, with none of the late-night responsibility and lack of privacy that would come with being a counselor. An entire summer with Kelsi and without Sharpay, something he’s literally never experienced in his life—it feels too good to be true.

    (Alternatively, Ryan: “I showered in cold water, I looked at a tree. It's been three hours, I need hair product.”)

    Summary

    Several still shots in quick succession, the products of Sam’s camera: a smudge of the cigarette ash Poirot disdained as cliché. A pool of blood inside the white outline of where a body once lay, in approximately the location of its gut. An eerily distinct muddy footprint. Lodged in the center of the bloodstain, Sword in the Stone -style, a knife that appears to be made of nothing, an absence in the matter of the room.

    Dean tries to nudge it with the tip of his shoe, and his boot goes right through.

    Outside the room, a noise. Sam and Dean share a glance and exit the bedroom, guns ready.

    MAN: (looks around the living room, whistles) Guess I’ve got my work cut out for me.

    Unbeknownst to them, Sam and Dean investigate a murder on a scale unlike any they’ve encountered before. In order to solve the case, they first must solve the mystery of the true nature of the victim known as Chuck Shurley—a secret even his estranged kids are determined to keep. To complicate matters more, Sam finds himself on the brink of revealing dangerous truths about his own identity to the charming, irreverent stranger who claims to be Chuck’s housekeeper.

    Summary

    Cobb gestures to the other side of the booth, crutch hanging from one forearm. “You mind?”

    “The opposite,” Din admits, and it’s worth the way it makes him feel off-balance for how it lights Cobb up like a twin sunrise. And Din, he hurts, something fierce and raw from the ride here, the fight on the Imperial ship, the way he cut himself out of a monster on this very planet, some self-engineered resurrection; he’s unused to an ache that could ever feel good, but there it is around his heart, squeezing with a pressure that feels more safe than it does oppressive.

    (Can be read as a stand-alone.)

    Summary

    Gabriel’s button-down is the same dark blue of the janitor’s uniform he was wearing when they met. It looks good on him, but Sam belatedly thinks he should have chosen Gabriel’s clothes, hopes he’ll recognize the imprint of the urge under the light of day. Wants it like he wants everything, these evenings: he’s nothing but a collection of knives, like this, and Gabriel angling for an open wound.
