Summary
She wants to scream, she wants to hit something until it breaks. She wants to go home, but her home is fighting a losing battle on an old mattress hidden away in this tomb of a basement.
“I need you,” she says, but Joel doesn’t answer. So she wipes the tears off her face (again and again and again) and she opens her can of beans. She eats them cold.

Summary
Time slows and stalls and stops in its tracks like a rabbit frozen, or a deer, hoping the stillness will save them from the arrow already cutting through the air. It is ribs expanding, lungs burning, turning all to ice and stone. The moment lasts for a hundred lifetimes and it is gone in the very next beat of Wilbur’s rabbit racing heart.
“It was never meant to be,” Eret says, and the hands of the clock tick forward, the rabbit turns to run and the arrow finds its home.

Summary
“Y’all act like you’ve heard of me or something,” Joel says, aiming for dismissive and amused but missing. As soon as the words leave his mouth, he glances at Ellie and she reads his sinking dread as plain as she feels her own. A stone in the pit of her stomach.

Summary
The afternoon drifts by and he spends it sharing his prizes from the garden with Henry and pulling down the best pecan leaves for her when they run out of veggies. He runs around and plays in the creek while Henry snorts and moos from her spot in the shade. Hours slip past and by the time the sky darkens and Tommy is full from his apple and his sandwich, he finds himself dozing off against Henry’s warm belly.
He doesn’t know how much time passes when he wakes to a blinding light glaring down from the pitch dark sky above them. Tommy’s ears feel like he’s sitting at the bottom of the deep end of a pool and he thinks about the angel who scared all the shepherds when baby Jesus was born. His heart is thrumming and pounding and he’s waiting for a voice to tell him not to be afraid, but it never ever comes.
Henry makes a distressed noise and Tommy sucks in a breath to scream when everything goes white and then there’s suddenly nothing at all.

Summary
“In 1823,” Wilbur begins, “there was a murder.” The tone of his voice is somber, yet eerie, carrying the feeling of being seated in a circle of people you believed, at the time, to be your friends, one of whom holds a torch to their chin and recites their favorite of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. “Or, so the legend goes, at least."
"On the night of November 16th, 1823, there was a terrible storm. In the midst of it, from the Mandberg Manor, a maid came into town on horseback, calling for help. She reported an accident, but was unable to give the details, only begging the townsfolk to go quickly. When they reached it, the house was found to be in disarray, yet empty."
"And so it has remained, until tonight,” Wilbur finishes, a glint of something in his eyes as he turns to look at Tommy behind the camera.

Summary
"That was magic," Arthur accuses.
"Oh." Merlin just nods, looking unperturbed.
Arthur fights to keep his expression calm, mind racing and heart pounding. "Sorcery is outlawed in Camelot. On pain of death."
Merlin splutters, finally fixing Arthur with an affronted glare. "It's not like I meant to do it!"
***
Merlin gets hit with a spell meant for Arthur and loses his memory. Revelations ensue. Set sometime after 5x02.

Summary
“Thanks Fushiguro but I’d rather be alone right now.” Even in the middle of a breakdown, he tries his best to ensure Megumi doesn’t feel slighted. Ridiculous. Hearts like Itadori’s, crafted of gold-laced glass, are too fragile for this line of work. It makes Megumi’s ache in empathy.
Itadori, with his too-big heart, wouldn’t be in this position if not for Megumi.
“I understand,” he answers before promptly sitting in front of his friend. “But I’ve left you alone long enough.”

Summary
He can feel his heartbeat in his throat. The sun has disappeared behind encroaching storm clouds.
He’s demanding now. “Where is Yuuji?”
To his horror, Nobara’s mouth screws up in a twisted smile even as tears gather in her visible eye. There’s a yellow primrose tucked behind her ear that begins to bleed a bright red.
“Don’t you remember?” Her tone is too light, too jovial in comparison to her devastated expression. Megumi backs away from her with regret thick on his tongue but his retreat does nothing to stop her words now that he’s posed the question. “It’s his execution day.”
