Summary
“Sometimes,” Atin admitted, “I feel like if I don’t kill him I’ll die. I shouldn’t feel that way. I know it makes me a bad person.”
“I don’t think it makes you a bad person at all,” Laseema said. “I understand completely.”

Summary
The next time Jaing slept he had a dream—it wasn’t the next night, per se, he didn’t think, but the next time he slept deeply enough to dream he had a dream. Or it wasn’t exactly a dream, or it was halfway between a dream and a fantasy, something that bloomed right in the space between the thoughts that Jaing had and the thoughts that happened to him.
The dream and the effect it had on Jaing shattered any optimism he might have harbored, regarding the possibility of leaving behind forever what had happened with Sev in the tent in the rain.

Summary
Richie was lying awake when he heard a knock at the door. Nothing that wanted to kill him would have knocked, he thought, and quite honestly he didn’t really care either. So he got up and answered it.
But it wasn’t Pennywise the Dancing Clown back for another round after all. It was just Beverly, pale and bruised-up, her hair hanging lank and wet down her back.
“Hey, Richie,” she whispered. “Can I come in?”

Summary
Beverly screamed when she saw them. Then she covered her mouth with her hands and just stared, tears standing bright in her eyes. Bill stood up so fast his armchair jumped back, and beside him Mike did the same. Ben got up slower, a painfully hopeful look on his face.
“Surprise!” Richie said. “We lived!”

Summary
Richie opened his eyes. That was the first unexpected thing. He was underwater. That was the second.
The light was diluted and green. His vision was strangely clear, even though he was underwater and his glasses were nowhere. Eddie was drifting nearby, his eyes open and dark and fixed. Tiny silvery fish darted around his face, and a turtle swam ponderously between them and vanished into the green. Richie swam closer, scattering the minnows, until their noses nearly touched. Eddie blinked slowly and a tiny bubble, formerly trapped in his eyelashes, escaped towards the surface.

Summary
Megatron was certain that if he moved to trade physical or verbal blows with Starscream, he would only take them, and take them, and take them, until Megatron was forced to either kill him or grant him mercy.
Neither option was acceptable.

Summary
Elijah’s eyes twitched open. “I forgive you,” he mumbled.
“Don’t say that again or I’ll hurt you,” the demon said, kissing the side of Elijah’s head. “I don’t accept it.”

Summary
Michael gave him a look, one of his particular looks that involved a lot of eyebrow, and Colin wheezed with laughter that he struggled to control for a moment, taking a deep breath before he went on, “You really think he’s…”
Michael’s eyebrows made a second and equally expressive bid for his hairline, his mouth pursing into a smirk. “Yes homo, Jo-bro?”
“God, never do that again,” Colin said, muscling an expression of disgust through the grin that kept trying to take over his face. “Also, have you heard how bad he is at sex? From the horse’s mouth, Che. I’m not sure why I would do that to myself.”
“It doesn’t matter what he packs if he’s the one taking it,” Michael pointed out, leering. Colin, true to form, blushed.

"To die, to sleep--
To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause."

Summary
Sev did miss what he’d had with Atin. It hadn't lasted long and it had been years and years since then, and whole damn lifetimes inside those years, but he was sorry that it was over. He missed feeling in control of something, anything. He missed the understanding that they'd had. He missed -
But Atin had Laseema now. It didn't matter what Sev wanted. It didn't matter if Sev wanted.

Summary
“I knew I was going to come here,” Jaing said softly, “To you. I knew I wanted to…” He took a breath and shifted closer, ran his fingertip up the line of Sev’s bare foot, murmured, “To have you.”
Sev shuddered. His head throbbed, a burning pain behind his eyes. “You can’t,” he said, noted distantly that it came out in a ragged sob and added that to the list of ways he was pathetic and unworthy and deserved, probably, to die. “Jaing. You can’t.”

Summary
The bar tilted wildly in neon smears of light, noises bleeding together with the pounding beat of Jaing’s pulse through his skull. He just lay on the floor for a while. Nobody seemed to really care about him bleeding all over everything, so he didn’t bother trying to move.
Like, whatever.
