“It’s not coffee,” Meredith says with a half smile, gesturing at her to take it. “Just tea.”
Oh.
Amelia swallows, reaching out and taking the cup. It’s so warm, Meredith doesn’t mention the fact that her hands are still shaking, and the air is tinted with the smell of strawberries.
“Thank you.”

Summary
It’s another minute before Amelia feels a softer sort of weight as Meredith tugs a blanket over her. She’s half asleep now, giving in to the pull of it, and there’s a feeling of safe that she hasn’t felt in too long.
The two of them, they’ve grown up around so much violence, surrounded by so much death. Amelia has known for a long time that the world is not soft, that the world can be hard and brutal and painful.
But Meredith’s fingers are warm as she brushes her hair out of her face, her touch is gentle, and maybe this world is not so deadly after all.
or: i'm drowning in all these secrets, will you hold them for a while?

Summary
Addison sees a shock of dark hair, a red leather jacket that’s been missing from her wardrobe for months now, and her heart stumbles in her chest. Everything freezes in place, and all she can see is Amelia laughing in her blue prom dress, Amelia's smile over the morning coffee she loves so much, Amelia curled up on the bathroom floor at three in the morning with her head in Addison’s lap.
"Do you think the world is cursed?" The younger girl murmurs, still half asleep, and Addison thinks about it for a moment.
The morning hours are are quiet, like nothing else in the world exists, and there's a part of her that doesn't want to break the calm. Her back is pressed against the cool porcelain of the sink, but it't not yet uncomfortable enough to warrant moving as she brushes Amelia's hair away from her face.
"I think the world can be dark," she says eventually, "and terrifying. But I don't think that it's ever hopeless."
or: i clung to your hands so that something human might exist in all the chaos

Summary
Link walks away before she can open her mouth to explain, and she can taste sand and salt between her teeth as he brushes past her without a second glance.
He leaves, he leaves her standing there alone. He walks away.
Once he's gone, Amelia doesn’t move for a long time.
There’s a hollowed out feeling in her chest, and she thinks about Zola’s science homework, the one about neutron stars and the collapse of gravity and supernovas, and there’s a part of her that thinks she might understand that a little better now.
or: take my hand my love, i'll guide you homeSeries
