Summary
“Curious?”
It locked eyes with her for just a brief second, weighing its options. Daisy partly wished she could see what was going on in its head, but mostly was glad she couldn’t. Just another excuse to drag the truth out of it kicking and screaming.
“I see how people are going to die.” It said, blurting the words out all at once, fidgeting with its fingers and shaking a little...
In which Daisy finds out a secret

Summary
Arthur, it’s a dark room. There’s a mirror on one side and I’ve seen the machine you’re in. It’s sickening. From behind you, there extends two long bars, elegant like folding wings, curbed and attached to the metal sticking into your chest. They took your shirt. There’s a lot of blood running down your middle, redness mixing in with your chest hair and drying crusted and black. In front of you is a jug of yellow liquid, suspended from two chains. We have to reach up to see it. I think I see the key.
…
Kayne wants to play a game.

“College? Were you at the blood drives?”
“No, my muse, after that.”
“So the hospital.” Sydney chewed slowly. The man in the mask gazed upon him with devotion. “I was hoping none of the demons from there would visit.”
“Oh my, but I’m not a demon, my dear!”
Sydney grinned, “An angel, then?”
They both shared a chuckle.
..
Sydney has a lapse of judgement. This is a mistake.

When the first drop hit the ground he snapped out of it. How many liters of blood could a twelve year old body lose before he was just an empty husk, like he had been drained by a vampire? And now the small puddle was spreading and getting everywhere and Mary would kill him if he bled all over the front steps. What was he thinking, using the handrail anyways?
He could support himself.
..
In which Gerry Keay sorely wishes someone else would hold the lighter.

“Ro? Do you need anything?”
Rowan knew how he looked, he wasn’t stupid. Clinging on to Juniper, probably soaked in sweat and tears by now, not looking at anybody, barely able to respond because nobody was listening when he spoke.
He shook his head. This was a lie.

The hour directly after the beginning of File44

“How awful of you to visit me,” Elijah sneered, nose wrinkling like he had smelled something especially bad. “What have you come to do? You’ve already restrained me, defeated my glorious ritual.”
The Architect stopped in front of him. Elijah stared up at him with a smile on his face.
“Nothing you can do now can possibly hurt me more than you have already.”
The Architect delicately put his journals on a nearby cot, turned again to Elijah, and punched him directly in the face.

Jedidiah snaps a little bit.

“FFFUCK YOU!”
Another bottle hit the dirt but this one didn’t have the decency to shatter. Simon paused for a second, vibrating with rage, before snapping. He picked it up and in one frantic movement he fell to the ground and began beating the earth with it, smashing the glass into one million fragments before shouting again incomprehensibly and beating the ground with his bloody fists.
This was five minutes ago.
He was fine now.

Summary
Usually Daisy had tunnel vision, staring straight ahead, seeing the world in red and blue and her next goal and the obstacles that prevented her from getting it. It was a strength that she knew helped a good deal in her job. Basira was the one who noticed things, the eyes to Daisy’s blinders, the calm instructions to her raw power.
Daisy wasn’t bad at noticing things, per say, but when she wasn’t hunting everything else seemed to blend into a blur.
This screaming, though. Well, even she couldn’t miss it.

Summary
It was a bright sunny day, perfect for a nap in the sun or a nap in the cabin or a nap in the utilities shed that nobody but Soren ever dug around in. Today, though, Juniper’s eyes were firmly open and for the last three hours, fresh air had been a memory of the past, replaced with the stink of fish and penguin and below that, the delightful cologne that Rowan was wearing.
Rowan paused before he opened the lavatory door. “Hey, today was… fun.” He turned back, soft eyes reflecting the entire universe caught within them. “It was nice having company.”
He turned the handle of the door and opened it to a beautiful orange sky.
Juniper was half a dozen strides out before he realized Rowan had dropped to his knees.
..
Juniper has no clue what to do, but he needs to do something.

Summary
It has been three hours since Sydney left on his walk. Jedidiah was achingly aware of every second passing. Three hours was too long for a walk, right? He thought the cap might have been two, maybe two and a half, but three was when it started to get concerning.
Three hours and one minute now.
..
In which Jedidiah does not panic and remains very level headed when Sydney disappears.

“Wait, what?”
Melanie’s hand quivered on the knife and she rested it on the table, staring at Jon as he continued talking.
“I think it’s… important… to keep personal matters out of the institute as much as possible, especially considering the thing it seems to be serving. And.” Jon leaned back, perhaps to get further from the knife, but also to run a hand through his graying hair. “I’d just rather people not know.”
“Stop talking.” Melanie said. Jon did, staring at her with an expression she couldn’t read. “When did I out you?

Melanie King realizes that she did, in fact, fuck up.

Jon looked bedraggled. Good. Tim stood in a pile of papers, staring directly at him, daring him to say one word at all.
“It’s eleven o clock.” Jon said, remaining silent about the mess.
“Sso?”
“Well, you’re not obligated to stay past five.”
“You’re here, aarent you?”
“I suppose.”

Melanie double checked to make sure the bathroom door was locked. Her hand was pale and sweaty around the handle of the awl. It could be over quickly.
“I can’t control the past.” She said out loud to nobody, inhaling, exhaling again. “I can’t see the future. I can only control the present.” It calmed her down, at least it made her laugh. “Sorry, LaVerne. You’d hate it if you knew why I was saying that.”

Summary
One time, when a shadow falls over the box, it doesn’t pass immediately. She tilts her head up and howls again, but no sound can come out of her scratched throat. There a kind of perfect, comforting warmth as something reaches in. She nuzzles against it, but it reaches past her. She feels one of the things who look like her being lifted up, into the cold abyss she knows is dangerous. For the first time in her life, she musters a bark. A real one. But she’s drowned out by the whimpering of the others.

Knock knock.
Ella sat staring at her ring camera. Her flat didn’t feel safe anymore, not since the doxings and the threats and the callouts.
Knock knock.
Electric blue hair, eyeliner that could have been carved on with a knife, ink rippling across muscles that still made E dizzy, even after all that had happened. She couldn’t believe they were here.
“Are you gonna let me in, or what?”

“Okay, weird awkward therapy question,” Melanie said after a while, “But when’s the last time you just… sat down and had a good cry?”
Basira thought. “December.”
”December?” Melanie asked with shock.
“2011.”

Aka, Basira does just that.

Summary
“Kevin, come back!”
Kevin knew this was a good hiding spot. He had spotted it the moment he had came into the house and stored it away in his head. It was just right between the dryer and the wall, behind the laundry basket and tucked away like a little fox in his den.
His lips betrayed him, trying to force into a smile – or maybe force out of a smile. He didn’t know which was wrong anymore, and Carlos would tell him to calm down and think about this but he couldn’t. He just couldn’t, alright? He couldn’t change, couldn’t heal, couldn’t get better. All he’d do was hurt those he cared about and smile until it didn’t bother him.
He felt tears come to his eyes and he furiously wiped them away because he didn’t cry unless he was regressed and he didn’t need- didn’t want to be regressed right now because then Cecil and Carlos would find him and be so nice to him (nicer than he deserved) and tell him everything was okay and that wasn’t true because it just wasn’t.
The day had started off so well, too.
..
Kevin becomes a little fox for a bit. This has unintended concequences.

“It’s supposed to be a stranger domain.” Jon said, looking around again at the wasteland around them. “It’s- it’s supposed to be a bunch of mirrors.”

Summary
She is older now and she realized she likes the fear. She likes the taste of it on her teeth, sharp and cold, like biting through a glowstick. She likes the whimpers and screams. Her teeth are bullets and she no longer bites to kill, she bites to hear screams and relish them.
She is told she is doing right, she is told she is so so good.
She is muzzled and leashed because she will bite her keepers.

Summary
Cold still bit at the tips of Ravenpaw’s ears and the joints of his paws where they had gripped the frosted grass. The autumn night was no place for him and yet that was where Barley had found him, walking forwards all trancelike and haunted and he still remembered not being able to control his own bones as they carried him forward, puppeted him around like a kit toy.
“Shhh. You’re awake now.” Barley said, his voice a deep grumble in his throat that Ravenpaw was clinging to. “Sleepwalking is normal.”
“It’s not.” Ravenpaw’s throat was scratchy and he thought his lungs might burst because when Barley found him he had woken in a panic and breathed so fast he was lightheaded and still shaking even in the barn where it was safe and warm and guarded and Barley was next to him and talking like he wouldn’t let anything bad happen ever again. “He knows i’m alive.”
..
Ravenpaw finds out how to leave the Web. Barley recounts how he left the Slaughter
