Summary
When she could think at all she wondered what it would be like to have some one with her who could sympathise—some one who really cared—just to hold her hand tight, if nothing else—some one just to say, “Yes, I know. It’s dreadful—be brave—you’ll soon be better;” not some one merely fussy and alarmed. Not her mother or Cousin Stickles. Why did the thought of Barney Snaith come into her mind? Why did she suddenly feel, in the midst of this hideous loneliness of pain, that he would be sympathetic—sorry for any one that was suffering? Why did he seem to her like an old, well-known friend?
In Valancy's Blue Castle, another of her hidden dreams comes true to put another mote of dust on her dust pile

Summary
In one variation of her life and its story, Emily Byrd Starr will decide she can settle for a crippled and broken-winged happiness in place of the wild, free-flying happiness she once dreamed about.
There are more than two ways of being happy, however, along with a dozen or more ways of loving, as yet some other variation of her may still learn.

Summary
It’s the ringtone.
The ringtone that Emily thought wouldn’t transfer phones. She hadn’t gone through her contacts in years, in a decade maybe, and she didn’t think she would ever hear this ringtone again.
[Emily, Teddy, Ilse, and Perry meet at Shrewsbury University in 2007. A decade and change later, Emily gets a call]

A Temptation to Violence by Fabular_Mr_Fox

Summary
“Strangling is quicker and cleaner and makes no noise to speak of.”
“Yeough!”
“You have a nice throat for it,” pursued his lordship, thoughtfully. “It has a kind of arum-lily quality that is in itself a temptation to violence. I do not want to be run in by the local bobby for assault; but if you will kindly step aside with me into this convenient field, it will give me great pleasure to strangle you scientifically in several positions.”
