Summary
With the gift of Sight, Rumplestiltskin is overwhelmed by a thousand, thousand possibilities unspooling all around him. He sees Bae as a child, as a man, laughing, hurting, hating, forgiving. He sees Belle, come back to him, dead in his arms, choosing him, reviling him. So many possibilities, but perhaps the most unlikely one of all is this: that they both choose to see him in return. Him as he really is...and still they love him.

Summary
There are many ways to touch someone — through a hand on a shoulder, a platonic hug, a kiss that can break a curse…or a love that goes deeper, touches the heart buried beneath three centuries of pain and darkness, as well as her own heart, idealistic and compassionate. Belle falls in love with a touch, and with a touch her world is both destroyed and given beauty.

Summary
Control. What is life if not a constant battle for control?
So obviously, Parker needs control. But not just over power. When she can't have control over power, she has control over how much she eats; it's not the weight, it's just the principle of the thing, really. Over the pain she feels; raking her nails up and down her arm doesn't do damage, but it makes her feel, and that's what matters. Over who she is and how she reacts and what her environment is like.
Naturally, this causes some concern among Hardison.
On Parker, and learning the difference between of what she can, and what she should, be in control.

Summary
Maybe it's fear that he's tasting. Bitter like blood and slick like saliva, pooling at the back of his mouth. Its smell is like the chemical fumes of oil paint. Odd, because he's always preferred watercolor.
He tangles one hand in his hair, trying to remember the script. He's supposed to tell her that they'll talk later—just as soon as the weather improves, just as soon as Gale's condition is stable—and that the world will wait for them until then.
"Can you come over?" Peeta blurts instead.

Atmospheric and chilling and so subtly discomfiting that it both sneaks up on you and is so glaring! One of the best I've read in showing both what horrors Peeta went through and revealing his character!

Summary
He knew as soon as he woke that there had been a frost. The throbbing in his ankle made it clear before he opened his eyes. It didn’t matter that his house was warm – it was to do with the pressure, the change in the air that had woken him early and was going to give him hell for the rest of the day.
He never could bring himself to regret the leg, even on days like this. Without a shattered leg, he’d never have seen Baelfire. He’d never have been a father at all. It had always been worth it.
But he still had to face the day.

Such a tender, sweet story with some very palpable tension for its light tone. I love the pain Rumplestiltskin tries to hide, and the way Belle sees through him as always!

Summary
When he faces her again he has both hands pressed tightly over the knob of his cane, his long fingers white with the effort. "There now," he says. "A nice bath will go a long way toward setting you to rights."
