    Summary

    Reincarnation assumes that the nonphysical parts of our beings transmigrate to begin again after our passing; this rebirth can take many forms, including that of past-life soulmates, leading us to perpetually search for connections from previous incarnations of ourselves. When reunited with this person, an inexplicable feeling, familiar and magnetic, draws us together in profoundly wonderful ways.

    For some, this connection can manifest as an innate feeling of recognition. For others, this can be evoked through the senses, creating a feeling of nostalgia for something that never was but something that’s always been.

    For Colin and Penelope, two souls continually brought together through fate and drawn apart by circumstance, this connection can be terrifying, unexplainable, alluring, and electric.

    And, sometimes, all it takes is just a single touch to make one feel at home.

    Summary

    Ekko’s stride never faltered. He never even turned around, and the silence wrapped its fingers around Jinx’s throat. Had that really not worked? Did he really not care?

    “Nice shirt.”

    Never mind! Jinx was going to kill him.

    ----------------------------------

    Ekko and Jinx, childhood best friends, stopped speaking to each other two years ago, but they're forced back together for a long weekend thanks to Caitlyn and Vi's destination wedding. Can they survive a few days in the same room? Or will the swirling resentment(?) jeopardize the entire plan?

    (I know Anyone But You did not invent this trope, I just thought the title was catchy)

    Summary

    “You- you don't get to just leave,” Ekko continues, his voice unsteady. “You don't get to make me depend on you and want you, and you don’t get to go and- and do that! ” He gestures to all of Jinx. He knows it’s a cruel thing to say, and he enacts violence anyway.

    They stare at each other blankly. Ekko knows he's said too much for once.

    Jinx breaks the silence with a hushed whisper. “Why are you being like this?” she asks.

    “Because-” Ekko pauses. He considers their life together- the smiles, the longing, the despair- “Because I love you,” he concludes, and the two of them declare a cease-fire for the day.

    --

    It's about her memory unwavering, caught in the gaps of Ekko's fingers.

    Summary

    ‘What do you mean he’s leaving?' Coco says.

    ‘I’ll be back tomorrow,’ Hector assures her, taking her hand and nodding eagerly, repetitively, a gesture that belays his youth. ‘I’ll be back tomorrow, I promise.’

    Imelda stands tall in the doorway, her arms crossed across her chest. Her shoulders aren’t hunched - of course not - but there’s something in her stern face, the stubborn purse of her mouth. Coco blinks.

    They’re not together, she realises slowly.

     

    Or: despite the truth being revealed, Coco’s parents haven’t resolved their issues before her arrival in the land of the dead. She intends to fix that.
