    Summary

    Taking a fortifying breath, Gwyn decides just out with it. She’s never been the type to beat around the bush or shy away from things, so she won’t start now. She meets his expectant gaze.

    “Azriel, you know my history.” His eyebrow quirks slightly.

    “Yes…”

    “And you’ve been training me now for a long time.” He nods, encouraging her to continue.

    “I trust you.” His eyebrows raise and he swallows.

    “That’s good, Gwyn.” His voice is soft. His eyes jump between each of hers, and his shadows vibrate anxiously, not used to be being a step behind.

    “I’ve decided that I’m ready to learn about the ways of intimacy. And I want you to be the one to teach me.”

    +++

    Gwyn feels safe with Azriel in a way she hasn't experienced since that horrible night in Sangravah and she realizes that he may be the only male that she'll ever be comfortable being intimate with, so she decides to ask him to train her in a new arena... if you know what I mean.

    Summary

    If she’s being honest with herself, the real problem is that every time she looks at those pink stripes, she’s back to that night in December, Joel’s sharp words ringing in her ears, sure as hell ain’t your dad, come dawn we’re going our separate ways, sitting on that window seat with her knees hugged to her chest for hours afterwards, staring at the wallpaper and waiting and waiting and waiting for him to come back and tell her that he changed his mind, that he’s not leaving her.

    She knows how the story ends, she knows that even though he never apologized, he did wait for her, he didn’t leave her, but those stupid pink walls keep reminding her that everyone leaves her eventually.

    When emergency home repairs kick Ellie and Joel out of their house in Jackson, they temporarily move in with Tommy and Maria. One could say it's a full house. (Featuring Miller Family Bonding and Ellie's abandonment issues and a nonzero amount of Lord of the Rings references.)

    Summary

    "I cut off my fingers."

    Joel wills himself to look at her hand before reacting; her finger, while bloody and needing stitches, is very much still on her hand. “No, baby, you didn’t cut off your fingers."

    “I did, I did” she chants lightly. “I did. I cut off fingers. It's what I do. Ears, too. Like Monet. No? Van Gogh.” She looks at Jesse: expression blank, shaking shoulders, mouth in a soft frown. “The nose got real crooked. His eyes were closed, but they probably popped like raspberries.” Jesse’s face goes pale and he looks Joel’s way, silently begging for help. “No, wait. Grapes. Right? Do they pop like grapes, Joel?”

    “Baby," his voice breaks as he watches her tremble and bleed. "Look at me, huh?” He shakes her a little, not having the heart to pinch her arm to try and bring her back. “Right at me. We’re gonna fix you up. Trust me.”

    For a moment she stops shaking, eyes on him. Searching his face for a lie. Almost expecting it.

    But he knows he only has himself to blame.

    or;

    Ellie, Joel, and the weight of their lies as they settle into Jackson.
