Summary
Nicolò looks sheepish. "I killed you yesterday, and you awoke at the same time, the same place. But when I die, I wake at different times, different places. This bolt," he tosses it to Yusuf and it lands in the dirt by his knee, "it killed me yesterday, but I woke up many years from now. I lived several lifetimes in those places before returning here and pulling it from my neck."
Nicky's lives and deaths are different. He is unstuck from time - at every death he revives into a different point in his life. Each time he is struck down he wonders, will he awaken to deserts and swords? Will it be gunshots in cities? Joe and Nicky build a fractured life together, falling in love across two different sets of centuries, then patiently waiting for the other to fall in love too. He meets the rest of their little family out of order, but they still build a family around Nicky's involuntary time-traveling.

Summary
Between seven adults, even ones as severely damaged as they are, there's got to be at least enough common sense to mimic one semi-functional, competent human. Post-season one, Klaus and his siblings travel around in their own pasts, sort out some of their shit, and relive the week of the apocalypse one last time.
This time, they get it right.

Summary
Holtzmann's voice came a bit muffled from the other side of the door. "No it's not that, I just forgot a towel is all."
Erin almost laughed. "Why couldn't you just get out and get one yourself then? I don't take you for the type to care about some water on the floor--I mean I'm anti-floor water but I'm me so--"
Holtz cut her off. "That is a fantastic suggestion Ms.Gilbert, I would have 100% done that but you see, I have a piece of highly unstable machinery situated right next to the bathtub and it may or may not implode and bring down this entire establishment with a single drop of water."
"WHAT??"
or the one where Holtzmann should really stop putting nuclear weapons where they pee.

Summary
"They aren’t the same as her legos - she got a whole box for her fifth birthday! - because they don’t stick together, which she thinks is disappointing because it means she can’t build the same things she usually does. She frowns, staring at the pieces and trying to figure a way to hold the blocks together the way she wants. She sits cross-legged with her elbows digging into her knees and her fists digging into her cheeks, pout etched onto her face as she glares at the blocks. She wants to make them better."
Or, how a 32-year-old woman ends up saving New York City from the ghost apocalypse.
