Summary
“I’m fine,” Mal replies, pushing herself off the wall as if to prove her fucking point. The words are so familiar that it hardly even registers as a lie to her at first. How many times has she insisted she’s fine when her blood is staining the inside of her clothes? When her heart is threatening to crack wide open and summon storms that rage forever?
How often has Jay? Or Carlos? Or Evie? Or any other kid on the Isle of the Lost? Mal isn’t special. This one—“I’m fine.”—is a lie they all tell. To each other, to themselves. So it doesn’t count as a lie; it’s just a reality that has to be rewritten for them to survive.
She tells herself that over and over again, as if it makes any difference at all.

Summary
JJ opened one eye at her and smirked, “Somethin’ botherin’ you this fine evening?”
“Oh, you know, just homeless, hungry, poor, no family, and John B and I got in a fight ‘cause he keeps acting so weird … other than that, everything’s just peachy.” Sarah looked at him, turning her head to see him looking at her with a sad expression. It was an expression she’d never only really seen on JJ once before, it was a face of recognition.
“Welcome to the club,” JJ pulled his hat down over his eyes as he said, “too broke to be Kook, and apparently now, too orphaned to be a Pogue.”
Or, Sarah doesn't go with Topper. Instead, she goes back to the chateau where she finds JJ waiting for John B to come home.
OR Sarah chose one small different path that changes the trajectory of every one of the Pogue's lives.
or... Sarah just really ships Kie and JJ and will be JJ's therapist if it means he stops being an idiot and tells her he loves her. Lots of jiara, lots of pogues being pogues.
