No matter what, no matter how shitty, the day’s gonna end at some point, even if it takes its sweet fucking time getting there.
Or...
One by one, everybody goes the fuck home.

“Those…those are the cases that’ll stick with you, I guess. There were a lot of those today.”
“Tell me about it.” Trinity shakes her hair out of her face. “I’m tough and I kinda feel like a steaming pile of shit, so, can’t imagine how you’re doin’ over there.”
“...Not great.” Dennis answers. “You think every shift’ll be like that?”
“Iiif we’re lucky!” Trinity runs a red light, ignoring the way Dennis jumps at a loud honk from their right.

Summary
Mobius's patience runs out, and in his eagerness to close the gap he mashes his nose and jaw into Loki's, making Loki wince. Mobius pulls back, cringing. "Sorry, sorry didn't do that right—" he mumbles, seeming ready to give up just from that, but Loki grabs his tie, tugs him closer again.
"Can…can we try again?" Loki whispers, trying and failing to sound normal about any of this, to act like someone who doesn't want this far more than they probably should.
Mobius inhales, seems to sense the shaky desperation in Loki's voice even as Loki does his best to smooth out the ripples. "—Okay."

Summary
"I don't think…" Kendall trails off. His shoulders hang heavy.
"You don't think, or you do?" Stewy asks, the usual smooth scale of his voice a little softer, like he's talking Kendall off a ledge somewhere.
"I think I'm pretty fucking hollow."
"Yeah. My voice echoes when I talk to you." Stewy agrees, leaning a little closer and knocking his shoulder into his. "That's okay."

Summary
The memories of those visits tend to blend together in Joel’s mind, a soft-focus blur of tastes and sounds and particularly memorable jokes, usually told by Frank. Joel remembers the year that Tess had gotten her hands on some Elton John sheet music and Frank had point-blank asked if she thought all gay men liked Elton John, pretending to be legitimately offended. Tess had apologized profusely, something she rarely did, until Frank had cracked and, face splitting open wide, had admitted that he actually is pretty fond of Honky Chateau.

Summary
The crimsoned world around them lurched as Hermann fell forwards into Newt’s chest, thoughts looping in figures of eight and senses fragmenting as the drift pulled itself apart. He could hear an insect-like chittering, a bizarre clicking sound that seemed to travel up his spine and burrow into his skin.
“This is what it’s usually like.” he heard Newt say distantly, voice awed and all hints of terror gone. “I missed it.”

Summary
It’s the eve of her wedding, and Elizabeth can’t stop looking at a dead leaf…
What if Victor's aim had gone astray by a few inches? What if the Elizabeth who lay in the Creature's arms as he carried her out of the mansion was not dying but only injured?
Far from polite Victorian society, alone with the Creature who refuses to let her die, Elizabeth must grapple with a forbidden desire that somehow feels like both sin and salvation.
And something inside her, long kept in darkness, finally starts to bloom.
(Or: Elizabeth meets the Creature again, and what we all want happens.)

Summary
"“It’s ok, baby girl,” he says in a breath as he shuts his eyes, trying to keep himself upright against a surge of heartache. He hears the words as if someone else has said them, like they didn’t leave his lips – but immediately feels the truth in it. The wall he’s tried to keep up between Ellie and Sarah, the nothing-but-bullshit line he’s drawn to try to somehow separate what they are to him is gone. There’s no more pretending. She’s his to take care of – that’s how she ended up here shaking and bleeding, after all, isn’t it?"
