Summary
He’s seemed… different, lately — he’s always a bit high-strung, tense and nervous, but Merritt’s seen him when he spills out of Lula’s bedroom with sparkly nails to match hers, or coming downstairs with the side of his hair in a braid — and there’s the hint of a smile that seems a little more natural, a little more delighted than anything else.
There’s something heavy in his gaze as he watches Lula on occasion, when she whips out her lipstick after dinner and touches up the smudges, or when Merritt gets downstairs and the two of them are on the couch — Daniel choosing his favourite eyeliner look for her to try on, something unreadable on his face.
It’s hard to parse out, sometimes — Merritt’s not always entirely sure what it is, but he sees the way Daniel’s eyes seem to get stuck on the little tin of makeup in Lula’s hands, the way the glitter seems to catch the light and reflect it back — and it’s not hard to figure out, all of a sudden.
—
5 + 1 of five times that they don't get J. Daniel Atlas' name quite right, and the one time that they do.

Summary
This was it. The final, insurmountable obstacle. The last, bright, loud, suffocating straw.
The exhaustion, which had been a dull roar, suddenly became a shrieking, white-hot siren. The overwhelming sensation of the past hour, the physical demand of standing upright, the itch of his clothing and the light in his eyes- it all compounded and exploded in his head at once.
The immediate, new stimulation was a physical assault.
AKA- Danny is overworked, overtired, and overstimulated. Practically the ingredients for a meltdown.

Summary
"Liar."
The word comes out as a low, broken hiss. Jack's face is draining of color by the second, his fingers pressed so firmly against the wall that he's surprised it's not crumbling from the pressure, but he lifts his chin defiantly. "You're…you're lying. No truce. Liar. There's nothin' in it for you, and you want us caught, so—no." He bares his teeth. "Not givin' them up. Gonna have to—to drag me out."
"I'm not lying, kid, I'm on your side—"
"You—you chased me down here." Jack's eyes narrow, sharp beneath the haze of agony. "Not on my side. I'm not giving you anything."
...
Dylan's perfect plan goes a little bit haywire when the fall down the garbage chute ends with Jack being too injured to walk. He pivots, of course, because he always does—but the Horsemen think their youngest member is dead, and Jack thinks that it's his fault that everything went wrong, and Dylan just hopes someone will listen to him long enough to make sense of this.
They're the Horsemen, though. They'll make it out of this just fine.

Summary
And then the deep, familiar feeling of sick dread bottomed out in his stomach. Nausea, something distant and not-quite-right feeling, curled through him and he faltered mid trick. He knew exactly what it was, the twisting sensation that made him dizzy.
He had time, he could get through the trick.
He would not fuck this up.
Or,
Jack has a seizure during a performances and only just makes it into the back room. Unfortunately, he hasn't exactly told the others about his seizuresobligatory "i do not have seizures, i do not know anybody who has seizures, and this is a slightly overdramatic portrayal" warning!
