    Summary

    Love is a game everyone plays. When you start “talking” to someone you’re interested in, you start a domino effect of flirtation and texts to knock the other party into falling for you. A simple 3 AM text is not all it seems—it is an open chess board, ready for you to play your moves and checkmate their heart. If you’re not careful, the other person can string you along one emoji at a time.

    Yes, love is a game. It was a game that came easily Kageyama. But how do you play the game with someone who doesn’t know he’s playing?

    Or: Kageyama plays the game of love and learns some vulnerability along the way.

    Summary

    When you lose someone you love, you'd do anything to get them back. Some will scream at the sky, pound at the casket, or sob quietly in the darkness of solitude. Sometimes, heartbroken kids will even attempt human transmutation.

    Trisha is not lost. She lives on in her children.

    Summary

    It’s hard to wake up from a dreary routine, but when Lup’s job fell out from under her, she was electrified with an idea. Something that was worthwhile, something that felt real.

    The only tricky part was finding people willing to show off everything that made them “weird”, out in the open, vulnerable to criticism.

    But if she could do it, by God, she’d have the show of the century.

    Summary

    “Max—” David snatched the phone out of Max’s grip. “I’m not going to ask her out again. She told me she wasn’t interested, and I’m going to respect her wishes.”

    Max almost tore out his hair. Instead, he jumped on top of his chair. “Goddamnit, David! She is obviously into you! You’ve got to stop being so considerate all the damn time!”

    Summary

    No, Jeremy wasn't doing okay. Not at all. He still felt like the SQUIP was there, critiquing his every move. And he sure as hell was not getting a good nights sleep anymore. Every day he woke up tired. Every night he turned out the light and never expected to get more than a couple hours of sleep.

    Not like he was going to tell anyone. Not even Micheal.
