    Summary

    On the anniversary of Cole's death, Hank relapses hard into alcoholism and aggression, leading to a disastrous chain of events that upheaves far more than either of them thought possible.

    ---

    “Get the fuck out of my house!” Hank bellowed after it so hard that his throat hurt, just as the door to his room snapped shut. "Goddamn stupid tin can!"

    For a few moments Hank had been filled with vicious pleasure, and he'd pulled another long, deep draught from the bottle of Black Lamb on the floor by his bed. A few minutes of peaceful, forgetful, fogged silence later, the thump of the front door sounded.

    "'S just Connor going out to work..." The thought sprung automatically through the alcoholic haze dampening his mind.

    ...

    Just... Connor?

    ...

    ...

    Fuck.

    Summary

    Connor has a hard time expressing his emotions - it can make him seem cold and unresponsive sometimes, which is the last thing he wants. On the other hand, he does have a helpful mood light in his temple that he’s rather fond of, and more than any other part, Josh thinks it would be easy to upgrade…

    Summary

    Humans can go weeks without food. As long as they have access to water, some can even last months without biting into a hamburger or tasting the sweetness of strawberry jam on a biscuit hot out of the oven. There are drawbacks, of course, to skipping meals. Dizziness, fainting, weight loss too quick for the body to adapt to.

    It’s Astarion's first table of the day. The dull, slow thump of his heartbeat rushes past his ears. His knees buckle with every step. He’s falling apart, he knows this, but with ten cents in the bank and another few days to wait until his paycheck comes in, all Astarion can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and hope he doesn’t collapse. There’s no time to think about the metaphorical hand tightening around his stomach and throat.
