Summary
He crosses his arms around his chest, hunching over himself. "So, um. Is it... real different than bein' in a human body?"
It clicks at him again. There's an answering shiver in Yoshiki's ribs, a mix of fear and itchy curiosity. Against his better judgement he inches forward, lifting his hand into the space between them. The thing tracks his movements with a noiseless twitch.
"Do you feel other things the same, too? Like... if I touch you, can you feel it?"

Summary
The radio blares to life when the car first starts, a too-cheerful song playing too loud, before Kurebayashi fumbles it off. After that she doesn't try to turn it back on, or start a conversation. All they have to accompany them is the motion of the car bumping along the road, the flash of streetlights throwing shadows across their faces - and Hikaru, who wants to shrivel up and die.

Summary
'The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature, when those causes operate most powerfully, is astonishment; and astonishment is that state of the soul, in which all its motions are suspended, with some degree of horror… A mode of terror or pain is always the cause of the sublime.'

"If I come out," Hikaru says, "all the way, you promise you won't be scared of me?"

Summary
"You know," Hikaru says. "If the heat's too much of a problem, I can make myself colder. I could be, like, an icepack for you, if you want."

(About prey imagery, instinctive fears, sharing a bed, and the strange physicality of having a body.)

Summary
Sometimes he dreams, but it's gone as soon as he wakes, the fading fragments leaving him with only a faint impression of grief, or fear, or comfort. But the other nights - the nights when he dreams of blood, of fire, the ways the body can be rendered down by pain - those, he always remembers.

Summary
"Huh, Gabbro? What's wrong?" Riebeck asks, and Chert says with vindictive glee, "That's what I said!"
"Is it really so hard to believe that I'd call my two best friends just to see how they're doing?" Gabbro asks.
"Yes," they both say in unison.

Summary
Sokka knows that nothing between them can be out in the open. Zuko is still the Fire Lord - his position is too precarious to allow any scandal to creep in. Sometimes Sokka dreams that they've run away together, that it doesn't matter who they are anymore, and when he wakes and remembers the truth he lies there watching Zuko's sleeping face, soft in a way it never is when Zuko is awake, and wishes with all his heart that it doesn't have to end this way.
This is how you love someone untouchable; this is how it falls apart.

Summary
When Zuko brought up the idea of Sokka staying in the Fire Nation as a permanent representative of the Water Tribe, he wasn't thinking about all of the ways it could go wrong.
Zuko is emphatically not going to do anything about the way he feels. He's not going to stare at Sokka, and he's not going to spend any time alone with him, and he's definitely, definitely not going to think about what it would be like to hold Sokka's face in his hands.
Zuko's not going to do anything at all, because he can't shake the absolute certainty that that's the only way they both get out of this alive.

Summary
"If you can’t defeat Shoot, you must stay out of Gon’s life."
This is what Bisky told him, the thing that haunts Killua still, that echoes in his ears when he lies paralyzed in the dirt at Shoot's feet, when the tentative future he’d hoped for himself falls to pieces around him.
Killua will protect Gon for the thirty days Gon can’t use Nen. And then Killua will leave him forever.
It’s fitting, then, that that’s how long Killua Zoldyck has left to live.

Summary
The first time a attendant spills Zuko’s tea and doesn’t immediately fall to her knees, begging the Fire Lord’s forgiveness, it is not anger but a resounding warmth that fills his chest.
