    Summary

    “We should go on a road trip,” Kris says.

    Ralsei blinks. Attempts to contextualize his surroundings: he is on the floor of Kris’s room. Various empty chip bags surround him. Kris is sprawled out at his side on their back. Their phone is balanced against a tissue box and currently playing a movie. Ralsei reaches out to pause it—Thelma and Louise. Right. He…remembers that. Halfway, at least.

    Kris says, “oh, did I wake you up? Sorry.”

    “No,” Ralsei says, “or, yes, or—I don’t know.” He pauses, swallows. “What were you saying?”

    “Me. You. Road trip.” Kris nudges him. “I don’t care where. Just—away. You know? We’re adults. Nobody can stop us!”

    Adults. Ralsei sure doesn’t feel it. Not here, in Hometown, where sometimes he has to catch himself, remind himself that yes, he’s safe here. That she won’t find him here. That he’s blocked her number and he has an entirely new one besides. That in four days, it’ll have been four years since he…

    “Okay,” Ralsei says, and he takes Kris’s hand. “Road trip. Let’s do it.”

    Summary

    Fig opened her mouth to speak but Ayda got there first. “Did I do something wrong? Should I not have said that?” She was prepared to leave if she had to. There was a worry starting to wrap itself around her shoulders that said she shouldn’t want this. That she shouldn’t want Fig to reach out and take her hand. That she shouldn’t want Fig to keep looking at her, even if she couldn’t look back.

    That she shouldn’t want Fig to kiss her.

    Summary

    When December Holiday stumbles out of the woods in the middle of a snowstorm seven years after her mysterious disappearance, disoriented and amnesiac, Noelle thinks her sister's return is a miracle. But her joy is not destined to last. Because when Dess came back, she didn't come back the same.

    The old Dess never used to sleepwalk. The old Dess wouldn't go out in the yard at night and start feverishly digging in the dirt with her bare hands. The old Dess didn't stand over her sister's bed, watching her sleep and whispering things in her ear.

    In the light of day, this new Dess can almost pass for the old one. But in the dark dread of night, Noelle becomes increasingly convinced that something is deeply wrong with her sister. Proving her suspicions will push Noelle to the limits of her sanity, and closer and closer to a horrifying truth: That sometimes, there are far worse fates than death.

    Summary

    “I absolutely will not - it’s ping-pong, Adaine - I couldn’t possibly be bad at ping-pong, I’ve just had poor luck, and it’s all too small.”

    “We can go play something else outside.”

    “Yeah, Fabian - I’m sure Jawbone’s got a basketball or something lying around.” Riz suggested.

    A glint of something mischievous flickered in Fabian’s eyes.

    “A basket...ball?”

    This, looking back, was the moment where it all went wrong.

    It happened in a matter of seconds - Fabian was grinning from ear to ear, and the realization hit Riz a second too late. Echoes of The Ball reverberated off the walls as the others pieced together what tom-foolery was about to happen, cheering Fabian on. His hands were reaching for Riz, to pick him up by the back of the neck like he’d done so many times before, like Ragh had done on that first day of freshman year.

    The second Fabian’s hands gripped Riz’s neck, the unexpected happened.

    Riz screamed.

    Summary

    “This is the Magnus Institute, not a creative writing course at university. If that doesn’t agree with him, he can leave.” There was a thud and the sound of rifling tapes. “He can take his bloody tea with him.”

    Martin’s fingers tightened on the saucer. Oh.

    -

    Martin knows better than to talk about it. It's fine. He's fine.

    Summary

    People don't really touch Jonathan Sims unless they want to hurt him. That's mostly fine. Jon has never been a tactile person, and he doesn't need anyone but himself.

    Except the world is falling down around him, and loneliness aches, and sometimes he'll take anything - even cruelty - just to feel human again.

    *A story set between s1 and s4, looking at Jon's relationship with touch, friendship, and his own humanity.

    She wanted to tell him to touch her too, though it felt silly.

    She didn't have anything to offer, she wasn't particularly good-looking, nor was there anything special about her.

    In fact, she felt more like an obstacle, if anything.

    Summary

    There's a cycle to the life of a Darkner.

    They're born, and from whatever hopes-and-dreams cobbled them together they get a role, static and unchanging. They play their role good, until they aren't needed anymore and are left forgotten, like all things that are outgrown. They don't want things beyond what they were made for, because they are not people: they are Darkners. They do not want.

    Ralsei can't stop herself from wanting, anyways.
