Summary
Thursday I head to work. It is not any special day, not any special week, just a day in which a new passenger arrives in the corner of my eye, and I see her sitting on the other side, hand braced on steel pole, bracelets jingling in time to the rattle of the tracks. Her eyeliner is slightly uneven, her hair not quite pinned properly in place, her teeth uneven in all the places mine are, which I only notice because she smiles as she chats on the phone, scarred back of her ring finger curled around the case of her phone. Mason, Mason, her mouth seems to sound out, and by the train slides into the next stop she’s gone.

Fandoms: Searching For A World That Doesn't Exist - Wifies (Web Series)

Summary
The universe bursts outward, The Earth is born 4.54 billion years before the present moment, lightning and ocean and turbulent lifelessness (his brain is lightning and ocean and it aches behind his eyes). Protobionts form, miniscule shapes, the children of the world learning how to be alive, mimicry of the modern cell. Plants and animals and fungi and everything else, everything else, everything blooms. Humans crawl from somewhere within the chaos. He knows their names. He knows their faces.

Summary
The walls practically drip with money, silver and gold lining the frames of oil paintings, all lit up by the glow of a radiant chandelier that hangs from the center of the impossibly tall ceiling. Near the ceiling, the tops of the walls are lined with glass in coppery-golden frames, arranged in soldered patterns like an artistic depiction of stars in supernova. The ballroom, despite its size, feels almost claustrophobic with the sheer number of guests and suitresses crammed in this evening—the evening of Prince Megatronus’s coming-of-age into becoming Megatron, ruler of the kingdom of Kaon.

It’s Prince Megatronus’s birthday. This, of course, means he needs to pick a bride. If Jazz does her job right, he may not need to make that choice anytime soon. He won’t be able to. -

Summary
Jonas pedaled alongside Asher on his bike, the metal machine rolling steadily forward with every push. As they turned a corner, dark eyes met his pale ones for just a moment. Asher smiled, and Jonas thinks he did too, though he can barely remember. Everything’s foggy, like his memories are fading away, replaced by the new ones he receives each day.
Then, they were home, diverging paths as they did every evening.

“I apologize for inconveniencing my learning community,” Asher had said, watching the grins of the students. He then focused on Jonas’s recognizable smile, the one of unconcealed amusement.
