Summary
Liz didn’t notice her father frowning in the corner. She didn’t notice Mimi’s pursed lips. She didn’t notice the way her mother collapsed into the booth, unbalanced and clumsy.
She only saw her mother, bright, beautiful, happy. Que linda, Liz thought. She wanted to be just like her. -

Summary
Crouching down in front of him, Derek tilted his head, eyes raking over Stiles’ face, unfazed by the death glare he was receiving in return. “I really hope your father cooperates, Stiles. I don’t want to have to hurt you.”
Stiles scoffed in disbelief; that almost sounded sincere. "Oh right, like I'm gonna believe the mafia boss gives a shit what happens to the Sheriff's kid."
His heart was pounding in his chest beneath his false bravado, so loud he was sure even Derek could hear it.
Derek reached out as he spoke next, cupping Stiles’ chin in his hand. “Well it would certainly be a shame to ruin such a pretty face.” His eyes bored into Stiles’, heat rising in Stiles’ bones.

Summary
It didn’t hurt, the mark there. Touching it didn’t pierce through him or shock him; it just felt like something, someone, pulling at him. A constant tug, an anchor rope that led deep inside him and coiled tightly around his core. It felt like being needed and loved and trusted. It felt like Michael.

Summary
It was a process, taking Michael apart. It took time and it took patience, but that was something Alex had in spades.

Summary
Michael passed out in his truck a half mile from the junkyard, the fever panic of seeing Max’s lifeless body floating in that pod finally succumbing to the weight of days without sleep, to the adrenaline crash of weeks on edge.
He woke up to the frantic patting of Alex’s hands against his cheeks, to the shout of his name through the alarm beeping of a car door left ajar.

Summary
Her blouse is crumpled on the floor by the front door, and she can feel a heat finding her cheeks at the evidence of how quickly he’d gotten it off her, and, somehow worse, how many times he must’ve walked past it this morning. She can almost see it, that smug look on his face as he strolled by the mess of her clothes in his otherwise meticulous apartment, and just. It’s fine, Beth decides, grabbing her blouse off the floor, tugging it quickly over her shoulders. They’re both adults, she thinks, hands reaching for her buttons, they are mature divorcees (is he divorced? Was he ever even married?) engaging in - - in - - Beth pauses, looking down, and her eyes flutter shut in something like mortification.
All of the buttons barring the two at the top she never does up are gone, tiny, torn threads left in their place. The stark memory of him tearing her shirt open, buttons shattering across the floor like confetti suddenly alive in her head, and great, she thinks. Perfect. She’s stuck in his loft without her car and no shirt she can wear home.
Just.
Great.

“You wanna ever talk to me about a job before I’m apparently halfway through it?”
