    Summary

    “Talk to me, Lingling,” she says in an almost whisper. Your name sounds like an out of tune chord, flinching.

    You inhale a deep breath, holding it for as long as you can before they start to burn. She waits patiently. Exhaling, you answer, “I don’t know if I can, Nong Orm… I don’t know if I should.” Your eyes sting so you squeeze them shut.

    “You have to, Ling, because I don’t know if I can keep doing this,” you hear Orm say, her voice sounding like how your eyes feel. Wet. “This week has been hard for me.”

    or Lingling is having a tough time with her feelings and she just has to suck it up, because what is life if Orm isn't in it?

    Summary

    Ling laughs, and Orm realizes with a jolt, like a careless hand disturbing the butterflies in her stomach, that this is the first time they've said more than greetings and pleasantries as nothing but themselves. There had been the joint casting that decided it all, but that was it. She'd mourn all the jokes she could've made to make Ling laugh like that, except now, here, it seems like all they have is time. She grins.

    Or: Orm never planned to fall in love, but that doesn't mean she regrets it.

    Summary

    A retelling of the aftermath of their fight in Episode 5.

    What if Suzie had not come to Earn's house that night? What if something traumatic had happened to Earn during the two years they were separated? What if, left to her own devices, Earn did something drastic to the point of no return?

    Can Fahlada save her, or will it be too late?

    Summary

    There, printed clear as day at the top of the search engine page, together with a picture of the woman whose daughter she is meant to be coaching for the foreseeable future: Danielle Clayton is a retired American figure skater. She is a three-time U.S. national champion, and a one-time world bronze medallist.

    Bloody hell.

    “You didn’t think to tell me that I’d have to teach the U.S. national champion’s daughter?!”

    or: jamie steps in to coach the kids at the ice rink after rebecca gets injured. flora's mother looks awfully familiar. jamie’s sure she’s seen her before, even if she can’t seem to remember where.

    Summary

    "and jamie isn’t even sure what happens here, some chronological sequence of dani shutting her eyes and surging forwards and crashing into jamie with the force of a tempest uncaged, but she doesn’t quite get to grasp those details because—
    their lips meet.
    jamie feels as though she has swallowed the sun raw."

    Summary

    “The woman was nonchalant with that little smirk on her face, hooked at one end in such a way that it kindled a glimmer in those eyes that Dani could never miss nor forget. Her gait was no faster than a saunter, exhausted yet collected as she trudged up the steps, hand lax against the railing. Really, she was simple. There’s nothing that remarkable about a tired woman walking up the stairs, but it shocked Dani to her core.”

    OR

    Dani Clayton and Jamie Taylor are two strangers who live in the same building. One morning, they make eye contact, and it ignites a spark between them that grows over the days that follow.

    Summary

    dani’s heart lurches as she grabs jamie’s arm. this whole idea is stupid, and ridiculous, and unrealistic, but something about it is sparking in her mind. some vague vision of standing with jamie in the middle of nowhere, of road trips and sitting in the back of her truck–

    of being with jamie. whatever that might mean.

    Summary

    The first time you change that script in your head, another night, another time, is right now. This is one of those moments, you realize, that lasts seconds and can change your life if all you do is sit in silence.

    Tonight, you think instead. Now.

    It has to be. Because if you don’t do this now, if you reassure him tonight, you don’t know if you will get another chance. You’ll only break this even more in the long run.

    But it breaks worse than you ever thought it could.

    Or, a Dani Clayton character study mapping just how Jamie had the power to pull Dani’s ghost from the mirrors.

    ‘And she is so scared because she never had a good example of parenting, and she doesn't really know what it looks like to be an adult in that way. She wonders though, if anyone really does, and you assure her you don’t have any of the answers either. She tells you that kids were never in her cards, never in her plan, but she wouldn’t mind figuring out the answers with you.’

    'And maybe you can’t understand peace just yet, but you can understand boring, and maybe they’re not unlike one another all that much. As the buds of your moonflower dwindle, you find yourself staring at the stars with them, wondering why you can’t bloom for the hell of it too.'

    Or, Dani isn’t ready for company, Jamie thinks a lot, gets a cat, and learns what peace can mean, and they both take a year to grow.

    Summary

    “It’s not that the words aren’t true. They are. But the thought of ever actually allowing Dani to read them—to know that Jamie, her friend and colleague, has been having pornographic fantasies about her is disastrous.

    God, she’s really far gone, isn’t she?”

    Summary

    Dani stares into the calla lilies, admiring the contrast of ivory spathes suddenly blushing deep violet around the spadices delicately protruding from their cores. They’re a bashful sight; shy, secret, and vulnerable. Yet completely hopeful — even from the protective embrace of their gentle petal sheaths — for a chance to proliferate. Affection and yearning coil like a mass of vines through Dani’s chest as she thinks, in awe, about how incapable they are of hurting anyone.
