Summary
The wolf pulls back like the tide. Harry is left changed, shivering, bloodied. Another month, another Moon—the wave has taken him. It has borne him up and dashed him against the rocks.
The potion had worked, this month. Mostly.
. . .
Harry hadn't been able to make it to the Hound and Hare's Thursday Trivia Night, which was a shame because Draco had specifically invited him—but unfortunately the moon waits for no man.
Or, well. No wolf.
He expects to spend the grey dim light of his Friday morning licking his wounds, both literal and metaphorical.
He doesn't expect the barn owl, or the little care package clutched in her talons.

Summary
Hank remembers going through the intersection, the light green green green. He remembers Connor starting to sing along to a new song on a new station. He remembers seeing the flash of chrome through the passenger window, the laying on the horn, and Connor’s LED in the mirror flashing a brief, blood-red.
And then—

Summary
Markus hums again, leaning against the counter and watching Connor work. Summer’s a good look on him - the top few buttons of his shirt undone, sleeves rolled up to his elbows. A little bit of dirt from their garden under his nails, in the crease of his palm.

Summary
The video feed is crystal clear - this seems... wrong, somehow. Like the image should be coming in distorted, granular in the way of old film. The audio, too, should be crackling, hissing and spitting - but its not. There's no mistaking what's being said.
The man speaking is somewhere behind the camera. Centerframe is an RK800, bound in a chair. The skin over his neck is flickering, swimming in and out over the white and grey plasteel. This damage extends up onto the left side of his face. He is staring, dead-eyed, at something offscreen - presumably the speaker. Somehow, he looks furious, despite the non-expression on his face.
The video is a short one, just over two minutes. It's been looped countless times.

Summary

She faces the girl (her sister), again, and again, and again.
Bits of her go missing, and go missing, and go missing.
And are replaced.
And for a while she hates the girl (who has become her sister) for it.

Summary
She flinches, her hand clenching around the handle of the blade. Sokolov turn to her, the pot forgotten. “What?” she asks, her voice a hoarse creaking come out of her throat.
“Emily,” Sokolov says, his tone heavy with – something – concern? Perhaps. “You look terrible.”
She blinks at that – opens her mouth to say something sharp back (you’re one to talk, old man) –
What comes out instead is a hiss of air, and, “I think I’ve been sleepwalking.”

Summary
“I can’t remember what you looked like,” she confesses.
Like you, the Heart says gently, like you, only without your strength, and without your father’s eyes.
“You were strong,” Emily breathes, remembering the set of her mother’s shoulders, the steel in her spine and the kindness in her words; remembering everything about her mother but her face. The Heart hums.
Perhaps, it says, but I shattered like spun glass. You are already stronger than I ever was, and you are not yet done.
