    Summary

    “Iceland.” Hopper says abruptly, interrupting the silence.

    “What?” Mike asks, confused by this sudden outburst. He sits up and glances over at Hopper, who is fiddling with his thumbs.

    “You should go there, to Iceland. There’s a small village in the south, it’s called Vik, you should go.” Hopper says, his voice is firm but his hands are still fiddling.

    “Iceland? Wha- I don’t understand.” Mike says. Hopper leans in closely, an urgent look dawning on his face.

    “Mike, trust me. Go spend a few weeks up there, I promise it will do you good. I think, if you’re lucky, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for.”

     

    Post-finale fix it where Mike travels to Iceland by Hopper's suggestion.

    I wrote most of this before the finale so it doesn't exactly line up with canon, but my guess was pretty close so hopefully it doesn't effect the reading experience too much :P

    Summary

    “What do you mean you didn’t get me a ticket?”

    Ron’s hand flew to the back of his neck, massaging a red splotch just above his collar, flushing out his freckles. “I mean, I—well, it’s not like you enjoy Quidditch all that much.”

    “I went to every match you or Harry played in at school.”

    “Quidditch is my hobby, not yours.”

    [In which Hermione dumps a Quidditch fan and dates a Quidditch player instead. Spite is a beautiful motivator.]

    Summary

    "I thought about just packing them up and saving them," she says, stepping back to survey her work. "But I had a spare bowl and—and the perfect spot. And I… well, I thought it would be nice to keep them out."

    The zodiac figurines, her mother's picture, Kyo's beads—they're all carefully arranged now, side by side on her shelf.

    All these things, laid to rest.

    Kyo and Tohru, after the curse breaks.

    Summary

    Kyo's laughter ceases, and Tohru wishes she could take it back.

    She'd take back her words. She'd take back all the cuts and wounds she's reopened tonight. Maybe she'd take back ever climbing up to the rooftop in the first place.

    It was stupid to think it'd make him happy, or hopeful—when her own optimism is like cracked glass. The temporary joy of talking about silly little things, about their feelings, about a future—it always comes back to sadness, to grief, to another life cut short.

    Everything coming to an end.

    Summary

    Back then, Kyo took her in from a distance. They had to lean closer, inch by inch and excuse by excuse, mouths meeting in the center of the bed. But they sit like this now because they're too entangled, pressed together in almost every way. Everything is just a little too warm, heat building under Kyo's clothes. There's nothing but silent breaths and unspoken words keeping them from closing the gap.

    From crossing a line. They cross so many lines, nowadays.

    --

    Kyo comes over to Tohru’s bedroom to do homework together, and he waits—to see how long they can pretend that everything is normal.

    Summary

    If someone told Tohru the day she moved into Shigure’s house that, one day, she and Kyo would be fuckbuddies, she would’ve blushed furiously and then told them, in the kindest way possible, that they were absolutely out of their mind.

    And yet.

    Here they are.

    --

    Kyo and Tohru continue to avoid their feelings, but now they’re having sex so it’s a bit more challenging.

    Summary

    He does something entirely unexpected then, lifting up her hand and pressing a light kiss to the ridge of her knuckles. Fear flashes in his eyes after he does it.

    “I don’t wanna talk about that,” he says, dropping her hand.

    And Tohru thinks of that time last year, talking about wishes on the roof—and her only wish right now is that he would kiss her again. She’s never kissed anyone before, and she supposes that wasn’t exactly a real kiss... but butterflies erupt in her belly now, and she wishes she could put the feeling into words—but it leaves her speechless. As stupid as it makes her feel.

    --

    With the Cat’s confinement approaching, Kyo and Tohru attempt to avoid their feelings as ineffectively as possible.

    Summary

    Penelope woke up alone. Alone and in her childhood bedroom. For the third day in a row. Her hand slid down to her lower abdomen. The life that was supposed to be fluttering there did not exist yet and neither did the beautiful children that she had already given birth to.

     

    She had three days to accept that something had happened that had sent her back to just before her first season. She wished she had more time, but with having to wake up every day in the wrong house, the wrong bed, without her husband and children—Penelope had to accept that her current present was her new reality.

     

    No matter how often she cried every morning, hours before Rae came to get her ready for the day.

    Summary

    “Hey,” Colin said sheepishly, anxiously brushing his hand behind his neck. “I’ll take your virginity if — you know — if you want me to.”

    Platonic sex, sex between friends, friends having platonic sex.

    It won’t be a problem, right?

     

    Or the classic: ‘I’ll take your virginity but don’t fall in love with me” finds everything they’re looking for in a person who ‘just wants to get over with having sex for the first time so they can get over the mental hurdle and start dating around.”

    Summary

    Wednesday has never seen the appeal of sex. But with her peers constantly prattling on about their crushes and boyfriends and girlfriends and the activities they supposedly get up to, she is becoming more and more conscious of the fact that her stance is based on theoretical knowledge only. In the interest of scientific rigor, it behooves her to gain practical experience and make a study of the effects of various carnal acts on herself. And there is only one person whom she could fathom in the role of her tutor.
