Summary
“Oh my God, hey,” Syd grabs him by the shoulders, slightly freaked out. “Carmy — are you okay? Please tell me your tetanus shots are up to date, ”
Carmy laughs, sticky and gooey. “I don’t have tetanus, Sydney,” he says. “Everything fell into place when I met you. I just love you a whole lot.”
There’s a full beat of silence wherein she blinks in disbelief.
This guy.
“You’re a fucking idiot, Carmy. Absolute idiot,”
Loving Carmy is easy, Syd realizes

Summary
Matt and Sister Maggie talk in the Lord’s stomach.
The basement walls of the Church echo and ache. Water drips unevenly from the sink, still faintly smelling of blood and mucus. Matt’s feet throb from standing and the cool night air slips in through cracks in the brick.
Sister Maggie’s pulse thrums steadily. Her voice does not waver.
“Can you be trusted to be back on your own?”Or, Matt in the aftermath.

Summary
“For fuck’s sake, your chatter is going to drive me crazy faster than this stupid spell.”
“Then you talk!”
“There’s no point!” Jason snaps. “I can feel it, okay. It’s—there’s no emotion behind it, it’s not using my thoughts. It’s just a bunch of weird Greek echoing in my brain and a compulsion to act. And it’s getting stronger. Talking isn’t going to slow it down.”
“Then what will slow it down?”
After five long seconds of silence, Tim gives into the urge and viciously jabs his fist into Jason’s leg for the second time.
“Goddammit, why?” Jason snaps, green briefly sparking in his eyes before disappearing just as quickly.
“You are not seriously going to just sit there and wait to die.”
“The hell do you care anyway?”
“Because I don’t want you to die! Obviously!”
“You fucking should.”

Summary
Dick ignores him, continuing to stare out the window. A chickadee perches on a tree branch to preen its feathers.
“I made some calls this afternoon. I’ve got the best people money can buy working on this. With a few years of physical therapy, you should be close to back at full mobility.” When Dick says nothing, Bruce moves to stand between Dick and the window, blocking his view. “I understand that what you’re going through is difficult. I get that. But I need some kind of feedback, here.”
Dick snorts, turning his venomous gaze to Bruce’s stupid face. “Yeah? You had no issue making my decisions for me before.”
Bruce scowls. These past days seem to have aged him ten years. “I’m not arguing with you about this. Leslie cleared you to go home on Tuesday. You’ll need to take it easy for a few weeks while the site heals, but it will do you good to be home. Your siblings are excited to see you.”
“I’ll bet they’re jumping for joy,” Dick says sarcastically. “Forgive me if I don’t join in.”

Summary
“You were told to take the day off,” Chef points out, “And then you show up at the backdoor with no fucking shoes on. You’ve been fucking shit lately. Multiple people tell me that you don’t make any sense half the time. Why else would that be?”
Carmy swallows. He wants to explain it: that he knows. That he’s good at this. That it’s not his brain that’s falling apart, just his body, just his hands, just his family, just his life. He can’t get the words out. They sit at the back of his throat and Carmy swallows them because he already knows that they’re shattered, and he refuses to sound like a fucking second grader in front of Chef.
“Berzatto, either everyone’s hallucinating or my sous is fucking up his recreational drug usage,” he says. “The first would be a medical miracle. The second would be a Tuesday.”
OR: In the weeks following Mikey's death, Carmy's sleepwalking gets worse. When he ends up outside of the restaurant on his day off, things get unbearable.

Richie is in the passenger seat. This is not by Carmy’s choice.
“Don’t think I didn’t notice you skippin’ family, again,” he said as they finally closed up, chucking his keys at Carmy’s head and barely missing his eye. “You’re driving. I can’t get caught up in any more shit after that assault nonsense.”

"Carmy?"
It smells like gas. There is something wet on his face. Richie really hopes those two facts are not related. He tries to wipe his eyes but his arms are pinned.

Summary
When Death comes asking him a favor, it is one he cannot deny her.
.
.“Christie, what do you know about dying?”
She shrugs like Dream asked the stupidest question in the world. “Dying means when your body stops working. When your heart stops beating, and you stop breathing.” The duh at the end of the sentence is unsaid.
“Exactly,” Dream says, “but it is less crude than that. Death is all-encompassing, like slipping into a warm, kind embrace. You might feel afraid,” He leans forward, the toe of his boot touching her shoe, “But Death is sweet and gentle, And if you’re scared, she’ll hold your hand all the way.”
“Oh,” a lock of hair falls into her face, “like mummy? She holds my hand after I have nightmares.”
Her child-like acceptance is almost devastating, and his heart weeps. “Yes,” he says, “like mummy.”

Summary
"You sure it's safe to let the three of them talk?"
Wei Wuxian leaned against the curve of the gate and shrugged. "Sizhui can handle it." When he looked back over into the garden—at Jin Ling, at Lan Sizhui, at Lan Wangji—the expression in his eyes was one of total, unmitigated fondness.
Jiang Cheng heard himself ask, "Has he been good to you? Lan Wangji."
It got him a startled look. But instead of deflecting, Wei Wuxian said, "Yes. Yes, always."
—
Post-canon. Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian finally have a conversation that they should have had years ago.

Summary
“I hate this.” Adam’s voice is muffled against Blue’s chest, his hand fisted into the back of her shirt.
“I know, honey,” she says softly, pressing her lips to his hair. “Hate seeing him hurting so much.”
They’re silent for a moment, although Blue tries to focus on the sound of Adam’s breathing; if she hears Gansey speaking to Ronan in that dangerously soft voice, or, god forbid, if she hears Ronan crying again, her heart will break entirely.
Finally, Adam leans away from Blue enough to meet her gaze. “What if it never stops?”
---
Ronan sleeps well until he doesn't.
