Summary
Maybe this isn’t the awful thing it feels like. Perhaps whatever lingers in his blood that overrides his control is something intended to help, to make him better.
The thought doesn’t alleviate any of the terror that still swirls behind his ribcage, threatens to spill over and sink its icy teeth into his bones — but it’s something he clings to, nonetheless. He’ll figure it out, and stop it, and in the meantime it could be a good thing. He hasn’t figured out how to apologise, yet — but the logical first step would be to keep them happy, make sure he stays in their good graces and doesn’t do anything to further aggravate them.
He doesn’t like the idea, but if this — thing, this compulsion helps to make him more palatable, more tolerable and easier to be around, perhaps he’ll be allowed to stay long enough to make it up to them. He might be able to turn it into a good thing before he finds out how to end it, before it wears off. He’ll just wait it out.

J. Daniel Atlas ends up cursed, he thinks. It takes a while for the others to notice. In the meantime, he tries to stay sane. It's surprisingly difficult when your mind isn't your own, anymore.

Summary
There’s a kid trying to steal my wallet, Dylan thinks, bemused. He guesses he makes a fair target. The streets aren’t as crowded as they usually are today, most of the holiday crowds hanging around Midtown to see the usual sights. It’s not like there’s an absence of people, but he sees why they’ve gone for him. His gait isn’t as even as it usually is, his breathing a little more ragged than he’d like, his incision aching from the cold weather and the exertion. They probably assumed that he wouldn’t be able to chase after them when he found out it was missing. Given by the way that tiny hand has frozen in his pocket, they didn’t quite get the timing right.
...
Dylan Rhodes encounters a group of kids--smart kids, brilliant kids, magical kids that are way, way too goddamn young to be as alone as they are--on his walk back from the Manhattan FBI office. And he finds them again, and again, and again.
Eventually, they all come home.

Summary
The days leading up to the Fated’s final battle against Ungaro have been hellish in more ways than one - exhausting physically, draining mentally, and filled with the underlying rush of terror that maybe, somehow, despite everything, the Fated will lose. So Taxi’s not having a great time. That’s how he ends up on a beach with Br’aad two days before the battle, taking a moment of respite that might be their last. And they both know it.
With the threat of death hanging low above their heads, Br’aad approaches Taxi with a strange suggestion - cross one more thing off a hypothetical bucket list before they possibly die. Namely, getting married. And maybe it’s the crippling fear of death without living a full life, or maybe it’s something else entirely, but Taxi agrees. Just for the hell of it, right?
Of course, with the Fated, things are never that simple. Or maybe just with the two of them.
