    Summary

    “I can be good,” she pleads. “I’ve been so good, because I love you, and, and I need you, Tucker.” She hears a sob hitch in her chest, before realizing the sound isn’t coming from her, but from him. He takes another step forward.

    “The kids need their mother,” she tries. “Little Tuck, and Tina, a-and even Timmy.”

    “I can give them a mother,” he says with distant resolve. His shoe sends a rock skittering over the edge; it doesn’t hit the ground for a long, long time.

    “Please,” Trudy says in a voice no louder than a whisper, “I don’t want to die.”

    Tucker stops.

    Summary

    “You free tomorrow?” asked Terry.

    "Yeah. Why?”

    “Okay. We’re going fishing tomorrow. What time do you want me to wake you up?”

    Scary groaned and crossed her arms. “Why are we going fishing? You don’t even like fish. I don’t even like fish.”

    Terry started slowly closing the door. “I’m hearing five am?”

    “Absolutely not.”

    Summary

    "Scary called him 'the glue'. He took it as a compliment at the time, but, like most things people have told him before, he’s beginning to rethink it. His throat still burns with tears when he thinks about that conversation. He’s the one keeping them together… but is he really doing a good job of that? Is he even supposed to be doing that? Is he just hurting them all further, by forcing them to stick together?"

    Summary

    “As far as her mom was supposed to know, Terry Jr. was on a business trip. Besides, how was she supposed to explain any of the last few months to her mom? Nevermind the Doodlerized monsters and the evil mayor, the last two months spent exclusively watching anime with the now-dead vice principal to help him cope with his failing marriage would be hard enough to explain.”

    Summary

    “Scary,” Normal insists with a serious tone. “What did he say to you?”

    “He said I was special, and, uh…” She shakes her head. “I know it’s stupid, but the way he said it…”

    “Did he do anything to–?”

    “No. No, he didn’t do anything. That’s the problem. He didn’t do anything, and I’m still freaking out!”

    Summary

    Normal could, in theory, just do this alone. He’s more powerful than his friends, he can actually find the anchors, he could just do this himself, the way Willy seemed to want him to do it.
    The idea of being all alone makes the panic worse.

    Summary

    Normal didn’t mean to get anyone killed, but the image is burned into his brain now, blood on Link’s kitchen floor and the anger on his face and the looks of betrayal from Taylor and Scary. He’d… been trying to help. He only made things worse.
    The anchor was broken, though, and that’s what matters, right? That they’re one step closer to helping the Doodler?
    What if him trying to help the Doodler ends up like this, too?

    “Sure, but…” Link frowns. “You’re really okay leaving them with Willy?”

    Summary

    “If, hypothetically, I had a friend,” Scary says, “who I think is… who maybe fell in with… someone bad. Hypothetically.”
    “Hypothetically,” Terry agrees, and Scary sees him nod in her periphery.
    “And I told this hypothetical friend that I thought this person was bad, and he told me that I wasn’t… giving that person the benefit of the doubt, and that that person maybe did some bad things in the past but that he’s trying better now. Hypothetically. But I still think he’s… maybe, in this hypothetical scenario, getting manipulated. There’s… I’m not… sure what I should do.” Scary rubs her arms. “So if you had, like, some lameass… Terry advice, or whatever. I wouldn’t… tell you to shut up.”

    Summary

    “Well,” Lincoln says, even though Scary gives him a withering look and Normal looks away, “we saw a vision, and it was, um.”
    “Yes?” Sparrow says, making a go-on gesture with his hand.
    “We were on our side of the portal, and we watched everything on this side get blown up,” Normal finishes for him. “And, uh, we heard, maybe, that there was… that that wasn’t the only option.”
    That’s news to Sparrow.

    Summary

    “Huh,” Link says, leaning over Normal’s shoulder. “That’s weird.”
    “Yeah,” Normal says, already missing the boost. “It is. Hey, did you guys feel that?”
    Scary gives him a weird look.
    “Feel what?”
    So that was… probably a no. Huh.
    Is Normal special?
    “Probably nothing,” Normal says. “Nevermind. Don’t worry about it.”
    Scary gives him a long, long look.
    “Okay,” she says. “Sure, Norm. Whatever you say.”
    The brightness can be Normal’s little treasure, then.
    The lingering bits of it in the back of his mind hum with something that feels almost like approval.

    Summary

    “First of all, I love you,” Lark said, waving the hand he wasn’t using to brace Sparrow.

    “I love you too, Dad,” Normal replied, a chill settling in his chest as the apprehension grew.

    “I love you,” Lark reiterated, a faraway look crossing his face as he continued, “even though, you know, it kind of hurts my feelings that you went to hug your aunt first. I mean, like, I should be used to that by now, but I’m the one who raised you.”

    “Lark, we shouldn’t do this right now,” his aunt said, letting out a more nervous laugh now. “That’s not- Our issues aren’t Normal’s, like, problem.”

    “I’m not making it his problem, Sparrow, I’m just, like- I’m expressing my feelings, you always tell me that I’m too closed off so I’m expressing my feelings.” Normal’s dad shook his head and in the back of his mind, Normal wondered if his dad had been drinking as well. That wouldn’t be like him, he usually got over-anxious about his sister and would stay sober to keep an eye on her. “I just- you know, he doesn’t love me like he loves you, and you know why that’s an issue.”

    Summary

    Nick groaned and stretched, almost sitting up, then flopped back limply onto the slightly stained sofa and threw his knees over the end, laying flat on the cushions. The brick phone tossed haphazardly on the coffee table buzzed, but he ignored it. It would just be the school calling “his Dad” to demand to know why he wasn’t in that day, and he wasn’t in the mood to change his voice and make up a lie they’d believe.
