    Summary

    “I'll stay with you, I promise.”
    “Tonight?” It's a fragile question, like the cypress branches bending in the wind of that stormy night, and Louis doesn't know how to be gentle with his honesty.
    “Tonight.”
    “All right, it's enough for me,” and it's Louis' face that collapses with the pain that steals away like the vilest of thieves. His nose wrinkles at the unbearable state of their existence, as he struggles to bear that resignation.
    It is not enough for him.

    Summary

    And this time, Loulan does laugh. "No one could have my heart. It's not mine to give." Then her face softens when she looks back at Maomao. "But if I could have- if I could've chosen… It would've been you."

    aka

    Love was never going to be enough. Loulan and Maomao pretend it is anyway.

    Summary

    "Ahhh--" Madeleine's face is whiter than usual, her hair standing out brilliant against her skin, mouth open. Claudia can see down her throat, see the stolen blood sliding in her veins, like a woman made from strands of her own hair. A doll, juddering to the beat.
    __

    Claudia wants to practice her piano skills, and Madeleine is happy to assist.

    Summary

    About 30 in the street, at least 10 more in the building. One woman with a single GSW to the leg, none other critically injured. Four police chargers and six officers, all armed, more inbound.

    One suspect. Male. Small caliber handgun and a hostage.

    There was no time for Buck to think when his reactions needed to be faster than his brain. His body knew what to do, how to take a man down efficiently.

     

    In which Buck joined the 118 after transferring to the Navy Reserves and struggled with becoming a civilian. Eddie showed him how to feel worthy again.
