Summary
“Who are you?”
The boy smiled, and his eyes crinkled up. God, everything about him was so genuine. Tubbo didn’t get it. Was this some sort of joke? A ploy to get Tubbo to trust him, before inevitable betrayal? “I’m Ranboo,” said the boy easily, and Tubbo couldn't believe that there could be a manipulative bone in his body.
In which Tubbo has to do community service, Ranboo gets an uninvited guest, escape is futile, and nothing goes as planned.

Summary
“Does it ever get easier?”
“What?”
“Watching everyone you love die, and knowing you cannot join them.”
And Dream, who has lived for a thousand years and will live for countless more, has to answer that no, it does not. “I guess—you get used to it. That's the best answer I can give you. But easier? Never. It’s like having your heart ripped out of your chest, again and again.”
Or, Karl has to get better at goodbyes.

"Stop, why are you letting go of me, Schlatt--"
"I'm not escaping this time, Will."
His face is no longer scared, but--accepting. And that terrifies Wilbur, more than anything else. “I love you, big man.” Schlatt smiles, his face open and peaceful. Wilbur will see that smile every day for the rest of his life. And Schlatt lets go.
Just like that, he’s gone. Swept away by the raging current.
It’s five years before Wilbur sees him again.

Summary
"I remember everything!" he snarls, loud enough to make her flinch. "How you move— the way you breathe—" His words hitch on a strangled half-sob; he stares at her like a man caught in a waking dream as he skims the line of her jaw with his knuckles, stopping to touch the pad of his thumb to her bottom lip. "How your eyes met mine in the starlight," he continues through a broken, haunted rasp of a voice, "and I felt like the look on your face."
Or: What is alive must heal. What cannot heal must endure.

Summary
“What do you think?” Luke asks his nephew. “She has potential.”
“She bit me, Master,” is Ben’s stiff response. “Any opinion I give would be biased.”
Or: Everyone is connected, even if, sometimes, it's just by the skin of our teeth. Even in the midst of darkness, still, luminous beings are we.

Summary
In which Coriolanus Snow is handsomely rewarded for his tribute winning the Games and in turn handsomely rewards his prize, Lucy Gray, herself.
He's gone solemn now in the afterglow, serious. He cares for his own, Snow, she sees that with his family, and now she is one of them. Not his family, but something he owns. His prize, his ward, his girl.
Is she to be his mistress then? she thinks hazily as she slips towards sleep. Is that the future for her? To escape from the viper's den into the viper's mansion?
She shivers and he drags her closer, one large hand tucked around her hip.
Well, she can't escape now even if she wants to, she thinks, sinking into the softness of the plush mattress, burrowing back into the heat and warmth of her jailor.

Summary
What if Voldemort had chosen the pureblood boy, not the halfblood, as his opponent? This Neville would have had graves to visit, instead of a hospital. He’d still have grown up in his grandmother’s clutches, tut-tutted at, dropped out windows absentmindedly, left to bounce on paving stones.
Let’s tell this story: Alice Longbottom, who was the better at hexing, told Frank to take Neville and run.
