    Summary

    “I can’t ask you to do this.”

    Ace is sitting behind Florence’s steering wheel, hands at 10 and 2 and gripping it so tightly they look like topographical maps — tendons as mountain ridges, veins winding like mighty rivers. His face is lit only by the lamppost on the curb; it leaves half of his profile cloaked in deep black, the other painted a bloodless, muted yellow. 

    For the first time, Nancy can look at him and see that he’s older than her. The extra years are drawn in the lines framing his full lips, in the purplish shadows haunting his hollow eyes. 

    “You’re not asking,” she says, clicking the seatbelt around her waist and staring straight ahead, not allowing herself a final glimpse of her house, squatting familiar and forsaken in the rearview mirror. “Let’s go.”

    Summary

    “Wait, wait, wait,” Isaac says, gesturing wildly. “What you’re telling me is that we’ve got 400 ghosts?”

    “That’s too many ghosts,” Colin despairs.

    Richard shakes his head, grim. “We cannot fight them all.”

    “Hey, hey, hey.” Ted snaps his fingers, punctuating each word. “Yes we can fight them all. We just have to work together. As a team.”

    Summary

    After all that has happened, all the things that we’ve done, any good, any happiness, always seems to be drowned out by something else, something worse.

    Post 2x18, my imaginings for S3 despite the trailer being released

    Nancy can pretend everything is okay, that she's handling her traumas all on her own, that is until Ace returns from his roadtrip.

    OR, these two idiots pine for each other as chaos and supernatural mystery surrounds them.
