Summary
Billy likes the way the walls shake with excitement when Eugene’s voice cracks or Darla burns something, how the house dances with the musical lilt of Mary’s voice, the manner in which the rooms spin when Freddy walks through the door; but most of all, Billy would be lost, floating adrift inside the crack in the wall, if it weren’t for the steadiness of Rosa’s hands while his tremble, or the stability of her voice as his world tilts on its axis, or the regularity of her heartbeat when everything around him remains irregular.
He doesn’t thank her enough. Billy watches the crack in the wall as it expands over the entire room, and the floor sways underneath him. He reaches a hand out to steady himself, and when he shuts his eyes, the sound of Darla talking to Freddy through the room reminds Billy of everything he has to lose. But it gives him an idea, too.
He doesn’t thank her enough. He hopes this makes up for it. Even just a little.

Summary
Somewhere up in the dark of the room, there’s a soft complaint of wood, a sound he knows is someone rolling over but trying to be quiet about it, followed by an exhausted, bone-deep sigh. By Freddy’s calculations, that makes ten sighs in the past fifteen minutes, which is way too high a sighs-to-minutes ratio.

Or, sometimes superhero problems actually hurt less than regular-kid problems, and Billy can’t get past the one thing he'd ever let himself want not wanting him back. -

In which there are more long term effects to hitting Ponyboy than there are in the book, but it turns out comfort after a nightmare goes a long way towards making amends.

Summary
"If I liked guys, I could really fucking fall for you. You know that, right?"
Of course he knows. But Benji still grins, that damn smile that's as much a bird's as a bear's. Then he says:
"You're already in love with me. You just haven't realized it yet."//
Alternate ending to the trilogy. Benji gets his happy ending.
