    Summary

    “Daisy? Anything?”

    “Shush. I’m thinking.”

    “But thinking what?” Jon asks plaintively.

    “I love you,” Daisy replies.

    Jon’s still getting used to compelling people.

    Summary

    He peers between the branches at the spiderweb, gently pushing some away to get a better view. He wonders what kind of spider it is, if he can catch a glimpse of it. There aren’t that many types in England, but--

    Oh. He doesn’t spot the spider, but there’s something else trapped in the middle of the web. A large moth, its wings splayed helpless and immobile. As he watches, he sees its legs wriggle ineffectually in the air. It’s a surprisingly pitiful sight, making Martin’s heart unexpectedly wrench a bit for the poor thing.

    -

    Martin saves a moth from a spider. He doubts that this decision will have any sort of serious repurcussions.

    Summary

    “What was it about?” Martin says, half because he wants to know and half because he wants to hear Jon’s voice a little longer before one of them falls asleep again.

    “You,” Jon replies, the edge of his voice wavering with upset. “Again."

    Summary

    This is, for all intents and purposes, a fairytale. Of sorts.
    There's magic, there's intrigue, a couple nice dresses, and, as always, things go horribly, terribly wrong before they go better. But, the thing about fairy tales is they all start with Once upon a time, and, Once upon a time is both far too accurate and far too whimsical for Peter Spankoffski’s tastes.
    So, instead, the story starts like this--

    Here’s the situation: Peter Spankoffski was born as collateral.

    Summary

    Ethan drew in another rattling breath, but this time it hitched, the sound of lungs spasming desperately. She choked and coughed, an awful, sickly sound, and blood spattered on the ground beneath her.

    “Bad blood,” Hannah said, and her voice shook.

    “Mos’ of it’s bad, ‘sn’t it?”

    Ethan survives being attacked in the mall- barely- and tracks down Hannah.

    Summary

    The knight who had kept him company for years wiped the sweat from her face with the back of her wrist, and met his gaze. She gave him a brief but radiant kind of smile, a bit of dirt smudged on her cheek and a trickle of blood running from her hairline.
    “Oh,” he gasped quietly, and his treacherous voice betrayed his attempt to keep his wits about him. “You are no man.”

    __

    When his carriage is attacked and overturned on the way to his wedding to Her Highness Grace Chasity, Pete is forced to flee to the woods alongside his loyal knight.

    Summary

    If Hannah was awake, she probably would’ve brought up iron in the soil or fungus or something nerdy like that, but as she drove closer, Lex realized it wasn’t that at all.
    They were flowers.
    Bright orange poppies, blanketly so densely over the hill that the whole thing had looked orange from afar, blooming in a carpet that stretched to the hill past it, and the hill past that one.
    __

    A few hours after crossing the border into California, Lex stops by the side of the road.

    Summary

    Steph slid his sleeve up to his elbow, and even Pete could see that it was swollen and bruised now, still twisted at an odd, deformed angle.

    “Oh, Pete, that’s… definitely broken.”

    “Oh,” Pete replied, his voice feeling slightly distant as he looked down at his own arm, Steph’s fingers still tucked beneath his sleeve. He swallowed. “I- I didn’t even notice.”

    After Max's death, Steph and Pete are left to face the aftermath.

    Summary

    Ted Spankoffski is a lot of things: an asshole, a sleazeball, the 'other person' of more than a few adultery allegations, pansexual, and, most importantly, an unlucky fucking bastard.

    Except, this time, the story isn't about him. (It never really is, though, is it?) This time the only thing you need to know about Ted Spankoffski is that he's a big brother.

    And it's about damn time his little brother got a taste of that good, old fashioned Spankoffski luck, don't you think?

    Summary

    A figure stood against the fence, nearly the same color as the warped aluminum behind them, and their edges were softened and wispy like she was seeing them through a foggy window. Something about the way they were standing was familiar, tugging at a memory in her aching skull.
    Oh, she realized, blinking dazedly. It’s Pete.

    --

    One week after Pete's death, Steph tries to convince herself she's recovering. She hasn't, of course, and especially not when she starts seeing a specter under a streetlight at the skate park.

    Summary

    Max Jägerman never stops the bullet. (Or, at least, he doesn't catch it. Because, well, that's so boring, isn't it? What, he just catches it? Before anything fun and spectacularly bloody happens? No, no, no that won't do.)

    Stephanie Lauter just happens to be a piss poor shot. (There, that's better.)
