    Summary

    “... Has anyone ever told you about Lonnie?” Will angles her wrist gently, running his violet marker through the middle “1” on El’s skin and across the “0”. He flicks his eyes briefly back to hers and finds confusion in them. She shakes her head.

    Will hums, trying to even out his breathing and finishing a vague outline of a lily. It makes sense. Will barely likes talking about Lonnie. He can’t imagine it’s any easier for anyone else.

    But… El is family now. They haven’t known each other very long, and most days it feels like she’s more Mike’s friend than Will’s, but she’s his sister.

    Will’s sister, who’s sick of looking into a mirror and recognizing the monster that stares back.

    He could resonate with that, Will thinks.

    (or, the one where will and el are having a bad time in lenora, but you know what they say about a burden shared.)

    Summary

    Dear Dad

    Okay, before you get mad, I can EXPLAIN.

    Alright!! I only snuck out because I wanted to get my first Pokémon like a responsible eleven-year-old, and I wore my Quiet Slippers™ so I wouldn’t wake you. Genius, right? Except… I might have gotten a bit lost in the dark forest but it was absolutely not my fault. (You taught me constellations wrong! The Butt isn’t a good guide!) I screamed at a ghost, but GOOD NEWS! It was actually a Pokémon and now we’re best friends. I may have fallen out of a tree, shot fireworks, and almost hit you… but I FIXED IT. John got kidnapped by his evil twin (Boss Yellow, and yeah he wears that much yellow) but I rescued him! Mostly. With my new best friends help. (He’s AMAZING.)

    Anyway, I’m fine! Totally fine. Covered in grass stains, but fine. And I brought home a shiny new best friend. So… you’re proud of me, right?

    Love (please don’t ground me),
    Faroe

    P.S. The Quiet Slippers™ are SAFE. I hid them already. You can’t throw them out!

    Summary

    Dr Hannibal Lecter MD, infamous yet oddly feted cannibalistic serial killer, receives so much mail while incarcerated at the BSHCI that additional staff have to be employed to sort and vet it.

    It’s not only the amount of correspondence that’s slightly alarming - it’s also the sheer variety. Underwear - both pristine and soiled; artworks - running the gamut from stick figures through to worthy of gallery display; letters with declarations of love, hate and tips on the path to redemption (often involving donating the Chandler Square house as down payment) plus nascent serial killers looking for how-to tips.

    But there’s one item that arrives early every month without fail. And it needs to be delivered to Dr Lecter post-haste.

    Summary

    Emma reaches for Regina’s hand again, but Regina’s moved her ice cream to it instead. “Though, I mean, if I were into women, your mom would definitely be first on my list,” Emma tells Henry.

    “I’m flattered,” Regina says dryly.

    Her voice sounds a little strained, and Emma tries to lighten the tone. She hadn’t thought Regina would be uncomfortable with the idea of…well, Henry has two mommies, but the Enchanted Forest had seemed a little regressive. “What? Are you saying I’m not on your list?”

    “Yes, Emma,” Regina says, and she barks out a choked laugh of her own. “If I were into women, you would definitely be on my list.”

    [A year in the lives of Emma and Regina, falling in love all the way through and doing every bit of it backwards.]
