Summary
In between the trunks of birch trees, a tape-less Torchbearer stood perfectly still.
His emotionless gaze made something within Nova flinch, almost as if he felt a sense of betrayal by Torch’s lack of reaction.
The leader of the Banditos remained stoic, determined not to make the first move.
“I didn’t think you’d come.”
“I’m risking a lot to be here, Nova.”
or: Torch and Nova meet in the forest outside the Bandito Camp, but neither man is quite sure why they turned up.

Summary
“Do you remember the first time we came out here?” Clancy asked, watching as a group of ants carried leaves backwards and forwards.
Torch chuckled. “How could I forget? I don’t think I’d ever seen you so happy before.”
“S’not like you had a lot to go off, we’d barely known each other for three weeks.”
“I still watched though,” Torch sat on a fallen log as he watched Clancy begin to sketch the ants, tongue peeking through his lips in concentration. “You looked so lost until then, like if you were to relax, you’d find out that it was all a dream.”
“It did feel like that sometimes. It’s cruel how as soon as I finally felt settled, I was taken again.”
“Yeah,” a wistful sigh blended into the sound of rustling leaves. “We got you back, though.”
“You did.” Clancy tossed a smile over his shoulder to Torch. “Which brings me to the second time we came out here.”
or: Clancy and Torch recall their first time together, and decide that it deserves a do-over.

Summary
The Torchbearer lingered at the camp’s entrance, unsteady on his feet as he handed his torch off to a waiting pair of hands. He didn’t feel like he could step into the chaos, almost as if crossing the threshold meant facing the reality that he’d come back from Dema without Clancy by his side.
His vision had been blurred the whole way back, and he’d hidden at the rear of the group to avoid the feeling of sympathetic gazes on him for the entire journey.
He could’ve kicked himself. Where had it gone wrong? Torch was so sure that this time things would be different, that he and Clancy could return to the camp, take Jenna and Debby in their arms and thank the lucky stars that all four of them had made it through the whole ordeal. Instead, he waited alone, wondering just how he was going to say that their beloved Clancy had chosen a different path.
A path of black paint, red robes, and sickly sweet lies.
or: Torch comes back from Dema alone, and the weight of the world crushes him.

Summary
Events like these were a whirlwind of social rules that Josie had never been handed the guide book to.
She knew her discomfort was shared by her bandmate, but Tyla had built an image as the moodier one of the two – her blunt answers and blank face allowing her some grace with how people expected her to react. Unfortunately, Josie had been dubbed the ‘sunshine-reincarnate, golden-retriever’ member of their band, leaving her very little room to let her jolly facade slip.
Still, Josie smiled for every picture; her fluffy yellow hair acting as an anchor for her positivity. She posed and waved, eyes flicking to Tyla every so often to make sure her best friend was still beside her.
or: Josie and Tyla go to the Grammy Awards together, but the pressure of public events starts to weigh Josie down.

as the water fills my mouth it couldn’t wash the echoes out by the_bolter

Summary
As the water began to gush through the broken window, Clancy wondered if there was any getting out of this. He flailed about as the water rose, his pink hair stuck to his forehead as he gasped for breath. Clancy could just about see Torch begin to swim for the hole left by the creature, and his own limbs copied each kick and stroke in a desperate attempt to follow.
Clancy tried to ignore the way that his body burned with exertion, or how the reflection of the sun on the surface of the ocean didn’t seem to be getting any closer. His lungs felt like they were on fire, each precious breath of air held inside disappearing by the second.
Torch seemed to be getting further and further away, as if Clancy wasn’t going anywhere despite his best efforts to swim upwards – his outstretched hand seemed to do nothing when no one realised he was falling behind.
or: Clancy almost drowns during the attack on the submarine, and realises that maybe surviving was a good thing after all.
