    She doesn’t get along with other women. Undoubtedly her mother’s fault.

    Summary

    Kendall doesn’t say anything. Roman doesn’t say anything. The creature growing in her uterus, leaching her blood and water away from her from the inside, is the largest presence in the room. It will be a baby, one day, if she lets it (she thinks she will, but she’s not sure why), but right now it’s a spectre, an omen, something to be talked around, if talked about at all.

    Summary

    Shiv doesn’t ask for any extra details, she doesn’t ask anything, in fact, just a simple question: Can you go through it again, what happened? And when she’d asked the second time, followed by a third, Tom had wondered how far down she'd fallen into her spiral of disbelief, if telling her the story over and over would pull her back out or push her further away from acceptance.

    Summary

    The story of Tess: how she meets Joel and the years of survival beyond.

    “So let’s do it,” Tess whispered fiercely.

    “What?”

    “Let’s just not die. You, me, Tommy. We’ll go all the way to the end, as far as we have to go. Fuck Cordyceps and fuck the future. Let’s just not fucking die.”

    “Well, all right,” Joel agreed. “You’re the boss.”

    It was absurd optimism, a ridiculous fight: don’t fucking die. But it was the biggest Fuck You she could muster against reality. She was not going to give in, no matter how bad it got. She’d seen people take the easy, quiet way out with their pills or bullets. She got it. She even envied them a little. That kind of quick death would never belong to her. She was too full of fight, too angry at the world.

    “We’ll go as far as we have to,” Joel murmured.

    (Extra chapter added 16/11. It's the new Chapter 5. No other content has been altered.)

    Summary

    Ellie had gotten sick before. In fact, she was always getting sick in the QZ. The other kids would make fun of her while she felt feverish and pathetic (and alone).

    Still, she hadn't realized until she awoke after a nap, curled in her thick blankets on the couch, her comic book left open on the coffee table.

    Summary

    “So,” Ted drawls after a moment, “you’ll go on a date again after this?”
    She laughs a little at the expression on his face. “Was that your devious plan all along? Talking about Rom-Coms, so I wouldn’t give up on dating?”
    “Can’t have you giving up on love, boss.” Ted shrugs. “Doesn’t agree with the Rom-Communist in me.”

    OR

    Rebecca starts dating again. She ends up with the right guy anyway.

    4(ish) dates in the life of Rebecca Welton

    Summary

    It’s not that Ellie means to stalk the couple she catches lurking in the shadows at 1 in the morning after sneaking out of her dorm because sitting in the room alone was making it hard to breathe, but fellow curfew-breakers can hardly expect privacy. All’s fair in love and rule-breaking or whatever their English teacher said in one of the rare classes when they were learning something not related to FEDRA policy.

    And there’s something in the way the man holds his hand out to help pull the woman up over a crumbled brick wall that she just can’t look away from.

    There’s a gentleness there despite his size and obvious strength that makes her breath catch for just a second. It’s too far for her to hear what they’re saying, but the woman says something with a little half-smile and presses her hand to the man’s shoulder, and the casual affection of the gesture fills her with a nameless want.

    So, trailing them at a distance it is.

    (AU in which Ellie follows Joel and Tess around and meets them with no Fireflies involved)

    Summary

    The memories of those visits tend to blend together in Joel’s mind, a soft-focus blur of tastes and sounds and particularly memorable jokes, usually told by Frank. Joel remembers the year that Tess had gotten her hands on some Elton John sheet music and Frank had point-blank asked if she thought all gay men liked Elton John, pretending to be legitimately offended. Tess had apologized profusely, something she rarely did, until Frank had cracked and, face splitting open wide, had admitted that he actually is pretty fond of Honky Chateau.

    The hardest part of being a survivor was accepting that every day might be your last. Nothing was promised.

    Tess had long ago accepted that Death could be around any corner.

    It often was.
