Summary
Maybe someone else designed this moment. Put the two of you together like this. Like it isn’t the accident upon accident your meetings have always been. Maybe this doesn’t need to be pieced together.
“You heard about what happened in Bloomshore District,” you say.
Rafayel takes a long sip, wearing the mug’s label like some weird badge of pride. “Who hasn’t?”
Your teeth sink hard into your lip, worrying like a pulse every time the blast replays itself, every time you can practically feel the lick of the flames or the grit of the hard pavement or the smoke in your eyes. “That was my grandma’s house.”
---
Or, the five stages of grief after you lose Caleb. Or, the five stages of grief as you fall in love with Rafayel.

Summary
Kaveh decides, finally, that enough is enough. Perhaps it's been a long time coming, and all it took was Al-Haitham doing the unforgivable. (Again.) You'd think that someone who makes a living (or tries to) off of building and planning—not to mention the oldest of the friend group—would have some sense of direction in his life. But here he is, with no parents to turn to for help, next to no mora in his pocket, and no idea what to do next.
At least, not until the resident Sweetheart of the Zubayr Theatre, out of the goodness of her heart, offers him a room for the night.

Summary
The more Sebastian talked to you, the more he let you in. And the more he let you in, the more of him you saw. And the more of him you saw, the more of him you wanted to see.
That’s what liking is, you think. That’s why you say, I think.
Sebastian squints. Probably at a wayward semicolon that kept breaking the whole damn program. He rubs his eyes, pulls his hands away from his keyboard. “Did you say you like me?”
Shit.
Or, three times you think something about Sebastian, and one time you know it.

Summary
“Wait. Okay. Let me get this straight.” You set your coffee down; is he actually saying what you think he’s saying? “You want me to sleep with a complete stranger for the next eleven weeks?”
Or: you need extra funds in college, Albedo needs an extra participant for his sleep study—that he has to participate in last-minute—and sharing a bed with a total stranger is okay, because it's for science and Albedo probably isn't going to murder you. Probably.
Besides, what could it hurt except everything?

Summary
Luka's become a frequent patron of the Tom and Sabine bakery and patisserie in downtown Paris—mostly as a pick-me-up for his sister, who's trudging through her first year of university. He doesn't mind it much; he's got money set aside from his main job, and he'd do just about anything for Juleka, and they make a mean napoleon besides.
It's just that when summer hits, Tom and Sabine have a new girl at the register.
And she's really, really cute.
And he can't stop tweeting about it.

Summary
If he were a friend, you might have playfully pushed him. But he’s not a friend, he’s… actually, you’re not sure what he is. He’s just… Kaeya.
No. Sir Kaeya.
The distance is necessary.
Or, a handful of times Kaeya Alberich certainly, absolutely, definitely did not win your heart.

Apparently, cats are really good at sensing pain. All kinds. Ichimatsu's like that, too. Which makes sense.

Summary
“What in the world are you doing?”
Her arm was still extended. “Giving you an out. Because it’s New Year’s Eve, and we’re lonely-together people, and you want a party, and I want to change my mind.” She looked at him meaningfully, then nodded toward her hand. “So are you going to take it or not?”
Two years pass, and Félix finds himself stuck and bored out of his mind at a New Year's party. Fortunately, he finds someone who can get him out. And give him more than he bargained for.

Summary
Some parts of our stories are wild gardens and aged branches; they grow and grow, for as long as they like. Other parts of our stories are little more than glue; they keep everything together, hold it in place, make sure everything knows what it's doing. That almost everything knows it can be resolved.
This—Luka graduating, and the Captain keeping her promise, and André's last scoop of ice cream—this is one of Marinette's glue stories. It isn't always pretty, and it reins in some of the branches, but it does what it needs to.

Summary
Makoto's spent a long time overthinking and overplanning for this—it's a proposal, after all. Why wouldn't you overthink and overplan something that has to go so perfectly to be so memorable?
The answer is simple when things don't go quite as intended.
