    Summary

    He loses himself in swallowing gasoline and baseball bats and the thrill of gunfire.

    He feels himself burning and he lets it happen–he lets his matchbox teeth scrape against his sandpaper tongue and he sets himself on fire. He sets himself on fire so as he swings he is a comet of righteous fury, of justice and oaths bound between the lips of tragedy. He sets himself on fire so that he can be a beacon of light, a safe harbor for shivering, sobbing people.

    Spider Man is a vigilante.

    Summary

    "It's worse, now. You look... Santos, it's not good. She's not good for you. That's what I'm saying. And I know you're not going to listen to me, and you don't want to hear it, and I get that. I don't want to hear you talking about Amy—"

    "You think it's anything like that?" She laughs, void of any amusement. She's burning, now. Hot and angry, feeling the flush of it rise in her skin, warming her cheeks and her chest. "Are you fucking serious?"

    "I think it's worse," he says, quiet, refusing to back down entirely from the inferno. "I think it's worse for you, yeah. I don't think this is good for you, Santos. And it's getting worse."

    Trinity doesn't want to take advice from the roommate who she thinks isn't going to stay around.

    (She's wrong about a few things.)

    Summary

    Mel King was an amalgamation of sorts; she was a devoted sister and a dedicated doctor and... and countless other things she's sure, she thinks, but more so than anything else, Mel King was a performance. Worst of all, she was a performance that was difficult to follow.

    Or, the morning after. The morning after Mel wakes up late for work, that is.

    Summary

    • 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐔: You feel your soulmate's pain.

    Most people think that soulmates are romantic, and that whoever is your soulmate is supposed to be the one you were meant to be with. But that isn't always the case. Because, for Cass and Tim, nothing was romantic.
    They were siblings, best friends, through and through. But they were not lovers. They were platonic soulmates. And neither of them would have it any other way.

    Summary

    Gar is like a blessing. He doesn’t seem to notice the shiny parts of Vic, not until it really counts—when there’s wires sticking out, something shoved through Vic like it was nothing, when he’s in danger. And even then, he treats them like any other part of the body, like a wound is a wound and it doesn’t matter that it’s not flesh, but technology.

    When he asks, Gar tells him about Cliff Steele, and shrugs like it’s nothing. “I’m just used to robot guys, I guess,” he says, flippant like he’s not the first person Vic has met who didn’t recoil at the sight of him.

    Vic manages a laugh, his eye—his real eye, his human eye—stinging.
