Summary
“You know what? Screw Rutgers,” Jackie says, shifting closer to the fire. Starvation is stripping her to bones, and her elbow is sticking Shauna in the ribs. “I’m going to move to Florida. No, the Caribbean. We can drink daiquiris on the beach, and—“ She pokes at the fire, hisses, and sticks her fingers in her mouth. “And never look at a goddamn campfire again.”
“No, we can’t,” says Shauna, a little frustrated. “You’re going to die."
--
Shauna finds it hard not to think about missed opportunities.

Summary
You have a not-especially-vested interest in not bringing up the Emperor’s dead Hands, those who betrayed him (at least half) and those he preferred to you (probably all, you anemic milk-slick, you eclipse-shadow of greatness). Your position is precarious. You are intimately goddamn aware of it.
But at least you have the same old advantages as always: in the deep and twisty vessel of you there is not one scruple nor drop of shame. And you are accustomed to being the overlooked sister.
--
John and Ianthe deal with the fact that his only remaining Lyctor is the one he never liked much. Maybe they can bond over the fact that they're both egotistical manipulators who lie like breathing? No?
Also, God sees ghosts. Ianthe doesn't help.

Summary
“What kind of flower is that?”
Kit started to say what flower, and then stopped, hand going to her lapel. The flower in her buttonhole was past wilting, now, and starting to dry out, shedding petals at her touch. She had forgotten it was there, in the commotion.
---
Kit can’t rest yet.
(aka, netflix kit isn’t nearly sad enough, someone’s got to make up the difference)

Summary
So this isn’t normal, this thing where she’s standing half-dressed in the doorway to Basira’s bedroom, trying to decide whether or not to wake her. If you lined up every possible Melanie King, subtracted the ones who never made it here — she bets she’d be the only one without the sense to stick to a long tradition of simple, casual, low-stakes relationships and go.
What she wouldn’t give for a universe where this is low-stakes. Things must be so easy, for that Melanie.
---
Melanie has a rough morning. Basira does what she knows. Things work out unexpectedly well, given the circumstances. (Set post-MAG 106.)

Summary
“What is that.”
The wind rustles gently through polyester. Neal looks down at himself and back up. “It’s my Halloween costume,” he says, wounded. “I bought it. With money.”
“Your — Neal, this is the FBI,” Peter snaps. “You’re not an elementary school teacher, you don’t have to dress up so the kids will like you.”
“I know it’s the FBI! Look, I’m dressing the part.”
---
Neal has plenty of reasons why Halloween should appeal to everyone. They're a no-sell on Peter, mostly.

Summary
Experimentally, Mark stands up and, as expected, reels a little. The sensation makes him laugh. He sits back down and does it again, swaying enough that he has to grab onto the wall separating him and Dylan. "This is actually pretty fun," he reports as the bathroom door opens and shuts behind them.
"What's going on out here? Mark playing musical chairs by himself?" Petey's voice asks.
"Mark's outie came in wasted," Dylan informs him, still clicking away.

Summary
Breaking company rules is a form of self care.
OR a story about the revolutionary act that is choosing to love yourself.
OR the aftermath of the party and Mark S.'s role in it-- part character study, part plot, all angst, baby!

Summary
The weather on Qing Jing Peak was never just boring. It was either gloriously sunny, with a blazing blue sky and charming little birds twittering among the bamboo, or dramatically storming, rain pounding against the walls, the perfect backdrop for a furious confrontation or declaration of all-consuming love (read: lust). So when Shen Qingqiu woke up to a light, uninteresting drizzle falling from a dishwater sky, he knew instantly that something was wrong.
Binghe was plastered against his back, too big, too warm, his palm pressed to his chest over Shen Qingqiu’s heart as if needing, always, the confirmation that he was alive. Shen Qingqiu could feel his erection pressing against the curve of his lower back, knew that if he wanted to he could shift his hips, grind backwards, and Binghe would wake and be on him in moments, pulling the sleeping robes from his shoulders and latching his teeth into the column of Shen Qingqiu's throat, marking him, over and over, as his.
So that was all normal. There was something else, something more abstract, that was off.
