    Summary

    Billy was still staring at him. His face looked narrow and shadowed in the spotty kitchen lighting. Alan always thought about geometry when he looked at Billy: angles and rays and points and transversals. He was beautiful in the way that math was beautiful: like an equation that was beyond Alan's abilities, too complex for him to handle. But there, nonetheless. Holding all the secrets of the universe, if only Alan could figure out how to solve him.

    Summary

    They say when you're near death your life flashes before your eyes and he's had a long, complicated life. The first time he remembers trying to etch a memory on the back of his eyelids he's eight years old. His mom uncovers the piano in the living room and begins tapping at the keys, the notes to a song he's long since forgotten echoing around the living room.

    He can hear the melody as the wind whips past his ears and the wreckage of his plane crashes far below on the ice mountain side.

    or

    Bradley contemplates the moments that stuck with him as he descends to the ground after ejecting in the woods - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Summary

    All his life, Jake Seresin has wanted to live his life as loud as possible.

    So that when he dies, people can place flowers on his casket.

    When the light hits him, sunbaked and smiling and grinning. He's whole and happy and everything he could ever want. He bites down on his teeth.

    Later, he hunches over the porcelain, petals falling out of his mouth, and is already one step in his grave.

    -

    Flowers, fighter pilots and the true fatality of your feelings spilling out.

    Summary

    Dr. Alan Grant pioneers the exciting new field of Anthropologic Paleontology.

    Or, to be more specific, "Alan gets kidnapped and accidentally marries a raptor" (thanks to Sinwritesfics for this very amusing rendition of my summary). However, please note there is not a bestiality tag for this fic, and it never will have one -- just in case that might be a concern for some readers. ; )

    Chapter 2 (missing scenes) added 6/7/20.

    Summary

    "The transformation he’s dreading never comes. Somewhere inside him a month's worth of panic dilutes but doesn’t dissipate. Logistically, he knows it shouldn’t. After all, they did their part to end what ailed the Hackett’s for years. It shouldn’t be a shock that his flesh isn’t pulling tauter by the second, straining against inhuman muscle and bone.
    It should be comforting. He’s not so sure comfort is something he can feel anymore."

    A month by month retrospective of grief and being able to love despite it.
