Summary
But it had kept him here for the week. The dinner, that is. Or, more specifically, the phone call while he closed his eyes in the cool water of the same bathtub. Or Maggie’s voice on that phone, timid and demanding, hopeful and exasperated all at once. Inviting him over, inviting him to stay. Or it was Sophia, leaning over her homework, holding his hand as he led her out of that god-forsaken music store, dancing at the bowling alley like this was not the most fucked up night of her life.
It was a promise, for both of them. Stay.
or
Richie spirals while getting ready for his dinner at Maggie and Sophia's.

Summary
No, reality was not wonderland. It was messy and dirty and confusing and chaotic. But there were his friends, only inches away from him. He pulled his hand away from Vincent’s shoulder, cradled it against his chest. The inches felt like lightyears, like centuries. Space and time between them. If he could cross it, he would make it. He could tell himself he’d won. But he was still just Alex.
or
An immediately post-canon scene that relies on memories (of scenes from the film) to explore Alex's growth and subtextual attraction to Vincent.

Summary
If this was what dying felt like, it sucked. In the brief lucid moments between flashes of strange dreams and visions, he remembered that this was why they’d chosen to live forever, to forego the pain of death. Had he been selfish to question it, as someone who had forgotten pain in his long life?

Summary
“Alright, why are you upset?”
“I’m not,” Benedict said huffily as he placed another canvas on the easel. He picked up a piece of charcoal to start a sketch and paused. He had no clue what to paint.
“Benedict.” He heard Eloise but ignored her, rubbing the utensil against his chin. “Benedict Bridgerton!” Eloise snapped. He whipped around, intending to give her a scathing glare and tell her he was busy, but she was right behind him. “Do not ignore me. We’re going to talk about this.”
or
If Benedict stuck to his convictions and stayed in art school. A late-night discussion with Eloise.

Summary
Going through the report has his brain gears steaming. It's a lot. Logs of vessel depth, design and composition (iron mostly, with the other metal trappings of a human design with electrical cables), radiation output and source (x-ray and a buttload of it!), readings and scans of the biomass enveloping the vessel (a tree, of all things). More blood readings because the thing was utterly flooded with the stuff (same composition as the sample he coughed out, lovely to know and think about), and the final logs of the containment and quarantining of the vessel inside the Blip-A.
The team was coming back home to Erid, and in double time. Because Grace gets to the important part of the report. Perhaps the single most important one since he arrived on Erid.
They found another human inside the vessel.

Ever wondered what would happen if Simon brought along The Horrors™ with him into the PHMverse? Well, wonder no more! (It gets defeated by the power of friendship and altruistic science, is what happens. Please set your expectations to comical absurdism and have a good ride!)

Summary
Richie Jerimovich knows a thing or two about pain, but maybe there's still something he has to learn.
Since his best friend - his only friend, his soulmate - blew his brains out and left the restaurant they ran together to his baby brother, he's exploring new fronteers of rage, hurt, self-deprecation and despair.
Carmy's a stuck up little bitch, Noma material, Food&Wine new upcoming asshole.
Until Richie messes up bad, and Carmy bails him out of jail and they sort of enter a begrudging truce.
Which might be something else entirely.Bookmarked by bent_wizerd
