    Summary

    Neither of them questioned the instinct. Neither of them wondered why Sam thought she felt safe in Lara's arms, or why the feeling of Sam's deep breaths seemed to soothe away even the deepest of Lara's fears.

    They just knew they needed each other, on some deep, base level, and they were both too exhausted to fight the urge.

    Set in the immediate aftermath of the first game, in which both Lara and Sam are too wired to sleep. Lara’s paranoid and Sam is scared, but…somewhere, deep inside, they know what they need, and they are too tired to resist the instinct. After all, sleep is better when they share it.

    Jinx can't handle another death. The moment she saw Isha run toward Warwick, Jinx knew it was all going to happen again. But this time she could change it. She wouldn't let it.

    Summary

    Here’s how it goes: the wolf that was Ginger, is Ginger, will be Ginger, corners Brigitte in their childhood bedroom. Facing the monster she calls sister, holding life and death in her hands, Brigitte confronts an impossible choice. Knife or syringe? Weapon or cure? Herself, or Ginger?

    In the end, she is not the one to make the choice.

    (or, ginger chooses the syringe.)
