    Summary

    “It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”

    Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”

    “But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”

    Summary

    “Keith,” Veronica says, worrying her lip between her teeth and looking up to him with the same blue eyes he would know anywhere. “I think he's sick.”

    Lance falls victim to an ancient Altean disease that manifests a flower in the lungs of someone suffering from unrequited love and Keith finds himself facing his own feelings in the process.

    Summary

    "If I could come up with a Ratatouille theory, then I should have thought of this years ago..."

    Hikaru's anticipation cracked, and he descended into a bout of alarmed laughs. Akira basked in the blatant acceptance of his comfort. "Ratatouille? Akira, what the hell-"

    "You were haunted by a ghost."

    Hikaru's soft laughter stuttered to a halt. It occurred to Akira that Hikaru himself had likely never heard these words out loud. Hushing his voice and stepping closer, Akira savored the way Hikaru needed this from him just as much as he needed this from Hikaru.

    "Sai was a ghost."

    -

    [or: hikaru admits that he wants to tell akira about sai but doesn't know how to, so akira goes batshit and writes a non-peer-reviewed academic diary on it and figures everything out on his own]
