Summary
How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger.
The monotony of Draco’s daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence.
Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can’t find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why are morning meetings with Draco Malfoy the only thing that make sense anymore?Series

Summary
It didn’t eradicate Alice’s suspicions. Some primal, animal fear, dating back to the antediluvian muck of middle school, said this was merely an unusual level of commitment to the bit, to setting up the punchline. Truth or dare? Ghostly, girlish giggles echoed in Alice’s amygdala. Either way she knew she would lose. Call truth and she got laughs poorly muffled behind hands as she was asked if she’d ever been kissed. The losses branch out. Say no and be revealed as a loser. Say yes and the freakishness of the idea induced shrieks of delighted horror. Call dare and end up on the roof of Jessica K's house, no one believing she’d jump, and then suddenly being no longer on the roof but on the ground among a circle of screaming girls, leg broken, and instead of gaining respect for her nerve she’d freaked everyone out so much they avoided eye contact forever after.
Alice always took the dare.

Summary
Mulder and Scully are thrown back in time…12,000 years.
“Although common sense may rule out the possibility of time travel, the laws of quantum physics certainly do not. In case you forgot, Scully, that's from your graduate thesis. You were a lot more open-minded when you were a youngster.” -- Mulder in “Synchrony”

Summary
"How long has he been thinking about this, she wonders. What exactly is he thinking? Her mind races, trying to reconcile this Mulder whose deepest desires are spilled out here in ink on worn and crinkled brochures with the one she’s spent nearly every day with these past several months.
She’d never have guessed…
After the events of Amor Fati, Mulder isn't quite ready to give up on a miracle. It just might take a little extra work to get there.
