    Summary

    “Nothing’s different,” Ellie tries to talk Joel off the ledge the best way she knows how. “Except that fucking…thing. It was different. It was smart. And I just thought…What if, ya know?”

    Joel’s right in front of her. He sinks to his knees, which is honestly for the best before he passes out and knocks his head against the hardwood floors. “What are you asking me here, kiddo?”

    The nickname tugs at years old memories, tussles with months old anger. Settles in her hours old desire to be held by him again. The desire she’s brushing off and shoving down. Even if she is going to die, it doesn’t mean Joel gets to be off the hook. All it means is that he’d ruined everything all so she could die in the name of fucking nothing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming instead.

    Ellie squares her shoulders as she tilts up her chin. She holds him hostage with her gaze and implores him with the earnesty of her expression. “I need you to wait with me to see if I turn. And if I do,” she pauses, swallows, wishes she could look anywhere besides right into his eyes, “I need you to put a bullet in my head.”

    Summary

    You run, Reggie.
    You run, and you keep on running.

     

    It's the last thing Sirius said to him, before he disappeared. And Regulus is trying—he's trying so, so hard. But he can only run for so long before he collapses, half-dead and delirious with exhaustion, in the middle of god-knows-where.
    He wakes up in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar house, staring at an unfamiliar man—a man who, inexplicably, and for the first time in years, makes Regulus feel as though he might finally be safe.

    OR:

    1890s cowboy jegulus au. with an added twist and turn or two, just for fun :)

    Summary

    They lie on the edge of the roof, watching the guests arrive at the Ice Court, dignitaries, performers, the workers from the West Stave houses. In the midst of the glittering crowds one group stands out, a blot of darkness among the gaudy frocks and suits.

    Inej inhales sharply. She’s looking down at the man in the centre of the group, whose reddish hair is going sparse on top. “Isn’t that–”

    Beside Jesper, Wylan stills, his body a tense line.

    “Van Eck,” Kaz confirms. His face turns grimmer than usual.

    Wylan’s secret is revealed at the worst time, and in the worst way. Everything afterwards happens a little differently.

    Summary

    “We’re not in this place to be perfect, Peter,” James says to him, staring at the hovering moon, smoke clouding in front of his face. “We just have to be, in the way we think we ought to.”

    “I don’t think I do a very good job of that,” Peter says.

    James looks at him, then looks away. “None of us do,” he says. “We all care the most about the things that don’t really matter in the end. What matters is us. Just us. We’re all fucked in the head, and a bit brash, but we wouldn’t be us if we weren’t. We wouldn’t be doing the universe justice if we didn’t live the way she meant for us to.”

    A moment.

    “James?”

    “Yes, Pete?”

    “How do you think you’d want to die?”

    James closes his eyes. “With friends,” he says. “Quietly, and surrounded by friends. That’s when I’m at my best, so that’s how I want to go.”

    or, seven years is a long time. read closely, and there you'll find a glimpse of it all in clumsy unfolding fractals.

    Such a fun series! ATYD without the canon compliant ending PRAISE BE. I LOVE James' characterization here, it's so particular and special. 3.5/5 ⭐️

    Summary

    “What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.

    “Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”

    A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”
