Bookmarker's Notes
[“Girl roommate, huh?” Amelia says, peeking into Jess’s empty room. It’s kind of surreal having her here, almost as surreal as finally (finally!) seeing her naked. He’d spent a lot of time in college imagining what she looked like naked. “Does that ever get weird?”
He briefly imagines telling her that it does, actually, ever since they went and got married a little while back. But still sleep with other people. Except for, oh yeah, that one time they made out when he thought he was dying and never talked about it.
Instead he shrugs.]

Summary
It’s been two years and three months and the sight of Marianne across a crowded room is still enough to stop him in his tracks.
As an act of lockdown self-care I wrote a hopeful coda to Normal People. It is set two years after Connell leaves for New York.

[She was watching Connell closely. He noticed how dark her eyes were, a rich, sinking brown. He’d forgotten that. Somewhere deep within his chest, hope was carving a steady, burning path between his ribs. He felt cracked open by the intensity of it; it made him turn his face away from hers and stare up at the ceiling.]

["So Aang is my destiny, after all?"
"Your destiny is to live as you are, no more and no less. Do not mistake rightness for predetermination. That which is right will always feel destined to have been."]

Bookmarker's Notes
a perfect mythic world before the work-world
[There is one Abhorsen who is grim and sober, and who lost her daughter to a flood. She sits with him on the Paperwing platform, and she tells him about the deftness of her daughter's fingers, and how much she had loved to eat raspberries. This Abhorsen reminds him of Astarael, and Yrael thinks that maybe, if he were set free — maybe he would not kill her. Just this one.]

one schlock to rule them all
truly a gold medal in wholesome, deeply-felt extensions of source material
["That's not how it goes," Pam says, and teases, "Have you never been to a wedding?" She catches hold of his left palm, her fingers warm and dry, and holds it steady while she puts the ring on his wedding finger. Her thumb is resting against his pulse, and he holds very still. "Hey, it fits," she says, when the cheap ring slides over his knuckle and fits at the base of his finger, and he wonders how she knew what size ring to get, if she'd been looking at his hands.]
