Bookmarker's Notes
Arthur has always known that it would hurt to dower away all the territory Mal has ceded to him over the years, but it's always been an abstract thought. Arthur had thought that of course they would marry, but nothing else would change. He recognizes with a burst of heat that it's idiotic, to think that she and Dom could redraw the map of their relationship without somehow changing the demarcations of Arthur's claims. He's sick with it, envy and loneliness and reasonless hurt layered over one another like the leaves of a fan, pressed too tight against his chest.

Summary
Uniformity was an important quality in the Red Room; emotionlessness was another, and it didn't bode well with her that she might very well be compromised. Because Vanya's name was always on her lips; her eyes always sought him out, and something deeply human seemed to yearn for his proximity.

Bookmarker's Notes
Somewhere in between Poland or Hungary or Turkey or Lithuania, she and Vanya had created more than just death and destruction. They, hardened and unapologetic assassins, had made something beautiful; a child with dark hair and a little red face that knew nothing of the silence that they were forced to live in.

Summary
‘Who’s dead?’ A tinny voice sounded through the phone speaker, ‘it’s five in the fucking morning so someone better be dead.’
‘Jason,’ Dick glared at Tim as if daring him to speak. The younger boy shrunk into himself instinctively.
'Why don’t you tell your hungover little brother about the dangers of hard drugs?’
The other side of the call fell silent and then-
‘Ten minutes.’
The line went dead.
Or: Tim throws a party. Dick's not impressed. Jason just wishes that he wasn't the only person in this family with a functioning brain cell (all drug use is by side characters only).

"Listen," Tim says without looking up.
After a moment of silence so loud his ears ring, Jason asks, "What?"
"Do you hear it?" Tim prompts again, "Listen."
After another heavy beat of silence, Dick says, "I don't hear anything."
"Exactly," Tim runs his finger around the rim of his water glass. "Because the house is empty. It's always empty. Because they're always gone. When they're here, it's a surprise. Because they didn't tell me they were coming. And when they're supposed to be here but aren't, it's not a surprise. Because they're always forgetting to tell me things. And they're always forgetting to tell me because they're always forgetting I exist. I don't exist, so the house is always empty," he pauses. "… Even when I'm in it."
The house is silent and empty again for a moment.
"I just didn't want the house to be empty… So I threw a party in their empty house, and I'm leaving the bottles and the red cups. And when they finally come home, like they were supposed to two days ago, they'll be pissed. Which is okay because they were supposed to be home two days ago, and I'm pissed. And they'll be pissed, so they'll leave again. Like they always do. But at least they'll be leaving because they're pissed, not because I don't exist. So I'll exist again, and the house won't be empty."
"Wow," Jason drawls, "becoming a regular poet, Replacement."
Tim's eyes flick up at him. "My plan is foolproof."

‘Did you just voluntarily join a hug?’ Tim managed, the shock in his voice unmistakable.
‘Dickie’s hand is literally wringing my collar, Timbo.’
Tim looked up and, sure enough, Dick’s grip was bordering on strangulation. The older boy looked more pleased than guilty but his expression was a mixture of the two nonetheless.
‘This is a group event,’ he hissed firmly and Tim snickered.

Bookmarker's Notes
Rude of you to make me cry
There’s a boy, with Miles’ face. He’s super irritating, like goddamn. He wears Jordan 1s, and they’re ugly. He has a high-top with a fade, and that’s ugly too. He’s not got much smarts to spare, in fact Miles wonders if there’s even a brain rattling around in his skull, but—
But he’s good. Miles doesn’t like it, but he’s good. He’ll beat you into the ground, and then offer you a hand up. He’ll scream and shout and square his shoulders when he’s angry, but he’s kind. Infuriatingly so. He’ll save you, if he can. And if he can’t, he’ll do it anyway.
Miles is jealous of him. He hates him, more than not. But he’s started to think, there’s a chance that they’re not so different. Miles has started to think, that the boy he buried alongside his father— never actually died. He thinks that boy is right here beside him, shoulder to shoulder with an idiotic haircut. And he thinks that boy is here, too, beneath his rib-cage.
