  1. Summary

    What is in the letters Max wrote for the party? What would she say as a goodbye?
    Basically, I'm going stir-crazy waiting for 8 today and I wanted to write what I thought might be in them.
    I don't know exactly how many I'll get through, but it will probably just be whatever I write before the first episodes are released.

  2. Summary

    Batty and Jeffery had known each other for 15 years. Throughout that time there had been bonding, shared interests, and most importantly lots of jokes about how Jeffery could marry Batty.

    There had been changes in their relationship, from sort-of friends, to a hero and the little girl he saved, to brand new harmonica player and the boy that was teaching her it to everyones' chagrin, to a mentee and her mentore that listened to her when no one really did. They had always had a different relationship than Jeffery had with her siblings but the only people that really picked up on that were those same siblings.

    Like scenes from one of Ben's movies here are snapshots of how Batty and Jeffery's relationship changed even further till they reached what they had always been meant to be.

    As was said so long ago, Jeffery held pieces of Batty's soul from every time he saved her, physically or emotionally, that demanded some sort of action

    Well he could always marry her

    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

    Summary

    Eddie misses Tennessee sometimes, though he doesn’t remember much. He misses the warmth of the people and the sunshine, he misses the cornbread his old neighbor Mrs. Carter used to make, but he mostly misses his mom. Misses her laugh and the way she tucked him into bed with a song every night, always with the same Dolly Parton song.

    Maybe that’s why he always reaches out to Dolly when he’s feeling down in the dumps.

    And all because of Steve motherfuckin’ Harrington.

    Summary

    Basrar swirls his hands in front of him, and with a burst of magic an ice cream sundae appears on the table.

    “Fantastic,” Ayda says. “The creation of something from nothing. A truly splendid use of conjuration. I would deeply enjoy discussing the differences between the conjuration magic of djinn and the conjuration magic of wizards, but I won’t have this conversation now, because it wouldn't be as enjoyable as eating ice cream with Fig. On this date. We’re on a date. It's our first date, I’m very excited about it.”

    “She’s my succubus,” Fig says. “Can we get spoons?”

    Summary

    Even though Eddie's name has been cleared legally, he's still very much on trial in the court of public opinion. Dealing drugs isn't a lucrative occupation anymore, and getting a legitimate job in a town who still considers him a killer isn't much of an option, either. Eddie is beginning to think skipping town and starting over somewhere no one knows his name is the only chance he has left. Steve has another idea.

    AKA: Steve gets Eddie a job as an anonymous columnist at a local newspaper.
