Summary
“Tao?”
Tao stares at her. He feels like he’s still running. Like his limbs are spinning. Like his chest is heaving. Like he’s still in free-fall. How long, he thinks, have I been able to predict her next move? Elle. Elle. How long has Elle Argent been my closest friend?
Elle. Elle. Elle. When did he change so quickly? When did he fall in love?

Summary
“Do you,” says Dustin, conversationally, “ever feel lonely?”
Steve’s fork hesitates, mid-twirl above his spaghetti. His face falls into the expression Dustin’s come to know as thinking hard, which is rare for Steve. His eyebrows twist together, and underneath his eyes do a little flick to the ceiling above, as if the curling water stain is suddenly going to change shape and spell out the answer to Dustin’s question. He opens his mouth, closes it, and then opens it again.
Dustin stares. “Blink twice if I broke you.”

Summary
He has hands built to cradle the barrel of a bazooka. Fingers trained to hurt, to flip the safety off and reload the bullets. Wolfgang has ears tuned to hear the ting of a metal bullet casing kissing the asphalt as it falls. He has the scars to prove his lack of thinking, and a near-constant adrenaline rush to testify with it. Wolfgang is violent. He is not a good person, and he is not a thinking one.
But, over the last couple of months, Wolfgang has been thinking. Thinks about his humanity, or lack thereof. Thinking about what it means, in the end, to be human.
Human. That was never a label before, was it?

Summary
“I kind of liked it,” says Diego, quietly, hours or days later. He says it so quiet Lila almost misses it. A mere breath on the air. The beat of a butterfly wing. On her side of the bed, she sits up, ramrod straight. Diego’s – their – blankets wrap around her middle, pooling, tightening. She wriggles, and they fall away.
(“What do we do now?”
“Live our lives.”)
Lila reaches out a hand, and wraps her fingers around his wrist. “What,” she whispers, quiet enough to match his volume, gentle enough not to spook him, “are you talking about?”
Diego hums. “Being a—a f—father,” he mutters, after a long moment. “Being a father, to Stan.”

Summary
“I’m afraid I won’t be the most thrilling company,” Zelda says curtly. “In fact, I’d like to be disturbed as little as possible if it’s all the same to—”
Link suddenly begins making a series of quick motions with his hands—fingers flitting at his lips, wrists crossed and then swept outwards. His expression is shy and downcast. Zelda stares at the display.
“Oh, did I not mention?” Daruk exclaims. "The little guy doesn’t talk!”
Or: Link and Zelda, except it's the best storyline in Love Actually.

Summary
She’s sick, she realizes dumbly. Everything is sore, she thinks she’s going to throw up again, and the room is spinning. “Don’ hurt me,” she begs, reaching for her bag as she inches backward. Curling up in the corner, she holds it to her chest like it’s going to protect her from certain death.
“Don’t shoot her,” a voice says. “We need her brain intact for the surgery.”
Intact.
Ellie gags on a wave of disgust and fear as the door crashes open with a sound that reverberates in her skull.
“Get the fuck away from her!”
OR: Anesthesia takes a hell of a toll on Ellie.
