    Summary

    “You can’t have two favorites!”

    Ray knew perfectly well that wasn't true. He didn’t play favorites between Emma and Norman—he loved them both equally. But the comment made him wonder … what if they did have a favorite? And if so, who would it be?

    It was painful to think about, but the more he dwelled on it, the more certain he was.

    If either of them had a favorite, it wasn’t him.

    Summary

    Sand's phone starts buzzing again. "Are you fucking kidding me?" he mutters, picking up the phone so he can send the caller to voicemail. Ray's been calling nonstop tonight. The voicemails have piled up while Sand decides if he should simply delete them without listening. But this time, when he picks up the phone, it's an unknown number. He furrows his brow, some unsettled feeling in his gut telling him something is wrong. He answers.

    "Hello?"

    "Hello, is this—" there's a moment of hesitation, "Sand? Ray Pakorn's emergency contact?"

    Cold dribbles down Sand's spine and he answers "yes" without thinking, without considering that he and Ray are broken up.

    "We've been trying to reach you. Mr. Pakorn has been in a pretty serious accident."

    Ray drives his car into a guard rail and lists Sand as his emergency contact, despite the fact that they've broken up.

    Summary

    Ray understands his emotions on an intellectual level, of course, but embodying and articulating them are another thing entirely. It's much easier, and safer, to bury them in favour of being single-mindedly goal-oriented, especially in the predominantly white spaces that he used to operate in. It leaves Ray feeling out of his depth when navigating the emotional space between him and Billy.

    But planning an experiment methodically? That is in Ray’s wheelhouse, and so getting Billy pregnant is what he turns his attention to.

    Summary

    Ray looks up at all the constellations that light up the sky, and he thinks about the largeness of the universe, and how insignificant everyone is, in the grand scheme of things. That used to scare him when he was a kid, like nothing really mattered because they might as well be specks of dust in the cosmic order of things. But now Ray thinks, maybe it matters more, because of the huge unlikeliness of even existing in the first place. How many things had to go right in the chaos of all these different realms for him to end up right here, on this beach, with his fucked up arm and his best friend’s dog, on this beautiful, awful planet which keeps tearing itself apart?

     

    Time heals almost all wounds. Ray has time, plus a pink plaster cast on his arm.

    Or: Ray Person's spectacular Californian winter living on Walt Hasser's futon.

    Summary

    Maybe this was the way he would die.
    Not by a bottle of pills like he once tried.
    Not by getting too mouthy to the wrong person.
    Not by his excessive drinking until he couldn’t feel a single ounce of the pain that usually ran through his veins like it was as important as blood.
    Not by the whispers in his head in a voice that is painfully resemblant of his late mother’s tone, insisting that he was never supposed to make it, that he didn’t belong here.

    A rewrite where Ray is a virgin and is a little more self aware than he was in the show.

After the conclave, however, the real possibility of Thomas moving to some monastery overseas becomes not so far from reality anymore.

    Summary

    "It was nice knowing ya," 

    And for a moment, time seems to freeze. Emma lunges forward, doing everything she can to help him. Even on her still-healing and brittle leg, she's fast. But gravity, ever-dependable gravity, is faster. So, so much faster. 

    The soft glow of the match lights up his and Emma's faces, and it spins as it falls, a trail of smoke rising up and curling like the tuft of Emma's hair. 

    In the end, no matter how much Emma runs, the match is faster.

    Summary

    It wasn’t that Ray was bothered by the fact that Norman and Emma were a couple now, even if living with them meant he had to put up with their disgustingly sweet antics all day long.

    The problem was that whenever he caught them together, they always used the same stupid joke on him.

    “Hey Ray! Wanna join us?”

    And it was driving him crazy in more ways than one.
