    Summary

    The surreal scene around her felt oddly familiar, Becky realized. The feeling that they had survived something horrible, had made it through, but that they didn’t really know the full cost of that survival. Not yet. And now the question of the unknown future hung over their heads like a storm cloud.
    ---
    Escaping the Cult of Wiggly was only step one in surviving the crisis. In the aftermath of their day of hell, Becky, Tom, Lex, and Hannah find themselves facing the uncertainty of tomorrow. With no clear answers about what's going on or who to trust, the group accompany Paul, Emma, and Tim to a possible safe haven to weather the storm. Or at least the night. But with suspicions, guilt, and tensions high, there's still more to do before anyone can rest.

    *or*

    In the aftermath of the mall fire and with the possibility of World War 3 on the horizon, the Black Friday crew regroups at Professor Hidgens' home and tries to smooth over the loose ends still plaguing them.

    Summary

    “We’re coming with you. That was decided months ago—years, really.”

    They’re the only ones who always stay. Even when he says he doesn’t want them to. Even when he thinks that this time, for sure, they will not come back. Sometimes—selfishly—he is grateful for it.

    Summary

    Kara cradles her pile of dirty plates. She doesn’t know how to open Lena’s brand new dishwasher without ripping the handle apart. She usually figures these things out through trial and error, but she’s never been alone in Lena’s apartment, and she can’t risk winging it in front of her.

    So, she just stands by the sink and watches the hot water redden Lena’s sensitive skin, the light glinting off her beautiful earrings, and my happiness bites the plum of your mouth.The verse comes to her, unbidden, from one of their weekly poems. Lena always chooses poems with such physicality to them. Always real, touchable.

    ---

    Or: Kara is an alien, Lena is a genius. Their strangeness separates and connects them to the world and each other in peculiar ways. Being human in Lena’s eyes allows Kara to tap into parts of herself she hadn’t been able to explore before, but she knows her secret will one day stop being a bridge between them, and they’ll both lose the version of Kara Lena has grown to love. (Tender slow burn, mutual respect, bittersweetness and tentative physicality galore! Some angst and a lot of joy)

    Summary

    Faster and faster. End over end. Head, shoulders, knees and toes. Spinning and sprawling as the wind rushes past, stealing the breath from her lungs. The tears from her eyes. The sense from her head.

    She's falling.

    "Anne!"

    Someone screams.

    ~

    A different part of Toad Tower crumbles.

    Summary

    Sasha let out a growl and lunged, catching the creature, whatever it was, by its hood. She wasn't about to let it get away, not without a fight.

    "Get over here!"

    The hood comes down, but before she can get a good look at it, something slams against the side of Sasha's face. Her hand is still in the hood, though, and so they go down together. A body landing atop Sasha's and pressing her into the dirt. Something presses against her throat-- probably the same thing that hit her in the face-- and she's forced to look up into the eyes of her attacker or risk getting her wind-pipe crushed like a twig.

    "Anne?!" She wheezes.

    "GRAAH!" Anne snarls, pupils the size of pinpricks.

    _

    Anne never makes it to Wartwood. At least, not on her own.
