    Summary

    But she felt her face burning. And his face was dark, too, probably from shock or exertion, but it still struck her, almost as much as the the ghost of his tears. She twisted her mouth in indignation. She was supposed to be a feared necromancer, a vicious soldier in this ritualistic battle, not some dumb teenage girl with a dumb teenage girl bleeding heart. Even if how Apollo currently looked was totally, infuriatingly satisfying. Open, exposed, raw, finally knocked down from that high, gilded throne, someone she could actually level with, someone whose blood she could mix with her own.

    Apollo opened his mouth. But nothing came out, just ragged breaths. His hand, the one not holding his rapier, knuckles bruised purple and palms damp with sweat, raised to grab her hip. It was tense, as though preparing to push her off or to dig in his claws.

    She made a frustrated sound. Oh, for fuck's sake.

    Graves phantom strikes Apollo mid-ritual. It all devolves from there--and then, somehow, gets better.

    Summary

    There are three things that I currently know with absolute certainty, numbered in no particular order of truthfulness or importance.

    The human brain does not have the capability to erase memories. You may have difficulty retrieving a certain memory, but it never leaves the brain.
    I have not sung a C-sharp six since I was fifteen years old.
    Everything you see is in the past. Based on the finite speed of light, every action you see has already been completed. It’s too late to change it.

     

    Or: When the spotlight hits, Emma remembers everything. This is how she processes it.

    Summary

    There’s a glow coming from somewhere, probably something left on the stage, backlighting not-Paul into a silhouette with two empty blue eyes. It rises to its feet, swallowing Emma in its shadow. A spotlight in reverse.

    “Lovely songbird, you’re a hard girl to please… but then again.” Somehow, she can see the glint of its smile, too. “Here you are, on your hands and your knees.

    “Perhaps if nothing else can get you to sing, it’s worth trying one last thing.”

    A pause, like the cosmos holding its breath.

    “E-Emma?”

    And then Paul Matthews collapses to the ground.

    Summary

    “I was the last one to see them. Both of them.” And her heart speeds up but she does not speak, she can wait, they have forever. There’s nothing else that matters. Nothing matters. “I should’ve–” A noise like a wounded animal. “I knew something was wrong. I left them here, and– and it’s my fault. I should’ve stopped them.”

    Carol hears nothing but her heart in her ears. The wind is in her eyes, drying them, she didn’t know they were wet. Endlessly monochrome, before her: the killer.

    “Yes,” she says finally. “You should have.”

     

    OR: Two bodies are found in the lake, and a funeral is planned for three. Carol Holiday is left alone.

    Summary

    Fig smiles, her grin sharp and excitable. “This year, you’re gonna make some new traditions. Yeah? You’ll come along with each of us on our holiday celebrations and you’re gonna learn what it’s like to have fun over Moonar Yulenear, got it?”

    Riz blows out a slow breath. He doesn’t want to admit it but it does sound appealing to spend the holidays with someone else, versus his quiet mornings in an empty apartment after his mom has left for her fourteenth shift in a row without a day off. He imagines what it might be like to bake with Fig or drink nog with Gorgug or even go to church with Kristen. It might be nice, he thinks, to be amongst people during some of the loneliest days of the year.

    “Okay,” he chokes out. “I’ll do it.”

    -

    or: Riz admits that his holidays are going to be lonely and the Bad Kids take it upon themselves to rectify that.
