    Summary

    “So,” one of the girls — Becky he thinks — asks him as they start to strip down to their bathing suits, “cliff jumping, huh? Not something most normal people get into. What brought you here?”

    “Oh,” Buck fumbles with the hem of his shirt, “you know, just trying to expand my horizons.”

    He’s waiting for someone to call him on it. To say that they see right fucking through him. Evan Buckley is here because he can never be satisfied with what he already has. He wants more always wants more and he thinks the universe is going to give it to him in a seven second freefall. But no one does. He knows that nobody probably could. Because that person is tucked up at the dinner table with his aunt and son, finally getting the peace and happiness he deserves.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "The walk from his Jeep to where the cliffs jet out takes several minutes, the rain a little unforgiving as it begins to soak through his shirt. The scream that is lodged in his throat scratches and claws at his vocal cords, something white hot and terrifying flickering at the base of his spine. He needs to do this. He needs to do this. He needs to do this so he can go home to Eddie and pretend that he found what he’s been looking for. That Eddie isn’t his answer. Because Eddie isn’t allowed to be."

    incredibly (and I mean incredibly) Lucy Dacus', "Please Stay", coded. this part in particular kept running through my head while I was reading this:

    What else am I supposed to do?
    Maybe bar the door when you move to leave

    I think you mean what you say,
    When you say you wanna die
    I think you mean what you say,
    When you say you want to stay alive

    Summary

    Familiars don't get like this unless something has gone very, very wrong with their witch.

    Shane swallows. That complicates things. "Okay," he murmurs, more to himself than the wolf. "I can't treat you out here."

    //
    Shane is a witch living alone in the forest. He finds Ilya, a Familiar, who decides he does not want to leave. It might be a formula for disaster, but Shane's always been quite good with those.

    "Ilya leans forward, ever so slightly, bridging the space between them with his words alone. He is close enough that his breath blooms on Shane’s cheek.
    "This curse is wall, is moat. But it is not the house. The house is warm, and kind, and good.”"

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, buddy,” he says, “I should’ve known you weren’t feeling it.” Shane finally looks at him. He makes a low, unfamiliar sound, vibrating through the water. It is confused and searching, a sound Hayden doesn't hear from him often.

    Somewhere deep in the facility, a heavy impact reverberates through the walls, metal groaning under the strain. Ilya. Hayden closes his eyes. Ilya is bigger, faster. And he wants to kill Shane.

    //
    Hayden thinks the new wild mer in the aquarium, Ilya, is trying to murder his best fish friend, Shane. Turns out he's got it all wrong, and murder is the last thing on their minds.

    Summary

    There’s a new resident moving into the suite across from Buck’s.

    “What’s his name?” Buck asks.

    “Eddie Diaz,” Nurse Corra tells him.“Hey, you know Eddie is also a retired firefighter."

    Eddie Diaz, new recruit, a voice echoes in his mind.

    “Huh.” Buck says. "Never heard of him."
