Summary
There’s a word for things that are star-shaped; cells throughout our bodies, sand dollars, the core of an apple sliced across its middle, and the stars themselves. So when you look at the night sky, and see the points of light we are so lucky to observe, know that someone decided that- despite it being so rarely seen- the shape of our stars was worth describing.
When William looks at Vyncent, he can feel what people felt when they decided to name the constellations after the things they knew and loved, or perhaps, feared. Every star-shaped cell inside William’s body was built to endure this ache, and he relishes in the glow-in-the-dark stars that watch their every move in Vyncent’s dorm, even as they fade with every passing hour. There’s something between them, and neither of them can deny it anymore. It’s something small, something blooming and radiating- something stellate.

Summary
William should have known. He’s read every book on the occult, and watched more movies about the supernatural than he can count. Yet, no red flags had been raised when Vyncent started avoiding stroganoff more than usual, and flinched at sunlight, and freaked out over William’s band shirt with religious imagery on it.
They’re all strange, so why would this change be any different than the other billion things wrong with the Prime Defenders? But that’s just the thing, isn’t it–William spent far too long staring at Vyncent instead of actually looking.
OR: Vyncent gets turned into a vampire, and William has some incredibly strong, confusing, and bisexual feelings about it.

Summary
Martin swears he used to be optimistic when he was younger. But. You spend 32 years mostly alone, eventually you start thinking practically. Martin doesn’t get things like this. He doesn’t get to stay up late in cafés with cute boys and flirt and get asked out at 4:00 in the morning.
He thinks, as he crawls back into bed half an hour later to try and salvage at least a little bit more rest before tomorrow begins, that he really hopes Jon proves him wrong. He hopes Jon sticks around.
Or: Somewhere Else, Jon and Martin get the chance to fall in love without the weight of everything they left behind.

Summary
Jon wouldn’t say he’s happy, what with Martin being so upset, but his concern is underpinned by how strangely good it feels to be able to have hard days in the normal way; to lament bad weather and wet socks; to have problems that are nothing a lazy night in and good company won't fix. They fought so hard, to have days like this.
or: Martin has a day as mundane as it is long. Jon rises to the occasion.
