Summary
It takes Adora’s breath away, how Catra holds her like she’s the most precious thing in the world; Catra, who knows her inside and out, who once had the power to destroy her, nearly did, but now chooses to heal her instead. Now the hands that saved her are the ones that tend to her, putting back together what they had once threatened to tear apart.
Or: A study in what it means to want, to heal, and to hold.

Summary
Two boys step through a portal in Miyagi. Only one of them returns home.
Twenty years after the fact, Hajime finds himself cursed by the Witch of the Waste, and goes to seek help from none other than the Great Wizard Oikawa: master of the Moving Castle, eater of hearts, and the inevitable bane of Hajime's existence. Unable to speak to Oikawa about his curse, however, he makes a bargain with the wizard’s fire demon instead, who promises Hajime's freedom from the curse in exchange for his own. As Hajime sets out to uncover the truth behind the wizard and his curse, he realizes that his and Oikawa’s lives may be more entangled than he could have ever imagined.

Summary
Now Tooru looks at the pothos, how it cascades like a waterfall and curls around the windowframe; how it takes up a larger space in Tooru’s lived-in apartment than anything else ever has. He wonders what Iwaizumi would think of it all: the new pot he’d bought after it had outgrown the one on his windowsill, the little hooks he’d put up to keep its longer stems in place. The endless yield of love and the extent of its longing.
Still, he lets it continue to grow.
Or: How love, too, is something you make bloom.

Summary
“Nice to meet you, Oikawa-sensei,” remarks Iwa-chan, reaching out a hand. It takes a second for Tooru to realize it’s an offer for a handshake—and another for her to start breathing again after Iwa-chan clasps her hand in hers. Everything about it is familiar: the slope of her knuckles, the lines of her palm, the soft press of flesh underneath her fingers.
“I’m Dr. Iwaizumi Hajime,” Iwa-chan says, and Tooru wonders how unprofessional it is for them to still be holding hands.
Or: Five long years after going their separate ways, marine scientists Tooru and Hajime meet on the same shore.

Summary
“I could probably triangulate an entry point,” Entrapta says, “but whoever goes in there...well, it’s the underworld. There’s no way of knowing what’s down there, and it’s not a place for mortals. Anyone who makes that journey probably won’t come back.”
Catra’s on her feet now, facing the room. Bow and Glimmer shoot her concerned looks; Catra ignores them. It’s a shot in the dark, but Catra would take it blindfolded even in the light of day. She’s crossed dimensions, defied boundaries, torn a hole in the fabric of reality. She’s broken the world to destroy Adora; she can break it again to save her.
“Find the entrance,” she says to Entrapta, her voice brittle but steady. “I’ll go.”

Summary
“I figured it out about a month before graduation.”
When Oikawa explains this, they are sitting together in a boat in the middle of Lake Pichola, India, hiding at the end of the fourteenth century with no one to bother them. Hajime sifts his hand through the water to cool his face while Oikawa pauses to collect himself, sights fixed on the royal blue of an emerging night sky. He holds two fingers up to the yellowed moon, pinches it into forced perspective, and palms it completely to force the light out of his eye. At the view, he smiles like he’s defeated all the knowing gods, the fates and their fickle futures, and humbles himself from the stratosphere.
“You know the story, Iwa-chan,” Oikawa tells him, back on earth. “Boy jumps to Miyagi in attempt to run away. It is raining, when he meets another, and they are both five years old. Neither of them can decide if he is from years past, or years to come. Hell, he could be a monster, for all they know.”

Bookmarker's Notes
“Love is a living, breathing thing; it makes the tired hitches in his back, the cracks in reaching palms; they are the winds that sweep Hajime from one world into the next, knocking him on the knees and telling him to get the hell back up again.”
