Summary
Through her complex and long-reaching web of informants, whistleblowers, sleuths, eavesdroppers, plain old gossips, and other agents of truth, Enid hears all about Wednesday Addams long before her new roomie arrives at the school.
Now, how much of the truth is true, is another matter entirely. Enid has heard every version of the tale of how she got expelled from her previous school, from Wednesday Addams filling the entire pool with acid right before swim-team practice, to her going totally Texas Chainsaw Massacre on one boy and hacking all of his limbs off.
But you shouldn’t judge a person by the rumours surrounding them, right?

Summary
The next man is a tiny thing, slender as a skinned rabbit. His head is shaved and he keeps his chin ducked low, eyes on the ground between his knees. Ambessa’s hand consumes his, ridges of his bone digging into her calloused flesh. His handshake is light, weak, barely attempted.
She tries to release him, disgusted, disappointed with this entire impotent town—but his fingertips slide down to encircle the back of her wrist. Quick, the white flash of teeth before a bite, he flips her hand back and presses a kiss to the centre of her palm.
*
Both of Ambessa’s children take after their father.

Summary
He snags a glimpse of her, heart punching, anger flushing down to his fingertips. The smoke distorts; her braids made living, thrashing things, limbs made disjointed and wrong. Jinx turns, eyes bright, and thumbs her nose at him.
Then she’s gone.

Ekko, on being the last man standing.

Summary
“It’s dead already,” Nathan states, wiping down a kitchen knife in slow, languid movements. The cook knows to make himself scarce when the Butcher’s in a mood like this. “It won’t last six months out of the womb.”
“It’s a Hatford.” She reminds him, leaning against the counter. Then, like peeling the skin from her shoulders; “It’s a Wesninski.”
*
Mary Hatford loved her son. This did not make her a good mother.

Summary
Dan and Wymack manage to condense Neil’s description to a single sentence, which they rattle off like the early morning traffic report to every hospital and police station in the tri-state area. The first time Wymack says, “Hello, is this the Binghamton General mortuary? I'm looking for a Neil Josten, red hair…” the bus goes apocalyptically silent until Wymack ends the call and says, “Nothing.”
“Nothing,” Nicky repeats hoarsely, and bursts into tears.
*
Binghamton to Baltimore, from nine different perspectives.

I really enjoy this entire series. I would genuinely read 200k words of Grace and Rocky just hanging out and talking about their respective cultures like this.

"Would you still be my friend if I wasn't brave?"
Definitely the best Rocky POV fic I've read. Captures its utter loneliness during those 46 years extremely well. Also very much succeeds at making humans seem alien and Eridians seem normal.

Raaaaugh this is so messy and delicious and stomach-turning and brilliant. Genuinely cannot stop thinking about this fic.

Summary
If Shane had had a good, close friend, a confidante, somebody he could talk to about whatever was happening between him and Ilya Rozanov, and that good close friend got it in their head that maybe Shane liked Ilya, had feelings for him, one of the first things Shane would say to refute it would be: but he smokes.
Shane, Ilya, cigarettes - a love triangle for the ages.

Bookmarker's Notes
It hurt in a new way to see that Shane still wanted him, that whatever had broken between them hadn’t been the desire. Shane still wanted him but Shane could shirk a bad habit.
Every single work in this series is amazing and should be savoured slowly like fine wine. But this one, for some reason, is the best to me. The absolute platonic ideal of Shane and Ilya.

Summary
The Raiders beat the Sharks 6-1 and Rozanov gets three points and the first star of the game and there's no text waiting for Shane about how Shane should be planning the way he's gonna reward Rozanov the next time they see each other.
It's fine. It's only been a week—nine days—and it's not like they were frequent texters before. Rozanov was always the one to initiate their exchanges, so Shane is doing well to follow his lead and not be like that girl who hooked up with J.J. and couldn't catch a hint afterwards, increasingly desperate texts being passed around the Metros locker room until finally someone suggested he block the crazy bitch.
Shane processes his first time with Rozanov.

This is different for Rozanov, he reminds himself as he turns the shower to scalding, needing to fight off the sudden cold that's overtaken him. Shane isn't kidding himself.
This fic gave me an actual pit in my stomach. Lol.
