emh polyblob, "and i can't forget your style or your cynicism / somehow it was like you were the first to listen to everything we said"

Steph is theirs.

That’s the thing that never changes: Steph is theirs, even though they fucked it up at the beginning, because she understands them. She knows them inside-out, and she doesn’t care. She stays with them, wraps herself around them like a blanket and keeps them warm.

It doesn’t matter what happens or how the whole thing ends, because Steph is theirs and that won’t change.

TEEN BEACH MOVIE OT4, "my puzzle life's complete now that i've found the missing piece"

"Yo," Brady says to Tanner one day, "do you ever think about, like. Kissing Mac?"

"No," Tanner says without pause. He never pauses, because he’s not smart enough to, but he’s pretty so that makes up for it. "Why would I think about kissing any chick but Lela?"

Brady shrugs. “Mac and I were talking and, like. She likes you and I like Lela, so like. We were wondering if you’d want to date.”

"I do date," Tanner says. Brady can practically see the smoke rising from his ears. "I’m dating Lela."

"Nevermind," Brady says. He’ll have to regroup with Mac later. "Wanna catch a wave?"

—-

"You know how I was dating Tanner and you were dating Brady for a while?"

Mac’s flopped back on her bed and staring at the stars she and Brady stuck on the ceiling when they were ten. She’s resolutely not looking at Lela, because this is weird enough as it is.

"Of course," Lela says, like that’s the silliest question in the world. "You don’t just forget something like that about your best friend. Why do you ask?"

"Brady and I were just … talking. And we both kind of confessed that even though I was wrong for Tanner at the time and Brady was wrong for you, we’d like to try that again."

There’s a long silence, during which Mac still doesn’t look at Lela. The bed shifts, and Lela lies down next to her and tangles their fingers together.

"You’re my best friend, Mac,” Lela says. She squeezes Mac’s hand. “And I trust you a lot, but I don’t really get what you’re saying.”

"People …" Mac trails off awkwardly, because for all Lela’s adapted to the present she’s still from a world where girls can’t surf just because they’re girls and only boys ask out girls. "They don’t just have to date one person, you know? And I. I like you, and I like Tanner, and I like Brady. So, you know."

"Mac, are you saying what I think you’re saying?" Lela’s voice is quiet, soft. "Mac?"

There’s a beat, and Mac breathes out before she turns her head and presses her lips to Lela’s. She’s done pretending not to want things because she doesn’t think she can have them.

Lela gives a little gasp, but she doesn’t pull away. Instead, her other free hand tangles in Mac’s hair and they kiss until they’re breathless. When they pull apart, Lela touches their foreheads together.

"I trust you," she says. "I … I don’t know what this is, but I trust you. So let’s do it."

nageki/hitori, "i wake up and i feel alone / i was just asleep"

Hitori sleeps, and when he closes his eyes, Nageki is there with him.

They’ll eat millet in the garden, and Nageki will smile like quiet sunrises that sneak up on you. There will be no sadness in the way he holds himself, no sickness slowly killing him from the inside-out.

Just millet, picked from the garden and eaten in fading sunlight like it should be.

I’m such a bother, Nageki will say. Why do you waste your time with me?

You could never be a bother, Hitori says. I love you more than anything else in the world. You are more precious than anything, Nageki.

█▄▀■██ please ██▀ nothing left ▄▀■, Nageki will say.

What are you saying? I can’t hear you, Hitori will say. Nageki? NAGEKI!

I’m sorry, Hitori.

Wake up.

There is nothing.

CYCLERRRRRR

GOD I HATE CYCLER SO MUCH.

KYRIELLA HAS HUNGER GAMES AND I HAVE CYCLER TO FUEL MY NEVER-ENDING MOUNTAINS OF HATE INTO.

[flyingthesky]

holy shit this has literally been sitting in the dump file until this moment, when I remembered it existed. here is a key: striked works are ones I hate with a burning passion. the rules never said I had to like the books, just that they stayed with me. believe me, the few books I hate have stayed with me.

Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just ones that have touched you. Tag ten friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland [Lewis Carroll]

House of Leaves [Mark Z. Danielewski]

The Phantom Tollbooth [Norton Juster]

Boy Meets Boy [David Levithan]

Magic's Pawn [Mercedes Lackey]

(george) [E.L. Konigsburg]*

The Last Unicorn [Peter S. Beagle]

Heart of Darkness [Joseph Conrad]

Cycler [Lauren McLaughlin]

Hero [Perry Moore]

I don't tag anyone, because I always feel weird about that, but feel free to behave as if I have tagged you if you want to do this meme.

* if you decide to look for this book, you're going to need to combine the author and the title. it's sometimes unstylized, but as every instance of the title on the book itself is printed as (george), that's what I've always assumed the title was.
