Summary
Watching Jess peel an orange is a little like watching a pack of feral dogs tear into a kill, and Lupe can’t pull her eyes away.

Summary
They sit in silence for a moment, listening to each other’s breathing, taking turns running their fingers along each other’s palms. It’s easy to get lost in the pull of Greta. For the world to fade away into the periphery and all that’s left is the warmth of Greta’s body. Greta’s hands, soft and steady. Greta’s deep, brown eyes looking into Carson’s like she’s lost in this moment too. All that’s left is a calmness, a stillness, a radiant joy that Carson didn’t know she’d been missing.
--
Or, the time Carson falls asleep in Greta's room with her.

Summary
Distantly, she wonders if this is a bad dream. Maybe she’ll wake up to Ellie beside her in bed like the good days, fewer and farther between as the months wore on. Maybe they’ll cook breakfast together and divide up the chores and take turns making each other laugh. Maybe she’ll feel the security of Ellie’s arms around her again, strong and stable, if only she can wake up.
She pinches herself, digs her fingers into her forearm until her nails leave indentions in the skin.
She doesn’t wake up.
Ellie doesn’t come back.
--
In the wake of Ellie's decision to go to Santa Barbara, she and Dina attempt to rebuild a relationship from the rubble left behind.
--
Or, yet another reconciliation fic, because no amount of reading the beautiful ones already on here has made me stop wanting to write my own feelings down.

Summary
She found herself wanting to spend hours on the couch beside Alex, watching obscure sci-fi movies from the ’80s and stuffing popcorn into their faces, even if it was the third or fourth or fifth time that week they’d done it. She found herself smiling whenever Alex’s eyes landed on hers. She found herself trying at every opportunity to make Alex laugh because Alex’s laugh was a melody of its own: bright and soaring and strong. Her joy was infectious; her boldness was incredible; and her kindness chipped at Steph’s walls piece by piece, brick by brick.
---
Set the day after Alex's talk with spirit-Gabe about her future, Steph hears what Alex has decided to do.

Summary
Chloe and Rachel are kind of in a weird place. When Max comes back to Arcadia Bay, it makes everything weirder.
---
No powers/dark room/death in this one, but there are lots of feelings. I'm not planning on this becoming Amberpricefield romantically, but their relationships with each other are the crux of this whole thing.
Loosely inspired by the How to Live Here series. It's stunning and you should go read it!

Summary
Jess takes a final drag and maybe she performs a little, because she wants to see what’ll happen: maybe she licks her lips before, maybe she leans so the jut of her collarbone stands out underneath her shirt, maybe she makes a point to catch García’s eye when she inhales, when the smoke pulls into her chest, when she hitches her breath to keep it there.
Because García is watching, she has Jess pinned with her eyes, and this is probably a goddamn catastrophe of an idea (come on, don’t shit where you eat, McCready) but something about it feels alive to Jess, feels jittery and itchy like the buzz of a radio, like a snakebite under her skin. It feels right when the whole fucking day has felt wrong.

Summary
"Dina brought the button-up close to her face, slowly closed her eyes, and deeply breathed in the lingering scent.
It smelled like…
...like the earth out in the woods.
Like the soap they all shared in the bath, tinged with lavender.
Like the oil she had watched Ellie rub into the fretboard of her old guitar.
Like whiskey.
Like Ellie."
A slow burn, Dina-centric story, about whether or not love can ever find it's way back home through hurt and loss.
Complete.

Summary
Takes place right after Part II
On her way back to Jackson, Ellie spends the night in an abandoned little cabin in the woods. If she had known that the cabin would teleport her into a world where the cordyceps doesn't exist and Joel is very much alive, she'd have made a ten mile detour around it.
But as it is, she's stuck in a modern Jackson now and neither she nor Joel have any idea how to get her back. Ellie has no choice but to confront her demons, and Joel—
Well, he has a few demons of his own to deal with.
