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
She kisses Murphy’s cheek and while he makes a show of wiping it off, she kisses Bellamy’s forehead again. “I’m not asking you to check his pulse and give him a sponge bath, Murph. Just channel the empathy I know’s inside you somewhere for a few hours until I get back home.”
“He’s sitting right here,” Bellamy says, annoyed by every single thing happening in his life right now. Neither Octavia nor Murphy so much as look at him.
“Empathy?” Murphy crosses his arms. “Have you met me?”
Octavia studies Murphy for a moment, sighs, and says, “Yeah…Dig deep.”
She pats Murphy twice on the shoulder and then she’s gone, leaving Murphy and Bellamy alone to stare at each other over a coffee table littered with a variety of cough syrups and cold medicines and boxes of tissues.
---
Bellamy's sick and neither he nor Murphy have any idea what they're doing.

Summary
Max goes back in time to the day Rachel got kidnapped in the hopes of helping Chloe find her before it's too late, but Rachel has secrets Chloe isn't prepared to deal with.
This is basically my head cannon for what should have happened at the end of LiS and exploring Chloe and Rachel's relationship during the time between BtS and LiS since we don't see that.
Chloe's POV, heavily Amberprice. Possible TW because the Dark Room is in there but nothing is explicit. There's some sex in there too, but nothing super graphic. Also there's lots of cussing because it's Chloe.
