    Summary

    “The author of the journals,” Stan said, finally standing up. "My brother."

    The author of the journals, his brother, looked at the miniscule crowd that had arrived by accident to greet him. The author looked between them all, and Dipper could see reflection on his face from the light of the slowly dimming portal. The author’s gaze finally settled on Stan, and his posture stiffened.

    “Dad?” The author of the journals, his brother, choked out. He sounded absolutely baffled.

    Stan’s expression turned equally baffled, clearly not anticipating this. “What?”

    *** *** ***

    The portal has opened, and spat out Stanford Filbrick Pines, exactly as he was when he left. Thirty years has passed for the outside world, but only a few hours have been lost for him.

    It changes things. Especially with the worst memories of Ford's life still hot on his tail, and eager to make a reappearance.

    Summary

    Ford is endlessly distracted by his feelings for his muse. Not that he'll ever admit this. It would be useless information for Bill to have, after all, wouldn't it?

    (Bill leads Ford down the path to accepting a deal with him without a second thought.)

    Summary

    In which Coriolanus Snow is handsomely rewarded for his tribute winning the Games and in turn handsomely rewards his prize, Lucy Gray, herself.


    He's gone solemn now in the afterglow, serious. He cares for his own, Snow, she sees that with his family, and now she is one of them. Not his family, but something he owns. His prize, his ward, his girl.

    Is she to be his mistress then? she thinks hazily as she slips towards sleep. Is that the future for her? To escape from the viper's den into the viper's mansion?

    She shivers and he drags her closer, one large hand tucked around her hip.

    Well, she can't escape now even if she wants to, she thinks, sinking into the softness of the plush mattress, burrowing back into the heat and warmth of her jailor.

    Summary

    Maybe, as Kendall had suggested: he might die without a purpose, and if that were to happen, Shiv had realised: maybe she would have blood on her hands. She suppressed a terrifying thought that maybe she already did. But she knew, and she knew Kendall knew, deep down, that he wouldn’t have led the company very well at all. There was a possibility that she had actually saved him from a fate worse than death.

    At least with Tom piloting the plane, she had some sort of hold on power— the issue was that whilst he was in the cockpit, she was stuck in Economy, with a baby on the way. Shiv didn’t know yet whether being power-adjacent was worth permanently losing Kendall.
