    Summary

    Hank isn't anything special. He has an impressive intellect, but that just means he's the kind of guy Alex should be shoving into lockers and throwing things at from the back of the class.
    He's not the kind of guy Alex is supposed to think is cute.
    Alex isn't even supposed to like guys.

    Summary

    Curt spins and flings his arms around Owen, pulling him close. Owen huffs out a laugh and pats Curt’s shoulder. When Curt can bear to pull back, he drinks in the sight of Owen in front of him for the first time in far too long; his hair’s grown out in the way it does when he goes too long between haircuts, and his jacket is dirtier, but his smile at the sight of Curt is the same.
    “Curt,” Owen responds softly, cupping his face in one hand. Then his smile turns smug, in the way it does when he thinks he’s about to be hilarious. “Or should I be calling you Tadius?”
    “No,” Curt snaps, so quickly he almost overlaps with Owen speaking. Owen drops his hand and laughs.

    -

    Curt Mega, undercover in Bogs Hollow as Tadius, is bored out of his mind. Owen is generous enough to drop in when he finds the time.

    Summary

    "You were afraid of me.”

    Owen shouldn't say anything. Any answer he could give would only hurt him more. But now he's thinking of the way Curt's face crumpled when he reached out and Owen jerked back like his touch was fire, and of another man's back turned to him as the world burst into endless pain, and of the hands fisted in his shirt right before they pushed him into the dreamt-dark of the ocean—and suddenly, Curt worried gaze looks a lot like the same pitying eyes they gave him when he first woke up in a medical unit, and he asked for his partner.

    What a strange sensation it is, to feel so much like an explosive, all the time. His blood thrumming with its energy, always moments away from sparking into uncontrolled violence at the gentlest push. He's so tired of the way it fills his head with this crackling, impatient noise—the way the world seems to warp around him—the way his heart feels like it's slipping out through his ribs.

    His voice is too sharp when he says, firm and unflinching: "I was."

    Summary

    New York, 1899.
    David Jacobs fights alongside his fellow newsies. He is with them. His voice is sore from yelling, his legs are tired from running.

    New York, 2019.
    David Jacobs wakes up in the middle of the night. He is alone. His hands are shaking, his forehead is burning up, and he suddenly remembers names and faces he should not know.

    Flashes of memories are making their way through his mind, flying through at a rapid pace. He’s walking through central park, holding hands with Sarah in pigtails. Then he’s running through the same surroundings, laughter in his chest, adrenaline shooting through his veins, and with the figure of someone much larger than Sarah running alongside him.
