Summary
She would push from that handle, let herself in that room through the half-cracked door, and be greeted with smiles. With soft songs, or the sounds of her son laughing, giggling, being posed for sketches or tossed and bounced around; the feeling of the open window’s breeze.

Summary
With a slow blink, stilted, those doe-eyes turn to meet his own. There’s a small amount of recognition behind the gaze.
“I’m gonna get a rag and we can get that stuff off'a you, get you cleaned up,” he continues. And he waits.
After a moment, she shifts a bit — loosens her grip on the coat wrapped around her sides.
"Okay."
(or: good dad joel miller)

Summary
You don’t feel like yourself right now. And you don’t want to confront it; you just want to sit with it.
(or: dissociation in a bathroom. that's it.)

And she wants to touch him, comfort him — but she’s not certain he’d accept that at the moment.
(or: a tiny little extension tacked onto the end of the scene where they find the remains of the second girl)

Surely, he misheard that. Surely, the absolute mountain of a day he’s had is just getting to him.
“Our sons, you mean."

Up and down these roads they whisper
Of Willy the Kid, the Green-Eyed Stranger
They call him Jackson's finest son
The Ghost of Old Wyoming . . .

After Santa Barbara, Ellie needs an escape: from their family, from their own head, from the world. They leave with a rifle, a horse, and a promise: to figure out who they are on the open road or die trying. But the road tends to bring you places you'd never thought you'd go, and the West has always had a habit of making legends of mortal men.

Summary
Not sure there's even any me left, anymore. Her own words echo in her head. She tries her best to ignore them.
Betty Grof has to save Simon Petrikov. That's just the way things are. There is no other ending to this story. No other option, no other outcome. What might happen to Betty is irrelevant. Inconsequential. It doesn't have to be a happy outcome. Not for her.
For Simon, though, anything less is unacceptable.

Summary
Mary’s hand joined his on her stomach, resting gently over his knuckles, cool and soft and smooth where his mechanic’s hands were warm and callused and rough. “I thought…” she bit her lip and a furrow appeared between her eyebrows. “I thought we could name him, or her, for my parents.”
There was a silence between them shared for a while, a depth of loss and loneliness as they both remembered their parents.
“Samuel,” John whispered to the solid mound of flesh underneath both of their hands. The silence was broken as she smirked slightly and shook her head, rolling her eyes with fondness and sadness and pinched the top of his hand.
“And Deanna, if it’s a girl,” she reminded.
It was a girl.

Summary
He looks up at Herbert, and for a moment, he doesn’t say or do anything. Just stares. Herbert carefully adjusts his grip on his pencil; he’s stabbed men for less than this.
“You were jealous.” Dan says, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
(or, i de-canonize the events after 'bride' and send these guys on a roadtrip to fight, yearn, and kiss)

Summary
Her arms are folded over her chest for the three-block walk. Jacket zipper pulled all the way to her chin. There’s nothing suspicious about this. She repeats to herself, though, it might even be less suspicious if she just held the aluminum cleaner she was hiding. And if anyone asked she would blame it on Joel. Because Joel sounds like the kind of guy that would need aluminum cleaner.
Certainly not her.
When she reaches her house, she’s relieved to be inside. Presses her back against the front door, locks it, and take a big breath in. She places the bottle of aluminum cleaner on the kitchen counter, watching the blue liquid inside swishing around the edges. She reads the label all the way around, especially the part in bold letters that says CORROSIVE LIQUID Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Well.
or; a retelling of The Chemical Burn
