Summary
When he watches Alyx's fingers run across the handle of her pocket knife—strands of her hair splayed across the nape of her neck while she bobs her head rhythmlessly in the tune of a song she'd listened to on the radio years back—Gordon decides he'd rather play safe than sorry with fate. For them to not be caught off guard by the Combine and risk their lives over his own stupid, fragile humanity.
In retrospect, it's a fairly easy decision for him to make.
(or: learning that it's okay to be human)

Summary
Maverick wakes up with an overwhelming sense of deja vu. It’s almost as if he’s lived through the day before… but that, obviously, is a ridiculous idea.
*
It takes him a couple of days to discover he’s not alone in this time loop.

"But that doesn't matter now. I'm back, right?" His free hand found Bill's shoulder, causing the other to look up. "Things are gonna be okay. Sure, it took a little while, and it's a little different, but -- " Smiling gently, he squeezed Bill's shoulder.
"It's still us, right?"
Us, echoed Bill's mind, unhelpfully.

Summary
Maverick wonders if it's always going to be like this--this burning want under his skin, the total awareness his body seems to have of Ice. The surge of want that always seems to grip him, even at the most inappropriate of times. He wonders if he's ever going to be able to be around Ice and function like a human being. Thankfully, Ice seems to have the same problem as Maverick.
Or--
Five times Maverick and Ice have sex in places they totally weren't planning to. A prompt given to me by thecarlysutra on tumblr.

Abed has a hard day and Troy is there for him. The style of this is a little experimental, so consider this your warning.

"I doubt they would've been interested anyway."
Danny snapped out of it. "In what?"
Nicholas laughed. "My fantasies, such as they are. And I take it you're not really that obsessed with Bond girls, are you, admirable though they may be?"
It was Danny's turn to laugh. "No, not really. There are plenty of other things in the world worth wanting!"
"Such as?" Nicholas asked, raising his eyebrows. So fucking earnest.
"Things I can't have," answered Danny, simply, looking him square in the eye.

Summary
It wasn’t Rooster’s fault.
Rooster didn’t know how Hangman could possibly know about his dad, but he did. And unfortunately, it caught him off guard, so he did all he could do and snapped. It backfired and everything seemed to be falling into pieces with the mission only pressing closer.
He doesn't expect what comes next. He doesn't expect to see him in the darkened hallway that evening. He doesn't expect himself to willingly follow Hangman into the darkness of his room, lock sliding shut as soon as they enter.
It only takes one hit to become addicted.
And he doesn't know what to do about it.

This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.
EDIT 6/28/17: The third chapter now shows how to use anchor links as an index/table of contents.
