Summary
The first time Stolas hears it is—well, it's not actually the first time, as it were, but it feels almost like it, what with the raw, phoenix through a flame state of his body and mind. It's the first time since his hospitalization, certainly, between all the stress and the tests and Blitz slipping off into the bathroom to have a panic attack where he can't see, and it's quite the nice surprise, after all the other, much nastier surprises he's been subjected to lately.
All this blathering is to say, it nearly makes him jump, the first time he finds Blitz purring in his lap, just loud enough to startle.
Or
There isn't much Blitz can do, when faced with Stolas' suffering. But he can, at least, do this.

Summary
She doesn’t remember her childhood, but she does, admittedly, remember glimpses of someone else’s. Not hers, not anymore, yet they stay a tender bruise on her heart nonetheless.
They happen most often around Wolfwood. She will not think about why.
Or
Hollyhock doesn’t have a childhood to miss. Her heart, however, disagrees.

Summary
There is a gentleness, Stolas finds, to a love with meaning. A love that’s meant. It’s not the kind he expected, in that the presence of joy does not entail the absence of pain, but it still manages to be a much sweeter taste than he had anticipated, lingering on his tongue long after the moments have passed.
Or
A burden is eased, in its own way.

Summary
It is one of those oddly contradictory facts Stolas’ life seems so filled with, that he thinks about this often enough to have a plan, yet never truly considers it. It isn’t an easy course to take, even if he truly wanted to, and he’s never been sure of the truth of the desire, has he? Does it really count as something to worry about if he never means it? If there’s always something stopping him? The chains of obligation are heavy, yes, but at least they keep him grounded. Every ill fate has its silver lining, does it not? He supposes his is that he has no choice but to live.
The plan goes like this: he waits for a day where Octavia is out with her mother.
Or
Stolas tries to let go. His loved ones won't let him.

Summary
At nineteen, Nicholas questioned the very God he claimed to worship. He truly considered stepping away from religion entirely.
Then, at twenty-five, a real life angel laid in Nicholas' bed — beautiful and holy just as the Bible said they would be. And the angel begged for donuts and back rubs in return for sending his kid off to the babysitter for them to have their weekly date night.

Summary
What fiery resolve. Allow me to answer your call then. You, who will not turn a blind eye to the maddening truth of the world-who seeks the way forward through the waters of deceit. Come now, and reveal to all the depths of obsession.
The pain that squeezes itself around Futaba’s temples isn’t sudden and sharp. It snaps through a threshold to suddenly make her aware of it, a growing constraint trying to ensnare her with her guard down. A kind of tension she didn’t know was there until it’s already too much to stomach.
She lurches forward, swaying with the effort. The thought is sudden and childish, that she refuses to be knocked off her feet.
I am thou, thou art I. Come, little prophet of doom, let us leave them nowhere to hide.
or: Futaba Sakura is the wildcard, and also the only thing between the world and utter ruin. You know. No pressure.
