Summary
When Eddie had gotten back to New York with three screws in her collarbone, a scar on her cheek, a week and a half of unread emails in her inbox, and two reports due to clients that her team had utterly failed to deliver on in her absence, her primary concern had been catching up. Eddie did not actually mind one bit that she cared more immediately about this than she did about life, death, and the sacred bonds of friendship. After all, anyone would rather choose to run a marathon than find themselves suddenly being chased 26.2 miles by a sabre-tooth tiger. Life would leap at any chance you gave it to take your options away, but you were always free to take on a set of worries of your own choosing.
Of course, sometimes those choices didn't feel like choices. Sometimes you found yourself surrounded by people running in the same direction as you, flanked on either side by spectators measuring your pace, and the fact that you'd chosen this particular finish line became irrelevant, because you didn't have any choice anymore over whether you were going to keep moving toward it. This was probably still better than nothing.

Summary
Gansey shuddered. “It’s the sensation, Jane. We did not evolve to enjoy being struck with needles at a rate of two thousand times per second.” Blue considered asking Mr. Republican Legacy if the Good Old Party had changed their stance on evolution lately, but Adam cut in first.
“Minute,” he corrected. “Two thousand times per minute.” He held up a fist to Blue, who bumped it without hesitation.
[Or, the one where Blue, Adam, and Gansey own a tattoo shop across the street from Ronan and Noah's floral shop and everyone's feelings get a little out of hand.]

This is a story about two people who met once, and how one of them died.
I owe credit to William Blake and the writing prompts on nosebleedclub.tumblr.com for inspiration.
