The Little Things
As I’m sure some of you will already know, sometimes a shop evolves into much more than a shop. It becomes a place where people go when they feel sad, or happy, or when they need sanctuary from the rituals of day-to-day life.*
As I’m sure some of you will already know, sometimes a shop evolves into much more than a shop. It becomes a place where people go when they feel sad, or happy, or when they need sanctuary from the rituals of day-to-day life.*
Frank loves Gerard’s stupid faces and his ideas that make him wake Frank up in the middle of the night, but try as he might he can’t remember thinking back then ‘this dude is awesome; clearly I want to host a nature show with him.’*
Spencer really finds this new version of Ryan supremely irritating.*
When Gerard turns up at his door, duffle-bag stuffed with any clothes he could find, clean or dirty, Patrick huffs a laugh and steps back to let Gerard through.*
The third time Spencer comes home to find Brendon sat in the back garden with his feet in the pool, reading a soggy paperback and waiting for him, Spencer gives him a key to the house. “Didn’t you get that cut for Haley?” Ryan asks. Spencer just shrugs. “She’s not here that often anyway,” he says.*
“Jesus Christ,” Spencer says, and stabs his fork into his lettuce. It doesn’t help any. “How the fuck do you misplace a five-liter bottle of copper solution? Especially if it’s five-molar copper solution — the shit is bright blue, Ryan, it’s bright fucking blue.”*
Ageswap AU, in which Pete is still young enough that people are hopeful he will one day act his age, Joe is under no such illusion, and Patrick and Andy are old enough to know better (but young enough to do it anyway).*
Ryan plans weddings! Just not gay weddings. Ok, maybe just this once.*
“I don’t know,” Patrick said anxiously, hesitating with his hand on the door handle. Through the glass window he could see people milling around inside the room, some settling themselves on the floor, others mingling and introducing each other.*
Tonight is a hotel night, blessedly, but while the soft pillows and fresh sheets are calling to him like a dreamy sonata, hotel night also means sex-with-Ryan night, and Brendon is not passing that up.*
“Hey, hey, hey,” Jon whispers into Spencer’s ear one morning when it’s raining. “What are your thoughts on babies?”* Sequel to The Way I See It #219.
A funeral is really the wrong place to learn you’ve inherited a business.*
A coda to All I Want For Christmas is You, where Brendon and Spencer were working as elves at the mall.* This picks up on New Year’s Eve.
Brendon and Spencer are college students in Chicago working as elves at Santa’s Christmas Wonderland in the mall. At first, Spencer is jealous because Brendon is great with the screaming and crying kids who come to see Santa. He’s also just a tiny bit irritated by Brendon’s boundless energy and enthusiasm. Then he finds himself developing a crush and pining away for Brendon — only to be confused by Brendon’s sudden affection for Ryan, Spencer’s best friend/roommate and Brendon’s classmate in a music performance class at school. Ryan works at a bookstore in the mall, Jon works at Starbucks, and there are lots of faily boys having cliched misunderstandings.*
Sometimes things just happen.* To find this eries, go to the HP section and scroll about halfway down the page.
On a routine mission through the Stargate, SG-1 finds someone from Daniel’s past, and she changes how they see each other forever.*
After the first day, McKay had sniffed imperiously, chin tipped up, and told him that he wasn’t a complete idiot, and his shame would only be marginal if they were seen together outside of class. Instead of telling him to fuck off, John had grinned sardonically and drawled a mocking, “Thanks,” and McKay took that as the olive branch it wasn’t and bullied his way into John’s daily life.*
Young Harry Potter was always different. He preferred reading over playing with other children. He had a strange talent for communicating with animals, and he always felt a strong pull toward one, Draco Malfoy. The problem? Draco is betrothed to someone else.*

They finally go out on their first tour with an actual bus, and Cash is totally ruining it by acting way too strangely.*
And so begins Alex’s Eternal Hatred and Disdain towards everything Cash Colligan.*
Ryan has very rarely been content with his life. He’s been happy and he’s been morose and he’s been everything in between, but he’s always strived for something more. It’s never really been enough.*
He’s pretty sure if Brendon asks what’s going on with him and Ryan, like really asks, and breaks out his patient, “I’m listening” face and big fucking earnest eyes. Jon’s not going to be able to keep from saying something like “So I kinda really want to fuck me. How’d I go about getting that, you think?”*
Neither Brendon or Spencer are answering his calls, and it’s frustrating. Because Ryan knows their house will be toasty warm, and he wants in.* Follows Talks Like a Gentleman.
Crack!fic in which Spencer has weird dreams, questions his sexuality, and spends a lot of time hiding things away in boxes in his mind.*
Tuesdays were finger-painting days. Frank made sure to wear his oldest pair of jeans, because even with his full-length apron and his constant reminds that paint belongs on paper and not on clothing, he always ended up with tiny, multi-colored hand prints all over his clothes
Gerard comes out. Vaguely set during Projeckt Runway, but I played fast and loose with canon, so be warned.*
Something’s thrown everything out of balance. Trick is to fix it without screwing up, or maybe ending the world.*

Booth brings Brennan home for Thanksgiving strictly as a partner, but fate, namely his mother, has other things in mind.*
He made it to the bathroom and stood there learning heavily on the sink, staring at himself in the mirror. He didn’t look like a creepy sadist. But neither did Christian Bale, and that hadn’t ended well for anybody.*
Nothing beats beating people at Crash, whether it be at pool, at drinking, or at life in general.*
Patrick has his headphones on, which is like saying Patrick has pants on – except that his teachers don’t make him take off his pants during class, which Patrick appreciates.*
After the fifth night of pretty damn near no sleep, Pete didn’t so much ask Andy to switch places with him for a while as he begged, threatened, cajoled, and eventually bribed him.*
Pete’s a music producer. Patrick’s a studio muscisian who needs a flatmate. Mikey Way’s an enabler.*
Pete attempts to convince Patrick to move in together.*
There came a day, pretty early on, when Pete and Ashley could not for the life of them get Bronx to stop screaming.*
Most of the other penguins would roll their eyes at the little kid sliding happily over the ice and singing wordless songs at the top of his lungs, but Patrick didn’t care.*
Fact: If you can see Patrick Martin Stumph, he can see you. If you can’t see Patrick Martin Stumph, you may be only seconds away from death.*
Things Pete has learned about his band mates that he didn’t know before they went on tour (that first time, when everything was new and every mile was one mile farther than he’d ever been, and the van started to feel like home somewhere in Wyoming, with snowy farmer’s fields on either side under a sky like gray wool)*
Recently, Pete has taken to texting Patrick approximately four thousand times a day.*
Patrick is a studio musician. Peter is in a boyband. No, seriously.* I’ve linked to the most recently finished chapter. You may have to do a little investigating to find future chapters until I can get a link to the final chapter.
“I like that you’re expressing yourself with your camera phone in a way that doesn’t involve your genitals, but can you leave me out of it, please?”*
When counting down all the best parts of being a rock star, no one would really put ‘makes it easier to beat off’ on the list. Or at least Pete Wentz would have told you that, if you’d asked him yesterday.*
Patrick was tired; that kind of tired where you just stand around stupidly, blinking at the tiny room with its tinier beds, while your band-mates staggered about, throwing down their bags and rooting around for toothbrushes and maybe a change of clothes. Or in Pete’s case, actual underwear he’d put on because he was going commando under his tight jeans at that very moment.*
Patrick rubbed his nose as he put down the guitar and snagged Pete’s loose notes; he was safely hidden away in Joe’s basement, forcing some words and music together. He had deliberately chosen to spend some time in Joe’s house, instead of Pete’s, because he couldn’t bother with all the questions. Really, he just couldn’t.* Sequel to Circa 2001.
Pete takes Patrick to Neverland; the re-telling of Peter Pan.*
They’re rare, these lazy Saturday evenings alone, after lazier Satuday afternoons and even lazier mornings when they don’t untwine themselves until nearly noon, and there are a million other things they could be doing—should be doing, really—but instead they’re lying here, rain running in long, thin rivulets down the windows as they sprawl across their bed.*
One night a couple years back, in the middle of someone’s house party after a show, Patrick asks Pete if he wants to have sex.*
Patrick turns seventeen on the usual day and in the usual way: he oversleeps, cuts himself shaving, folds his birthday waffle in half (it has extra chocolate chips and a whipped cream smiley face with hearts for eyes that turns into a good-intentioned mess when the sides press together), and eats it on the way to school.*
Brendon turns into a koala while on tour in Australia. Really. There’s not much else I can say after that.*
Sometimes your suddenly sentient action figures need to teach you valuable life lessons. Just saying.*
Currently PeteandPatrick, also PetePatrick, still no surprising anybody, are sitting in a hotel room in varying states of frustration.*
Pete’s doorbell rings at 5:26 p.m. on his thirtieth birthday, roughly four hours before any of his friends are supposed to show up to help him get blitzed out of his mind. Pete is far from opposed to pre-gaming, but four hours is kind of pushing it. Like, even Joe’s not there yet.*
“Dude,” Pete says, dropping down onto the lounge couch next to Patrick. “Dude, did you know we’re playing a bar show in Billings?”*
The day Pete meets Patrick, he wakes up to the sound of rain against his windows.*
Mal has an option about Simon that he is asked to prove.* This is just barely over the “too schmoopy!” line for me, but the sex is too hot to not share.
When a job goes bad, Simon discovers that there is a power in the ‘verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful.*
Spencer couldn’t remember when they’d had the baby discussion. If he had to guess he’d say it must’ve happened some time after Brendon packed up his Chicago apartment and moved to Vegas to live with Spencer. They went through a whole laundry list of discussions that weekend though, ranging from how Brendon liked cold showers in the summer, to how Spencer really hated lukewarm soda.* Pseudo sequel to Shattered Glass and Sounding Drums.
Patrick is a widower and young father. Pete is an advertising exec with a failing relationship. When Patrick’s daughter makes a call to a radio shrink, lives intersect and shenanigans ensue.*

Five years after the end of Omiai, Clark and Lex host their first Christmas in their new house.* Sequel to Omiai and The Oak Tree and the Cypress.

Inspired by Jensen’s story at the Paley Festival. He takes a shortcut through the mental hospital from Asylum. It’s CREEPY. And then Jared shows up.*

Sam and Dean investigate a series of disappearances and end up learning a lot more than they bargained for.*
In which Ray has trouble letting go, Fraser is stern, and someone goes to school.* A preview to A Passing Feeling.

The summer before college, Rodney the camp counselor meets John the lifeguard at Camp Atlantis. Homesick kids, campfires, and Scooby Doo Mysteries ensue.*
Yohji was on the corner across the street when he heard the low, annoyed shout of “Buy something or LEAVE!” echo out from inside the flower shop.*
Life is all about sizzle for rising poker star Jared Padalecki. He’s always on the prowl for th enext big win–or so he tells the press when they ask when he’ll give up the scene. Jensen Ackles, however, might prove the exception to his rule… Several years ago a boy with some intriguing rough edges dumped Jared and left town, maturing into a huge success. Now Jensen is back. And Jared’s friends predict if Jensen’s as talented at bad behavior as he is at everything else, Jared will enjoy the fling of a lifetime!*
A not so stupid person once said that hope was radical. What does that say about romance?*
Just to be clear from the very start: I take no responsibility for this whatsoever. It is all Luthien’s fault. She it was who pimped SGA to me tirelessly until I succumbed, and she it was who directly prompted this, this – whatever it is. (author’s note)*
Spencer’s day started with high-pitched screaming, and went downhill from there.*
Jensen Ackles is the cutest, sassiest secretary the city of New York has ever seen. He’s gorgeous, resourceful, and works under the best lawyer in the country. Literally.*
Sam wakes up at 5:08 AM to a weird tapping against his back. He blinks slowly at the numbers on the alarm clock and tries to add up in his head how much longer he has to sleep. The alarm is set to go off at seven, and Sam thinks that one hour and fifty-two minutes more shuteye would be perfect if Dean will quit tapping or poking or whatever the fuck he’s doing to him.*
Jared is one of the leads of the new TV show Supernatural, but under the cover of darkness he is Shadow, a costumed superhero in dark blue spadex who prowls the streets fighting crime and saving people. The move to Vancourver means dealing with an entirely new city to patrol, Mike and Tom’s ridiculous excuse for a two-man superhero team, and the mysterious man in black on a motorcycle who’s following Shadow on his patrols and keeping Jared up nights.*
The cat tipped its head back and looked up. “Sam, is that you?” There was a moment, and then the cat nodded slowly, up and down. A clear gesture, “Sam, you cut that out right now. It’s not funny.”*
“Okay, since I’m obviously not getting through to you using words of more than one syllable, let me put it as simply as possible: No.”*
Don’t be sily, John says. You’re Bob and I’m Bing; now get in the car and let’s go find ourselves a Dorothy.*
There is much freaking. Scroll a bit for this one… It fits… someplace in the A Farm In Iowa series after And Then There Was Finn.*
Rodney tangled a hand into John’s sweaty hair. “It was good right? What you wanted?” John pushed his head back against Rodney’s palm. “You mean the ‘fuck me’ and ‘harder’ and all the begging didn’t clue you in?”*
“If I could not kill him without bloodshed,” said Teyla, emerging from the tent with a pleased smile on her face, “I would not be worthy of my people.” “You didn’t kill him, right?” Sheppard asked, straight-faced. Teyla inclined her head to him, but said nothing. Not looking at each other, Rodney and Sheppard shuffled a little closer together.*
Cattle rancher Jensen Ackles isn’t looking for love-but he is looking for a wife. He wants a partner who will settle down with him in the Outback, a practical, down-to-earth woman who won’t be seduced by the bright lights of the city. Hot ex-actor Jared Padalecki doesn’t seem to fit Jensen’s criteria at all. With his model looks he can’t trust that Jared’s growing attraction for him is for real. But that doesn’t seem to stop Jensen thinking about him-every minute of every day!*
Jared Padalecki is good at looking after himself – he’s been doing it all his life. So what if he’s along and pregnant? He’ll cope! But gorgeous cowboy Jensen Ackles seems determined to take care of him. And Jared can help him – Jensen needs a temporary wife; Jared needs somewhere to start over again. A short-term marriage will solve all their difficulties! As Jared gets to know the courageous, honorable Jensen, he realizes that he might have made the biggest mistake of his life. Because all this wife-for-hire wants is a marriage for real!*
Everything is going fine for Dr. Jensen Ackles, a successful 3rd-year resident in obstetrics and gynecology at Grace’s Hearth hospital in San Francisco. But when a 22-year-old art student shows up claiming he’s pregnant, Jensen is completely certain he’s crazy. After a bunch of tests, a sonogram, and a bizarre story about having invoked the wrath of a ram-headed Egyptian fertility god, it turns out that Jared Padalecki isn’t joking: he really did get knocked up! And when Jared insists on having an OB-GYN of his own gender, Jensen’s long stretch of successfully not falling for one of his patients is finally at an end.*
It’s like how I Can talk to you when you’re not even there…*

Okay, okay. Christ. So these rock stars came in when the storm hit, they got a couple of rooms, the end.* Sequel to Rest Stop.
He has about eight minutes left. This is also, coincidentally, how long Brendon has left to live if he does not return Spencer’s aftershave.*
As a favor, Sam and Dean pick up on a job where Bobby’s left off. Only, the spirit the Winchester boys are attempting to usher to the other side is making things more complicated than they’re supposed to be. First in the Ordeals verse.*
Jensen never wanted to fall in love, but now all he wants is to share his life with someone who loves him.*
“Look, Spencer, look!” Spencer, who had been trying to read that issue of Kerrang he’d had stuffed in his bunk for the past four months but never had the time to get to, dodged Brendon’s probing hands with practiced ease. “No, Brendon.”*
Ten things Brian Schechter learned while babysitting My Chemical Romance.*

Frank knows that keeping a job you hate just because it happens to involve hot people is a really bad idea, but he’s always kind of liked bad ideas.*

“So,” Spencer says, and they all stare at him. “Pete’ll be in touch.”*
Brendon really loves his band. Unfortunately, they all have amazing, hot boyfriends.*
chemistry lab partners AU. I know what you’re thinking: “why would you do that?!” i don’t know dudes. but see? I write cheesy happy stuff sometimes too!*
Like everything, it starts in Vegas.*
The fifth time Brendon jerks off to a guy, he calls up Shane and says, “Spencer Smith’s beard made me gay.”*
It’s not like it actually changes that much. Spencer is still his friend and his bandmate and his Guitar Hero sidekick and his main rival for apple juice in the morning. It’s just now Brendon is aware that Spencer is made up of squares and smooth circles and he wants to fucking touch them.*
Joe Trohman doesn’t like dudes. He shouldn’t even have to say it. It’s implied in his name, like an invisible footnote or something.*
You may have to search around a little bit. There isn’t really a master page for this fic.
Sam and Dean tried to bake the impossible cake.* I know, seriously, I know. But this series is somehow charming and funny and sweet. Dean might be out of character, but the character he is in is a good one. Different but good.
Jared Padalecki is arranged to marry Jensen Ackles. No matter how hot the guy is, he’s not keen on the idea. Nope.*
Jared is a DJ at the South Texas University radio station. Jensen is a grad student with a thing for the sophomore DJ. Things happen.* Will return soon.

AU, in which the CW gang works in the assorted stores and businesses in a strip mall.*
The thing is, if they’d wanted him to actually pay attention to the interview, they shouldn’t have sat him next to the lady with the polar bear cub.*
Frank can deal with being a loser in high school, but he’d kind of like to stop being a loser who’s in love with his best friend, thanks.*
Okay, Sam’s definition of “moving” doesn’t seem to quite jive with Dean’s.*
Frank takes a quick look in his rear view mirror, runs his fingers through his messy hair and then smiles at his reflection as he slides the key out of the ignition. He’s really fucking late, but that’s never a good reason to look anything less than hot. He grabs his cargo bag out of the passenger seat and flips the automatic lock on his second hand Honda and then walks as quickly as his short legs will carry him to the entrance of Penny Lane.* Retelling of Never Been Kissed.
“I just don’t wanna go alone,” Frankie has said, and tugged on Bob’s arm until he agreed to accompany Frank to the piercing studio.*
“This is political,” Gerard announces, and kisses him.*
Immediately following the events of “Patrick’s Garden Center.” He had just propositioned some random guy right there at the farmer’s market!* Sequel to Patrick’s Garden Center.
Frank the lonely barista and Gerard the loyal consumer/art student. Guest appearances by Patrick the shift supervisor and Brendon the romantic.*
Brian is not entirely sure how he ended up with a half-naked Brendon Urie in his lap, just like he is unsure of how My Chem ended up on tour with Panic at the Disco in the first place.*
In which Jon and Spencer work for a film company and are shooting a documentary on the Skylines and Turnstiles tour, feat. My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is…*
Brendon loves touring. He loves touring and he loves their bus and he loves his band and he loves The Academy and he loves the UK and he loves Jaggermeister.*
Pete Wentz is the star of the soccer team. He’s their team’s only saving grace, and they’re damn lucky they even have him — word is, he’s on a Division One club team that’s ranked second in the nation. The only information disputing this is that he’s maybe on the number one team. He’s gone enough that it’s believable, but then, he goes out with enough girls (and boys, though that’s less going out and more just making out) that it stops making sense.*
Spencer hangs out with Billie and Gerry. They go to girls’ school! They are bitches! It’s a very cool girls’ school, so there’s no uniforms and some classes are outdoors and they go on field trips to Mexico.
The first year they’d been together, Bob had called Spencer on Easter and said, “Happy Easter?” because he wasn’t really clear on exactly what Spencer’s brand of Christianity was. It didn’t seem to involve as much bitterness as Ryan’s, nor as much angst as Brendon’s, but it wasn’t exactly as lackadaisical as Jon’s, either, from what Bob could tell.*
A drycleaners, a hair salon, the park bench that brings them together, and their various friends and enemies; one summer at the mall.*
Hospital AU. Spencer Smith has moved to Chicago to work at Chicago General with his best friend, one Ryan Ross. Here he meets some hilarious staff members, makes a lot of friends, and drinks a lot of coffee.
A new pair of vintage jeans, his favorite t-shirt, and the black leather jacket were laid out on the chair, ready to go.*
Ray is still looking for a gift for his dad while Fraser is looking for something else.* Sequel to No Such Thing As Santa.
Ray and Fraser have dinner, musicals, a discussion of our oppressed red-nosed reindeer brothers, and an exchange of Christmas gifts.* Sequel to A Poor Boy Too.
If I hear ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ one more time, I will not be responsible for my actions.*
After the show, there’s the usual pile-up in the lounge to get some food and watch a movie.*
In which Brendon and Spencer are juniors in high school. Ryan, the plucky best friend and Mr. Hall, the history teacher, also star.*
Brendon Urie would call himself an ordinary guy. Spencer Smith would call him stupidly hot, if he weren’t about to destroy Brendon’s career. A rich, successful journalist and food critic, Spencer aims to write a scathing review of Brendon’s little muffin and cupcake shop. He never mixes business with pleasure. But the secrets Brendon’s keeping intrigue Spencer, and his naivety has caught Spencer off guard. He’s entranced with the little muffin cupcake shop and his neighbour Jon’s coffee shop. What’s happened to him? He’s being ridiculous! The Christmas-coated town has gone to his head. Spencer’s best friend, literary critic Ryan Ross, thinks that the small-town boy has unlocked the city slicker’s heart.*
Ray Kowalski is undercover, just not like everybody thinks.*
Rays sets out to find Fraser in the Territories post COTW for a second chance. He finds Fraser, mayhem, and a villain named Whiplash.*
Ray is not actually graphing the history of his relationship with Fraser. That would be pathetic, and Ray is not pathetic. But if he was graphing it, even just in his own stressed-out, messed-up brain, it might look something like this.*
Bob meets Ronon in an emergency room in Colorado. That fact…yeah, says something about the both of them when you consider that it was a tragic accident involving a sander, some duct tape, and one of Gerard’s shoes that landed Bob there, while Ronon was hit by a fucking bus and is still conscious.*
Bob might not remember why he decided to try to out-hardcore someone who was hit by a bus and remained conscious, but he’s totally invested in it now. And if Ronon just thought about it, he’d see just how badass Bob totally is. *
It wasn’t like he didn’t know these guys; not like he hadn’t spent weeks practically living in their back pockets during Warped. It was just… There was a difference between the screaming chaos that was a tour and this. Patrick took a deep breath, pulled his hat down, and knocked on the door of the bus.*
Brendon doesn’t know what wakes him up. The bus is still moving and it looks dark beyond the two inch gap left between his curtain and the wall. But something woke him up, so he lays still and listens. He can just hear the tinny sound of Jon’s ipod above him, and Ryan’s rustling around in his bunk. He hears a high-pitched squeak, a low laugh, and then “shhh.” Oh, right, Keltie’s with them.*
If you wanted to, if you were so inclined, you could place the blame squarely on William – in fact, William himself would be eager to accept it, if only because the story ended so well – but in the beginning, in the beginning, if you blamed William, you would not, actually, be correct.*
Brendon Urie is the newest addition to Pete Wentz’s Decaydance music label, and Spencer Smith is Pete’s most trusted assistant. After Pete turns Spencer’s carefully laid plans for Brendon’s publicity upside down at the last minute, Brendon and Spencer are left hiding out at Pete’s villa for the weekend.*
Spencer had barely even heard of rugby when he tried out for the team. It was just a way of killing time until Ryan was done with his stupid school magazine. Helping Ryan sift through the lame emo poetry submissions was only funny the first few times. But their west-coast prep school doesn’t play soccer or football, so the rugby team turns out to be the coolest thing around, and suddenly Spencer’s the school’s most popular player. Then Spencer meets Brendon, and everything changes.*
Logan finds insight into what he’s lost and how to approach what he could gain.*
The Jonas family is well known for their purity rings and religious views, and it’s good to see that it hasn’t prevented Kevin from denying who he is. This magazine is behind you 100%, Kevin Jonas, and wish you and Mike Carden a happy marriage!*
“Word on the street is that you’re bearing the fruit of my good friend’s loins.” William says, draping himself against Kevin’s back, and Kevin considers the logistics of crawling inside of his locker and dying.*
“I got married to Mike Carden,” Kevin says. “I asked you, like four times, if you were sure,” Nick says.*
It begins with Spencer sitting in his boxers and an old t-shirt in their kitchen, drinking a cup of coffee and frowning over some paperwork. “Fucking math,” he grouses, tapping one bare foot against the floorboards. Brendon is pretty fond of their floorboards; he’s not a crazy interior decorator, like some people, but he likes to think he has a certain touch.*
He’s glad he didn’t know about William’s questionable lifestyle choice before they met, because he’d had this vision in his head of what Shakespearean actors were like, and frankly he wanted nothing to do with those weirdos.*
Memory is an odd thing. The day to day bullshit slowly fades away until it leaves nothing behind but a vague “emotional” tone or color. A feeling. However, every now and then certain details, usually surrounding *intense* emotional times, stay crystal clear, etched into our minds like snapshots. Virtual photographs forever frozen in time, locked away inside of our heads.
Mike shrugged, and why couldn’t Kevin be more like Mike? He could lose his Disney status within a set time frame if he could just act like that.*
“Dude,” Gabe hollers, his voice barely rising above the din in the background. “Can you pick me up?”*
Kevin hasn’t seen Mike in over a month, and maybe he’s a little bit annoying. So maybe his brothers and Bill lock him and Mike in a closet.*
Kevin’s breathing goes all shuddery, bordering on gasping, and Carden oh-so-slowly pets him there, right on the side of his throat, and shushes him and Kevin thinks, a little hysterical, that if he’s trying to calm him down the petting thing is totally not working.*
