Summary
“Eh,” John said with a shrug, going on to add at Ethan’s look, “Everything’s fine, we’re all code green here.” Then, noticing Karl, he broke into a wide grin, “How’s married life treating you, big guy?”
Karl leaned forward a bit, sandwich close enough that Ethan could smell the pickles and mustard. “Every day is bliss,” he replied.

Summary
“E-excuse me, I’m really sorry to bother you, but is that, ah, gentlemen with you?”
They both looked from the store clerk to where she was pointing at a now-destroyed mortar, mochi laying in a sad lump on the ground. Inosuke stood next to it, hands on his hips and looking, even with the mask, extremely pleased with himself.
“No,” Genya said.
“I’m so sorry, yes he’s with us!” Tanjiro said. Genya stayed where he was, feeling his headache digging in worse. Think of it as team-building! Kocho had told him before he’d split ways with her to head west to Arashiyama.
“Team-building, my ass.”

Summary
It’s been almost twenty years since Benson Roche was sentenced to carry out four life sentences at G.H. Lemoine Correctional. Twenty-one since he had murdered his and Randy’s coworkers on a cool and bland January morning, since he had beaten Elliot Sheppard to death in the middle of Bill Snyder Elementary’s parking lot, had taken Miss Beard hostage only at Randy’s insistence he not kill her, had shot Marsha at the end of her shift at the Kutzburg Diner. Twenty-one years since he had forced Randy to drive around town with him for hours, laughing at him, maybe believing it was with him—driving around and never once trying to leave town, intent only on curing Randy of all that made him the most pathetic 21-year-old he had ever seen. Twenty-one years since he gave Randy the small white divot scars on either side of his shoulder that still twinge now and again in a flutter of permanently-confused nerves.
Twenty-one years since he became Randy’s captor. Twenty-one years since he became Randy’s only friend in the world, if only for a day. Since he had created the clean and even division of years in Randy’s life — Before Benson and anno Domini nostri Benson Roche.
In seven months, he'll be eligible for parole.

Summary
Dean comes to the end of You Light Up My Life and decides two things: one, he just sang a goddamn pop ballad from the seventies, so his life is officially over; and two, he’ll have to kill Sam, who just stood there staring while Dean sang his heart out to him and didn’t do a damn thing to stop it.

Bookmarker's Notes
the one where stiles has insomnia and derek takes to sleeping in his bed. really really nice early focus on the effect dealing with werewolf nonsense would have on the characters + focus throughout on the deteriorating relationship between stiles and his dad that is particularly gut-wrenching. ongoing werewolf nonsense is backgrounded for the sake of focusing on the characters & relationships. cried at the scene where stiles talks about his mom & the dramatic irony during the scott and danny confront stiles scene? chef's kiss.
