Summary
The ocean cannot be kind, can only be cold and endless, stretching out past where your vision falters, begins blurring the line that divides heaven and earth until there is only blue in grades, shades, the veil of the world seemingly disappearing, as it does, the way you know it has, and will continue to do. The memory of what is beyond the horizon pulls at the beat of your heart, sinks in your blood with a heaviness you have grown to be familiar with. You can't imagine how it must be, then, for him.

Summary
A myth is merely a truth told through the filter of time.

Summary
She never thought her beginning and end would be on a beach.
Most nights, the waves are calm, and there is no sound save for a wind which does not stir anything. She falls through things those nights, the sand becoming unsteady, her feet sinking with each step as the earth itself opens to new horizons, and unexplored terrain. -

Summary
He can't help feeling it. She can't help feeling baffled.
She was staring at him. Really staring at him, like his fingers were stuck in the toaster (again) or he was covered in detergent (…again) or had broken something. (Again).- Words:

Summary
They've both seen the mark of her in different rooms, proof that the memory of her, like a ghost, still remains; but now they see how her things affect him.
The silence of the room is not friendly, but neither is it uncomfortable; it almost seems sad, and she wonders, a little, how she got to the point where even the absence of something could be touched with tragedy.- Words:

Summary
But the truth of it is: you will never hear your heels click— only the ticking of a clock.
Sometimes you dream in black and white. You never used to, before, but now soft grays color your mother's face, and sometimes she will sing songs that you have never heard before, but you will feel like you should have remembered them somehow.- Words:

Summary
Time has never been a straight line for Rose Tyler. It should have figured that dimensions wouldn't be either.
A face eclipses the sun from her sight and the grin that lights it is almost a little annoying. "Took you bloody long enough," she says conversationally.- Words:

Summary
He feels lost— but then again, he is always losing himself. What he never expected was to lose her, and so soon.
A sequel to Castles.
It’s silly, he knows, and entirely unhealthy to be doing this. Carrying on conversation like she’ll respond, but is maybe busy thinking of something clever to say, with fingers pulling against her lips as she waits for the perfect comeback.- Words:

Summary
She cannot understand the extent to which they are bound. Maybe she doesn't want to.
Her breath is hot, stays caught in the air like a fly in amber. Summer has arrived, its heavy air a seasonal voodoo, humid and inescapable. -

Summary
There was a time when he did not burn with her, but that was long ago.

Summary
Excerpts of the life they're rewriting.
He is hopeless with things like curtains and working the dishwasher, but hopes she doesn’t mind, hopes she remembers that he cannot forget what he knew, still knows, the names of people and places and how to calculate the exact velocity of a mug she might or might not throw at him for saying something about her mother.- Words:

Summary
She always loved the rain, the calm and cool of it. But Eric is more of a thunderstorm.
She made her way to the porch to where he was sitting, the white of the outdoor lights distorted and reflecting strangely in the downpour, her eyes making out his large, familiar outline, the glow of his face feeling nearly welcome.- Words:
