    Summary

    Like tonight, a year ago, Ed was visited by his dead mother.

    The dream has always been the accident. Of Edward, strapped to a seatbelt in the passenger seat of their vehicle, and, over and over, being unable to dredge himself out. Neither Trisha nor Al responded to his thrashing, screaming, pleading. The truck always hit.

    A year ago, it was different.

    Edward stood on the outside, in the grass on the corner of the intersection. The sky was bright blue, clouds corralled around the circle of deadly space made up by two crossing roads. He watched his mother inch into the clearing, watched his own face trapped in the cherubic naivety of childhood, enraptured by the front window. Watched him spot the barreling truck, and, for the first time, witnessed the accident from the exterior.
    -
    When Edward was a child, a car accident took the life of his mother and put his brother in a coma. Plagued with nightmares for his entire life, nothing makes anything better. A year after a suicide attempt, Ed is involved in an online friend group who plays a dnd-style RPG together. They convince him to try and come to Xing to play the new regional update: and Edward, believing he outgrew his place in his family, agrees.

    Summary

    What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.

    Summary

    It’s funny, almost, the reversal of roles. The fact that Robb is the one that hasn’t been heard from in three months, that Robb is the one calling Theon at three in the morning needing a ride from a city three hours away, that Robb is the one bleeding and covered in bruises when he gets in Theon’s car two and a half hours after he calls.
