    Summary

    There is a part of Evan that goes to the book and the power he felt there, and in the most pure and loving way, and in a very dark way, goes, “I wish that this would never end.”

    Something reaches back towards him and answers, "It doesn't have to."

    Summary

    It isn’t until later that night, lying in bed listening to Sam’s gentle snores that Evan realizes the significance of that conversation.

     

    I’m just looking forward to getting home

     

    Home.

    It has been two months since Evan started staying at Sam’s house. And that’s all he has called it so far: Sam’s house.

    Summary

    His tour guide - “K,” they introduce themself, “Not Katie, not Karen, not Kira. Just K.” - has a lot to say and is quick to say it, talking so fast that it’s a struggle to keep up at first, but he’s determined to try and make this work.

    “- and this is the most crucial part,” they say, coming to a sudden stop back in the kitchen. The expression on his face is a serious one. “It’s super, duper, teletonic trooper important,” she says.

    "Y-Yeah?” Evan asks. Glancing around, Evan shoves his hands in his pockets, his heart beating painfully fast. He’s desperate and desperately trying not to look desperate. “Name it.”

    “So, it’s fine if you’re like, weird and shit,” K says, “That’s honestly kind of a must for anyone that hangs around with us, but you can’t be a creepy weirdo. Are you a creepy weirdo, Edgar?”

    OR

    Evan's Kelmp's guide to putting yourself in the friend zone and eventually stumbling back out after someone notices that you're lost, told in six parts.

    Summary

    "You with me?" she asks, only really half-expecting to get an answer from him.

    "Yeah," he rasps, blinking a little harder. "Yep-, yes." His face twitches, eye wincing shut as his head jerks to the side and back hard enough to jangle the tags on his collar prettily, clearly fighting to pay attention to her and only maybe succeeding. "Yes," he repeats, a little firmer.

    It's tough to really believe him when Sam can tell his eyes are focused somewhere off to the left of her face, but it is cute that he's trying, at least. 


    Sam's POV of 'don't know where your mind is, baby (but you're better off without it)'

    Summary

    It feels like his jaw has been glued shut with too much chewed bubble gum, his face aching as he forces his mouth open enough to say, “I -”

    “Now, all that is things that I knew when I saw you,” she says. “What I was not certain about was what kind of man you are underneath all of those things. Are you the man you are out of anger and spite? Or out of desperation and yearning?”

    ***

    A chance encounter has Evan biting off more than he can chew.

    Summary

    "Give me a number," she demands, grip and tone unwavering.

    "Nine," trips out of Evan's mouth before he can really think about it, too busy letting the muscles in his neck go slack enough to feel the pull of his scalp intensify pleasantly. He can barely sort through the sharp static signals in his head enough to remember the specifics of the scale they'd worked out, what the qualifiers are, the things he's supposed to pay attention to. That means it must be bad, which makes nine a safe bet, right? Or is it a ten? Or-,

    "Good boy," Sam offers him, and Evan's breath punches out of him as a pathetic sounding whine.

    Summary

    “Of course, baby,” she purrs. “Anything for my pretty girl.”

    Evan makes another whiny noise, unable to bite it back in time. “You keeping saying that,” he says accusingly, shuddering a little.

    “Saying what, honey?”

    Clearing his throat, Evan forces himself to say it. “You keep calling me a- a pretty girl.”

    “Correct,” she says. “And?”

    “I’m not, though.”

    “Not pretty?” Sam asks. “Not a girl? Or not a pretty girl?”

    Sometimes the solution to having a depressed, haunted boyfriend is to force femme your way into having a considerably less depressed, beautiful girlfriend. Whether or not you warn your girlfriend in advance about what you're doing is optional.

    Summary

    “You know, I don’t think I have much to say. I’m a simple thing. You understand that better than anyone.”

    “Then why am I here?”

    “Because it’s gonna be over soon.”

    “I’m dying?” Unsurprisingly, Evan doesn't sound upset about it.

    “No. The cause is. And I wanna know what you’ll do next.”

    Summary

    "All of us, willingly or not, confront the dark every day. It is the bedrock of the universe, an absolute inevitability, a required element of life and death and rest and time. And yet, we refuse to simply perceive the dark; rather than sit within total absence, our brains spin imagined stimuli out into the void. After all, how could there truly be nothing there?"
    -Jacob Geller, Fear of Dark

    Summary

    'Sam remembers being a little girl, blanket pulled up to her ears, staring sleeplessly at her closet door. Sometimes her parents were arguing in the room over. Not always. Sometimes it was sickeningly silent, until the hinges squeaked and the inky darkness revealed itself to her. Nothing ever harmed her, as far as Sam could remember. No unexplained scratches in her sleep, no dead animals on her windowsill. It was just that, sometimes, when a door slammed a bit too loud, all of her books would come flying off the shelf or she would wake to her sheets being yanked to the end of her bed.'

    or

    Sam Butler comes home from saving magic and something comes back with her. It isn't the first time she's been through something like this.

    Summary

    “This is Samantha, she’s our newest member of Acquisition 5A. Samantha, this is Whitney."

    Whitney holds out a hand, and Samantha takes it, smiling. Her hand is almost completely enveloped by his. She can’t hide the light blush on her cheeks as she says, “Hi, it’s so great to meet you.”

    Whitney nods, “Yeah, same here, glad to have you on the team.”

    Samantha blushes. She can't help but fumble her words, struck by how good looking Karen is. She’s got a soft face, and delicate looking hands, but a firm grip, and her long dark hair done up in a tight bun, with a low undercut at the sides.

    “Good to meet you, Sam-Mantha, I trust you’ll do better than your predecessor.”

    Summary

    Sam Britain, Sam Black, Sam Butler no matter how many ways she changes and the new things she calls herself. Sam somehow finds the light, she is adored by strangers and her magnetism can't be stifled no matter how hard she tried to strangle it away.

    That is until Evan finds a cat, a very large cat, that despises her with every fiber of its being. Sam has never been hated before, it's frustrating, it shatters several instagram-able fantasies about a big old tom-cat and a small tea-cup pig but there is something exhilarating about it non-the-less.
