    Summary

    Vicious wipes blood from his hands and looks Spike over; cold and grey. Distant.

    “You were there to kill me,” Vicious says.

    Spike’s surprised he remembers. He’d been the last man in the room, the door guard. It sends a wild thrill of anticipation through him. He pulls his pack of cigarettes out of his jeans pocket. “Nothing personal.”

    It sounds cooler than Spike feels, hot at the edges like he can steam the blood back out of his shirt. It’s late July, but cold because Mars is fucked up running on the conversion calendar. The blood on his collar is cooling from alive-hot against his skin to past dead-cold. A sticking splash shedding warmth it will never hold again. 

    “You couldn’t have,” Vicious says.

    Spike’s teeth clamp on his cigarette filter, lips peeling back as he lights it in a rictus snarl. “You want to find out?”

    Summary

    What would he even say to them?

    “Hey, you know about werewolves?”

    Gillion probably didn’t even know what it was. Did Gillion have those types of things in the undersea? Maybe he had some sort of fish monster stories in his culture that was equivalent.

    And with how Jay was raised in the navy, Chip could believe that she also wouldn’t know what it was. He had no idea what she would know when it came to stories like that. This meant that Chip would have to explain what it meant and He didn’t know how he’d be able to explain that without sounding insane.

    --

    Chip is a werewolf and doesn't tell the rest of the crew before the full moon.

    Summary

    William had been pretty down bad before, he was willing to admit, but this? How in the fuck was he supposed to quantify this? Watching the two biggest crushes of his life dance a romantic tango together so flawlessly, while simultaneously dancing with his newest maybe-crush? These weren’t butterflies anymore, these were whole ass birds— fucking falcons flapping around his stomach— at this point.

    The Prime Defenders throw a party, and William has to face his biggest obstacle yet: dancing with his three extremely pretty classmates

    Summary

    He thinks of being accepted.

    He thinks of being loved.

    And he thinks.

    It was all worth it, in the end.

     

    There has to be something you can do.

     

    He pulls out the sheet of paper, innocuous at first, folded into four quarters.

    He unfolds it.
