Summary
Fighting Jabber Wonger is always a nightmare, but this time Zanka can't wake up.
…Fuck, okay. Zanka can admit it. He wants to watch the light leave Jabber’s eyes.
Wants his enemy’s lifeblood smeared all over Aibō’s curves, soaking her so deep that Zanka can never get the stain out. Wants to lick it off her with his tongue, and swallow down enough that Jabber’s mercurial essence becomes part of Zanka too.
Taste Genius, and know that he was better.
But only if it's earned. Only if Jabber’s also givin’ it his all, every square inch of that prodigious brain devoted to emergin’ victorious.

Summary
After taking Silverlake's soul-perception potion, Zorian is knocked out for longer than expected. His usually strange dreams take a turn for the nightmarish.
“It felt like my body was being taken over. Something else was moving my limbs, sedating my thoughts. Filling up every space, until there was no room left for me.”
“But then I woke you up?” Zach interjected hopefully, bumping his shoulder into Zorian.
“Not quite,” Zorian sighed, but gave him a small smile anyways. “Suddenly, I was looking at my body from outside of myself, watching… well. I suppose I was watching myself drown.”

Summary
Being turned into a toy isn't something that Jimmy would wish on anyone—not even Joel. He just hopes the fact that his heart has stopped beating in his plastic chest doesn't have deeper implications for his soulmate.
...who he has not had any contact with since Double Life ended. Oops.
He'd better make sure Tango is alright... and find a way to get rid of this stupid curse while he's at it. But how the heck is Jimmy supposed to get into an airtight, state-of-the-art server like Hermitcraft?

Bookmarker's Notes
Yuna's head is swimming. She thinks she might be about to black out but she also feels as if she could throw up. I didn't realise, she wants to tell him. I hadn't even considered. It was so stupid of me - I can see that now - and there are so many things I would do differently, but I thought I was helping. You have to understand that I thought I was helping I was trying to help oh god what have I done I was trying to help.
He lifts his good shoulder in a dismissive half-shrug. “I know, mom. I love you too,” he replies by rote.
It is only that moment that she realises that you can say something too often, that there comes a point where it loses all meaning, like a word repeated over and over until it seems to unravel itself back into a collection of incomprehensible sounds.
They both pretend that they believe each other. It comes naturally. They have had a lot of practice.

Summary
Albert doesn’t believe in ‘meant to be’. They don’t naturally mesh: Cooper wanted to do over the guest room with reed matting and make a meditation room; Albert wanted to make an office. So they built an office with a Zen garden. Albert appreciates sleek, modern furniture; Cooper likes Eastern antiques. So now their apartment is decked out in sleekly modern furniture imported from Tibet. Albert prefers quiet when he sleeps; Cooper drifts off listening to Tuvan throat singing. Albert has gotten used to earplugs. At each turn, one or both of them have seen their way through to a solution. The result is not so much a ‘normal life’ as it is a life that’s right for them, and insane for everyone else.

Summary
There was silence for a moment, and Laura kept dangling her leg outward, practicing at its angles- seductive, childish, coquettish, painful. Then she said, “I hate it when you try to understand me.”
It was such a Laura thing to say. “Why?”
“Because it means you’re trying to think like me, and I don’t want you to think the way I do,” Laura said. “Besides, only people who love you try to understand you.”
(a brief and one sided reflection, in three parts)
