Summary
Things were always easier when it was just the two of them. Him, and her, joking, messing around, confiding in one another their hopes and dreams. Even after a long, and soul-crushing day, they could still find a moment of peace, just in knowing the other was there. But something terrible looms just over the horizon. And it weighs on his mind, even seeing her hope, because he knows that she will fail. And that he'll be there with her, trying vainly to change something.
Fate had let them have their little freedom far too long. Any moment now, it will pull the strings and they'll be ripped apart.
But they still have to try.

Summary
The doctors warned him that the concussion could cause mood swings, especially combined with the pain of his other injuries and his very fresh grief, but he didn’t think it would be so hard. He thought that once everything was all said and done, that he’d feel better—that finding Clay’s killer would be enough catharsis, and that once he got some sleep he would be able to function without this horrible weight crushing his chest or this deep, deep agony clawing at his insides. Foolish, really, as Apollo has lived with the pain of loss his whole life.
--
Or: The dust settles, everyone goes home, and Apollo has the biggest physical and mental breakdown of his life. It's a long road toward actually being fine, but it turns out he doesn't have to walk it alone.Bookmarked by Aro_Queer

Summary
Susie is holding hands with a boy. Noelle wonders why she’s dreaming about this.
Susie falls to her knees and clutches Kris’ limp body and she keeps holding hands with the boy, the boy that looks like Kris’ brother. Noelle thinks absently that this is a scarier dream than she’s ever had, and that Kris’ blood is matting in Susie’s hair as she tries to find their heartbeat.
Then Susie stands up, and Noelle knows with absolute certainty that Susie is going to kill her. Kris’ face reflects in Susie’s axe as she swings it back, and in the split second before Noelle blacks out, there is still an expression lingering on their face. Relief.
or; what if Noelle stepped off the switch in snowgrave.

Summary
The puzzle pieces judder together with horrifying clarity. Standing in the center of the room, she can see the full picture. Everything missing from the phone, the fragments of herself in the dorm, the odd inflection in Kris’ voice.
This isn’t a dream. It isn’t the Dark World. But it is, impossibly, an alternate world entirely.
Kris sighs again, muttering something to themself. “Do you need me to come over? Are you alone?”
“Kris, I think I’m in the wrong world,” she manages.
(or: two noelles trade places.)
