Summary
"We both know we don't have time to stand around and listen to you stutter out half a thought, so get on with it. What about her?" she asks again.
Whitaker takes a single, steadying breath. "She …" He wets his lips, eyes scattering across the room before they return no more confidently to meet hers, "She took a scalpel out of one of the suture carts in the hallway."
Or: What if Whitaker had seen Santos take the scalpel and told Garcia?

Summary
"Mecha Man, you arrested Flambae only a few years ago. You two went from years-long enemies to working together side-by-side with the SDN to battle crime and, notably, defeat Shroud. What do you have to say about that progression?"
Robert's face turns, and his eyes meet Flambae's, standing beside him in front of his respect podium.
Mecha Man and Flambae are secretly in a relationship. How does the public react when they begin to suspect it?

Summary
“Just let me take over this time. You promised me I could ask about your …” he trails, rather reluctant in finishing the thought aloud.
“Scars,” Robert finishes, the word surprisingly not awkward, nor stilted. He had believed it would catch on the pricks of his painful memories as it left his mouth. “And yes, I did.”
Flambae learns about Robert's scars.

Summary
“I think—you’ve, uh,” he rasps awkwardly through pants, “got the wrong … guy.”
Flambae’s brows furrow, and his familiar angered expression flits over his face quick as the spread of wildfire in dry season. “Oh, trust me, I wish I could forget what your stupid face looks like.” His expression maintains its intensity as he asks with complete seriousness, “What the actual fuck are you doing?”
Robert self-harms. Flambae finds him in the aftermath.

Summary
“Chase!” Robert calls with the vigor of a person seeking shelter amidst a battlefield in a waging war. “Chase, hey, hey—” the palm cradling his cheek draws back and meets it again with a tap that grows persistent as he demands, “heyheyhey look at me—look at me!”
Or: an extended version of the ending of episode 6.

Summary
Takes place between the end of the Crooked Man's trial and the epilogue.
Bigby's been through hell and back over the last few days, and with the Crooked Man finally being marched off to face justice, he can't stop it all from catching up to him. Most of the rest of Fabletown is wrapped up in trying to get back on track, maybe even get on to a better track. But as he stumbles on the long walk back to his apartment just after the trial, Bigby finds that there's still someone there to pick him up and drag him the rest of the way.
Snow stops by later. She and Colin have a conversation, one that leaves Snow with even more to think about. But one thing's for certain - she's not about to let Crane's dire predictions come true. She's not going to give up the important things in her life without a fight.

Summary
It's been about three years since the Crooked Man was sentenced and much and more has happened in Fabletown. Bigby and Snow have dealt with trial after tribulation and the town is livable, even prospering, which means it's time for the sheriff to tie up loose ends. It's a simple task he's been given: track down The Woodsman and bring him home.
What could possibly go wrong?
When Woody gets wrapped up in a new mystery, Bigby just can’t keep his nose out of it. Cue detective work, action, sexual tension, and repressed bullshit behavior. Whatever new questions this journey poses, in the end, it’s all about a wolf and his Woodsman.

Summary
Four days after killing Shroud, Invisigal appears in Robert’s wrecked apartment, injured, with a cursed mask in her backpack, and every reason to run - only for him to become the reason to stay. As new enemies rise and her dead boss’s tech still claws at her brain, the two of them — scarred, sleep-starved, and stupidly soft for each other — have to decide whether they’re a disaster waiting to go off or each others best chance for redemption.

Summary
“Special,” he echoes. It’s a cruel word, for one under the pretense of living privileged. There was no question of ‘living day-to-day’, no worry of money, where to rest his head at night, where to wash his clothes and what to eat. A singular problem stemming from a barely wilted root. A question of ‘when will you come home?’, ‘why don’t you talk to me anymore?’, ‘is it because I keep getting into trouble?’,
And ‘maybe you should’ve died during that last rescue of yours and really left me alone for good, if you still care”
Cruel and nonsensical scorning reserved for a man whose back was always turned and eyes set toward a fading horizon, but it was his scorning nonetheless. It is privilege and it is not privilege all at once. A burning singularity, ignited by a meagre obsession of longing, for difference. To his great shame, he is not rendered sheepish and apologetic by the realization of never suffering the consequences of the real world; it is mere and not a problem.
He learns to get over this contrite quickly.
- IN ESSENCE: A character study on Blue (Robert), and the onset split to this new, entirely different hero 'him', that's not Robert at all. Bringing to life a different person entirely.

Summary
What would happen if after the karaoke night, instead of disappearing, Flambae found Robert’s apartment and came to finish the job?
—
Beyond tired, muscles screaming, he lets it happen when Chad fists a hand in his hair and hauls his face close. “I don’t kill puppies,” he says, insulted.
Robert swallows around a bolus in his throat and his vision clouds. He sees it now, signposted between the legs where Chad’s groin presses to his. “Am I a puppy in this scenario?” he whispers, lids dropping.
“Yes,” Chad says, and shrinks the enormous outrage to something that fits between lips.
