Summary
“I am going to crush him,” she muses to herself. It is certainly not her favorite verb, but it makes this whole thing a lot more bearable. She’ll crush his fingers first. In a vice of some kind. One by one. She imagines his face split open in pain and ecstasy. What else? His mouth, with her own kiss.
Wait.
Who said anything about kissing?

Summary
“Have you ever brought any of – any of them to life?” she asks when he comes back to himself. The portrait of her playing her cello has been pinned to a wall unframed, and she feels him turn to look at it and smile against her hairline.
“Why would I?” He sounds amused. He sounds bitter. “Why bring my paintings of you to life only to have them turn to dust in my arms? You do that already in the flesh.”
OR:
Xavier pines. Wednesday doesn't really know what to do with herself. Thing ships it.

Summary
From the outside, their story could look a lot like Hades and Persephone. The black king sweeping the lovely, fair Persephone down to his dark underworld.
He certainly attempts to cut the figure, with his black trench coat and cowboy hat and almost all black wardrobe. How he uses his knife to add an aura of mystery and edge. (His literal almost lightless tomb of an apartment certainly helps make his case for a dark underlord).
But Hades dragged Persephone down into his dark underworld, where he held all the power, and taught her how to embrace darkness.
They both know better than that.

Summary
Beth lets out a sigh, quiet enough to be swallowed by the hum of the engine and the rattle of dishes. The vapor from her breath clings to the glass, blurring the sky behind it.
She wonders if Benny's waiting for her. She can't decide if she'd love or hate to see him at the airport, leaning against a concrete pillar with his infuriating smirk. She can practically see him, hands in the pockets of his duster, hat tucked under his arm.
Part of her hopes he's there, just as she pictures. The other part doesn't want the game to end so soon. Ever since they met they've been chasing each other across the board, weaving in and out of checkered squares in a thrilling sort of tournament.
That's another thing she likes about chess: there's no finish line.
