Summary
“I want to be with him. Up there, on land, as one of them - as a human. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, but I’m just not meant to be cooped up in Bill’s palace, and especially not with my mother. I’m supposed to be up there,” Eddie continued, pointing up toward the surface. “I’ve known for so long, but it was all leading up to this. To him. Just knowing he’s out there… it makes it that much more unbearable to be,” he gestured to his fin, “like this.”

Summary
With the sun streaming in through the RV windows, dust swirling and sparkling it its light, curtains rippling with every jolt of tires, Jesse laughing beside him, both of them coming off a high from what they’d cooked up in a nonstop, sunny, madcap feverish daze…
Walt felt more alive than ever.
And then a sudden coughing attack overtook him and thrust him back into his real life, or whatever was left of it.
(Set during '4 Days Out')

Summary
Their roles should be reversed, Walt thinks. At least in terms of sleep. Walt’s body, infested with cancer, should protest all his running around with overwhelming fatigue and malaise, while Jesse, only a few years into adulthood, should be brimming with energy.
Instead, Walt spends the morning wiping down the El Camino and scraping off the VIN, removing the plates, then abandoning it on a dead-end street lined with cars in various forms of disrepair next to a junk yard, in hopes of slowing its discovery and ties to them.
A little cash and his watch buys a beater with no radio, but it’s inconspicuous, safe. No red flags. A little more buys him breakfast to go.
When he gets back to the motel, Jesse’s still asleep.

Summary
When he’d found the kid at Walt’s otherwise unoccupied house some weeks later, ablaze with unchecked emotion and a fist-full of fire, he’d felt a tad more sympathetic; the evidence of Walt’s new brand of havoc alight in the kid’s every pained word and the cowed bow of his body. But even that had been fleeting. Less than a half hour later, Hank had Jesse caught between a rock and a hard spot, had obligated him to record a confession for which Pinkman would reap the consequences if they couldn’t make them stick to Walt. Hank had coerced the kid into staying in Hank's own home, under the guise of protecting him, when really, it was only Hank who stood to gain anything from illegally holding the kid against his will and drugging him into oblivion to ensure he’d cooperate and give the desired performance the next day.

Summary
“C’mon, do it,” Jesse whined as he tilted his hips.
Walt ran his hands along Jesse’s thighs. “I don’t know what to do,” he was forced to admit.
“Uh, you stick it in?” Walt could almost hear him rolling his eyes. “Didn’t you, like, father children?”
“That’s not what I meant,” Walt snapped back. “I don’t want to hurt you,” he added more quietly.
Jesse stared up at him. It was too dark for Walt to make out his expression, especially without his glasses. “Since when have you cared about that?”
Season 3 AU. Walt agrees to let Jesse stay with him after rehab, but he’s caught off guard when Jesse moves from the couch to his bed. As their affair heats up, Walt thinks he'll be able to win Skyler back and keep Jesse on the side—but Jesse's got other plans.

Summary
He fingers the glass vial in his pocket. Contemplates the half-empty bottle left carelessly beside his partner’s haphazard pile of street clothes – some sort of lurid, neon-colored energy drink; carbonated, with a strong taste of its own – and makes his decision.
It’s for Jesse’s own good.
(He tells himself this, and believes it. It’s the truth.)
And what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.
--
An alternate take on the plot of S4, starting from Shotgun/Cornered. Rather than trying to poison Gus, Walt takes a different sort of drastic action to maintain his hold on Jesse.
