Summary
In the back seat, William writhes. Wesker can hear his breath, laboured and thick as he twists his body in search of comfort he won’t be able to find. Searing pain courses through shaking limbs, crawls through his vocal cords like it’s trying to strangle him, choking him from the inside out. It pulls from his mouth strings of weary groans and spittle that shimmer on parted, panting lips. “Al—” he cries out, “Albert—”
Wesker's gloved hands tighten around the wheel.
(Wesker and Birkin fake their deaths, go on the run, and find themselves trapped between the past and the present.)

Summary
Wesker watches as he meets up with Annette on the dance floor. He drinks when all the tension eases from William’s shoulders the moment she pulls him into her arms and convinces him to sway with her. He drinks when he runs his fingers through her hair. He drinks when he settles his hand on her waist. He drinks when he presses his forehead to hers and, for the first time in a long while, looks entirely at ease.
(At William and Annette's wedding, Wesker thinks.) -
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bug: A Parasitic Analysis by douwata

Summary
Every morning, Stanford performs something akin to surgery.
The human body isn’t made to sustain anything other than itself. Parasites must dig their way into skin, hooks and fangs suckling on warm flesh that squelches and tears in their grip. They squirm through tepid water until it gives way to the soft meat of a desperate tongue or hard bone of biting, hungry teeth. From there they feast on blood and tissue until they are satiated or the host is dead.
(An academic retrospective on sick houses and starving parasites.)

Summary
"Snake, welcome to your first day at Bioronix. You’re a brand new employee specializing in analytical chemistry.”
A puff of smoke. “And, for the purposes of full infiltration, Otacon will be your partner.”
There has to be another way, another option. Some way for him to teach Snake what he needs to know instead of putting himself in danger–no, rather, putting Snake in more danger. He’d mess something up, say something wrong, get caught on a camera, mess up a password. He’d leave a trace, a fingerprint, he knows it.
Deep down, he knows he’d sink the yacht, and they’d both drown like they were supposed to.
But then he thinks, I need to be able to trust you, Otacon.
“Sure,” Otacon answers at last, “I’ll do it.”
(For once, Otacon has to be on-site for a mission, playing partner to a man he thinks might never trust him again.)

Summary
Spoilers for the Five Nights at Freddy's movie.
He’s the one that stalls her repetition–glasses adorned once again, her father in front of her, not Spring Bonnie or Steve Raglan or anyone else–her father, who presses a kiss to her cheek and says “You did good, Vanny. I love you,” like he means it.
And she says “I love you,” back, because she does.
(Vanessa Afton tries to love her father.)
