Summary
The black car skidded along the road before coming to a sudden halt on the side of the road.
"What will you do?" Hugh Legat, the secretary to the Prime Minister, asked.
“Carry on,” replied Paul von Hartmann from the seat across, “In a few hours, I have to present a press summary to Hitler. I've been told he has taken a shine to me.” He said sarcastically with a grin on his face, his glasses slipping down his nose.
Hugh looked away, appalled how his friend was able to joke about Hitler in such a calm and sophisticated manner.Bookmarked by questioning

Summary
When Paul was thirteen, his mother had told him how they used to worry about him when he was younger. She said he had the habit of saying the strangest things, knowing the strangest things. On a family vacation when he was seven, he'd seen the Berlin Cathedral and said, "I've been here."
Paul lived in Stuttgart, he most certainly had never been in Berlin before the age of seven.
But yet, he had. He had been there. He remembers water dripping down the majestic dome, water streaking down his prescription glasses, clothes soaked in the rain. The sky a stormy grey as he shuffled down the street- long brown coat splashed with mud and that had been annoying- that was his favorite coat.

In the hotel elevator, he stared at himself in the endless mirror. Thin man (Bob Dylan chords) in black coat, with little white dog. His nose was red from coke. Eyes red from maybe something else.

Summary
It was as dark as it could get in the city, with its perpetual haze of yellow-gray light ringing the horizon. Mickey’s eyes were half open, unfocused, directed vaguely toward the one tiny pinprick of light that had managed to glow through the screen of rainclouds and smog. If he hadn’t been so out of it, Mickey might have thought it was a little weird that there was a star visible in the first place—almost seeming to hang in front of the clouds rather than behind them—but he didn’t. He peered through his lashes, eyes glazed over, as the only obvious light in the sky did nothing of interest.
Until it did.
*
When late summer comes to Chicago, it finds Mickey Milkovich listless, directionless, and truly alone for the first time in his life. Mickey is content to leave his empty hours empty, but the universe has other plans: A mysterious force attaches itself to Mickey and urges him to leave his life behind, to go, come on, come on--
--and so he does.

Summary
"Know your space. Know your feet, if I move left, you must move with me. In ballrooms, where they've got the ladies on one side of the room and the fellas on the other too scared to gander, space is good, but not here it's not. Space suggests dissonance, a lack of unity." When Jungkook pulls him into his space, Namjoon squeaks, his feet struggling to catch him before he unceremoniously falls against Jungkook's chest.
Staring widely at the divot between his clavicles, Namjoon lifts his eyes to find Jungkook gazing down at him, a slanted, salacious smirk on his lips when he purrs, "Keep up, Joonbug."

Summary
There was always something odd to knowing that your life was limited. That, eventually, it will end. In a way it was comforting. The hell is contained, it ends, alongside of all of the good things. In another, it was horrible. There will always be so much to do, so much to be created, so much to be thought about, so much still left untouched. Life is a movie, it shouldn't be one to watch in the background.
And it's things such as these that haunt Yoongi as he sleeps, amongst all of the other things. He was on borrowed time, youth is fleeting and he's not even the person he wants to be yet. Doesn't make it better that the staple 'perfect boy' had come back to town. Still, he grits his teeth, pulls himself out of bed, determined to go out having lived a life that was more than just existence.

Summary
The worst part about loving Mickey wasn't the fact that Mickey (might have) slept with other guys or the fact that Mickey doesn't love him back or that Mickey and Ian will only ever be fuckbuddies. No, the worst thing is the moments where Ian thinks it will be more.
