    Summary

    Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.

    “C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.

    The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.

    They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.

    Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.

    The elevator door closes.

    or

    Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.

    Summary

    As a rule, Vader didn't really do anything with his social media account, but then the rant of some kid from Tatooine about the inefficiency of TIE Fighters began trending, the pilots and engineers on the Devastator started fixing their ships and Vader got invested.

     

    “Welcome to another episode of Scrap Hunting,” the teenager in the video said. He took a sip of water from the metallic canteen he was holding, drinking slow and carefully the way only a desert dweller did. “A couple weeks ago some sleemo commented that I’d never be able to improve any Imperial ships since I’m just Outer Rim trash. And I suppose you did have a point that the things I fix won’t ever reach the level of an Imperial TIE because I wouldn’t build such trash in the first place.”

    Summary

    He’s pretty sure that’s when he reaches his breaking point. Everything that’s happened in the past however many days rushed into his brain like a shock of electricity. He feels his breath get shakier as he lowers himself down.

    A hand cards through the profoundly greasy hair and pulls him in. He’s a little lost in thought as this happens so he just goes with it. He feels a bit weightless, as though he’s in the bathtub, sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, all slightly out of reach. It’s a freefall.

    He’s falling.

    God knows when he’ll fucking land.

    Summary

    “You still want to climb out of here?”

    “Yes,” Quentin says immediately.

    “It’s going to be hard,” Penny warns, his gaze weirdly intense and serious.

    “God, yeah, I figured it would be,” Quentin mutters, squirming out of Penny’s personal space. “Everything from pretty much every mythology ever says it’s a pain in the ass.”
