Summary
As Max settles gently into the sleep that tugs at the base of her head, stretching down her shoulders behind where Chloe's arms rest, she's struck with a wayward memory of a quote she read years ago, from a book whose title she can't recall, which forewarned in delicate fact: Life often gifts a calm before the storm, tearing apart the threads of hope so carefully gathered before.
In the morning, the sky is black, and the trees are torn in chaos with the wind.
---
Or, the progression of a thread of patience breaking.

Summary
The front door slams one final time this morning. Jim stops chewing his nail beds bloody in the resounding silence, and somehow he finds that the quiet is more horrible a feeling than the chaos.
Something is very, very wrong.

Jim finds a way to escape. It goes about as well as Spock expected, and he hasn't even known him longer than 48 hours.

Summary
Baz Pitch is an overworked uni student who -- between his heavy course load and his shifts at his aunt's bookstore -- is stressed all the time. There are expectations on him to follow the family footsteps, and he doesn't want to deal with that right now. His aunt Fiona's bookstore is his one oasis in this (except for on poetry slam nights) and he's glad to have her -- even if she does come with her own brand of crazy.
But when Simon Snow, a lit student with a short temper who's trying to distance himself from his bad history, starts working at the bookstore, Baz's life gets infinitely more stressful. Amidst bad poetry slams, author signings, getting locked in storerooms and gaining a (unwanted) roommate, Baz comes to realise that Simon Snow is so much more than he's prepared to take on.

“All this does not mean that I’m not still basically pissed off with you. I’m very pissed off, and it will come out now and then.” –His Last Vow
