    Summary

    This… This isn’t real.

     

    He turned his head and caught a glimpse of scarlet curls tumbling over pale shoulders and the back of a fine lace dress. Chills ran down his spine.

    This can’t be real.

    Phoenix falls ill after caring for his sick daughter, Trucy. His fever is bothersome, sure, but his sore throat? That's an entirely different story. It's a reminder of things he would have preferred to forget.

    Summary

    Kenji doesn't know why he can't stop; just that he can't.

     

    And he did try. He tried the rubber band, the breathing exercises, the soothing music, everything else his counsellor recommended when his father walked in on twelve year old Kenji, his arms covered in blood, and did what he did best: cared without putting in the effort of actually caring.

     

    Maybe that's why he can't stop. He's never had a reason to.

     

    Until now. Now, he lives with his best friend-slash-brother, and his family, who have all been nothing but warm and welcome. He's happy here.

     

    Yet, it isn't enough.

     

    .o0o.

    Kenji Kon, self harm, and discovering he'll always have a family.

    Summary

    “Hey, Roxie, do you happen to have any shirts that would fit me?” He asks, slowly cracking open her bedroom door. “This one is covered in—”

    Roxie is sprawled on the floor, not moving.

    “Oh shit, Roxie?” He hazards a step closer. “Are you okay? Did you fall?”

    She doesn’t reply. Doesn’t even move.

    .o0o.

    A look at what happened to Dave and Roxie once they got off Nublar. Title from line without a hook by Rick Montgomery.

    Summary

    The shaking turns to slow, sickening sobbing, and he collapses against the tree, clutching the rough bark with one hand, and looks at the front door he just sprinted from, almost willing his dad to come bursting through it, apologizing for that and every other microagression he's said in Kenji's short life.

     

     

     

    But that doesn't happen.

     

     

    .o0o.

    An offhand comment from his father makes Kenji spiral in the worst way.

    Summary

    Although he pretends otherwise, the camp fam always knows when Darius has a nightmare. They see his red eyes and trembling hands, they notice him never speaking unless he absolutely has to, they hear his one word replies, and see him signing I love you when he can’t stomach the words.

    Most of all, they feel it. Extra brushes against their skin, his soft fingers clutching their hands, tighter squeezes from hugs that last a few seconds longer. Darius loves quietly, in touches unmentioned, but it’s felt all the more intimately because of it.

    Darius also loves very deeply, right down to the bones. Unfortunately, this means he grieves very deeply, too, and as he bolts awake one morning, the image of all five of the camp fam lying dead in front of him still rings clear as day in his head.

    .o0o.

    Darius has the worst nightmare of his life — thank goodness it is just a nightmare, and not reality. But his brain hasn't caught up to that yet, and he needs all the comfort he can get in the meantime.
