Summary
Could Monday truly be so far off? June 27th, he was crawling outta LA, and now, July 3rd, everyone was dead and the fucking lights were down. Larry tried to think maybe it’s just Phoenix. Phoenix was down, but it was okay, ‘cos everywhere else things would be just fi-ine, kid, you’ll see! But he was lying, and deep down at least, he knew it.
They weren’t all dead though, which Larry knew by the second thing he noticed, the thing that was leading him down this horrible, dark corridor: Somewhere, faint but audible in the big, empty darkness, in a weak, mumbling voice, someone was singing.
—
Or: Larry Underwood leaves LA a week or two later than in canon, gets stuck in Phoenix, and frees Lloyd Henreid from his cell. Of course, Flagg is still pulling the strings…but maybe not as successfully as he usually does… -

Summary
Despite everything, the worst part of all is that Lloyd wants to live. He deserves to die, sure, he can see that, but he wants so badly to be alive.
He wants to live. He wants to run away, to the south, to the north, anywhere. He wants Nadine to wrap her arms around him, and fly with her to someplace better. Fuck, he’d even go to Boulder, at this point, if it wasn’t far too late.
—
Or: Lloyd Henreid has half-baked dreams of running away with Flagg’s bride -

Summary
She told herself then at the time that it was to get back at Bryon, to get back at Tim, to get back at Tulsa and everyone in it.
But looking back, she suspects that maybe a part of her, just a small, little voice inside of her, didn’t wanna go it alone.
“Let’s send him a photo reel,” Angela said, finally looking at Mark. “He’ll be horrified.”
—
Or: After the events of That Was Then, This is Now, Angela decides she’s done with Tulsa. But she can’t make a clean break- whether she likes it or not, Mark Jennings has invited himself along for the ride. -

Summary
“You know, it’s not fair, Cade,” Sylvia murmurs. He looks at her questioningly, and she gives him a grin that is much colder than any that he’s ever seen from her before. “Some girls get nice boys. I don’t ever get nice boys. It’s always…” she cringes, “always Dallases.”
“Well, he’s…he can be nice, can’t he?” Johnny says hesitantly. He’s mad at Dal, hurt, sure, but it seems like shitty form to badmouth his best buddy to his girl…
—
Or: Johnny, Dally, and Sylvia over the years. -

Summary
The sun is blinding white, and for a second, she thinks she must be in Heaven, looking into the face of God. But He wouldn’t have her, would he? Not after all she’s done—she was going down, down, down, right in the opposite direction, was she not?
Nadine is not pulp on the pavement of Las Vegas. She is not a moon-mad bride, pregnant with the Antichrist. She is not herself either, that much is certain, but she thinks she’s more herself than she has been in a good long while.
Nadine is in the desert, by a sleep roll and her once-dead Vespa.
—
Or: After dying in Vegas, Nadine wakes up back in the desert—too late to undo what she’s done, but just soon enough to take another path. Which she does…again and again and again.

Summary
When he’d found the kid at Walt’s otherwise unoccupied house some weeks later, ablaze with unchecked emotion and a fist-full of fire, he’d felt a tad more sympathetic; the evidence of Walt’s new brand of havoc alight in the kid’s every pained word and the cowed bow of his body. But even that had been fleeting. Less than a half hour later, Hank had Jesse caught between a rock and a hard spot, had obligated him to record a confession for which Pinkman would reap the consequences if they couldn’t make them stick to Walt. Hank had coerced the kid into staying in Hank's own home, under the guise of protecting him, when really, it was only Hank who stood to gain anything from illegally holding the kid against his will and drugging him into oblivion to ensure he’d cooperate and give the desired performance the next day.
