  • "if he makes trouble, i do what i did last time and beat him. but this time, i kill him." "you make it sound so easy, caleb. you've never killed anybody." "neither have you." pogue sighed. "no, i haven't, but i'm not the one pretending to be the bad cop here. you're not gonna kill him, or you would have done it the first time you beat him, when you were lashing out and angry and scared and shit knows what else. then, maybe you could have killed him. maybe. but now? not a chance." "you know, the important part of what you just said is me. i'm the one who did it. i'm the one who put him out into limbo, and that's why i had to bring him back. i'm the one who brought him back, so he's my responsibility. the math is not that hard," said caleb wearily. (11/11)
    • THIS FIC IS A TREASURE OMFG
• across the universe (there's nothing gonna change my world) canon, hurt/comfort, nc17 ★★★☆☆

  • “i’m chase fucking collins, i’ve got everything i’ve ever wanted!” the declaration was slightly feeble, an air of unspoken insecurity lingering within the words. “oh, do you now?” (1/1)
