Romance
Firebug: Ch. 29 - Boiling Point
Roman kept his head down as he moseyed through the halls. He could hardly focus on his classes at all, thanks to the nuclear bomb Nurse Flanagan dropped on him last night. Having the ability to control one element was enough of a challenge, but two? Two felt impossible. Like, hiking up Mount Everest in nothing but his boxer shorts impossible.

The Midnight Oil
The flames were closing in; she couldn't see her way around for all the smoke. Couldn't breathe. Why had she done this alone? Why did she always insist on doing these things alone? She tried to hold her shirt over her mouth to filter the air, but it didn’t help. She started coughing; her throat burned all the way to her lungs. Coughing didn’t help clear them; she just inhaled more as she breathed in. Her chest ached and shuddered with each ragged gasp. She crashed into a tree and held onto it as she began to fade out, and it was warm, too warm. She felt blisters forming on her hands already. She looked back at the direction she’d come from. There, in the distance, a dark shape emerged from the billowing smoke, moving quickly, running. She needed to keep going. To get away, but she couldn’t, it was too late.

Firebug: Ch. 27 - Sabotage
He dreamed of her. For the first time since he was little, Theo saw her in his mind's eye. Her soft, blue-green eyes were more beautiful than he remembered; her pale, freckled face remarkably similar to his... only sadder. He could feel her arms around him - her long, auburn plait tickling his shoulder - as she helped him on with his coat and wellies. Two suitcases sat by the door; one large and brown, the other small, red, and covered with Postman Pat stickers.

The Hand That Reached Back
The path was already there, though I could not remember stepping onto it. It opened beneath my feet as if the world had been waiting for me to notice it. Grass leaned softly against my ankles, bright with the kind of green that looks impossible until it is right in front of you. The air was warm, but not heavy. Sunlight poured through the high leaves in broken streams, touching the ground in gold and then disappearing again beneath patches of shade. It was not a field, but it was open like one. It was not a forest, but it breathed like one. The place refused to be only one thing. It stretched wide enough to run and deep enough to get lost. It gave room to laugh, but kept secrets between the trees.

Firebug: Ch. 26 - Taking a Turn
"Get out," Nurse Flanagan spat, "Now." Theo's head whipped back and forth, glancing frantically from his exhausted boyfriend to the older woman and back. He was so stunned - so confused - by her sudden shift in demeanor, he couldn't think. Eventually, he managed to choke out a single, befuddled word.
