    Summary

    The magician has conjured many things, but possibly the strangest (aside from the elephant) is when, one day, he conjures two boys.

    Peter Duchene is going through it. But then Gabe and David quite literally tumble into his life, and everything changes.

    THIS. Both the coolest concept and execution of a concept ever. I'm going to have to reread it as often as possible. Gabe and Nat Nat and Gabe I love these two so much.

    Summary

    It's easy to pull the trolley lever when people are lining up to lay down on it.

    It's a lot more difficult when you have to tie down someone kicking and screaming.

    or, how Eva Stratt came to sacrifice Ryland Grace.

    Summary

    He pushes himself up onto his elbows to look at her. Searches her face. Sometimes when his gaze gets desperate like that, he looks just like their mom. “I’m not trying to hurt you,” he says.

    She scoffs. “You ruined my life.”

    Summary

    “Why are you here?” she asks him.

    He shrugs. “You tell me. I’m not sure why I’m here for—”

    For you, Natalie finishes when he trails off. “I thought only Mom could see you.”

    As if summoned, her mom calls for him from downstairs.

    The boy, her brother, grimaces. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Nat, I would stay but—I—I can’t.”

     

    or: 3 times gabe appears for natalie but is taken by her mom, and 1 time he’s there just for her
