Summary
Alex made a split-second decision. He yanked the shed’s fire extinguisher off the wall and swung it bodily at his father. Not to take him out, just to get him away from Michael.
“KEEP YOUR BIGOTRY TO YOURSELF. I AM DONE WITH THIS FAMILY, THIS SO-CALLED LEGACY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I AM DONE WITH YOU.”
Alex slammed the shed door closed behind them without a look back. He had everything he cared about in this world on his body or clinging to it. His mother’s silver dream-catcher necklace was an ever-present warm spot against his sternum under his shirt.
OR
What if Alex had stood up to Sarge that fateful evening in the shed and then escaped with Michael in his arms?

Summary
“Well,” she had to clear her throat before continuing, “the ring under your thumb is lapis lazuli and was a gift to me from Grandma Patty when I was just a kid. Was just barely able to wear it on my thumb until my hands got big enough to hold it on my index finger. It’s a healing crystal that is connected to your Vishuddha, or Throat Chakra, it represents the clear waters of communication, and you’re looking at me like I’m speaking in tongues,” she amended with a chuckle.

Summary
That was the day Maria had given Alex the quartz, apparently purchased on the sly in the gift store. She must have seen him gravitating towards the crystals every time they made a circuit of the room while killing time at the end of the field trip. Its qualities are touted as helping with anxiety and relieving stress and frustration. She’d been his rock their whole lives and now she’d given him a piece of herself to carry with him, as it were, and he’s always loved her for it.

because my heart is beating up a furious storm by mythras_fire

Summary
Alex’s smile freezes on his face. His heart skids to a stop for one terrible moment. His brain balks at such a knee-jerk reaction from the renegade muscle and delivers a swift kick to his poor lungs (always caught in the middle of any upheaval), expelling all of the air and threatening his throat (always in cahoots with his heart) that it better stay open to admit the next breath if it knows what’s good for it. His heart restarts with a vengeance, beating up a furious storm. The tears that never get to come out and play mulishly shove the smile right out of his eyes but his lips are still frozen in place so Alex is pretty sure no one will notice.

“Who thought it was a good idea for people to strap razor-sharp blades to their feet and slide around on freezing cold ice, anyway?” Kyle grouses.
“Uhhh, let’s see now, the National Hockey League, the Olympics, the sovereign nation of Canada–” Alex grins.
“The newly-formed and totally kickass PWHL!” Rosa adds as she skates past them again.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, shaddup,” Kyle rolls his eyes and almost falls over backwards.

Seriously, who did something like this? Is that what his brothers had been up to this afternoon?? And why couldn’t Sanders have said something like, ‘Oh hey, by the way, could you take care of the teenager packed away like a statue in the wooden crate that I may have klepto'd from a military base for me? Just for like a few days, but watch out, he bites.’
