have you forgotten what we were like then (3715w) — Stewy would probably split apart his soul and sell it if it would run him a decent price per share, but this is a different kind of mortal sin. (After the press conference, Kendall contemplates telling Stewy the truth about why he walked.)

i wanna feel the heat with somebody (6682w) — The proximity feels familiar but heightened. Stewy wants to tell Kendall over and over “I am here, I am here, I am here,” but he never lets the words form in his mouth. They are foreign, uncouth. Canon divergence from “Nobody Is Ever Missing.” What might have happened that night if Stewy stopped Kendall, causing the accident to never take place.

numb gums and nosebleeds (4251w) — February 1999. Cambridge, MA. Stewy is always chasing Kendall, in one way or another.

wouldn’t it be nice? (2784w) — Kendall smiles and takes another sip of his drink, letting the cool glass linger against his palm to drag him further into the present. Somehow, Stewy always manages to tease a reaction out of him. His presence overwhelms, cancelling out whatever unpleasant feeling preceded it. Kendall chases the familiarity of him. Set five months after “This Is Not For Tears.”

up in smoke (1811w) — Kendall watches the horizon, skyscrapers bursting up through the ground like concrete giants. He lights a cigarette. July in Manhattan, 1948. Saturday, before sunrise.

the second hand unwinds (3542w) — Kendall has come to Stewy with insomnia bruised eyes more times than he can count. Set during “Pre-Nuptial.”

i don’t forgive you (but please don’t hold me to it) (4466w) — After abstaining from the vote of no confidence, Stewy is looking to make it up to Kendall. For whatever reason, Kendall lets him. (Canon divergence from “Prague” in which Kendall agrees to “talk in private.”)

non-vintage champagne (915w) — Kendall returns to the pub to reminisce.

my breath reaches for the back of your neck (6537w) — Kendall tries not to think about his father, his family, or what any of this will mean for the company come morning, but Stewy knocks everything loose. He tends to do that, picking up all of his pieces just to knock them loose again. (Set post-Sad Sack Wasp Trap.)

contrary to popular demand, i'm back with more ;)
