Beta: Hasn't been properly beta'd this time. I've been sick, and things didn't fall into place all to plan. All mistakes are my own -- hope things turn out okay.
Note: All lyrics belong to Matchbox Twenty. Spoilers for 'Sphere' by Michael Crichton ahead (it's an older work).
Author's Note: Seriously, this story is like the darkest 'Gilmore' project I've ever tried to claim. When I see these scenarios in my head, I want to see them brought to life by the 'Gilmore Girls' characters. I guess I'm hoping other people can see beauty in the same thing. Be warned, this is dark.

What do you do when you've lost your faith and your life is a painful lie?

Previously: Liam could feel Will's hurt, like a throbbing wound.

He'd wounded Will and it didn't matter if he'd never meant to do it: he'd beaten his pride as badly as Will's brute of a father had beaten Will's body.

Liam felt helpless and frustrated.

How was he to even begin to fix this?

Then his gaze fell upon Will's humble little rock collection on his bedside table.

Liam strode over and found the rock Will had offered him days ago. He held it out on his palm before closing his fist over it.

"Thank you for your gift, Will. I'll treasure it."

Summary: The same girls as were in Devotee, except this is when they were younger and Kat has just returned from her trip to Japan.
A/N: I kinda stayed up and wrote it, I just could NOT write it. lol. But I was trying to write something school related as well, so it's not the only reason I pulled an all nighter but woot, fun because before I wrote this I kinda fleshed them out and even a character that has yet to be introduced.

"Why do you have this old thing?" Lindsey asked Kat, who was unpacking her many suitcases about a wooden abacus with black frame and black beads. She brought home more junk than she left with at the start of the summer. She had spent it in Japan, just being a total tourist and relaxing. At first her Dad had come with her just to be sure she got there all right and got settled in, but then after a week he left for home but she stayed behind.

"Oh, I just thought it was cool. Don't you think it's kinda cool and has a certain charm? It's not like I'm going to put to rest the trusty calculator and start using this. Actually turns out it's a Chinese suanpan and not a Japanese soroban." Kat told her, as she stuffed clothes in a hamper she had dragged from the bathroom for her dirty clothes. It's not a whole summer's worth, that would be mad because then she would have run out of clothes ages ago but only like maybe a few days worth and the hamper had already been half-full or half-empty, which ever way you saw it.
