Here's to another year surviving the worst timeline!

2025 was not always kind to me, but this community always has been. I'm looking forward to what 2026 will bring.
I’ve been wanting to change my username for a hot second and I realized last night I could just… do that

Aaron: I’ll lock the door on my way out. Text me when you can, okay?

Marina squeezes his shoulders, trying to ground herself as she braces for whatever is behind that door.

Marina: Okay.
September 28, 2026 at 10:39 PM
Marina: I’m so sorry.

Aaron: Don’t be. This can wait.

Whatever he just heard was not a stressed co-ed. Making sure she’s safe is more important than him getting laid.
September 28, 2026 at 10:18 PM
Marina: Aaron… I-I’m sorry. I can’t… I have to…

Aaron: Baby, it’s okay.

Marina: I can’t just 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 her-

Aaron: I know. Go in there.

The buzz from the juice, the cocktail of hormones, all of that fizzles. She 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 it.

She 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 Claudia was having night terrors again. She insisted they were gone, a thing of the past... Marina should have known better.

How is she supposed to woohoo while her sister is suffering across the hall?
September 28, 2026 at 10:09 PM
Aaron: What the hell was that?

Frantic footsteps thump against the floor on the other side of the door. Another door slams.

Marina: Claudia?

She hears uneven breathing, the panicked gasps unfortunately too familiar for her to dismiss.
September 28, 2026 at 9:58 PM
Marina: I love you, Aar-Bear.

Aaron: I love you too, Mare-Bear.

They’re about to slip into Marina’s room when a sudden thud and scream from across the hall snaps them out of their tipsy, lovesick embrace.

The climb up two flights of stairs is slow and clumsy when you can’t take your hands off of each other, but these two don’t seem to mind. Their destination’s important but the journey sure as hell feels good.
September 28, 2026 at 9:44 PM
Marina: I think we’re going to head out.

Jade: Yeah, you are! I want 𝘢𝘭𝘭 the details tomorrow! I don’t want to be able to look Aaron in the eyes for a 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬!
September 28, 2026 at 9:32 PM
Jade: There are condoms in my bedside table drawer if you need one. And you 𝘥𝘰 need one. Gem and Clauds are probably still out, and I can keep Mal preoccupied if you want the place to yourself.

Marina: Thanks, girly. Really.
September 28, 2026 at 9:27 PM
Lacing their fingers together and wiping an imaginary tear from her eye, Jade switches to support mode.

Jade: Aaron isn’t expecting you to do acrobatics, babes. Just relax and have fun. That’s what it’s all about. Having fun with someone you care about.
September 28, 2026 at 9:21 PM
Marina: Quit your giggling!

Jade: I’m sorry, I’m sorry! You’re just so cute!

Marina: Do you have any advice or are you just going to sit there tee-heeing at me all night?

Time for Jade to catch her breath and resume her bestie duties.
September 28, 2026 at 9:10 PM
Jade: You’ll have to talk to Aaron about that. Hope you like sausage!

Marina: You know I’m a veg- Oh. You mean like his thingy.

Jade: 𝘈𝘏!

Once again, Jade is the only one who appreciates her refined sense of humor.
September 28, 2026 at 9:02 PM
Marina: I’m kind of nervous, though. What if I’m not good at it?

Jade: Honey, woohoo’s like pizza. Even if it’s not great, it’s still pizza, so it’s pretty damn good.

Marina: Great, now I want pizza.
September 28, 2026 at 8:58 PM
Jade: No way! You two have never done it before? I get you’re ace, but like… 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳?

Marina: I love Aaron, but I’ve just never felt like an urgent need.

Jade: You’re losin’ me here.

Marina: I want to give it a try. Even if it’s not my thing, it’s something I want to experience with him.
September 28, 2026 at 8:50 PM
Marina: So, uh, why’d Mal dye his hair?

Jade: You want the answer he gave me or the real one?

Marina: Let’s start with his answer.

Jade: He wanted to try a new look.

Marina: Now the 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 answer?

Jade: On our last date, the waitress thought we were siblings.
September 28, 2026 at 8:43 PM
Aaron: I’ll do whatever I can to make it special.

Marina: It’ll be special because it’ll be with you. Go on, go kick Mal’s butt at pool. I’m gonna go not tell Jade all about this.
September 28, 2026 at 8:27 PM
Aaron: Wha- 𝘖𝘩! Are you sure? Tonight?

Marina: Yeah, I’m sure. You’re right. I should do something for myself, and I want to have this experience with you. I think I’m ready.
September 28, 2026 at 8:18 PM
Aaron: Claudia’s doing fine. She's out having a well-deserved night off with her girl, so you can focus on you. What do you want to do right now?

Marina: Well… There is 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 I was considering doing tonight.

Aaron: Yeah? What?

Marina: …𝘠𝘰𝘶.
September 28, 2026 at 8:06 PM
Marina: Okay, fine. Claudia was always… the difficult kid, for a lack of a better word, so I had to be the good kid. You know, try to make her happy, take some burden off of Trent. I’m just… kind of used to trying to make things easier on people.

Aaron: Except yourself.
September 28, 2026 at 7:59 PM
Aaron: You’ve got a big heart, and I love that about you, but sometimes you care about other people so much, you let yourself fall by the wayside.

Marina: That’s not true.

Aaron: Last month you 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 gave a homeless woman the shirt off your back and almost got arrested for public indecency.
September 28, 2026 at 7:53 PM
Marina: Obviously I care about her, Aaron. She’s my twin.

Aaron: I’m not saying you shouldn’t care. I just don’t want you to forget to care about your own mental health.

She lets out a scoff.

Marina: My mental health is 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦. I’m a psychology major, 𝘥𝘶𝘩.
September 28, 2026 at 7:22 PM
Aaron: Yeah. That’s tough, baby.

Although Marina’s not the most observant, even she can see Aaron bite his tongue.

Marina: What’s on your mind? You can tell me.

Aaron: I get you care about your sister, and it sucks she’s stressed, but… She’s taking up a lot of your emotional headspace.
September 28, 2026 at 7:12 PM
Marina: I tried to talk to Claudia again, but she totally blew me off. I know she’s struggling but she won’t accept that and let me help.

Aaron: Mm.

Marina: I offered to practice my therapizing on her and she threw a shoe at me… and she wears heels so it was really pointy.

At least Jade and Marina are having better nights with their partners. Jade and Mal are tearing it up in the absolute worst spot to take screenshots while Marina and Aaron catch up. Long distance isn’t ideal… but they can teleport to the other side of the world with a phone call, so who cares.
