Summary: Failure suggests purpose, and if you were ever given one, beyond “find Lena”, then you have forgotten it.
This reverse chronology story looks at the events that led to Kane's "return" in the movie. Like the movie, it's weird and spooky and haunting.
The Bamboo Bridge (Crazy Rich Asians, 5516 words, G) byjehane
Summary: The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.
This looks at Eleanor's thoughts about Rachel and what she "won" at the mahjongg game, and the friendship between Rachel and Astrid that changes into something else, and features so many fascinating cultural and location details that I had to frequently pause to look things up (which I love).
