Bridge To The Moon: To The Moon
(In which Great-great-great-great-great-great-granddad reaches that nearby, silvery, heavenly body.) Great-great-great-great-great-great-granddad: We were going down, not up, after leaving L1, even though we hadn’t changed direction, because we were now under the influence of the Moon’s gravity, rather than the Earth’s - so gravity was pulling everything towards the Moon, instead of towards the Earth, (as it had previously been doing up until we got to L1).

Element Inheritance
Home life sucks ass because when my parents aren’t passed out on the couch drunk, they’re having sex stoned out of their minds; and no one wants to see that shit. As soon as I spot sunlight, I smell-test my shirt, grab my black leather jacket, and stuff a pack of cigs in my pocket. Fuck being quiet. My parents won’t notice me leaving as the door slams behind me.

St Fandom Academy Part 9
Severus Snape was a controversial science teacher. On one hand, people did learn a lot through Snape, but he was anything but approachable. Snape made it clear through his sneerful voice and creepy facade that he disliked the students just as much as they disliked him.
