There are two seasons: the one where it rains water and the one where it rains blood. Rimshot. Bah-dum-dun. The bodies don't stop coming, and you sleep in seconds instead of hours. Perfect, achy, brutal story about McMurphy.

"Jason Todd," she says. "Well." She runs long fingers through her hair, and looks up at nothing. "What do you want? Good parts? Bad parts? Embarrassing stories?"
"I want to know if I'm like him."
That gets her attention. She looks at me in surprise. It takes her a couple seconds to figure out what to say.
"Jason Todd was a jerk and a punk," she says. "He was brave. Determined. Too stubborn for his own good. He liked power more than responsibility, and never avoided a fight when he could start one." She shakes her head, with a bitter little smile. "And he looked at me as if he were undressing me with his eyes. So, no. He was nothing like you." I don't know Steph at all, but this still made me cry. (Oh, Jason...)

Really lovely post-series Josh/Donna. It made me tear up, anyway.
