Summary
Footsteps scrambled on the landing and Rick turned to watch a scrawny kid half-stumble down the stairs. Yellow shirt, blue pants, and a red headband holding back long brown hair… wait what?
Morty came to a dead halt on the last step, eyes wide and glued on Rick. “What – Who’s this?” Morty asked and the voice wasn’t quite right, it wasn’t the voice he heard from every second person on The Citadel. It was a little higher, a little more feminine, and suddenly Rick was realizing he hadn’t done nearly enough research before he’d knocked on the door.
“I’m your grandpa, Rick,” he answered before Beth could make the introduction, his brow furrowing because what? How did he stumble across an anomaly like this?
“This is Morticia,” Beth supplied, gesturing to her youngest child. “Morty for short.”
U-694’s Morty wasn’t a Mortimer, she was a Morticia. Holy. Fucking. Shit.
(Or the one where Rick τ-314 discovers the trouble of pairing up with the multi-verse's rarest Morty.)

Summary
Morty didn’t have to be a genius to know that Rick hated it: keeping mom and Summer in the loop. And honestly she wasn’t entirely sure why he put up with it. Before (before before), if they disappeared for days on end he couldn’t care less what people thought of it. He’d leave mom and… and everyone else to worry about them or not – though usually it was not.
But ever since – since things had changed he’d text someone around dinnertime with an update – he even had an alarm programmed onto his watch to remind him since it was rare that evening on earth coincided with the time table of whatever planet or dimension their adventures had taken them.
And it was strange… strange to see Rick being so… conscientious.
But in all that time, on all those adventures, Morty never realized how much Rick was playing along, how much it was for her benefit, or how much taking away that small favor could upend her entire life - not until the school field trip.
(Or the one where Morty makes the slightly uncomfortable adjustment to living under Rick's thumb.)

Summary
People only see what they’re already looking for.
Beth knew better than most that Dad’s opinions (and everyone else’s) were preordained and there was very little she could do to alter them.
And it wasn’t like she had anything to hide; she just didn’t want Dad thinking that the coat of light blue paint she’d thrown up in the living room meant she cared. Or that the curtains she’d picked out and installed said she was putting down roots. Because she didn’t and she wasn’t. She was a different person now – different from the woman who lived in a house she hated with a man she didn’t love – and she could pick up and leave everything behind with no regrets at a moment’s notice. Just like he could.
(Or the one where Beth's night with her father is met with too many interruptions.)

Summary
“I think I let something bad happen to my sister,” Summer whispered in the dark, but she hadn’t meant to say the words out loud.
She wasn’t sure if she was talking to the plexiglass ceiling, the universe beyond, or the half-naked woman lying next to her in bed, but the thought had hit her like an axe and now a new crushing anxiety poured out of the gaping hole in the side of her head.
(Or the one where Summer sees something she wished she hadn't.)
