    Summary

    Kevin started gasping. Then stopped. He struggled, then he didn't.
    Kevin smiled. A sad, pitiful smile. A bitter smile.

    "It was always gonna end up like this."

    It's 7:16 in Baltimore, Maryland. Andrew is sitting alone in a hotel room, trying to recover the lost memories of when he broke a promise for the first time in his life.

    Summary

    Riko had been six years old when his mouth was sewn shut so he would never know the taste of affection.
    Kevin had been fourteen when he had decided to bite at invisible stitches to pry that jaw open and lap at the bloodied mess.

    (A Riko character study, mostly in Kevin's point of view. 5 times Kevin watched the narrative doom Riko and the one time he decided to do something about it.)

    Summary

    When Viktor finally asks why Jayce stayed behind inside the Anomaly with him, Jayce stares at him as though he’s supremely disappointed by the question— as if Viktor has betrayed his own brilliance by asking something so irredeemably stupid. “How could I not? We’re partners.”

    Partners, Jayce calls them. Not for the first time, Viktor wonders: Partners in what?

    *

    Or: Jayce and Viktor survive the Hexcore, a blizzard, their own bodies, sharing a bed and all the things they’re too afraid to say. Slowly, they put themselves back together— piece by stubborn piece.

    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.
