Summary
This is what had always been most treacherous about the Forsaken One--people are usually acclimated to its presence, long before they’re sacrificed to it. Loneliness isn’t the experience of finding yourself the only person in an empty room. Most of the time, people feel loneliness like a habit. Sometimes, there’s no reason for it all.

Summary
Martin’s breath hitches, and he turns, drops his face into the crook of Jon’s shoulder. His nose is cold, and he’s shivering, but Jon’s always run a bit warm so he just holds Martin by the shoulders, pulling him into his chest.
He doesn’t usually get to be the one to do this; doesn’t often get the chance to hold someone like this, to wrap them up and keep them safe. That Martin is letting him now sets his heart fluttering on butterfly wings.
Turning to press his lips to Martin’s temple, Jon asks, “Will you come back to bed?”
Martin sighs heavily. “Yeah.” He nods against Jon’s neck. “Okay. Let’s go.”

Summary
This is not a home.
Martin is smiling. Jon thinks it’s the first time he’s seen him smile in a while. He likes it.

Summary
They earn their ending. A happy-ever-after beyond the gaze of any eyes. Jon endures his abdication. This world has no Archivists, has need of none, the thankless crown of Knowing finally unburdened from his shoulders. The blood washes off Martin’s hands with soap and scrubbing and scalding water.
They live.
The end. In conclusion. Fin.
or: Martin struggles in the wake of the events at the Panopticon. He does not tell Jon.
