Summary
Laurence woke with a start, and for a long moment did not recognize his surroundings. The cabin was filled with light, but it was not his, and his berth was startlingly unmoving; no hammock at all.
He sat up, and met Napoleon’s eyes. The emperor was sat again at the table, over papers and maps, and some unrepentant air about him declared as well as if he’d said so that he had been watching Laurence as he slept.
“Ah, you are awake.” His eyes again roamed Laurence, up and down, with an appreciation that made Laurence’s cheeks heat. “You look much better.”
If Napoleon had been on the French dragon transport in Crucible of Gold.

Summary
He wonders fleetingly if, in the way of dreams, the lake is him. But maybe not, because from it rise black tentacles. They’re thick and glistening with slime, with suckers that run along their undersides. He watches while they grope for him. One catches at his ankle and, finding him, begins coiling upward around his legs.
Arthur smiles and reaches out to another. “Hello, John.”
It nudges at his hand like a happy cat seeking pets.
Hello, Arthur.

Summary
“Run, darling,” John says into Arthur’s ear.
Arthur runs. Doesn’t hesitate, doesn’t question because John has taught him the consequences if he doesn’t take it seriously, doesn’t run when John chases him. Whether he’s caught or escapes, the end will be a delight for them both—so long as John is confident Arthur gave it his all.
Predatory immortals play strange lovers' games.

Summary
There was an alleyway before the next cross street. If they went that way, it would dump them out to the rear approach of the harbor. “There’s nothing, John.”
John had begun fidgeting, almost frantic. He gave Arthur a desperate look. “Arthur. I need to go." He took two steps, stopped. Twisted suddenly and came back to grab Arthur’s hand. “Come on, Arthur!”
Had John just thought about leaving him behind?

Summary
“It’s all right, Arthur,” John says softly, holding the reflection’s gaze. “It isn’t going to hurt you.”
It smiles, bright and painfully sweet, right at him. John’s breath catches. Is that what Arthur looks like when he smiles? He reaches back to brush his fingertips down the side of the reflection’s face. “You look so hurt,” he murmurs to it. He didn’t even mean to speak. “You look so sad.”

Arthur thrashes in his sleep. He shouts, sometimes. And a lot more often, he mutters to himself. Sometimes Peter is pretty sure he isn’t asleep and that he’s just talking to himself. People think that’s crazy but honestly it’s just something lonely men do a lot.
But here’s the thing...

Summary
It's a holdover from his old body, his old identity. Sometimes his blunt little human teeth ache to bite. To rend, to tear into flesh and set his jaw and just rip.

Summary
He closes his eyes and shivers as an oversized fingertip strokes along one of his pinions. He feels so tired.
Vergil knows. He knows everything in Dante’s mind, here. Then again, when didn’t he? “Cease fighting this hopeless battle. Come to me, brother.”
He shivers again and sways in place. If it had been Vergil in his completion asking that… But Urizen is only a piece of him, warped out of his proper shape in the absence of his balancing forces.
“Perhaps,” Urizen says softly. “But completion for you or I has always included us both.”
