    Summary

    Steve glances up, but Munson doesn’t give him much more than a flat glare. He grins with teeth, slouches a little, and his worn leather jacket opens up over a faded tee that Steve can’t quite see the graphic on.

    “Buckley,” he says, and then nudges her plate like a heathen. “Got a full moon appetite I see.”

    Robin sucks in a breath, eyes narrowed. “Oh wow,” she says. “Shouldn’t you be worrying about your third stint at senior year, Munson?”

    Munson’s got an expressive face; he looks very briefly like he’s been slapped, then says, reluctantly, “Yeah, I guess so,” and slinks away.

    OR-

    The one where Steve and Robin are accidentally werewolves because of Russians.

    Summary

    Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.

    This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

    No, wait. That’s not right. That’s Hitchhiker's Guide. Or was it Restaurant at the End of the Universe? Whatever, not important.

    Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.

    Except…he didn’t. He couldn’t have. Because Eddie Munson is currently arguing with himself in his fucking head about sci-fi quotes, which doesn’t feel especially like something that a dead person would have the capacity to do.

    The bats had killed him. There had been pain, and the sick sensation of tearing flesh. He’d had to swallow past a mouthful of his own blood to tell Henderson he loved him. Surely those were symptoms of imminent death.

    And yet.

    On April 1st, 1986, Eddie Munson opens his eyes in a dim hospital room. There’s a gasp from his left, and he tries to turn his head towards the source.

    “Easy there, kid. They’ve got you trussed up pretty good.”

    Eddie doesn’t need to see him. He’d know that voice anywhere, in any universe, hell dimension or otherwise.

    “Uncle Wayne?”

    Summary

    Eventually, Viktor stops even trying. He'll reach for an orange and roll it about mindlessly on the table top for a few minutes as he thinks, or ponders a particularly challenging runic equation. He'll roll one of them back and forth between his palms as he stands at the chalkboard, eyes raking over their scrawled notes and diagrams. And sometimes, he simply grabs an orange out of their dwindling supply, and plops it next to Jayce's elbow without a word. In all cases, the wordless request is there; and every time, Jayce takes up the orange, peels it, and sets it back on Viktor's side of the table. Often--not always, but often enough--he'll get a quick smile from Viktor, a duck of his head in thanks, before he goes back to whatever he was working on or talking about.

    Sometimes, he pushes the orange back to Jayce's side, and Jayce realizes that he has not in fact eaten yet that day.

    ***

    Sometimes, peeling an orange is just peeling an orange.

    Sometimes, it means something more.

    Summary

    Viktor’s voice is an ethereal whisper in Jayce’s thoughts as light blazes through the darkness of space like a supernova.

    "Live, Jayce."

    Jayce abruptly finds himself on the precipice again.

    ---

    Following the events of the series finale, Viktor once again saves Jayce and unwittingly revives himself as well. Viktor is determined to undo his past mistakes, even if that means leaving Jayce behind. That idea is complicated by their souls now being intertwined.

    And fate isn’t done with them yet.
