    Summary

    He’s sat down on the couch now, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, shoulders all tense again, and Blanc is hit with the urge to reach forward and sink his hand into his neck like he did yesterday. But then again, pent up as Jud is, what was acceptable to him last night might not be such a good idea now. If Blanc being in his vicinity right now seems like a welcome presence, he’s pretty sure Jud would explode if he were to poke at him the wrong way.

    “Are you sure,” Blanc says, “that you’re alright with me goin'?”

    Jud looks at him then, skittish, from the corner of his eye. His body is still turned away from Blanc’s, jittery, his knee bouncing. “I’ll be okay,” Jud says. “Promise I’ll behave.”

    “Sure,” Blanc says. “Because you’re so good at behavin'.”

    (Or: Blanc keeps finding himself back in Chimney Rock, tries to deal with his own changing life, and attempts to ignore the enormity of his desire.)

    Summary

    Napoleon had really hoped to never have to go through a thing like this again. Being strapped once to an electric chair was trauma enough. The last time, he’d had nightmares for weeks after the fact, not that he would ever have told a soul.

    “Hold down that button long enough,” the voice continues, “And your partner will die.”

    It takes a second for the significance of the man’s words to register. Napoleon stills.

    “You want me to kill Peril?”
