    Summary

    "Midway along the journey of our life I woke to
    find myself in a dark wood, for I had
    wandered off from the straight path."

    Dante. The Divine Comedy: Inferno.

    As Spring dawns in Oxford, Robert Lewis teeters on the brink of New Life; respected retirement, new relationship, the prospect of seeing his children and protege set out on paths of their own.

    But his nights are spent among the dead, in a prison whose secrets are so long buried all joy, hate, grief and secrets are crumbled to dust.

    Set at Easter 2014, some months after Season 7.

    Summary

    Fidelity to a cause is easy as long as you believe most of what they're doing is right. Fidelity to yourself is a lot harder, because it's easy just to see your life as a series of failures rather than a series of successful recoveries from failures. Learning something from each of them.

    Clint Barton has had very few precious things to feel that strongly about, but everyone has to grow sometimes. Like most of his life though, it's not exactly a straight line or an easy recovery.
