Summary
His name is Niall.
His name is Niall, and he has a brother. A brother who is on his way to see him right now. Not to pick him up and take him home, he’s reminded, they need a few more days of testing and imaging to make sure his brain isn’t going to bleed into his skull and kill him, but at least now there is someone who can put him back where he is meant to be. Who knew where that was. Who he was.

Summary
“Oi, shaaaggeeer, I can hear you in there.” The voice, gravel rough, is barely muffled by the locked door that separates them, and Niall knows, somehow he just knows, that it’s because his face is pressed right against the wood. That pale, single-scar face. The face of all his nights. A deeply sunken part of Niall imagines how his spit must be staining the wood.
The banging on the door rages on.
“Oh my god,” Alby whispers, no longer nonchalant. “What the fuck.”
Set during episode 2. What if Ruben heard them while Niall was in Alby's room?

Summary
“On your knees then,” He gestures lazily to the floor between his spread legs and watches Niall swallow, eyes nervously darting between the hardwood and his face.
Niall tries that soft, reasonable tone he takes when he thinks he can steer him right. “Ruben- what are you saying? Come on, let’s just go to the couch like we-“
“I thought you were hungry?” He moves slowly, makes a show of unbuttoning his cuff and rolling the fabric up to expose his wrist. Veins on his forearms and wrist bulging and yeah, now he’s got Niall’s attention.Bookmarked by The_Dresden_Files
