Summary
I inhaled the scent of clean dirt, and as I exhaled, a breeze pulled its fingers through my unbound hair, suggesting that I might sit back down and rest, for a while. It was not even a suggestion, really, but an agreement with what I already desired, to rest, to be content, to feel a sense of connection and completeness with the world around me I so rarely experienced in the waking world. Of course, I thought, I was asleep; whatever had been in the sweetsleep tea not only released inhibitions and freed the mind from its darker thoughts, but also allowed the user to meet pleasant dreams. I took in the details of the hill again, each juxtaposed layer of my past. A valley cradling the sleeper in their own memories to disguise the undercurrent sensation of being cradled by some greater being.
“Fitz,” a woman’s voice said ahead of me, almost as if summoned. I turned to find my eldest daughter sitting at the base of the hill, watching me with something like wariness.

Summary
“Don’t go. I’ve missed you. Sleep here tonight. Please.”
So I did.
I would like to say what came next was a result of this pondering, that the realization came as I considered his goodness, or that it arrived as I considered our brief moment of singularity in the moments before bed in which I asked to heal him. Instead, my breath caught watching his spun-gold hair in the flickering light of his abandoned cookfire, and the epiphanies fell onto me like an avalanche on a deer who can’t run fast enough down the snowy slope, so suddenly it seemed the wind had been knocked out of me.

Summary
Gojo’s coming out of the bathroom when he hears it. His shirt is still only halfway over his head, and his mouth is open to yell something obnoxious into the kitchen, but whatever the thought was had come to a screeching halt when the sound happened. He pauses for a few seconds longer, still frozen in shock, until it happens again.
“Ack-choo!”
Gojo’s brain finally restarts, and, only lightly getting tangled in his sleeves as he moves quickly down the hallway, skids to a stop in the entry to the kitchen.
“What was that?” Gojo exclaims. It’s been quite a while since he’s been so downright bewildered.
“What do you mean?” Nanami says, only barely glancing up. “Your breakfast is cold. You take too long in the bathroom.”

Nanami gets sick. Gojo takes care of him.

Nanami just wants to rest. Luckily, someone else wants that for him, too.

Summary
Nanami thinks that Gojo might spend more of his evenings in Nanami’s apartment than he does in his own home at the school, when he’s not off on missions. And Nanami lets him. He’s not even sure how it happened, really, but Gojo has a habit of barging into where he wants to be and making everyone else shift to fit.
So, though tonight is not strange, necessarily, it’s cast in a sort of dreamlike, fantastical glow that dulls Nanami’s senses, and it takes him another twenty minutes before he realizes he can feel Gojo’s leg twitching against his own. He can feel Gojo’s body heat radiating, rather than the neutral layer of coldness that encases all of Gojo’s careless touches. Gojo has to carve infinity from his being with a scalpel, and he’s done so in Nanami’s apartment.
