    Summary

    Here is yet another proof of his immense care, of his gentle and boundless wisdom: the Herald announces he will see to his dear friend alone. They needn't worry. Soon he will be reborn. But for the time being, ah— how about we ensure his comfort, hmm? Some space will do just fine. Some time resting under the sun.

    The Herald touches his friend's arm, softly, and takes him by the hand. He scatters the onlooking crowd without raising his voice, makes them float away like so many blown strings of a dandelion sprout.

    See? There is nothing to fear, he tells Jayce. You are among friends. You are safe. You are all mine.

    -

    Viktor takes care of Jayce. Purity of intention is a matter of perspective.

    Summary

    “One more word and you are out on the street, Talis,” Viktor issues his empty threat in his coldest of voices, paired with his fiercest frown. Jayce only beams at him. 

    “The battle’s already lost,” he announces. “Mel’s approved my time-off ages ago. I got all the goodies,” he rattles the brown bag invitingly, “and Sky’s manning the lab. You’re not getting out of it, V.”

    “Out of what?” Viktor demands, in increasing malaise, clutching at his crutch like a lifeline.

    “Of fun,” Jayce says, threateningly.

    [Or: Viktor's terrible, lovely 32nd birthday.]

    Summary

    Jayce and Viktor think they're the protagonists of their lives and it takes a village to undo the damage.

    Featuring: Engineers who look down on soft sciences giving each other Skinnerian conditioning, the ineffable horrors of being old, a woman and a heir to a megacorporation, daytime drinking and backalley surgery as self-care, way too many trade agreements, and a campaign for Sevika to get a nap.

    Summary

    Viktor didn't plan for this accordingly, and he really shouldn't indulge the Defender any more than he already has. Unfortunately, Jayce discovers a stellar way to circumvent the Herald's suppressant dosage, and the rush goes a little too far on both ends.

    Summary

    They spoke about the funeral almost as often as they spoke about the wedding. For Viktor it was a coin toss as to which would come first, a child’s game. For Jayce it was like playing cat’s cradle with the hangman’s noose.
