    Summary

    Six years after he and Viktor part ways on antagonistic terms, Jayce wakes up in the Machine Herald’s medical clinic.

    Jayce desperately wants to rub at his forehead, but the binding at his wrist stops him. He settles for squeezing his eyes shut. “Why?” he asks.

    Viktor is silent for barely a moment. He says, tonelessly, “I assumed this was preferable to dying.”

    Summary

    Viktor, a world-renowned astronomer, and the revolutionary microbiology researcher Jayce Talis are falling in love. But there’s a slight complication:

    Jayce pinches the bridge of his nose, and sighs, and pushes through the nerves. “You know how if I think about space, I panic?”

    “Yes,” Viktor says, nodding. “I am aware.”

    “And you know how if you think about microbes, you panic?” Jayce prods.

    Viktor’s expression flickers. “Two for two.”

    They’re determined to figure it out. Together.

    Summary

    Viktor’s gaze flickers back to him as the waves break against the sand, white-edged and lazy. They look at each other, as if standing on two opposite sides of an ocean, and Jayce is just as tragic, just as beautiful as the shore is. Grey, and tired in that peculiar light; scared, undoubtedly, in some inexplicable way. 

    Viktor blinks and steps into the sun. He can feel it shine on his face. 

    “Will you tell me, now? About that nightmare?” he asks. 

    There’s a deep intake of air; a wide, bright spell stretching across the line where they stand. Two strides that feel like nothing—like the end of the world—before Jayce holds him. His hands come up, knuckles brushing against Viktor’s face. Wind and salt, and his heart caught halfway. A gasp that doesn’t spill. 

    “Jayce,” he says, and he does sound like he’s outrun a boat, an army, to make it here. It’s a prying open, spine and bones to reach for something Viktor never thought he would be asked to give. He whispers, “Jayce, what are you doing?” 

    Or - Jayce gets one more chance to fix it.
