Summary
“Ah, Morse – we were wondering where you had gotten to!” He’s got the same jovial tone as Morse has heard a thousand times. The one that wished him happy birthday, laughed at his off-kilter jokes, reminisced about sneaking into a cinema as a boy. The hand on his shoulder is large and warm. “Grab a drink – you’re just in time for –“
“Are you going to come quietly?” Morse can’t meet his eyes, staring straight ahead of him. He thinks they call the strange sphere of mirrors a disco ball, if it’s even there at all. It hurts his head.
“Come quietly for –“ Realisation hits him like battery acid. His flushed face turns grey. Thursday looks old. Tired.
“Not here. Not today. Please.”
In which Morse does his duty.

Summary
It's nearly Christmas, and a body is found by the side of the Isis, throat laid open and body mutilated. A crumbling house, a play by Euripides, and the worsening weather all conspire to make this a case that Morse won't soon forget.

Summary
“I suppose that’s one good thing, at least.”
The child’s hums mid-drink. “Hm?”
“The branched timelines,” Loki clarifies. “There’s certainly one out there where he never gets pruned at all. Maybe he gets off the planet he isolated himself on, and he makes it back to… wherever his brother is.”
The child scoffs. “Yeah, it’ll only take a couple thousand years.”
Loki pauses.
It’s not so much an idea, really, just an inkling. At least until he takes the TemPad out of his pocket, staring down at the little device and tapping his fingers against it as he thinks. He’d only brought it as a means of escape, should he ever gather his strength enough to be willing to head back to the TVA and fix any of this, but…
“Well, maybe not.”
(Or, Loki and Kid Loki decide to honor the old man by giving him a better future. It ends up being exactly what they both needed.)

Summary
“Is this Agent Steve Murphy, DEA?” says the voice on the other end of the line, an elusively familiar one with an equally elusive and familiar accent.
“Yeah?” says Murphy, squinting ridiculously into the darkness, as if that would help him think any clearer. He really needs more sleep. More sleep, and less alcohol. “Who is this?”
“It’s Sandoval.”
“The fuck it is.”
