Summary
Jean has long thought Marco Bodt, his best friend and maybe something more, to be long dead, and he thought, maybe, that he'd made his peace with it. That was how life was, as a soldier. People die, and people don't come back.
But after a report comes in from spy stationed in Marley, he learns that might not be the case.
Jean quickly realises that dead things have a bad habit of not staying dead, and that it takes a thousand times longer to put things back together than it takes to break them apart.
(7/7)

Summary
He’s sat down on the couch now, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, shoulders all tense again, and Blanc is hit with the urge to reach forward and sink his hand into his neck like he did yesterday. But then again, pent up as Jud is, what was acceptable to him last night might not be such a good idea now. If Blanc being in his vicinity right now seems like a welcome presence, he’s pretty sure Jud would explode if he were to poke at him the wrong way.
“Are you sure,” Blanc says, “that you’re alright with me goin'?”
Jud looks at him then, skittish, from the corner of his eye. His body is still turned away from Blanc’s, jittery, his knee bouncing. “I’ll be okay,” Jud says. “Promise I’ll behave.”
“Sure,” Blanc says. “Because you’re so good at behavin'.”
(Or: Blanc keeps finding himself back in Chimney Rock, tries to deal with his own changing life, and attempts to ignore the enormity of his desire.)
