Summary
There’s a wound that Viktor left, the first time he walked away. To have him again now is to close it with a knife: a back-barbed blade that fits neatly into Jayce’s chest, snug there against his heart, where it offers a smirking facsimile of wholeness. A fickle reprieve from the aching-gnawing part of him that has never really learned to let go.
Even the mere semblance of distance tugs at the blade. It’s a matter of self-preservation, he tells himself, to cling closer. Out of fear that there will be nothing left the next and final time that Viktor pulls away.
At the same time, Jayce isn’t sure he can blame him.
Maybe it’s that Jayce came back wrong: that he cannot sleep without thrashing, that he flinches away from the shadows of a fire cast just so, that his brain cannot tell the difference between ravine rock and their hovel’s safe stone beneath his knees. That sometimes he sees double, straddled somewhere between wakeful nightmares and slumbering delirium, like he left behind a part of him there that still sees and feels, a ghostly eye and a phantom limb of cold-alone suffering.
or: when love is enough, but it isn't easy. not when it's the kind of hurt that doesn't heal on its own.

Summary
He pictures the funeral sometimes.
He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.
He pictures swallowing them himself.
Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

Or... Jayce struggles with Catholic guilt and confronts his feelings for his roommate.
