    Summary

    To Daniil's shock, Artemy instantly blushed redder than the bloody twyre, all the way from the bridge of his nose across his cheeks to the tip of his ears. His eyes widened, and he glanced between the underwhelming nosegay and Daniil's face repeatedly, raising his hand to cover his mouth.

    "Wh—Wow, oynon, this is... I didn't expect this from you," Artemy stammered, his tone low and almost raspy.

    "Yes, well. I've learned at least some things about the Steppe, haven't I?" Daniil preened, shooting him a modest grin.

    "Ah, I suppose you have, oynon... th—thank you, truly."

    Daniil gifts Artemy herbs without realizing that he's propositioning him according to Kin tradition. Culture shock shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    "The spirit is nothing more than twitching, trembling meat. Whoever denies meat will become extinct."

    Day 8, in which the Haruspex succumbs to a degrading, insatiable hunger. That is to say, he gives the Bachelor a blowjob in exchange for something to eat.

    Summary

    After he's unearthed a number of disturbing details about the Town-on-Gorkhon on his first day there, and gotten his hands unpleasantly dirty in a moment of uncharacteristic passion, Daniil Dankovsky sees an angry mob charging after who they believe to be a serial killer, and something clicks in his mind, as if the left and right hand have clutched the head for the first time...

    The Bachelor and the Haruspex decide to play together properly, instead of taking turns on the stage. It's not what the devisers have planned, but if they want to bend the rules, then a new system has to be put in place.

    Summary

    The people of the Town-On-Gorkhon whisper that you get strange dreams when you sleep under the violet light of the Polyhedron. But in Daniil Dankovsky's learned opinion? This is frankly ridiculous.

    Summary

    “Will you go with us? The path ahead of us is long and hard.”

    Artemy strained to move his jaw against the crushing, loving embrace of the living Town. I cherish everything alive. Are they not breathing? Are they not human? Are they not also creatures of the earth? He managed to pry open his mouth, and could hear Lines snapping.

    “Yes,” he forced out. “Yes, of course I will.”

    When sixteen souls are exiled from the new world of miracles, the Haruspex chases after them, determined against all odds to keep them alive and deliver them to a world where they belong.

    The first thing that struck Artemy—upon his waking—was discomfort.
    The second thing that struck Artemy—upon realizing that his wrists were thoroughly bound together in front of himself—was that The Bachelor was more than likely responsible for it.

    ___

    Summary

    In Daniil Dankovsky's life, there were sometimes distinct, shining moments that very nearly persuaded him to believe in supernatural forces that pulled at the strings of the world. Moments that were practically theater.

    Moments such as this one; where he found himself unbelievably staring at Artemy for the first time in five years.

    Summary

    “...What’s your name then, eastern transplant?” the young man asked when Artemy could taste smoke.

    “Artemy,” he answered, earning raised eyebrows for his honesty. The young man seemed surprised by the response to his own question. Instead of pulling out his own cigarette, he reclaimed the one Artemy had chosen to take a drag himself. There were plenty in his pack before, though, weren’t there?

    “Artemy… My, my… That’s your real name, isn’t it?”

    “…Should it not be?” he asked.

    The other young man was still smiling at him though and offering him back the cigarette still to share.

    “No. I rather think it should be,” he answered. “Audentes fortuna iuvat… Just for that, you can call me Daniil.”

    Summary

    He was as inexorable and solid and practical as the train that had brought him here—had brought them both here—and there was something admirable about the whole thing. About his distinctness, especially in this part of town. Daniil approved of it in theory, prided himself on his own distinctness as a man, but something about Burakh’s manner of sticking out nagged at him. It was like a rock stuck in his shoe, one that he couldn't dislodge.

    Summary

    Daniil Dankovsky still lives. His pulse and respiration rates are on the slow side, but they’re well within the normal range. This is a miracle: he coughed up several bundles of twyre and his own heart less than an hour ago, and now he breathes as calmly as any other sleeping man.

    Summary

    "Consummation." Artemy repeats, caught five steps back in the conversation. Far from the mental anchor he wanted, but one he evidently can't shake now that it's passed through his mouth.

    "That is what I'm offering." Daniil says, picking at the edge of his sleeve. Composed as all hell, as if Artemy's blood isn't on his face and in his hair and staining his tongue. "If you want it, too, that is."

    Summary

    One year later Dankovsky returns to Town-on-Gorkhon, paperthin and worn. Pushing aside his confused tangle of feelings for his old colleague, Artemy resolves to diagnose the nature of Dankovsky's malaise--and the cause of his return.

    Only in the old fishing hut outside of town is it safe, quiet enough to talk, and free from the memories that plague them both. But they can't escape the threads in their blood. As visions rise to the surface and pull at the tides of their veins, a choice must be made. The wound cannot be left to fester at any cost.

    (An after of sorts.)

    Summary

    “If you’re staying, does that mean you can teach me medicine?”

    “Ime beshe, Spichka! I’ll shut the door behind me, shall I?” 

    “You said there was more than just surgery. Mr. Bachelor knows all about - “

    “Thanatology.” Daniil provided as the boy trailed off. Murky’s nose wrinkled at the long word, but she didn’t comment. Sticky tried repeating it and got caught on the consonants.

    “See! Do you know about thana-tono-logy, aba?” Artemy held his hands up in surrender. “Does that mean you’ll do it?”

    Summary

    Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away…

    As much as Artemy wants to spend the night with his colleague, after the man makes an offer that they might take pleasure from each other if they're so inclined, when a butcher lays at last with his lover what will he see? A body to be caressed, or harvested? Haunted by visions of his place being to cut along the Lines, haunted by guilt over past choices, the Haruspex fears he won't be much of a close, intimate friend to Daniil Dankovsky after all...

    Summary

    He kept to his own path, his own work, certain that the only reason that other Dankovsky in the other timeline had failed so utterly was because Burakh hadn’t been playing fair but now he is the one with the power, so how could he fail?

    Very easily, apparently.

    *

    Since arriving in the Town-on-Gorkhon, the Bachelor has found he has a particular affinity with time.
