Summary
(learning how to live when your death was the mechanic by which you could succeed.)
Then the assassin says, "I don't know where to go from here."
At first Corvo thinks one of the Whalers must have snuck into the room, that maybe this is a coded message, that that's why it makes so little sense—but no. It's just him, and the assassin on his knees.
"I don't know how to change this," he adds. It sounds as drained as Corvo feels. "I've tried... everything I could think of. Nothing worked. This is how it always ends."Bookmarked by Neare

Summary
Corvo hates him, by the Void; every fiber of his being wants him dead. He hates how Daud's face haunts his nightmare, how he can't dream of Jessamine without being flooded with visions of her death.
But he owes it, to Jessamine's memory, and to Emily's future, to be better than that. He lowers his blade, with only a few drops of blood running from a thin cut on Daud's throat, and the assassin stares at him with shock and wonder.
That being said, if Daud imagines Corvo will simply let him walk free, he's overestimating his capacity for mercy.
(AU where Corvo throws Daud in Coldridge after DH1 instead of letting him go.)

Summary
He mutters, "I'm not letting go until you tell me what you're going to do when you've crossed state lines."
"I told you," Robby huffs, "Beer. Hot apple cider. Maybe a chicken pot pie on the porch of some good Samaritan who takes pity on me."
"Yeah? Chicken pot pie?" Jack hums, raising his eyebrows, receiving an affirming nod from the other. "Gonna go on a stereotypical-ass spirit journey? That's what you're going to do, Michael? That's the reason you hugged me like that? Like you were savoring it?"
/
And Michael Robinavitch would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for Jack Abbot.

Summary
“Say you got married,” Robby found himself asking. “Would you wear your dress blues? Or civilian clothes?”
It had only been an idle thought, no different than any number of easy, directionless musings of the sort that often came over the two of them on mornings like this one, when no one had a shift to go to for at least thirty-six hours. Robby didn’t mean anything by it. But he regretted the words the instant they left his mouth, even before he saw the incredulous grin slide over Jack’s face.

A particularly tragic case has left Robby low. Jack comes over to raise his spirits, and though Robby is one secretive son of a bitch when it comes to his own feelings, everything seems like it will be okay.

Summary
The first pops sound when Jack is coming back down from CT. He's in the stairwell—he hates the confines of the elevator unless he's having a bad leg day—and he's immediately on high alert. He slides to the side, crouching low and pressing up against the inside wall so he'd be just out of sight to anyone coming up the stairs. It limits his field of vision, but he needs a moment to assess, and he wouldn't be able to see anything anyway. The sound was too far away to be localized in the stairwell.
He waits for what feels like an eternity, his breath caught in his throat, and then he hears the first scream.
