    Summary

    “He hasn’t woken up yet, so he might be in shock when he finally does, if something happens don’t hesitate to call us, alright?” A stranger woman’s voice said, her tone gentle and reassuring, probably a nurse.

    “Is it really okay for me to go in alone? I’m not sure if—” Another voice — that he recognizes immediately as Till’s — speaks, but the nurse shushes him before he can continue.

    “I’m sure you are worried about him, and it’s not our place to intrude. It’ll be fine.”

    Or the aftermath of Ivan's attempt.

    Summary

    Sometimes, all he can think about is how he’ll kill himself.

     

    “Will! Will, come on- come on, wake up-”

    His lungs shudder as he breathes in, hands gripping his face, his shoulders, alternating wherever they could.

    “That’s it- that’s it, come on, come back to me-”

    He feels dizzy, out of it, the way he always did. He’s pulled into a chest, a heartbeat he could spend forever memorizing, and tries to get his bearings.

     

    Or, Will is going through some shit. He knows a way to get out of it, but... no one seems content to let that happen.

    Summary

    Lighter has a handful of bars he frequents in the city, despite being reluctant to touch most of the alcohol. He likes the busy but not bustling atmosphere, the low light, the friendly shouts and jeers that nonetheless leave Lighter in an isolated bubble. It's a nice way to unwind without risking being drawn into maudlin thoughts.

    He gets approached less here than he does down the street, for whatever reason, but it's appreciated. At least it is until Lighter turns around in his seat to call for another drink and locks eyes with a pretty young thing with an embarrassed expression on his face that screams, oops, caught!

    Summary

    Somebody pissed off McCaffrey,” Cecil says miserably from the Iris message flickering in midair, in the middle of Nico’s cabin, at two in the morning on a godsdamn Thursday. “So she sent, like, a dozen karpoi to surprise attack us in the middle of the night. We’ve been trying to get rid of them, but they just keep respawning. Can you come poke them with your magic sword?” Nico stares at him.

    “No.”

    “Oh, come on! Why not?”

    “It’s two in the morning! I was sleeping!”
