Summary
“If the world were really ending…” Martin mused, “I mean, if we knew for certain it was going to, and there was nothing we could do to stop it… What would you be doing, right now?”
“I don’t know… I never really had a- a bucket list, or anything…” Jon sighed, thought it over. “I’d like to make things right with Tim,” he said eventually. “I- I tried, earlier, but he- he doesn’t want to speak to me.” If the world were really ending, he supposed, he could try again, but he didn’t think this was a thing that could be fixed in under a day. He wasn’t sure it was a thing that could be fixed at all. “What about you?” he asked.
“I don’t know either, really. I called my mum earlier, but she didn’t want to speak to me. I asked the people at the care home to give her a message, told her I loved her and all that. If the world doesn’t end, she’s going to be really confused.” He laughed weakly. “She’ll probably think I’m, I dunno, trying to guilt her for not answering the phone, but, well. It seemed like the thing to do.”
Yes, Jon thought. Telling people that you love them did seem like the thing to do, the night before the end of the world.

Summary
“Why do you keep throwing yourself into danger?” Martin finally says, his voice soft and his eyes on his own cup of tea, now clutched between his hands.
“We need answers, and someone has to do it." Jon can almost hear Martin roll his eyes at that. Softer, Jon adds, "And besides, no one will miss me if something happens to me.”
Martin scoffs at that, and Jon raises his eyes from Martin's tea up to Martin's face.
"What?" he repeats, his heart thudding in his chest.
“I will!” Martin insists, his face going a bit red in frustration. "I'll miss you, Jon!"
“What?" Jon echoes, feeling like a parrot. "Why?”
“Because I love you, you idiot!”

Summary
Tim says, in as casual a voice as if he were commenting on the weather, "So, this is it, then."
Jon, equally as good at talking about difficult things, agrees, "It seems so."
Tim sighs and adjusts his position a bit. "I'm sorry, you know."
This shocks Jon, and the noise he makes must indicate that, for Tim looks up with a wry grin.

Summary
If anyone were ever to ask, Martin thinks he’d have to say he fell in love with Jonathan Sims twice, or perhaps a million times over. He’d fallen first all at once and suddenly, the spiralling, nerve-wracking, cliché love at first sight type of love from the day he first met Jon and was a lost cause to his own crush instantly - and then, a second time, slowly and cautiously and piece by piece.

Summary
It’s only until Jon thinks to check his phone again that he realizes he has fifteen minutes left. At ten, he’ll have to make the short walk to the bus stop with the bag he’s checked over five times to ensure that he hasn’t forgotten anything and endure Tim’s tense hostility, Basira’s quiet indifference, and Daisy’s sharp eyes and sharper teeth for several hours until they arrive at Great Yarmouth.
“Jon?” Martin says. He's looking at him with brown eyes wide with concern and his hand is resting on the edge of Jon’s desk and god, Jon wants to kiss him.

Summary
Jon sighs. “Martin, look, I’m not… I’m not poking fun, or god forbid angry at you. I just… Going into… whatever I’m about to go into, not knowing if I’ll make it back, I just… After so long scorning you, distrusting you, and you still caring? I just worry that I somehow managed to… fool you.”
Martin scoffs. “You haven’t fooled me, Jon. Not even a little bit. That’s exactly the thing.” He exhales. “I guess… I’ve been able to spot your attempts to fool everyone with the ‘disinterested academic’ schtick and it just… didn’t work on me. Through all the tired bullshit I saw… I saw you.”
The night before Jon leaves for The Unknowing, Martin stops by his office for a few last words of encouragement. One more cup of tea. But their interaction unfolds into something far, far different.

Summary
When Tim and Jon have to share quarters in the last night of their life, allegedly, Tim looks over to Jon sleeping a dreamless sleep, and he swears he doesn't care. He doesn't care when he tosses and turns, and looks at him from the other bed a million light years away from his.
Tim swears he hates, when he goes over to his bed and they end up wrapped around each other. He hates when Jon kisses him with the desperation to keep him alive.Things were more complicated than that, of course, but who cared for technicalities? They were going to die.
