    Summary

    The entirety of space-time exists as a single, four-dimensional object. Every moment that has ever been is still being, somewhere. Permanent. Unchangeable. Real.

    Pete knows the exact shape of the moment Vegas let him in. He carries it like a wound he will not allow to close, because the wound is the only thing left.

    In which the Main Family lies, Pete believes them, and grief turns out to look a lot like a man who has forgotten how to want anything.

    Summary

    5 standalone VegasPete fics, 1 per episode (1x10-1x14).

    Fic 1 (1x10): A more sexually explicit ending to the torture scene.
    Fic 2 (1x11): Vegas deals with uncomfortable feelings.
    Fic 3 (1x12): The sex scene but with actual dialogue.
    Fic 4 (1x13): Pete and Vegas cope the only way they know how.
    Fic 5 (1x14): After the final scene, an ending filled with insecurity, comfort, love, and sex (because it’s Vegas and Pete).

    “You love being in control.”

    And that…that was true—but “I trust you,” Vegas said hurriedly, “and I want—need—you to—” he broke off, unsure how to put his motivation into words. He pursed his lips, looking away in frustration, only for Pete to bring a hand up to his cheek and turn him right back.

    “I trust you. I don’t need you to give up control just to ‘make up’ for the past. Or whatever it is you’re trying to prove,” he said, eyes and voice soft. “But thank you; I appreciate it,” he finished, leaning in and capturing Vegas’ lips in an unbelievably soft kiss, the touch featherlight.
