    Summary

    The first time Calamity Jane ever thought about kissing someone was when she saw Adelaid Adams dancing and singing in front of her dressing room mirror.

    She didn't think of kissing at first, naturally. She had to deal with the feeling she had been thrown from a bolting horse first, something she hadn't experienced since she was four years old. The feeling of flying and plummeting, taking split seconds and at the same time almost an eternity. The impact sending her breath and thought far away, until there was only shaken bones and a splitting head, and one coherent thought:

    She's the most beautiful thing I ever seen.

    Katie and Calam spend the night in a hotel while waiting for the Deadwood Stage, and things unfold a little differently.

    Summary

    “Your neck port was damaged,” he said, “do you have a secondary port I could plug into?”

    Why the fuck would he want to plug into me like this? I couldn’t even form the question, just sent him ?

    “I can’t do anything to help unless I can connect to you,” he said. He didn’t sound annoyed. He sounded… worried, maybe? Unlikely. “Come on, Murderbot, help me help you. Any auxiliary port at all.”

    Summary

    “Is that… you, Viktor?”

    It was barely more than a whisper, but he almost couldn’t bring himself to ask in the first place. The question scared him, the coming answer he feared even more. He knew the question was callous and loaded, but he had to know.

    Those warm eyes faltered and became reproachful, they averted with a look of guilt, his eyebrows scrunching together. Viktor hugged his good knee tighter to his chest, his short and shallow breathing and his tightened lips betraying the hurt he felt at the question. The creases at the side of his nose deepened in dismay in the way only Viktor's face suited. All of these things told Jayce everything he needed desperately to know; this wasn’t the serene herald, or even the maniacal machine herald.

    This was Viktor.
