    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Summary

    Viktor is dying.

    This is nothing new. He’s been dying since he was born, since he took his first acrid lungful of Fissure air, and he accepted his premature expiration long ago. Everyone has to die anyways, right? All the Fissure had done was move up the finish line.

    That doesn’t make it any easier.

    ——

    Or, Viktor never tries Shimmer, and his death is the slow, painful erosion that everyone said it would be.

    Summary

    Every Victor Nikiforov fan has three things in common.
    1. They have unrealistic expectations for romance.
    2. They mark their calendars with the dates of his newest book releases and the premieres of his latest movie adaptations.
    3. They either passionately hate or love his greatest rival, a mysterious author whose pseudonym is only two letters: “KY.”

    Summary

    “I mean,” explains Adora, “We were friends for so long, and all that. Don’t you–” she swallows, “–don’t you miss me, too?”

    “You can’t miss someone sitting right across from you,” responds Catra. Adora can’t help but disagree.

    She looks at Catra expectantly, and after a pause, Catra lets out a long breath. “Fine, fine,” she says. “You’ve always been my favorite ghost, skeleton in the closet, whatever.” Adora frowns over at her. Catra shrugs, evidently unwilling to say anything else. Catra gives her another look that punctuates this, a look that says stop asking for more and Adora, folding her hands neatly, does as she's told.
