    Summary

    Jiang Cheng stares at him. “Didn’t you say you broke up five months ago?”

    “Yeah.”

    “So why do you have a picture of you two kissing taped to your fridge?”

    “Because we’re too broke for magnets,” Wei Wuxian explains, then considers that statement. “Well, I’m too broke for magnets. Lan Zhan probably refuses to buy them because he’s trying to have lofty ideas about the moral failings of materialism.”

    Wei Wuxian navigates the trials of living with his ex-boyfriend in apartment 1301.

    Summary

    It starts raining in thin, steady sheets as River steps down from the train. The email had not been overflowing with information: pack for all weathers, no mobile phones, date and time of departure, board Paddington, change Newport, final stop Ludlow, wait. It had also told him not to be followed.

    River endures assault courses, psychological torment and bad food at MI5 residential training, with only James 'Spider' Webb to cheer him up. He's fucked.

    Written for the Slow Horses Big Bang 2025.

    Summary

    “Fuck you, I know we aren’t friends. I know that now, and I probably always knew. I mean, you never even liked me.”

    “I like you, River,” he tells the other man.

    “Just not enough.”

    “Just not more. Not more than the chance she offered me. But that’s all down the drain now, so–” James hopes he can leave it at that, though River isn’t budging.

    Part 1: He almost dies. Again. Because three time’s the charm. But one thing becomes abundantly clear– James “Spider” Webb knows something he isn’t supposed to. Normally, the prospect of someone wanting to kill Spider would have River cheering them on, but this time it’s different. The issue uncovers a conspiracy MI5 would rather sweep under the rug, because some things never change. Except when they do.

    Part 2: After a tumultuous run in with life, fate, and River Cartwright, James Webb finds himself permanently stationed at Slough House. Things are going alright, until two elderly citizens turn up dead, connected by a mysterious thread. On their way to the truth, both men uncover old secrets and grievances. Not just about the dead.
