    Summary

    There was something else, too. The softest hush-hush rustle of fabric. The barest creak of muscle. And then, an exhale. A heartbeat that seemed, for a moment, to reverberate through the city itself, that broke her unbearable waiting, that filled her chest and brought her to waking…

    Clark opened his eyes, staring up into the darkness.

    There was nothing there. But a moment ago, there had been. And, whatever it was, it had been watching him.

    "You're real," he whispered to the night.

    A series of strange murders. A vengeful protector, cloaked in shadow. A city that breathes and lives and watches. Clark Kent can sense Gotham's hostility from the moment he crosses its border — but its currents pull him closer to its mysteries, and the deeper his investigations go, the more he begins to belong...

    Summary

    One day, in spring, he comes to the Inn.

    Hob looks up and he’s there, and the relief is blinding. He thinks tu m’as manqué, fuck, because you were missing from me feels more true than I missed you ever has. English missing was ruined for him the moment he learned the French way of it. Longing is meant to be a reflexive verb.

    It would be a bad faith translation, even for him. He tells himself this is why he doesn’t say it.

    He thinks at last, and that’s a doable one. So he smiles, says, “You’re late.”

    Summary

    I met him in moonlight; first-met by starlight
    He fled me and fought me; and chasing I fell.
    I met him, I matched him; astonished I watched him
    Unarmed, unhanded; and bested so well.
