    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

    Silco, drugged and injured, stumbles into the first place he recognizes- the Last Drop. Vander, who assumed Silco was dead, sees this as a chance for reconciliation.
    Unfortunately, Silco does not feel the same way.

    Set three years after the Day of Ashes, so pre-canon but post-drowning.

    Summary

    He hadn’t gotten Vander a gift, because Vander was impossible when it came to gifts. Silco would ask him, and the answer would always be the same: I don’t want anything, Sil. Which was a damn lie, of course; he wanted a bar more than anything in the world, wanted to be able to quit working the mines even part-time, but that wasn’t within the realm of possibility yet.

    But Silco could give him something else he’d needed.

    Summary

    In a not so small town called Zaun, there’s a coffee shop that everyone knows. The Last Drop has been around for years and the owner is well known for his amazing coffee. Sometimes, after the shop is closed, one can see the lights are still on inside. If you take a peek, you’ll see the owner talking to a man with faint scars on his face wearing hospital scrubs. And while they don’t go around advertising it, everyone in town knows they’re pretty much married.

    Summary

    “Slapping me?” Vander slurred, and the grip on Silco’s hair tightened, mean enough that his scalp burned. It felt good. Silco struggled against him, pushed against his shoulder. “Like I’m some kind of dog?”

    “A dog would be better behaved,” Silco shot back, and that was what earned him the sock in the jaw that sent stars scattering across his vision and blood filling his mouth. He choked on it, coughed, splattering Vander’s face with flecks of spit and blood. “Case in point.”
