Summary
He remembered feeling content, strangely…happy. That itself was a bit unsettling. A dream, but it felt more like a memory, or perhaps a hallucination. Maybe he was in the middle of a long-overdue nervous breakdown.

Summary
Essek's heart jumped. Making him a comforting meal was a sweet gesture, but having Molly bring it to him while he laid in bed like, a- a spoiled prince,....It would be terribly selfish of him to accept that, wouldn't it? Cheeks and ears burning, he tried to protest. But, Molly just shushed and tutted away his objections. In the blink of an eye, he found himself tucked into bed resting against a mound of pillows.
-----Essek comes down with a fever. He doesn't want to take too much, but Molly is having none of it.

Summary
“This isn’t a joke,” said Georgie. “Those woods are dangerous, and you know it.”
“You can’t honestly buy into that,” said Jon, straightening out his back to face her. “They’re just woods, it’ll be fine. I’ll take the main road back – they’re patrolled enough at night that I shouldn’t run into any – ” he punctuated his sentence with a small flutter of his hands. “I’ll be fine, honest.”
“This isn’t like your stories, Jon,” she said, her arms crossing over her chest. “You could get hurt, or worse.”
“Like cursed?”A shortcut through the Black Woods has Jon stumbling into the path of Martin, who dresses in odd clothes, and keeps strangers hobbies.

Summary
When Sasha had told him she was certain Jon and Martin were going to do something stupid, Tim’s initial response had been to roll his eyes and mutter, “What’s new?” Because if nothing else, the past few weeks had proven they were the dumbest pair of intellectuals he’d ever met. It wasn’t a surprise that Jon - serious, skeptical, determined Jon - was incorrigibly impulsive and prone to somehow always choosing the wrong move to make; Tim had seen plenty of that back in their days in Research, usually when whatever statement they were working on involved a Leitner.
It was far more surprising that Martin was a dirty enabler.
OR, a tale in which Tim interrupts a poorly planned attempt at a stake-out and causes chaos, as is his due right.

Summary
After what feels like the longest silence of Martin’s life, Jon adds, “Would you like to have another birthday?”
This question is so unexpected that it does manage to pull Martin out of his spiral. “Like, next year, or…?”
“No, I, ah… Today.”
“Today?”
***
On the drive from London to Scotland, Martin realises that whilst working with Peter Lukas, he completely missed his birthday. Jon decides that they should celebrate there and then.
