    Summary

    “You should hit me,” Vegas says.
    Even blind he knows he’s struck something, because the words hang like blood in the air. They snake back down his throat and settle in his lungs with a wet, heavy rightness that Vegas hasn’t felt all night. It would all be okay, he thinks, if Pete hit him. It wouldn’t remove him from his body; it would center him. And Pete’s fists can remold him better, punish him, free him from the filthy guilt-ridden jumble of what he is. They have before.
    Vegas lifts his cheek and braces his jaw to take the blow.

    Summary

    Still. There's no respite.

    The burning lash under his ribs, his arm a white-hot ache, a scream unsounded in the back of his throat—it unspools, infinite. He clings to the sharpness in his left hand. A single point of clarity he'd snarled at Pete for trying to take away. Pete's brows had furrowed but he'd retreated, palms up.

    He should know by now, Vegas makes an art of biting the hand that feeds him.

     

    In which Vegas and Pete grapple with living after the end.
