    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

    Lance was fine, he was perfectly, amazingly, splendidly, fine.
    Yeah, he was stuck in a years-long losing battle against a colonizer army with a lifespan more than 5,000 times his own, with no way to get back home, where his entire family probably thought he was dead - probably had already held his funeral, already put his things in boxes, already said their final goodbyes and- yeah. Yeah. He was fine. He was kneeling on the floor with a training bot frozen in front of him at midnight - whatever that meant here - and he was fine.

    Lance needs support. Keith tries to provide it.

    Summary

    She had since understood the failings of the relationship — thought so, at least, but she didn’t know whether she put enough blame on herself or Yi-gyeong. In the end, she chose not to fault either of them in particular, but her feelings towards Yi-gyeong dwelled unresolved in the deepest depths of her heart. If we meet again, would I be able to say that I don’t hate you?

    A wingbeat brought her attention to a boulder splitting a current, where a grey bird with long wings perched. She couldn’t quite remember the name of the bird.

    Summary

    At first, Lance kept his promise. He left Earth and joined the rebellion. He called every week with that fake smile pasted on his face and a chuckle before saying that he was doing fine.

    Then he disappeared for three years.
