    Summary

    John and Arthur struggle to navigate a world where they aren't actively fighting for their lives. A world where they don't get to talk openly like they are so used to. In a quiet moment in the corner of a hotel lobby, they find themselves at a piano, and finally have a moment to be together.

    Summary

    Larson and Addison share a special little song, something for just the two of them. But when all is said and done, it becomes more of a shadow on Larson's consciousness than anything else.

    ________________

    “Maybe not” Arthur interrupts John to keep him from despairing. “But that doesn’t mean Kayne gets to dictate how we think about any of this. We destroyed that stone. We defeated him. And we saved everything that matters to us.”

     

    Hm, John hums, not quite convinced yet. Arthur refuses to let it dictate their thoughts any longer. He traces the scar’s shape with John now, slow and steady. As if cutting the throat with their tenderness.

     
    “This scar….it’s here because I love you” he reminds John of its nuance. The day he inflicted it on himself, desperate to save him from the king. Their promise that if it really came down to it, they’d rather die together than be split apart. And that is just the thing.

     
    Kayne tried to drive a wedge between them. Again and again. Hoping to leave his mark on him. Hoping to make a difference about that choice.
    About their love for each other.
     

    Never.

    Summary

    The thing about wagers is that sometimes—only sometimes!—you lose.

    And Kayne is totally fine with that. Really. Really really. That’s the name of the game, baby, and if you put maybe thirty or so odd years into winning a particular wager that would have made you a god of gods and maybe finally scratched that itch inside of you, and then lose it, well, that’s just too bad.

    Good thing Kayne, as always, has a plan.
