Summary
“Sutures,” Daniil tells him sharply. His hand isn't moving, staying still between Artemy’s leg like the worst kind of tease. “If you move too much, they’re going to tear, and I’m telling you this: I will not lay with a bleeding man. Do you understand?”
The threat leaves him at a crossroads; he can choose to argue, which he knows would be stupid, because Daniil doesn't do empty threats. On the other hand, not arguing would feel like giving in, and Artemy doesn’t like giving in.
So he settles for a middle ground, which is sourly saying, “if I’m not allowed to move, how are you thinking this will happen?”
“I’ll show you,” Daniil tells him calmly, “but only if you do what I tell you.”
“That sounds an awful lot like blackmail,” Artemy points out. His bedpartner laughs, and now he’s confused, if intrigued.
“Oh, dear Haruspex.” It’s a sigh, spoken against his ear as Dankovsky leans in close, and if the shivers weren’t enough to keep him silent, the nickname surely is. He only thinks he’s called him that once before, and it was when he was trying to make the hardest decision in his life. The contrast is stark, and it takes him out of himself for a moment. “I think there is a lot you could learn.”

Summary
He thinks about what a fucking miracle it is that he’s still alive, and his chest tightens again.
The problem with survival isn’t the here and now, Artemy is beginning to realise; that’s easy. Here and now, what matters is taking another breath, is pushing through whatever is happening into the next moment. Doing what you need to get done when your life is on the line and, by proxy, the lives of countless others, isn’t the hardest part.
That is what comes after, when you’re no longer gasping for air, when there are no longer singular moments to gather your thoughts but an endless stretch of time ahead of you with no more looming disaster to take your mind off of the future.
Now, that’s where he finds himself; in the future, inside that vague notion of hope he was clinging to for weeks as he sprinted across town, plague clouds chasing his heels, herbs and bottles and raw human organs jostling around in his medic bag, dead bodies left in his wake. The whole time, the future was on his mind, getting himself and his children and his friends to it, and now it’s here and he doesn’t know what to do when he’s stopped running.

Summary
“Relax,” Artemy tells him.
Dankovsky’s body obeys before his mind does. In fact, it had as soon as Artemy touched him.
“Do you get headaches often?”
Dankovsky grunts. “Don’t waste your diagnostics on me. There’s a plague.”

Summary
“You’re goin’ down fast.”
“No shit,” Soap starts working his vest off, the weight of it too much on his overstimulated skin. “Reactionary heat’s are a bitch. Gonna be droolin’ and beggin’ for cock in about an hour, I reckon.”
“Christ, Johnny.” The truck doesn’t swerve but there’s a definite jerk and Ghost glares over at him. “Kiss your mum with that mouth?”
