    Summary

    “Your son.” She finished, and Nathan could almost see it. She would be grasping to sit down, or clutching her heart as if it, too, would fail her. “You have a son?”

    After a moment, Nathan spoke. “Maybe?”

    “And you didn’t tell me?”

    “…No.” He collapsed into the desk chair, the old wheels squeaking and sliding underneath him. “I haven’t had him for that long, and he’s been having a hard time adjusting. I dont know, I’m just making up excuses.” He shook his head. “Are you mad?”

    She hummed, thinking for a moment. “How old is he?” Which wasn’t an answer, but.

    Nathan winced. “Uh, nine.”

    “Thats a long time to keep a kid a secret.”

     

    OR; Nathan tells a lie he is starting to get much too comfortable telling, and it leads him to taking Abaddon to Thanksgiving dinner

    Summary

    the sweet oblivion of the victim, the poisoned freedom of the witch.

    for one moment - it had felt like two parts returned - the needed reunion of two disparate halves. no more secrets, no more pain.

    the moment you get to give back what you never wanted to take. that moment, under the night-blooming flowers, when they had both let out the same single broken sigh of relief.

    but they were never whole to begin with, were they?

    qifrey swore he wouldn't say 'sorry' to this man any more if he could help it - sorry is cheap now. he didn't want to be in a position ever again where you only have 'sorry' left. so he just looks down into the threads of his blanket, strains his eye until it hurts, feeling his insides - his throat, heart and head - burn with pain. he expects more, but olly says nothing.

    olly says nothing.
