    Summary

    “You don’t mean it,” Caitlyn replied, and Vi’s expression changed from - she didn’t know what. She was too drunk, and too woozy, and too filled with feeling to unpack or process or do anything but react. Vi’s face contorted from something into confusion, hesitation.

    “I don’t?” Vi asked, and it was the right thing to say, because it allowed Caitlyn to cling onto her devices and push her narrative. It was the wrong thing to say, because it slowly crushed the hope that had built in Caitlyn’s chest.

    “You don’t,” Caitlyn continued, “Vi, you can’t.”

    "Why not?" was the reply.

    --

    When Vi makes a surprising confession, Caitlyn isn't expecting the avalanche of feelings it causes. But when she thinks back, looks at a lifetime of friendship, she starts to see the blast points that caused it.

    Summary

    Petunia's eyes quickly found one cluster towards the back of the room. Three desks, two computers, one employee. A short, grumpy looking man buried in both his work and in a forest green cardigan. Another worker walked by and attempted to pick up a book the man was looking at and nearly got her head bitten off.

    Thank God, she thought, a prickly, antisocial asshole.

     

    Tim meets Jon, gets drunk, explores his gender, gets drunk a bit more, discovers something about himself, cuts his hair, and fall in love.

    Summary

    “Tell me you love me,” Jon murmurs, shame pooling heavy in his gut, so much sickening guilt holding him down like a physical weight in his body. He doesn’t look away from Tim’s eyes. He doesn’t grant himself that reprieve.
    It used to be that when he needed lifting up, Tim’s jokes could pull him from his gloomiest moods. When Jon felt bogged down, his mind like the heavy burden of sopping clothes in an unexpected rain, Tim’s voice was a balloon tied to his wrist by a string, carrying him above the clouds. Jon remembers it with a sick feeling in his chest, like something twisting until it breaks.

    Summary

    “Martin,” he asks, tentative, “do you know how to ride a bike?”

    “Mm, no,” Martin says absently from where he’s doing the dishes. “Never really got around to it. Why?”

    “Oh, just wondering,” Jon says, unsure why he feels so relieved. “Er. I don’t, either.”

    --

    Jon teaches himself to ride a bicycle.

    Summary

    'This is so selfish,’ Tim is murmuring, breath warm through the hair on the back of Jon’s neck.  It’s four AM in Bromley and it’s raining quietly. 'Being here with you.'

     

    What if they'd known before the unknowing that the archivist dying would free the rest of the assistants from the eye?
