Summary
Ren’s voice is low and dull in his throat when he finally replies. “Too many nightmares, my dude. Me and sleep, we, uh, don’t get along very well.”
“Ah. Right. The death bit.”
“Not just— me dying. I mean, obviously, me dying, but…” He trails off into silence, staring out into the dark and cloudy night like it will snatch him up and devour him whole.(ren and martyn talk. neither of them says 'i love you,' and both of them mean it.)

Summary
“Martyn,” Ren whispers, and it’s somewhere between a question and a thank-you. “Welcome to... being dead, I guess.”
(or: martyn dies. renchanting duo talk. for the first time in a long time, things are... well, things are nice.)

Summary
“You love me,” he murmurs, the words catching in his throat. It’s not a question, not really, although his voice quavers enough that it’s only one step removed.
“Of course I love you,” says Martin, equal parts puzzlement and softness. “Have for a long time, actually.”
--
or: love confessions and cups of tea.

Summary
"Jon is sure that Martin’s asleep, because it’s late. Because Jon can hear the steady rise and fall of his breathing, even without looking. And so when Martin’s hand falls gently onto his shoulder, it has to be because he’s dreaming."
jon and martin are sharing a bed and trying very, very hard to pretend that they don't have feelings for one another. they fail miserably.

Summary
In the other room, Jon startles awake, his chest tight. Beholding loves his nightly dance through the relived fear of others, yes, but it feels a distress whose source is so much closer, so much more tangible, and the Ceaseless Watcher is hungry. And so, as Jon gasps in heavy breaths of the cold night air, he Knows with a dizzying rush that Martin is afraid, that Martin is Alone. He stands slowly, makes his way to where Martin is sleeping, and softly pushes the door open.
(martin may have been pulled out of the lonely, but he's not quite free of its emptiness and self-loathing. for his part, jon is extraordinarily bad at handling the messiness that comes alongside emotions. but they have each other, and perhaps that is enough.)

Summary
Molly takes care of Caleb because it's the right thing to do. Not because he has a crush or anything. Definitely not because Caleb looks gorgeous in his sleep. Nope, it's platonic feelings all the way down, for sure. (Molly is head over heels in love with Caleb.)
