    Summary

    When Viktor finally asks why Jayce stayed behind inside the Anomaly with him, Jayce stares at him as though he’s supremely disappointed by the question— as if Viktor has betrayed his own brilliance by asking something so irredeemably stupid. “How could I not? We’re partners.”

    Partners, Jayce calls them. Not for the first time, Viktor wonders: Partners in what?

    *

    Or: Jayce and Viktor survive the Hexcore, a blizzard, their own bodies, sharing a bed and all the things they’re too afraid to say. Slowly, they put themselves back together— piece by stubborn piece.

    Summary

    The landscape outside the window of the Creel House changed on day.
    Henry just didn't expect to change with it.

    The first thing Will offers him is trust.
    The second is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that he made himself.
    The third is a drawing.
    And somewhere, hiding between all of those things, were pieces of his humanity he never thought he'd find again.

    (part of a series, but can be read as a one-shot)
