Summary
There’s no problem at all with a fun fling while working the summer Renaissance Faire, so long as the following unspoken rules are followed:
1: Don’t fall too fast
2: Don’t figure out that you are fucking your future research partner“Caitlyn, our new blacksmith needs proper garb before the gates open in the morning. Would you please show him to his site and introduce him to my darling tailor? It would seem he’s set up just across the lane from Jayce’s smithy.”
Mel Medarda smiles.
“Please inform Viktor that he can thank me later.”
Jayce and Viktor have a couple problems.

Summary
Jayce pauses to steady himself on the wall, he’s running out of strength in his arms. The other version of Viktor, the lonely mage who’d insisted there was only one, violent solution to the problem of himself, had reluctantly given him a tip. Physical touch , he had said, will temporarily disarm him. But you must kill him from a distance, do not let him get close.
***
Jayce loses his will to kill Viktor in the commune and has to come up with a plan B.

Summary
Will groans.
Of course his dumb ass slept through the evening. Of course he now has to drag himself awake and walk, in the blistering, nose-numbing frost (it’s sixty degrees, Solace) across camp, dodging feral harpy attacks (Apollo kids have harpy immunity, William), and trudging into his sad, small, lonely bed (gods above you are your father’s son) where he will of course be fully awake by the time he gets there. God really does give his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers. (You’re an atheist, William Andrew.)
“Why me,” he laments, refusing to move from his boyfriend’s lap. Perhaps he will simply wither here, warm, satisfied, and more importantly away from little siblings who will not stop squabbling even when their long-suffering older brother looks longingly and pointedly at a bottle of cyanide.
Nico snorts. “Because the gods are punishing you for your crimes.”
“I have committed no crimes! This is unjust! Partisan! I am Hester Prynne and she is me —”
“Your mother is going to hell for teaching you literacy.”
“Defamation and libel!”
“Shut up, Will, gods —”

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.
