    Summary

    There is a pain — so utter — / It swallows substance up — / Then covers the Abyss with Trance — / So Memory can step / Around — across — upon it — / As one within a Swoon — / Goes safely — where an open eye — / Would drop Him — Bone by Bone.
    Emily Dickinson


    Or, the mind and how it forgets.

    Summary

    Elsa looked up and saw a figure climbing up the nearest street light pole. Her eyes widened when she noticed that he swiped the large yellow bulb with one clawed hand, and just like that, the light went out. Jack jumped down, and within seconds, another light was smashed, and another, until the whole street was pitch black.

    Their only light came from the full moon above their heads.

    This monster was smart. You couldn't fight what you couldn't see. Elsa could hardly make out anything in front of her. Her entire body was trembling, shaking violently, in fear. She didn't know where he went, after the last light was put out.

    "Elsa…" said Marc from a little ways away.

    With jerking fingers, Elsa reached for her back pocket. Removing the Bloodstone, she held it up to the level of her face, and outward, to shed light in front of her.

    In the eerie red glow from the stone, she made out a form standing before her, and she knew her luck was running out.

    Summary

    Over the phone, it was easy to forget they weren’t one person. One could almost pretend Marc had an excitable British roommate. Layla didn’t pretend. But there was something very unsettling about standing in a room that had contained her husband one second ago, and suddenly contained someone wholly different.

    *
    This is a story about how Marc and Layla learn to fit Steven into their relationship, Steven learns what being in a relationship is all about, and definitely no one is hanging out with Khonshu on the sly.

    Summary

    “I guess—I guess he was not very much different than anyone else,” she says. She sounds like she’s talking about someone she knew in college, and not someone who she’d lead through the afterlife. “Five stages, and all that. I’d say he was a fighter.”

    Layla snorts.

    “Yeah,” she says, thinking of the way Marc’s fists make a clean line up his arm, body tense, stretched tight. The way he used to sleep like that, too. Wake up with an arm over his face, blocking invisible blows. “That sounds like him.”

    OR: In the space after saving the world and reconnecting with her once-missing, once-dead husband, Layla talks to Taweret about how death changes a person, and also how it doesn't. A snapshot of how Marc and Layla might begin to heal.

    Summary

    Now that they've been given separate bodies, Marc struggles with all it is that gave him the DID to begin with: the PTSD, the dissociation and depersonalization, the panic attacks, the triggers, the trauma, and the flashbacks he can’t switch out of reliving.

    Steven struggles to accept the pain and sufferings they have endured, yet remembers nothing of.

    Jake struggles to like or appreciate the separation, and hopes Marc and Steven never find out he's still working for Khonshu.

    Life's a bitch, but they make it work. Together. For each other.

    Summary

    Steven usually has the patience of a saint, but when he comes to for the third night in a row to a Coke in his hand and a half-eaten family-size bag of Oreos in front of him, he thinks maybe that patience is going to run thin on one Jake Lockley.

    The man is still largely elusive to him and Marc. He’s an arse, for one thing, always snapping at them and insulting them to varying degrees—especially that first time they properly encountered him. That had been a right mess, seeing as that was how they had subsequently learned that Jake was still working for the bloody pigeon.

    Summary

    “How the fuck do you know my name?” Dean hisses.

    The man doesn’t look scared. He is watching Dean like there is nothing else worth watching, lips a little parted, eyes a little soft. And blue. Real blue, like the ocean on a postcard.

    The ice spreading down Dean’s spine makes him shiver.

    “I suppose you could say I’m your guardian angel,” the man murmurs. His breath fogs pale between them. All of him is unnaturally warm, like Dean’s touching somebody with the sun sewn up beneath their skin. “I have known you, Dean Winchester, for a very long time.”

    *

    Dean meets an angel who says he's from the future. It all gets a lot more complicated from there.

    Summary

    There are three things to know about Steven Grant:

    1. He lives alone in a house that is constantly leaking, thanks to the rain that never stops.
    2. His only friend is called M. They have never met, but they talk online almost everyday.
    3. He has lucid dreams about the life he wishes he could have.

    (None of these are true. None of them are lies.)

    Summary

    At 30,000 feet, Marc, Steven, and Layla feel the weight of the unknown pulling them down to the ground.

    -

    "Are you okay?" she asks, and Marc can't find it in himself to say anything, to lie to her, so he just nods.

    He can't look at her right now. There's so much spinning in his head, in his stomach, a hurricane churning within him, full of the collateral of each and every one of his actions, all being thrown around the walls of his insides. Layla. Her father. How after the chaos of it all, she was inevitably going to come back to "You were there."

    And now, the newest piece of shrapnel in the whirlwind: "What the hell was that?"
