    Summary

    And when all is said and done, when there’s no more blood to wash your hands of, who do you still need to look in the eye? Who will look at you?
    When you’ve taken the flame of magic and put it out with your own fingers, whose home can you walk into, head tall?
    Diurnal ending (a choice of love, like any other) and what’s in the silence that follows.

    (added informative notes at the beginning about the deeply self-indulging nature of this work where i ask you to pretend i’m simply picking up where i’ve left off.)

    Summary

    “Burakh remembers the first time they had slept together (not like that, not yet); how they had tried to fit both of their selves side by side on Dankovsky’s single bed — how they had managed, somehow. He remembers the electric feeling of skin against his; how Daniil’s legs entwined with his like oaken roots, how the hairs on his arm brushed against him like hyphae. It’s that, then, now, for now; it’s something entirely different. They kiss now like carrion birds.”

    An invitation of Dankovsky’s to a gala celebrating the triumphs of modern medicine (and his new work recalling the common fight against the pest) makes its way to Town-on-Gorkhon. Him and Burakh quite missed each other.

    Summary

    “If you're so good, why are you still here? Why didn’t you go back with the army?” Sticky asked.

    Because Burakh said ‘stay’ that night in the Broken Heart, Daniil thought indignantly. Because Artemy Burakh is an impossible man to refuse.

     

    Daniil had lost everything. Artemy had gained more than he ever expected. They take things day by day.

    Summary

    “What?” Daniil demands, frowning. Without responding, Burakh reaches over to brush his fingers through Daniil’s hair.

    “You had leaves on you,” Burakh says, looking stupid and stunned in the dying sunlight.

    “Indeed,” says Daniil, feeling stupid and stunned himself.

    -

    For an intelligent person, Daniil is decidedly unobservant.
