    Summary

    It’s the way Yor gazes at the floor that finally undoes him.

    That, and the warmth of her hand; a gesture so alarmingly simple, so frequently demanded - except of course she hadn’t - that he thought he would’ve surely, surely been inured to it by now.

    Now she blinks, clasping her purse a little tighter. Already he finds himself missing how her fingers had wound around his; that crushing grip nearly bone-breaking, and yet so unequivocally hers. And though he has the script perfectly rehearsed for situations like this, he’s speechless for once. Mute, even – especially when those eyes flicker up to him, waning into a smile he can only describe as heartbreakingly sad.

    Sadness, he decides then, doesn’t quite suit her.

    Summary

    Athena cannot get Odysseus off of the island, not yet. But she can weave him and his wife a little bit closer, intertwine them and their fates and their dreams just a little more—and perhaps that is enough.

    (or: dreamscape conversations and that little red string.)

    Summary

    “What are you carving?” a few of the children ask, the younger ones hiding behind the backs of their older, braver siblings.
    “I don’t know yet,” the king replies. “But I think it’s important.”

     

    Or: In which Odysseus amasses a small army of Ithacan children, a very large army of wooden soldiers, and the support system to heal just that little bit further.

    Summary

    He wonders if there is some truth to what Anya had said about Christmas magic—if perhaps it really did exist, weaving its invisible threads around him, rendering him devoid of intelligence or logic. He can’t explain it otherwise—whatever it is that makes his heart beat just a little faster as he speaks, whatever it is that compels him to put words to feelings that have been buried too long.

    or, Loid arrives home late on Christmas Eve to a sleepy (fake) wife, and he confronts feelings that won't remain buried.

    They’re getting ready to meet the Desmonds, an event which has been in the works for weeks and months and he’ll be damned if he fails tonight. And yet, and yet— she’s a sight to behold, in a strapless deep-red floor length dress, with matching eyeshadow which brings out the colour in her eyes.
    “Loid…”
    “Hm?”
    “Help me zip up?”

    It isn’t right, thinks Twilight. It can’t be correct, he surmises as he returns her smile and her greeting, that the sight of her brings such relief.

    Summary

    There’s nothing much about me to like.
    Loid would beg to differ. There was, in fact, a great deal about her to like, and he could easily back this with proof, based on conversations with a certain sibling and his personal observations. (And everyone knew his observational skills were second to none, though perhaps not his ability to process feelings.)

    "Do you dream?" she asks him.
    Sometimes he does; sometimes he thinks he’s dreaming when they’re together, her body pressed just so against him; when Anya has fallen asleep on his lap, and he remembers...that he is not dreaming.
    That he is right here, right now.

    Summary

    Twilight called to her softly, called again to stir her. She could only sigh.

    A hand slid from her back, up to her side, trailing to trace the curve of her face. Twilight hesitated. Yor pushed herself against him as if to feel for pressure, for validation that this warmth was his. The grip on his shirt loosened when she was sure that she had made it home. After a deep breath, Twilight stroked her jaw, coaxing her to spare him a look—just one—to know that all was right.

    All was not right.

    A wife in tatters.
