Summary
"Unfortunately, our progress has stalled out somewhat," Ikithon says, slowly circling the beacon on its stand. Under any other circumstances, that would be the thing that drew Essek's eye.
Instead, his gaze is fixed on the man sitting in a chair at the circle's center. A picture of misery, he is bound hand and foot to the chair with thick iron cuffs. His face is mottled with bruising, his rust colored hair hangs in limp, tangled clumps, and his clothes are torn and burnt. Wide, frightened eyes the color of daylight sky whip frantically back and forth between them.
Essek knows that face. He knows it all too well. Not two months ago, that face kissed him on the forehead and told him that he was still capable of good.
The bottom drops out of Essek's stomach. Please not him.
--------
After the peace talks at sea, Ikithon approaches Essek with an offer he can't refuse... But dearly wishes he could.

Summary
“I would like you to know me,” Caleb says.
It feels like a secret. Like the darkest part of him cracked open; all his months and years of hiding, of wrapping his arms and scratching the bindings, of not loving, not loving anything but an unkillable cat — it’s unraveling around him. He feels naked. He feels the way he did the first time Pumat Sol spelled him clean.
“I find that — I would like you to know me,” he says, again.

Summary
Mid-sentence, he realizes while trying to read if Viktor is upset or not that Viktor has been staring intently at his lips the whole time. After a moment of silence, Viktor finally notices that Jayce has stopped speaking and his cheeks flood with red.
Oh.
When Viktor’s eyes flick up to meet his, they look panicked, like he’s been caught.
(Or, a more fleshed out version of what I wrote on Tumblr based on some prompts.)

Summary
Viktor nearly flinches.
He cannot remember the last time someone touched him voluntarily.
He cannot remember the last time he wanted to be touched this desperately.
Jayce’s warm fingers trail down Viktor’s upper arm — humerus, Viktor’s mind corrects him mid-thought — as he pulls away and Viktor resists the urge to lean into Jayce’s touch.
Jayce and Viktor learn how to communicate intimately with each other in their respective languages. It takes longer than it should, but they get there eventually.

Summary
Jayce counts down the minutes as he listens to them talk about various professors and what "positions" they probably prefer. He’s mostly succeeding in blocking it out, until he’s jerked back into his body by the sound of one of the men saying Viktor’s name.
“Who?” A second one asks, “Oh—the one that works with Talis? Zaunite with the cane, right?”

Summary
He peers between the branches at the spiderweb, gently pushing some away to get a better view. He wonders what kind of spider it is, if he can catch a glimpse of it. There aren’t that many types in England, but--
Oh. He doesn’t spot the spider, but there’s something else trapped in the middle of the web. A large moth, its wings splayed helpless and immobile. As he watches, he sees its legs wriggle ineffectually in the air. It’s a surprisingly pitiful sight, making Martin’s heart unexpectedly wrench a bit for the poor thing.
-
Martin saves a moth from a spider. He doubts that this decision will have any sort of serious repurcussions.

Summary

They had taken his hand and dragged him out of hell.
It was only fitting for them to drag him right back into another.

Summary
Essek makes it to the external door, slamming it open with a gesture as he ducks through. Squinting in the sudden brightness, he pauses, staring around at the empty snow and waiting.
Waiting, and hoping, remembering his own failed attempts, the phantom pain that spasmed up his back and cramped his leg, that he had to breathe through to dissipate. Teleportation was risky. He had warned Caleb…
No. Caleb will be fine. They will all be fine.
They have to be fine.
———
Jester's divine intervention works guaranteeing them a safe teleport to Eiselcross, a conversation is had, and comfort is found. An alternative end to C2E128 - Cat and Mouse.
