    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    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

    “It’s my birth control,” Viktor dismisses, simple, easy, but the look Jayce gives him makes his eyebrows furrow. It’s not upset, just confused. “What? We’re married. I moved in two weeks ago and this is the first time you’re seeing me take them?” Viktor puts the pill pack back into the drawer and looks at Jayce, “Unless you want a little Jayceling running around.” Viktor snorts, joking, but the way Jayce’s face flushes makes Viktor pause. “Oh my god you do.” Viktor huffs in exasperation

    Summary

    Jayce steps closer then, kissing the top of Viktor's head. His hair has gotten long enough that he'll ask for a haircut again soon.
    “I can show him,” Jayce says, carefully handing over the baby on his chest. “She's changed and fed, so she shouldn't be any trouble for you.”
    Viktor tucks Mena carefully into the sling he's taken to wearing across his chest, kissing her soft head. Jayce sits on the soft grass next to Viktor's rock, rolling up his pant legs. It's haphazard, the brace on his left leg keeping him from rolling to his knee as he'd like, but it'll do.

    Summary

    Viktor turns back to the window. The tree outside sways slightly in the wind. “I was just thinking about spring,” he says in lieu of moving like Jayce wants him to. He feels Jayce lean his weight against the sill.

    “What about spring?”

    Viktor gestures vaguely to his stomach, where the buttons of his shirt are starting to strain from the swell. “She’ll be born in spring, I suppose. If the midwife is right.”

    He feels Jayce still, just the slightest bit. “She?”

    “Ah…” Viktor hesitates, then shrugs. “No, I’m not sure yet. Just… feeling things out. I would love them either way.”

    Jayce’s hands find his, warm fingers curling over Viktor’s knuckles. “So would I,” he says, voice soft and reverent. “I can’t wait for spring to come.”

    A knot loosens in Viktor, and he exhales, something settling in his chest. He understands what Jayce means. I can’t wait to meet her.

    ---Jayce and Viktor's first child, and the first year of their life together.
