    Summary

    And so, much as Neuvillette himself prefers the deep and the dark, that is not where he himself most often resides. It most naturally follows that he would happy to see Wriothesley spend more of his days in this world of sky and sun.

    Wriothesley buys a house.

    Neuvillette helps him warm it.

    Summary

    Sunday sits, and he listens to the Dreammaster’s instructions and teachings, and he writes every word down.

    It makes him feel good. He sits and scrawls, hoping his God is talking somewhere to someone and reading his frantic scribbles. He hopes that the Order might provide him the feeling of peace that he’s come to crave, and in time, it does. The world makes more sense when it is given Order, kept in line by the watchful eye of all things logical and perfectly in place.

    This, surely, is the feeling he has been looking for his entire life. Finally, he knows the peace so many have spoken of. He finds it in perfection, in order, in symmetry. But behind the peace of finally belonging, Sunday still feels the watchful gaze of the Harmony, all of Their many faces turned towards him, judging his every action.

    Summary

    “You’re not a bird, Sunday,” Mr Yang breaks the silence. Sunday’s eyes flick to him just in time to see him shake his head, his brow furrowed. “Nor are you flightless.”

    “Aren’t I?” he retorts. It’s too late to back out now that he’s started the conversation, now that he’s laying himself bare in front of the one person he respects most on this train. “What is it that differentiates me from an injured dove, Mr. Yang? My body might be fine, but to say the same of my mind –”

    “You’re not an injured dove either,” Mr. Yang cuts in, firm. Final. His gaze lifts from the tea, eyes blazing with something Sunday can’t name. “And even if you were, you would’ve gotten better with help.”

    Or: Five times Sunday floundered while trying to find his place on the Astral Express and the one time he felt right at home.

    Summary

    After being assigned his room on the Astral Express, the first thing Sunday does is remove his halo.

    Penance is a long journey, one made arduous by the unpredictability of his new hosts. Perhaps his ultimate repentance will come after he learns to embrace disorder, but the current him is incapable of doing such. The Astral Express has no interest in being his new captors, but Sunday has lived his whole life in a cage.

    Perhaps chaos is exactly what he needs to find absolution.

    Merry Sundaymas!
