Summary
Five years after losing her wife, Carol Sturka has built a quiet life by the coast: hands busy, heart carefully guarded, love poured into animals and things she can fix.

Summary
There wasn’t even a body to bury.
No body. No corpse to stuff and preserve and make pretty, to bury in a cemetery or a forest or in Carol’s backyard. Not even a carcass to incinerate on her own terms
Instead, only dust. And the memory of Helen’s twisted, smiling face as Carol thrust a piece of wood through her heart.

Summary
After only three months, they've done it: Manousos and Carol have found a way to cure the virus, or at least to dissolve that "psychic glue" that's binding everyone together and making them all smiley and accommodating all the time. Now they just have to test it.
And who better to try it out on than Carol's ex? Making Zosia an unwilling participant in their heroic science experiment seems like the best option, but maybe our heroes didn't think this one all the way through.

Summary
Manousous tunes the portable radio to 8.6130 KHz. He beckons Carol into the cage and seals the door. It does nothing for a little while. Carol feels the weight of impending failure ripening in her stomach. Then a fizzle. The four beats turn to static, and the radio cuts out intermittently. Carol cheers, whooping excitedly. Manousous startles, and Carol riles him up.
“This – oh my god, we did it!”
Manousous doesn’t understand her words. But he does understand her emotions. He feels them, himself. He grins, whooping simultaneously.

Deplurbed Zosia, because it's all my brain can think of recently, apparently. This is a write of what I think the process and aftermath would be. This will probably immediately become non canon-compliant the second s2 comes out, but we've got two years until then.
