    Summary

    “Beauregard – you said she is outside?” Essek half-turns in the direction of the front door. “Should we invite her in?”

    It feels like there is something stuck in his throat. “In a moment. She is, ah – giving us some space.”

    Essek turns back to stare at him. Repeats quietly, dangerously, “Space.”

    Caleb forces himself to swallow. “Yes.”

    Essek’s attention is a palpable thing now, sharp like a knife’s edge against his cheek. “Explain.”

    One moment makes all the difference during the battle at Blumenthal. In the aftermath, the Nein grapple with what comes next.

    Summary

    Wulf takes the lead and dances him a few steps, tucks him into his chest and spins him loose, and Astrid is already on the other side of Bren, to take his hand delicately and carefully with her unbroken arm.

    “You have gotten better,” she says. She reaches out to brush his face, hand still covered in viscera. He pulls her long glove off with his teeth.

    After the gala, high on victory, it's all too easy to slip into one another.

    Summary

    Viktor had an undeniably strong moral compass. He didn’t condone violence, or inhumane acts for science, or war.
    It took 3 and a half months for Viktor to realize that Singed did not carry that same compass.

    Server rec-ed “chemistry changing” (Singed and Viktor backstory? Either avoid to prevent accidental plagiarism or read to get inspo… whatever that’s for later me to decide)

    Summary

    “What is there to understand?”

    “Why would someone willingly get rid of their emotions?”

    There are lots of reasons as to why someone would get rid of their emotions. Maybe they had met someone that made them feel special. That saw them for who they were and still loved them anyways. And then suddenly that person had betrayed them and their trust, so they had to leave the place they had come to call their home.

    And now years later all they did was wonder if any of it had ever truly been real. So in the end they had sought it best to rid themselves of those pesky emotions that seemed to plague them wherever they went.
