Summary
“Hey,” V answered. His voice almost cracked, tight with wanting. He could hear his own blood thundering in his ears. The miniature projection of Kerry from shoulders-up flickered and then stabilized.
His eyes were no longer blue but so dark a brown they were almost black.
V thought of rivers flowing backwards in the middle of the night, of molasses dripping sluggish and heavy down the side of a cracked jar. Tarry oil pulled from deep in the earth. Hot asphalt under his bare feet. The rich, wet soil from his mother’s rooftop garden in the ‘50s. Sunlight filtering through a glass beer bottle.
Kerry smiled at him, so open and easy and warm that V’s heart caught in his throat, and the world flipped over on its axis.
—————
On wanting, and hurt, and healing. An exploration of V’s mourning for Jackie, his friendship with Johnny, and his eventual relationship with Kerry.

Summary
Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

Summary
“So, I’m to understand that you’re upset because — barring further daring heroics in the name of frontier medicine — you may only attain the average human lifespan?”
Julian inspects his own toes. “A bit, yes.”
After a moment, Garak says, conversationally: “The meteoric trajectory of your medical career may have to be compressed, I suppose. Carrington Award rescheduled for, what, forty-five or so? Admission to the Interplanetary Consortium of Physical Medicine bumped up to seventy? Now, don’t scoff, my dear Julian. If anyone can do it, it’s you.”
--
Julian's actions on Cardassia have bargained-for consequences, and Garak grapples with ghosts.Bookmarked by returningthescrew

Summary
Everything fucks in the spring, Marien had told them, cheerfully, from behind his huge bushy grey beard, the last time he'd come by with a load of wood for them—still invalids, in the eyes of the village, after their long black winter—and found them lying together in bed; but Eliot and Quentin, infuriatingly, mostly haven't.
