    Summary

    "I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.

    Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.

    An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

    Summary

    After Kim accepts a position at precinct 41, Harry offers him a place to stay a few nights a week to reduce his commute. The reality of it proves much more challenging than the idea. It seems impossible that they could ever contemplate living together, or does it?

    Summary

    In the perfect, unbroken quiet that follows the knocking, the rattling of her punctured lungs working to take a breath is almost deafening.
    “We see you.”
    She speaks low and grating, her voice buzzing with a thousand echoes, vibrating through the holes in her throat like something else is pushing air out of her.
    You have never felt as afraid as you do hearing that voice. If she still had an actual mouth to do it with, you’re sure she would be smiling.

    “So alone,” she rasps, and the thud of her palm against the door sends you lurching back in terror, and still she goes on, “You would never have to be alone, if you let us in.”
    Martin encounters the entity formerly known as Jane Prentiss. It doesn't go well.

    Summary

    I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.

     

    As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?

     

    Kind regards,
    New Manager

He finds shelter with Martin; an isolated and capricious lighthouse keeper who seems to relive the same moment every night. The two grow close as Jon works to untangle the effects of The Lonely on Martin, but the island itself is not so willing to let either of them go.

    Summary

    Her expression is wide open, thoughtful. His heart twinges sweetly at the sight of her lips, curled into a subdued version of her lopsided smile.
    Jack isn’t a poet.
    If he was, he’d be able to find better words to describe the way her hair burns against the slate-grey winter sky, dead branches threaded through it like dark, engorged veins. The subtle warmth of her body next to his, growing stronger every time their shoulders brush in passing. The white mist of her breath, thick and opaque like smoke.
    He wants to hold her hand.
    The next time their arms touch, he can feel the heat radiating from the back of her hands, curling around his wrist like a warning.
    He doesn’t reach out.

    It's too cold for a walk in the park. Jack doesn't actually mind.

    Sleep hasn't managed to wash away this new softness that Basira can't quite get used to, but it doesn't look as strange now. Daisy always looked gentler in her sleep.

    Summary

    «Does- does the ice cream taste haunted, to you?»
    Martin, for the second time this month, isn't completely certain about how he found himself in his current predicament, exactly.
    The predicament
    being, at the moment, the fact he's sitting down on a park bench, eating ice cream with his boss who maybe-kind-of doesn't hate him, actually. On Valentine's Day. And freezing his butt off in the process, because parks are not places to be in February. And also panicking, a little bit, because he might be almost, somewhat, a bit in love with said boss.
    Also, that isn't completely accurate, now that he thinks about it.

    They go on a date. Somehow, they have no idea it's a date.
