    Summary

    Exactly five years after their mission in Venice, Bruno and Leone travel to the scene of the crime to get some closure.

    Bruno is a bundle of nerves, happy to let Leone lead; Leone, ever so pragmatic and eager to prioritise Bruno, plans the trip almost down to the second.
    He has, as far as he can tell, every script he needs to get Bruno through the day, and Bruno has honed his skills in interpreting his language over the last six years — but in an echo of the mission, this is a lesson for both in weathering the unexpected.

    Summary

    This story takes place before the events of Vento Aureo. On a crisp autumn Sunday, Bruno Bucciarati heads to Posillipo to collect protection money from a famous bar where he himself often has breakfast, acting on behalf of Polpo. While carrying out his duties, two police officers enter the bar for a coffee, and from that moment, the magic of fate and superstition begins to wrap around two hearts.

    Summary

    Bruno wants Leone to take him up on his invitation to have breakfast together so badly, but he keeps avoiding the subject. It turns out Leone wants to see him just as much—he just needs a little help.

    (This was written for Februabba 2023, using the prompt for ‘space’ which was for February the 1st but it took me five days to finish this, whoops.)
