    Summary

    It's a rhythm, at this point, of how the two interact with one another. A game of guessing, a tango of their body language.

    Today isn't an exception.

    When Tim arrives home close to tears and earlier than expected, Jon knows not to prod.

    OR

    Tim gets dumped, and Jon is left to deal with the fallout. Not that he minds.

    Summary

    It started with a Hawaiian shirt: a burnt orange sunset-y colour, covered with white gardenia blooms and subtle, gently looming silhouettes of palm trees.

    The shirt was nice, with fabric that had a weightlessness to it, shifting every so often, almost as if it had been stirred by an ocean breeze. Its colours were bright in a peaceful way, not a headache-inducing one.

    No, it wasn’t the shirt with which Jon took issue.

    Rather, it was the context of the situation through which the shirt had appeared in the Archives, and specifically the attitude of its wearer, that had Jon crossing his arms and sporting his first scowl of the day.

     

    In which Tim is determined to have a relaxing Beach Day in the Archives, Jon is strongly opposed, Martin deserves a break, and Sasha makes the drinks.

    Summary

    Tommy doesn't know why these humans have kidnapped him, but it can't be for anything good.

    There's no reasoning with humans. They're cruel and confusing and chatter in incomprehensible tones.

    Tommy doesn't know what they want with him. He doesn't know that the ice caps far in the north have been melting. Nor does he know that they've thawed out something that was never meant to be thawed.

    Tommy doesn't know any of this. He just wants these humans to let him go.

    Summary

    The world is ending.

    Ever since that boat came through, trailing the sickness behind it like an octopus releasing ink. The iridescent slime that looked so pretty when it first arrived. The three of them gazed at it in wonder on the water’s surface, hypnotized by the way its colors shifted faster than a cuttlefish and its silvery metallic appearance. Just like one of the human boats.

    Wil swam through it on a dare. They all laughed as he darted in headfirst.

    That was until he emerged on the other side, heaving and clawing at his gills in pain.

    And that was only the beginning.

    It spread its tendrils further into the water and their home turned into hell.

    Summary

    He kneels, and the priest gives him the orb and scepter of his father, and his father before him, and his father before him.

    “I am the horizon, the rising and setting sun,” he stands tall on both legs now, sun glinting through his hair, hands gripping the scepter and orb tightly. “If I say the night is day, then so be it.”

    “Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”
