    Summary

    Jayce wakes up after the arcane explosion, except- he is alone.

    Determined to find Viktor, he seeks shelter in what appears to be an abandoned house in the middle of a meadow.

    As the days and weeks go by, Jayce realizes, the house might be bigger than it seems (and Viktor might be closer that he thought).

    ----

    Or a post-finale fic inspired by House of Leaves, where Jayce is haunted by his mistakes and his desires.

    Summary

    Rust — Rust a fool — allows himself to imagine a world in which he turns. A world in which they solve this together, they grind it out and start thinking, really thinking, pavements and hard man-hours, answer to nobody but themselves, they solve it. Marty turns. Let this be that world — it’s the world of shit-all else, it’s the world where Rust wakes up wishing he hadn’t every fucking morning, the world in which he knows the sound a child’s bones, still soft, make under the wheels of an ‘84 Mercedes 230CE — let him have this, just this. Only this.

    Marty doesn’t turn. Marty mutters under his breath, “Sanctimonious prick,” and Marty leaves.

    They arrest Rust twenty-one days later.

    Summary

    In the glow of the lighter, watching it dissolve in the pit of the spoon, Rust’s profile is put together like something handsome drawn only from memory, the connective tissue slightly off, lines configuring without anything soft or warm in it. Marty wants to touch that cheekbone. Hit it, maybe. Find out if it’s really as unyielding as it looks.

    — the night after Ledoux, Marty and Rust each seek out a different sort of release.

    Summary

    They don’t talk, which, Marty usually got something to say when they’re eating, something idle about the news or sports or the weather, and that he ain’t talking means that he’s probably thinking about it too, the touch of his hand across the line of Rust’s ribs, the way that line is burning under Rust’s borrowed flannel.

    — 2012. a night, then a morning, then a night again.
