Summary
As soon as he's aware of Jayce's touch, Viktor jumps. Violently. It's enough force to push Jayce’s hand off and for him to drop his crutch.
Viktor hisses. Stumbling forward, he presses his hands against the chalkboard. He freezes for a moment, using the board to support his full weight. With a dusty white palm, he reaches behind himself. He wedges his knuckles to the base of his spine and a crease forms between his brows as pain radiates through his back.
“Shit, Viktor, I’m sorry,” Jayce quickly apologizes, his heart hammering. He leans down and grabs Viktor's crutch. It's weight is all too familiar.
Viktor shakes his head. “Not your fault,” he says with a huff. He removes his hand from his back and accepts his crutch from Jayce's grasp. Their fingers brush as Jayce gently pushes it into his palm. He's warm.
--------
A reluctant Viktor agrees to let Jayce help adjust his back brace. It was a situation he was never prepared to be in, and he can only control himself for so long.

Summary
“You aren’t supposed to be here,” he says, and he finds himself so close to tears that it shocks him, stripping away at the cold seeping through his body. “Nobody was. How did you even find me?”
James says, “Will.” He’s not unaware of the fact that James is slowly walking the both of them away from the ledge, retreating back towards the path. “Will,” James says again, like calling his name isn’t for Will but for himself.
In a house on the edge of the English countryside, Will waits for winter's oblivion to deal its hand. Always and of course, James follows.

Summary
Jayce learns the gesture from Vi — an Undercity custom meant to show affection, he thinks. He starts doing the forehead touch with Viktor without realising it’s something far more intimate than he ever imagined.
Viktor knows exactly what it means. And he says nothing.
Because for once, something warm and close and quietly tender is being offered to him, even if it's by mistake. And maybe… maybe he can have it, just for a little while.

Summary
“This doesn’t make sense to me. Clearly he’s bound to the House. In his long and immortal life, no matter how many times he ends up on the surface and lives there for a year or ten or a hundred or a thousand, eventually he will face a death and just come back down here. So what’s the point in helping him escape? Why can’t he just stay here? Is it that intolerable here? Are we that intolerable?”
Nyx is quiet as Thanatos catches his breath. He doesn’t need to breathe but there is a pressing feeling in his chest, a pressure that eases as he sucks in the still air. He keeps his eyes on the floor, unable to look at her.
“My dear child,” she says. “Your feelings for him run deep. Your anger is built on a foundation of love and friendship. Draw on that instead.”
“I can’t.” To his horror, he can feel his eyes prickle and burn. He swipes at them impatiently. “I can’t feel anything but anger.”
Years and years after Zagreus’s successful escape to the surface, an untimely and unexpected death brings him right back down to the underworld, and shatters Thanatos’s fragile truce with himself.

Summary
Wei Ying has a bit of a problem.
He hasn't seen Lan Zhan in 10 years, and now he's being asked to marry him.
Why?
Because apparently that's the only way to save not only Jiang Cheng's stupid ass but also the entire Jiang family business, which is unfortunately a very good reason for this very dumb idea.
