    Summary

    “Francis?”
    He is at a loss for words. Evidently, Fitzjames never is, because he follows it with “Captain Crozier?”, which stings far more than it ought to.
    “Hello, James,” Francis finally croaks. The sounds of hello already feel foreign as his mouth attempts to round them out; but he would be remiss to forget the James that follows afterwards, all narrow two-sylabillic noises, a wiry name for the man it describes.

    or: in which everything Francis Crozier has ever loved finds its way back to him.

    Summary

    It was a dark and stormy night when both doors of Taco Bell blew open with a dramatic bang the likes of which James Fitzjames could only aspire to one day achieve. This was followed by a beautiful specimen of a polar bear? trodding through.
    “I have come for your penis,” it - Tuunbaq - growled.
    “That’s kind of gay,” James replied, thoroughly unimpressed.

    or: in which James Fitzjames gets gender-affirming surgery, courtesy of Tuunbaq at the only Taco Bell on King William Land.

    Summary

    "If I had known things would turn out this way, I would have been a watchmaker."
    Vill-V has never said it aloud and she does not plan to. After all, important things are felt, not said; and the smooth feel of glass and metal against her palm is feeling enough. It's a bit disconcerting that she can't feel the coolness anymore, even if she can remember it; the memory is a ghost of a bygone life before the MANTIS surgery - except she doesn't like to dwell on that thought either. 

    or: in which Vill-V and her watch are inseperable - even if Vill-V hates to remember that which her watch represents.

    Summary

    And Octavius's got that distant look in his eyes. Jedediah remembers - it's the same look he had when they'd stumbled, one foot in front of the other, leaning on each other as they fought their way back to the museum after crashing into snow taller than themselves; the same look when Jedediah had tumbled out of the hourglass, seconds away from death, and then again when he'd enveloped Octavius in a bone-crushing hug, too giddy from their victory to really process the bursting ache in his heart; and then, when they'd said their final goodbyes, quiet words and half-hidden feelings even while alone in a museum so accustomed to life.
    And damn him, because when Jedediah thinks about it like that, he must be crazier than a bessie bug to have not realized it earlier.

    or: in which Jedediah gets darted - and it turns out to be quite the enlightening experience.

    Summary

    Kevin Kaslana is crying. He’s sobbing, actually – and Vill-V bites down laughter.
    They’re all crying, she notices, once she pulls herself out of a daze; she, as in the original her, the Helix itself, although nobody else really notices enough to care about which personality dominates the body on any particular day.

    or: in which the Final Banquet happens, and Vill-V contemplates her life.
