    Summary

    —Will you tell me a movie, Molina?
    —I don’t feel like it now. This one’s a downer.
    —Not that one. Will you tell me one… that… feels good?
    —That feels… oh.
    —God, what am I saying? Ignore me, I didn’t…
    —…I don’t know any movies like that.
    —Of course not. Forget it. Let’s just get some sleep.
    —I…
    —It’s fine.
    —I could… come up with one…

    Valentin can't sleep. Molina offers to help, in the way Molina knows best.

    Summary

    A distant part of Daniel is thinking that this is probably making his sinuses worse, maybe even permanently. The more immediate part of him is thinking I wish he’d go deep enough to fuck my brain.

    Summary

    Obviously, truth is stranger than fiction, and there’s always going to be edge cases in the real world, but for our purposes: just how realistic is Armand’s tragic backstory?

    Judging by the number of retweets/reblogs on this post and others like it, fannish opinion seems to be “not very”. But honestly? It’s not that far-fetched.

    Or: a fannish academic does a deep dive into the most controversial character in Daniel Molloy’s new novel.

    Summary

    GQ doesn't think about his mark much.

    He doesn't have to. It's standard procedure for ARGUS personnel, for all kinds of reasons—not least so a mark can't be used against an agent, so they can't be set up by a false match. Touching is all it takes to light a mark, yeah, and then the jig's up; but if somebody's close enough to touch your mark, they're also close enough to shove a knife between your ribs.

    So when GQ joined up, his got tattooed over. It was weird at first, looking down and seeing that thick black square on his forearm instead of the familiar faint gray pattern. It's like documents, GQ thinks sometimes, classified—blacked out. Redacted.

    (Or: GQ's mark isn't visible, and he assumes the mutant killer crocodile guy doesn't have one. Then Midway City happens to them, and everything changes.)

    Summary

    GQ's never had particularly high expectations, as a rule. He knew going in that this job was going to be pretty nasty, that the odds were good it was going to kill him—that he was supposed to keep his mouth shut and do what he was told, no matter how painful, potentially fatal, or downright fucking disgusting it was. And so far, he's done that; the part where Waller hasn't sent anybody to shoot him in the head from a thousand yards speaks to how good he's been at it, he likes to think.

    But, man, he was really, really, really hoping never to have to come back here again.
