    Summary

    She survives, and she survives because she loves the fight. She loves the feeling of knowing she’s alive still. That it hasn’t taken her yet. That it hasn’t killed her yet. Feeling the adrenaline, every sense heighted from fear, knowing that just one wrong step will end it all and deliberately mapping out those wrong steps so she can avoid them.

    Injuries, she supposes, are the spoils of victory.

    Summary

    Behrad is the only one whose orbit seems to overlap, naturally, with Gwyn's own. It's not uncommon for them to cross paths early in the day. There's no view out of the windows, no sun to rise or set, but when Gwyn's watch reads six o'clock the light through the kitchen window is grey-blue the way it always is at dawn and that's when he tends to see Behrad the most.

    Summary

    "I want," he says, moving back, looking straight at him, making sure that he makes his point and trying to sound like he knows what the fuck he's doing here, "to know you give a shit, and I happen to know you well enough to not expect anything more than what you're willing to give me. As long as you don't take me for granted."

    He hears Damon's sharp intake of breath again as his lips part and looks up at him like no one's ever fucking told him that, and for what he knows either no one has or the last time was a long time ago.

    "So," he goes on, putting a couple of fingers on Damon's kiss-swollen lips, "I'll take your sorry-ass apologies because you meant it, and I'll take the next one because I know you will, and maybe in the next ten years I'll get a proper one out of you, but it's all right. I don't need it now. Or until that's how it comes to you. Now, I'd like to put it behind us, so let's just say that's done and over. You want me to -"

    "Yes," Damon interrupts him at once, leaning up into his hand.

     

    Or: in which both Damon and Alaric have a shitload of issues they'd rather not talk about. They make it work differently.
