    Summary

    You pin his hands over his head, and breath escapes his lungs in a heavy, happy sigh. He’s had a couple drinks, not yet drunk, and he looks up with you with the terrifying lucidity of uninhibited desire. You straddle him and chase the taste of gin and cigarette smoke between his lips so you don’t have to see it.

    Summary

    [Each time he wakes, it’s for a little longer. The tide recedes, exposing dull pain, frayed nerve endings; offering split flesh up to an unrelenting sun. Sometimes Jean is there, in that chair by the bed, the shadows beneath his eyes sketched in blue, and in the moments between sleep and sleep again their eyes meet, and there’s a smile in there somewhere, just out of reach; there’s a desperate kindness lodged in the bloody meat of his chest like shards of something broken.

    (this is a place where people come to die.)]

     

    Kim is shot at the tribunal. Jean stays with him.

    Summary

    Set during a single night in maybe ‘53 or ‘54. Jean’s not doing good. Harry got injured wrapping up a case, just a concussion, but it’s an overnight stay at the lazareth. Jean’s doing bad. He asks Kim for a favor, expecting a firm no and lots of negative social and professional consequences, hoping for a no and violence.

    “Jean, I’m not going to shoot you.”
    “What, Harry teach you to read minds too?”
    “Nobody can read minds. You’ve been staring.”
    “Maybe I’m checking you out. Why are you still armed?”
    “You’re not checking me out. You know why I’m still armed.”
    “Because you’re a faggot and I’m your suicidal straight coworker who asked you to fuck me, and you don’t think I want you to fuck me, you think I want you to fucking shoot me. Which you’d have to because you can’t take me in a fight.”
    “Yes, very good. I like when we’re on the same page.”

    Summary

    Mydei knows, the way he knows the number of his fingers, the way he knows he cannot die; that of all feelings, wanting is the most fruitless.

    Summary

    At some point all Phainon was able to think about was Mydei's mouth, wet with blood, imagining the drag of it down Phainon's jugular, the heat of it against Phainon's lips—a sure sign of abundant blunt force trauma to the brain. Mydei spat in his eye, Phainon elbowed Mydei's windpipe, and so on and so forth. Then Phainon opened his mouth and said: "I bet you won't win against me this round," which Mydei replied: "With what?" and Phainon joked: "My dignity." Mydei's laugh was rough, feral. He said: "Deal."

    In which Phainon learns how to bite.
