    Summary

    “I felt you twitch when he came in,” Jon replies derisively.
    “Yeah, well, I felt you clench, so. Glass houses,” Tim counters. “It caught me off guard, is all. He’s never walked in on us before.”
    Leaning his head back against Tim’s shoulder, Jon closes his eyes for a moment. “I know,” he says, his voice softened somewhat. “It shouldn’t be a thing, though, if this is going to work. Right?”
    Tim nods, his cheek rubbing against Jon’s hair, his arms tightening around Jon’s waist. “That’s very reasonable of you,” he commends him, half joking. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re on your way to becoming downright easygoing.”

    Summary

    And taxes? The phrase echoes inside Jon’s mind and suddenly the pieces click together. He remembers the words in Gertrude's voice. Taxes, I imagine, will continue. His eyes widen. Alexander Scaplehorn isn’t a Fear avatar.

    "You’re a… tax collector."

    In the post-change world, Jon and Martin enter the domain of Alexander Scaplehorn and learn that Gertrude had imagined right all along.

    (Elias, on the other hand, had not accounted for this at all)

    Summary

    “What do you want?” Jon demanded again. Was it really so much to ask, that he could simply understand? Was it? “What are you doing here, talking to me? What do you want from me, Martin?”

    He almost shouted the last part, making Martin flinch slightly and raise his hands in defence.

    “Jesus, Jon! You want to know? Honestly? Fine. Here’s what I want, right now, in this moment. I want to fucking pick you up and carry you into my flat and tie you up with rope so that you can just bloody rest for a few hours. I’ve got rope, did you know that? Yeah. It’s not because I’m evil, though. It’s because sometimes I just like to tie people up. You know, as a sex thing. Or not a sex thing, that’s cool too. I’d tie you up, Jon, and I’d feed you good food, and I’d make you lie down and sleep for a whole night, and then maybe you’d wake up and you’d be able to bloody think straight!”

    *

    Or, Jon decides he might as well let Martin tie him up. It turns out a lot nicer than he’s expecting.

    Summary

    Contrary to what many may think, Valentine's day was a big holiday in his family. Besides weddings and funerals it was the only other celebration that they implemented. Not that as a child he got to understand what the purpose of it was, he only saw the consequences of relatives looking more morose and the house being colder than what he could remember.

    His siblings always stayed away when the adults had their dinners and Peter generally speaking was of the same idea, however, once he was a bit older and he was introduced to the concept of their patron, he took on watching those cold lifeless dinners with rapt interest.

    He wouldn't really see the way it was normally celebrated until he was out for college.

    Summary

    It wasn't intentional.

    It never is.

    Peter leaves. Elias watches him go and the ache that lingers in that growing distance settles first like smoke.
