    Summary

    "We were so worried, we heard you—" Ragatha starts, and then looks up. She meets Jax's gaze dead-on, and goes silent. Tears brim in the corner of her eye. Her hand flies up to cover her mouth. He can't tell if the look on her face is relief or fear.

    Gangle's staring at him like she's seen a ghost. Pomni slowly raises to her feet, brows furrowed. She winces as every movement jars her wavering form.

    Cowered on the floor, panting, confused and disoriented, with everyone standing above him, taller than him… it reminds Jax of something deeply unpleasant. They're all staring at him. They're all seeing him.

    Jax knows they're not going to like what they see.

    His breath quickens until his head is spinning, and he feels like he's going to vomit. He forces himself upwards with a frustrated cry, swaying in place, and then turns and bolts towards his room as fast as he can.

    "NO!" Pomni screams.

    (or: pomni pulls jax back from the brink.)

    Summary

    Mark holds the truth nestled close to his heart, buried beside pearly white ribs, surely stitched into his sternum. He is thing with teeth, he knows. Cruel and ugly and monstrous. He binds himself, rightly so, holds the leash tight on his neck, self muzzled by the endless sky and sun and sand.
    ---
    Mark stays a bit too long in the desert. He still comes home.

    Summary

    Mark stumbles. But there’s no cups crushed underneath his feet, bottles rolling against the carpet. Only the fractured, still burning floor.
    ———

    Summary

    Conquest submits himself to a removal of destruction, the delight of bloodshed, drawn out in spite of flimsy, fragile bodies. He does not make himself a liar, nor is he the impatient youth of early, prickly years; if surrender assures his position, a mere break, it is one he willingly trades for the security of mentorship, of caretaking. He is a caretaker now. The word has yet to wring out all its warm, crackling pride, the star shining pool of light cast upon Conquest, glittering, glimmering.
    ———
    With Earth essentially taken hostage, Mark seeks to spare humanity by making Conquest see its worth—all the while Conquest guides Mark into being a true blooded Viltrumite.

    Or, Conquest thinks Mark is son-shaped.
