    Summary

    He just wants to know peace.

    Since the first moment he opened his eyes and breathed, there was agony.
    As much of a constant as the void being cold, grass growing on dirt, and parkour being the backbone of civilization.

    Is it too much to want to know peace?

    (It is not. There is no price that won’t be paid for salvation.)

    Summary

    Maybe he had it good in season two, not binding himself to any team in particular, just him and one person he'd put all his trust in, and this season that might be Subz, or maybe, if not much, Branzy, but he's balancing on the edge by teaming, too.

    Clown has gone the other way around, and he really thought his person would be Branzy, huh.

    He's up for a disappointment, and Vitalasy is gonna serve it to him well.

    Summary

    A harsh expulsion of breath and consonants fans across his cheek. It takes him a moment to order the vowels into a word: Branzy. He turns, facing the man who uttered it.

    “Branzy,” Clown says again, more insistently. He's not laying down; Clown has never been so presumptuous as to sleep next to Branzy in Rek's bed, not without invitation. Instead, he's kneeling, one leg on the mattress and the other reaching for the floor. His hand hovers a few inches from Branzy's head. Two months is not enough time to erase uncertainty in the nighttime.

    “Sorry,” Branzy responds quietly. His voice is hoarse. “Was I shouting again?”

    Summary

    It starts like this: a window smashes, a jester soars through it, and Branzy screams.

    He can’t help it. Look, he’s new to this place, and despite all the warnings his old friends have given him, Branzy has never known when to glue his mouth shut. It’s worse when he’s caught off guard like this—a full-body scream escapes him before he can even think to can it. It doesn’t ground him, but it does draw the attention of the man that has just crash landed in his laboratory.

    Eyes that feel like beetles on Branzy’s skin give him a long once over. He doesn’t know how he can tell, since the jester is wearing the full getup, a sharp-tipped circus mask to boot. Those eyes, though. Branzy doesn’t need to see where they land to feel them.

    Summary

    Logically, Branzy knows he’s trekking down a horrible path, that addiction doesn’t start and end with substances. He’s not forgetful, not about Clown, and he remembers his warning that this life was dangerously alluring. Because rollercoasters must warn their riders, and beaches must warn their swimmers, and Clown must warn his Branzy. No one reads the signs by the rides, though, and no one decides against swimming because of the yellow flag out, and Branzy doesn’t want to get off this high.
