    Summary

    “Art.” Tim appears to be doing his best, with little subtlety, to keep Art from seeing into his apartment, holding the door mostly closed and angling his body to block the gap. “What can I do for you?”

    “Well…” Art begins, cautious. “This is a bit awkward, but I was hoping I could maybe borrow your couch for a day or two.”

     

    Or: Art spends a few nights on Tim's couch, learns a few things about a couple of his deputies, and misses the hell out of his wife.

    Summary

    Aaargh, summaries.

    Here is Paddy, returned to Arran once again, cultivating solitude. Here is the man who has Eoin's laughing eyes and his dark curls, who looks to Paddy as Eoin once did, but does not know Paddy's name. And here is the path home, rain drenched and windswept, sunlit under the clouds.

    Update 24/12/25:

    Added Afterword, for nasri , when Eoin writes to Ambrose and Ambrose sends a telegram back, DON'T MOVE INCH ARRIVING 16:30, so memorably illustrated (twice!) by spooky_action:

    DON’T MOVE INCH, ARRIVING 16:30
