    Summary

    Resources, though abundant now, would inevitably run out. The plague had taught this to Daniil. A lesson he would have never learned in the Capital, for better or worse. Abundance had come to the town in the plague's aftermath, but he couldn't seem to accept it. All he could see was lack.

    But there were theories of another way to care for the sick and suffering. No pills. No morphine. Research pursued to determine the true power of persuasion, of the voice over the mind. With his guilt looming over him, the strange technique of hypnotism intrigues Daniil.

    And anything that intrigues Daniil, intrigues Artemy.

    Summary

    “I don’t know if you’ve used my mirror, but you haven’t gotten any prettier in the past hour, Burakh,” Dankovsky says, sounding strained. “Stay and get your rest, or I’ll have to contend with having you on my conscience when they inevitably mug you on the street—”

    “You might need to lower your expectations,” Artemy interrupts. “This is how I look. And your mirror is in pieces, by the way, have you not noticed smashing it?”

    Daniil smiles—it’s not a pleasant smile by far. “Stay,” he instructs, almost condescendingly. “And take your rest.”

    Well, two can play this game.

    Artemy parries back, “And what about you?”

    [Or: one night at Stillwater; glimpsed from two different mirror-sides.]

    Summary

    They separate, and Arthur gets his eyes back. Everything they've ever wanted, they've achieved. But John seems to be withering, spending sleepless nights pacing around their shared apartment, avoiding Arthur and—the strangest of it all—making a deliberate effort to never as much as bump shoulders.

    Or: John and his relationship with physical touch, in Arthur's body and in his own.

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”
