Summary
“We were just discussing our quarry for today. Have you ever met the Beast of the Northern Forest?”
“No,” Jon replies. The title does register as somehow familiar in his mind, but he immediately buries the feeling. The last thing he needs is a personal connection to today’s victim.
“You were still very young during the last social season, I suppose,” Elias says. Jon doesn’t respond to the comment, doesn’t allow himself to feel anything about it. Elias continues, “He’s a coveted prize among hunters. Many members of the guild, myself included, have been trying to trap him for years, with no luck. He’s very—”
Jon stops listening.

and he sees dawn before the rest of the world by IceEckos12

Summary
“Thanks for waiting with us,” Georgie said, smiling beatifically up at him. Passed out on her shoulder, Melanie let out a drunken snuffle and curled over, like she was thinking of climbing through the spaces of Georgie’s ribcage and sleeping in her chest cavity forever.
“Not a problem,” Martin replied, scratching the back of his neck.
To be honest, waiting with her was as much for his benefit as theirs. At first, he’d thought it was just stress; now, he was very sure that something was wrong. It wasn’t anything specific, or even bad; more like there was a sepia camera filter tinting the world dusty and nostalgic.
After his third drink, he’d looked into Tim’s laughing face and thought he might burst into tears. And he still didn’t know what Sasha was supposed to look like.

Summary
"Jon, this isn't—you know you're awake right now, right?"
Jon laughs, low and mirthless.
"No, I'm not."
You—you are, though. This is real, this isn't a dream." Martin gives a small, nervous laugh. "I—I know it feels a bit like one, after everything, but—"
"Yes, it is," Jon says, with absolute certainty. "This is a dream. It has to be."
"Why?"
Jon looks at Martin then, with such sadness and longing in his eyes that Martin can barely stand to hold his gaze. "I wouldn't be here with you otherwise."--
Martin knows that they can't stay here at Upton, that being disconnected from the Eye is affecting Jon. But one more night, he thinks--just one more night can't hurt.
He's wrong.

Summary

Jon gets mugged. It's surprising how little this bothers him.

Summary
If Jon had known it would end so quickly, he would have tried to memorize it all better—the scent of the rain that caught them while they were out on one of their meandering strolls, the way Martin’s cold fingers warmed in his while they sat in front of the fire, the taste of burnt coffee and dry toast and Martin’s lips.
Five times Jon grieves, and one time he is mourned.-
