Summary
He tried to keep his appearance nondescript but threatening. His canines being larger than usual was a helpful advantage. He kept different glasses for each alias, changing miniscule details to alter his looks. Everything was plotted and planned precisely.
None of them was almost anything like Peter Nureyev. As far as the man who changed names like choosing a shirt was concerned, Peter Nureyev was a mask like the rest of them. A mask long put to rest.Peter Nureyev before he became Duke Rose. On masks, names, and a loss of a moral core.

Summary
"I only wondered if I might choose my own outfit. I can become Monsieur Dauphin with ease," he adopted a slightly more haughty tone, adjusting his posture so it looked more regal, "However, I do feel that choosing my wardrobe often helps me to understand the role I am partaking in more thoroughly."
"Very impressive," Buddy said flatly, "But I'm afraid rules are rules, Peter. I know you aren't accustomed to teamwork so I'll forgive you for questioning my direct orders," she smirked. Was she teasing him? "I put you on the first mission to confirm your reported connection with Juno and to see how well you can adapt to working with another person. As such, I think a wonderful show of this would be to wear the outfit you were given.”
“So, this is a test then,” he replied, slipping back into Ransom's posture and dropping the voice.
“Was it not obvious?” Buddy chuckled. “I worry for the state of our mission if you couldn’t piece that together.

Nureyev hasn't had to get along with others in quite some time. It seems this might take some getting used to...
(alternatively summarized as impromptu team building via stream) -

Summary
Juno looks back at the dancers once more and Nureyev feels his heart ache in recognition, in kinship. Nureyev must have worn that look when he heard the music floating through the streets of New Kinshasa. The mind knows they cannot return, but the heart still reaches.

Summary
“The lead-up to this wedding is difficult for you, isn’t it? It’s hard for me, too, to tell you the truth.” wasn't supposed to end with “I’ve been married before, Juno.”
[Nureyev has anxiety around Buddy and Vespa's wedding because he was married (almost) twenty years ago-- divorced too. Juno recalibrates how he understands Nureyev, and finds he loves him more.]

Summary
And Mick had asked him to back him up this time, while Buddy had very clearly let him know he wasn’t needed. It didn’t actually matter if it was stupid or small.
Because once, it wasn’t.
For once, it sounds like Mick Mercury has gotten himself into something good, and Juno wants for all the world to be there to back him up.
When an asteroid labour rebel calls for help from the newly famous Mick and the fictional hero Bruno Bronze, they get instead a wash-up-writer, a master thief, an ex-smuggler, and a one-eyed (ex )private eye.

Summary
“Hey Nureyev?”
The response was just a sleepy hum, warm as the morning light that came from the sunlamps and the blankets they were still tangled up in.
“This is going to sound really fucking weird but… did you send me flowers on my birthday?"
-
could be read as a sequel to "of course he left," but would also make perfect sense as a stand-alone :) -

Summary
The truth is this: where Peter Nureyev's tale began, the nameless thief had meant to end it.
Gratuitously self-indulgent character study of the Angel of Brahma.

Nureyev woke up to an empty bed and a pit in his stomach. In that moment, he could only conjure up one thought: Of course he left.

Summary
The crew of the Carte Blanche have dealt with a lot in the past day or two, from a wedding to taking down the director of Dark Matters herself, but it seems like things are finally settling down. However, a few questions still remain: What happens to Sasha Wire now? Who was Peter Nureyev's first love? And perhaps most importantly- where do they go from here?
Tonight's tale is... Juno Steel and the Next Step Forward.

Summary

Summary
Rita crawls out from under the bookshelf and tucks herself on to my shoulder. Just as I’m about to doze off, I hear it.
Something is trying to climb the tower, and it seems to be succeeding.
There are no weapons in here. Sarah takes the knives with her when she goes, I’ve tried that on her before, and she’s made sure I have nothing heavy enough to knock someone out with.
Except for one thing. I groan, pulling out a cast-iron frying pan.

Summary
“We never really got a chance to talk about it, with everything that happened. What I saw, I mean. In the tomb, before you escaped. I guess I figured that you deserved to know. It is your memories that I’m carrying around with me, and even if you consented to it, it feels weird having them without your knowledge,” Juno explains. Especially with how I have treated the pieces of yourself that you have given to me in the past, he does not add.
Juno and Peter talk about the past.
