    Summary

    Jon frowns as he pushes his hat into position. “Is this really even a job that you need me along for? It’s not like you’re even going to let me talk with anyone.”
    “That’d be because you’re dressed like you’re attending a funeral,” Martin retorts — god, Gerry is rubbing off on him in the worst of ways, “and to be quite honest, your people skills are rather lackluster.”
    “I’m in
    uniform,” Jon argues, “and it’s not my fault that most ‘people’ we deal with are dreadful things of the night.”
    Martin can’t help the smirk that crosses his face. “Well, lucky for you,” he says, “
    I have lots of practice dealing with one of those.”

    In the grand scheme of things, going to fetch a...a skin book for the Institute isn"t the weirdest assignment they"ve been on.
    Jon and Martin make a house call.

    Summary

    “What are you waiting for, Herr Thelyss?” Bren rasped thickly, his eyes hooded, head tipped back invitingly. “You seem to know what you’re after.”

    A light huff of breath tickled his throat, a smile teasing over his pulse, tongue flashing out to taste and setting off sparks at the base of his skull. Essek"s lips pulled into a smirk, and Bren felt more than heard a short phrase murmured against his skin, his stomach flipping as gravity suddenly, predictably, upended itself.

    Summary

    After the events of the Unknowing, Jon is furious to find Peter Lukas running the Institute, and even more so to find Lukas has sent one of his own to work down in the archives. But upon meeting Martin Blackwood, Jon finds himself drawn to him, against his better judgement. Blackwood"s allegiances lie with Lukas, after all. Or so he thinks.

    But when Blackwood offers a deal--mutually beneficial and far too good to be true, Jon accepts.

    Summary

    Martin certainly doesn"t mean to stumble across a freshly-post-Buried Jon trying to untangle his hair, but when he does, it would be a bit rude not to try to help, right?

    Summary

    “You spent twenty years trying to come home.” Penelope says. Her hand is now playing with his hair, and he is almost ashamed of how much he loves her gentleness. Almost. He has long thrown overboard any guilt about taking what he needs to survive. Still, he shakes sometimes under her touch. “You are here now - and yet, when I look at you, you seem to still be away.”
    There’s a false calmness in her voice. She is upset - not with him, but with herself. Understanding smacks his mind like a rough wave against a ship. He pulls away, so he can look at wife. He props his head up  on his arm, and waits until their eyes lock to speak.
    “I do not miss it, Penelope.” He says.

    A few months after their reunion, Odysseus and Penelope have a lazy morning together.
