Summary
Be cautious, Bucciarati had said.
And he had been, for every step of this god-forsaken plan. He had checked the route numerous times both by map and through communications with one of Polpo’s underlings. They had been called on to gather information on where another rival gang was hiding their books and schedules, and with no lead in sight, the ability to replay the past had finally tempted their cell-bound Capo.
Be cautious, his leader had said, eyes flickering to the towering man dressed in sagging black clothing, and the bruises beneath his eyes poorly concealed and so deep Fugo thought he’d get lost in them.
Be cautious, because Polpo needs the new guy's ability. One even Fugo had barely seen. He’d heard whispers at night, over the phone and through the cracks in the doors. Bruno’s voice, deep but pensive, as he tried to ward the new hire from Polpo’s machinations.
He was too new, he was too traumatised. He needed time to get used to his stand.
And Fugo didn’t need his bosses strange ability to know every word out of Bucciarati’s mouth was some flavour of a lie.

Plans go sideways, Fugo and Abbacchio get caught, Fugo's tie is missing, and Abbacchio decides to push some buttons. -

Summary
Somewhere, under the low humming of the monitors, the quiet gurgling of replacement coolant being piped into Vox body, a new noise - dry, yet somehow viscerally wet, and so very soft - made itself known, but only just.
And Valentino almost missed it.
-
After a fight with Alastor, Valentino watches vigil over Vox’s broken form.(What if Vox still has organic vocal cords, and after a fight with Alastor, the synthesiser he uses to amplify his voice is destroyed. What if Valentino hears Vox’s real voice for the first time?)

Summary
The sound is familiar - the slight stick of a door that’s too big for its frame catching, and the bumping of socked feet on laminate moving further away from the living room, towards the source of the snoring.
Quickly, quietly, he pads over and grabs the door handle, pulls and meets the wide startled eyes of his son - sans crutches, bedhead askew but looking far too awake for a school night.
Chris.
His son stares at him, mouth clicking shut, taking in his appearance in the doorway - ruffled sleep shirt, wildly carded hair, a hint of panic in his eyes that Eddie knows he can't hide from his son at this moment.
“What are you doing u-”
“I heard you. You were going to check on him too, right?” Chris questions, voice quiet, barely reaching Eddie's ears. He winces internally, so he had been louder than he had wanted.
A breath stalls in his throat, sticking and making him swallow thickly.
“Yeah. Yeah Bud, I was.”
“Can I join you?” The earnestness of the tone makes Eddie's heart ache with each clench of the muscle. “I don't want him to wake up alone with the thunder…”
That worry, that want to be there and reassure - like father, like son he supposes.

Summary
Her eyes, Eddie notices, are too wide, too bright from where she whips her head around to the sight behind her, only to startle and look at Eddie once again.
There's too much spinning round his brain, and he’s forgetting something, he knows he is.
He’d got Buck into his harness, double- no triple checked every buckle and loop, he’d looked Buck in the eye and asked him to come home with him. To him.
Then.
Then Buck had climbed as he had manned the controls. He’d stopped, with panic in his voice and then the world had lit up.
No.
His sharp intake of breath must tip Hen off because she starts to speak, to say his name as Eddie gets a skinned-hand beneath himself and pushes upward, looking past her.
Backlit by the highrise lights, Buck’s blurred form sways from his final stop two-thirds up the extended ladder, only the single strap of fabric suspending him from plummeting to the asphalt below.

Summary
“Still trying to beat the Dog?” Buck asks, shuffling closer to the couch.
“Chris always plays him, I need to get better and show my son who's boss.” There’s a hint of pride in his voice, Buck notes.
That his son is able to beat him at video games, able to teach him - or at least, able to sit and nag his dad over his terrible memory of the characters' many, many button combinations and their corresponding counters.
“And to think less than two years ago you hid away the TV remote and the console because an AI recommended you a better coffee maker.” Buck teases gently, grinning as Eddie predictably rolls his eyes - like father, like near-teenage son. “Speaking of which.”
The mug in Bucks hands is well-loved, a small chip on its rim, its colours now washed out from years of use, and from it wafts the familiar scent of warm Christmas spices, coffee, and steamed milk.

Summary
Instead of dissolving with Viktor like Jayce expected, he gets sent a decade into the past when Viktor didn’t even know him yet. Of course the logical action to take is to kidnap him. Meanwhile Viktor, twenty-two years old, figures that hey, as long as he can research magic, this isn’t too bad of a predicament.
Or: Post-Season 2 Jayce and Season 1 Viktor, the grief of having lost your soulmate while having to look at his younger version who doesn’t even know you, the endless exhaustion of being a second-hand love and also science.

Summary
The ink hadn’t even dried up on Jayce’s PhD diploma when the job offer landed in his inbox. Prestigious, well-funded, and in a country he had never even considered moving to. At the time, it had seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime.
But being there now, staring at a stack of unread emails, most of them marked urgent in varying degrees of exaggeration, Jayce wonders if he’d been a little too eager to say yes.
He came here to innovate, teach, and change the game, but lately, it feels like he spends more time fighting bureaucracy than breaking ground.
And there’s also Viktor.
