    Summary

    “What—what about Martin?” Jon asked her, tripping over his words in the rush to get them out. “Did his plan work, i-is Elias—is Martin alright? Elias didn’t—didn’t hurt him, or…?” He trailed off at the look on Basira’s face, not somber or serious as it had been before, but utterly confused, brows drawn, mouth pinched.

    “Who’s Martin?” she asked.

    Or, Peter Lukas takes a different approach in isolating Martin from the world. He is forgotten by everyone who has ever known him. Except Jon.

    Summary

    It was loud on the train. That wasn’t true, exactly - they had boarded just after midnight, and the hush of early morning had settled over the carriage soon after. The only noise was the rumble of the wheels, the rush of Jon’s breath (slow and even, as he’d fallen asleep not long after they boarded), and the faint, tinny sound of music spilling from another passenger’s headphones. It was, by all reasonable accounts, not a loud train carriage. But it was still too much.

    Everything was too much. Martin hadn’t realized how much the Lonely had muted things - muffled sounds, dulled colors, kept emotions always at an arm’s length, to be observed but not truly felt - until it had been ripped away from him. He felt like one giant exposed nerve. Simply existing in the same space as other people was almost unbearable.

    And Jon’s hand was still wrapped around his, and that was worse. All of the painful, tangled emotions that the Lonely had provided an escape from were connected to Jon. He had loved Jon. He knew that. He had waited years for Jon to give some sign that he cared and, the time would come eventually when Martin would be very glad he finally had.

    For now, though, his feelings towards Jon were...complicated.

    Summary

    Jon remembers a statement he read years ago given by a Jesuit priest, who said that the shortest prayer he knew was, just, fuck it, as in fuck it; it's in God's hands. He takes Daisy's hand and trails on after her.

    or; hope is a thing with feathers.
