    Summary

    Martin just stands there, mind short-circuiting before he realizes that he was a caretaker, and he knows what to do. He wipes away the saliva from Jon’s chin and hails a cab, and he feels just responsible enough to go with him to A&E, which was a fantastic idea because Jon doesn’t come back to himself until Martin’s halfway done with the paperwork.

    Jon does not get his proper diagnosis until many years and specialist visits later. They sent him home the first time with fever-reducers and what to look out for in case of another minor seizure. The doctor said that, though uncommon, stress-induced seizures were not wholly unheard of in the medical community, and that history likely would not repeat itself.

    aka: history repeats itself, jon has another seizure, and the aftermath.

    Summary

    Martin doesn’t really know if he dreams anymore, to be honest. He thinks he must — he’d read articles, back when he was faking a psychology degree, that said everyone dreams, just not everyone remembers it. Sometimes, Martin wonders what dreams he must be forgetting, if they’re important to the world he’s now found himself in. Most times, he allows them to flutter off into unreachable subconsciousness, so as to not interfere with the not-dream he’s having now.
    “I was dreaming of insect wings,” Martin tells him.

    Martin has been having the strangest dream.

    Summary

    Martin"s been having dreams. He doesn"t understand them.

    Surely, if Jon had ever looked like that, with unreal wings and a crown of spinning eyes, Martin would have remembered.

    But his memory isn"t working as well as it should right now, and Jon never blinks.

    Martin is afraid.
