    Summary

    They barely spoke at all when they went to bed. The nerve-wracking reality of sharing space, just inches apart, overpowered any instinct to chat. So they said nothing, falling asleep to the sound of the other’s breathing until it was time for one or both of them to be woken by a nightmare.

     

    The first night, it was Martin. He tossed and turned in his sleep, badly enough to shake Jon from his own bad dreams, so Jon could hear the second he woke with a hitched, choked breath.

    “It’s alright,” he whispered. “You’re alright, it was just a dream.”

    “Jon?”

    “I’m here.”

    Jon reached across and slipped his hand into Martin’s, and Martin squeezed it like a lifeline. They didn’t say anything else, after that, but when they finally fell asleep nearly an hour later, their hands were still clasped together.

    Summary

    "So, are we, um... going to talk about this?"

    Martin lifts their joined hands for clarification and hopes his palms aren't as sweaty as he fears.

    (Spoiler alert: they talk about it.)

    Summary

    After the events in the Panopticon, Jon and Martin rush to leave London. But making their home in an idyllic safe house isn't that easy: between the layer of dust, and Forsaken still clinging to Martin's heels, it could be some time before they reach an understanding.

    A torturously intimate look at how Jon and Martin come together, one long, strange, honest day at a time.

    Summary

    “I want to make you happy,” Martin finally says, his voice breaking the silence like a hammer swinging forward to shatter glass, and when Jon glances over, he sees him looking down and away like it’s some sort of confession. “But I don’t want to go too far. I’m sorry.”
