Summary
The sound of Mark’s voice is starting to fade from her memory now, two years in. The scratch of his pen against paper, the way he always tapped his foot slightly out of time. He used to play records in the mornings, while they got ready for work together, and she secretly loved his taste in music. She never told him; it would’ve gone right to his head.

Summary
The infamous sneeze sequence. Mark always held his finger aloft - 'Please hold' - and patiently reserved his blessings for after the final instance.
It happened once when they were fighting. In the space between the first and second sneeze, Gemma looked at him with red, swollen eyes; he looked at her and timidly raised a finger. She'd choke-sneeze-laughed and tipped her head against his shoulder. The wall between them crumbled. They folded into each other, all relief and sniffles. A return to closeness.
"I'm still mad at you," she said, into his chest.
"Oh, me too," he assured her.
But behind it, always - It's me, I'm here, I'm yours, I'm sorry.
or: Gemma tries to cope with the emptiness of the testing floor.

“This is such a bad idea,” Mark says, overcome by a sudden rush of anxiety when he looks at the door. “What if someone just — walks in?”

Summary
“I feel like it’s something we’ve lost,” Gemma mumbles. “I feel like – like we should mourn it, and accept it. Does that make any sense at all?”
Memories bombard him – blood swirling around the shower drain, the bars on the crib rattling to the ground, a beam of moonlight crossing the empty side of her bed.
“It does,” Mark says. “It makes a lot of sense.”
In which Mark and Gemma make a family.

Summary
The thing people never seemed to understand, after, was that the house was mostly hers. Her vines crawling through the trellises propped on the walls, her odd collections of candles and ceramics on the kitchen counter, her books-- god, her books, everywhere. He had liked it that way. That, of course, is why he moved. He would have rather died than stayed.

Summary
It’s his favorite fact to deliver at parties, and it’s always made Devon’s skin crawl - (“You’re such a freak, Mark.”) - which is why it’s the best first thing to say on a date.
Great War historians and Russian literature professors are pretty comfortable around the topic of death, until it's inescapable.

Summary
Mark is still covered in a stranger's blood when he slaps Charlotte Selvig's floral-patterned credit card onto the counter of a motel check-in desk fifteen miles outside of Kier.
(Not far enough, his animal brain is nagging at him. They need to get further, leave the state — fuck, leave the country, build a spaceship and leave the world behind. He could do it. It — it fucking feels like he could do it right now. He can do anything. Build a spaceship, lift a car, walk on fucking water. Gemma’s here. She’s here. She’s here. She was dead, and now she's here.)

Summary
Viktor reads Jayce's notebook to catch up on the Hextech work he's missed while he's been out sick (a break Jayce has forced him to take) and finds a confession of Jayce's love to a strange, unnamed man. The thought doesn't cross Viktor's mind that it could possibly be him, and so he begins to act a bit strange around Jayce out of pure pining (which he thinks is not mutual).
