    Summary

    It’s just a few tattoos, ink on paper-thin skin, until it isn’t.

    Until Viktor flinches too soft, until Jayce kisses him like he wants to absorb his breath. Until love becomes a promise one of them might not be able to keep.

    If time must take him, let it be after Jayce has carved every piece of him into memory.

    Let it be knowing he was seen.

    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Absolutely amazingly devastating

    Summary

    Jayce Talis needs to get out of New York. His publisher calls it a “creative retreat,” but Jayce knows better. His work is slipping, the city feels too loud, too suffocating. So he drives—somewhere quieter, somewhere slower. He rents a room in a small town that barely exists on a map, tells himself it’s just for the summer.

    He isn’t looking for a muse.

    But then there’s his new landlord—Viktor.

    Sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued, cigarette in hand. Unbothered by the heat, unimpressed by Jayce, unreadable in a way that makes Jayce want to study him a little too long.

    Summary

    "I’m a doctor.” Viktor says, frowning as one of the latches on Jayce's brace doesn’t close. “I help people with their backs.”

    “Doctor…?”

    “Dr. Talis.” Viktor says softly. The answer is like a punch to the gut. Jayce has forgotten who he’s talking to. A spouse, in a different life. The notion alone is enough to almost bring those pesky tears back. That insane vulnerability in his brain, the tender and abused place of him that doesn’t know how to quantify such an idea.

    Jayce would give anything to Viktor, be anything for Viktor. And in this universe, he’d been his husband. Had given him his name. A gift that has lasted beyond even death.

    Summary

    All things considered; the pitfall had technically served its intended purpose. That came as no surprise to Viktor. Rarely did he ever construct a trap that didn’t do exactly what he’d built it to do.

    It was what he found at the bottom of it that left him rattled.
