Summary
“It is embarrassing, that’s what it is—a fifty-some-year-old police officer breaking his big toe on the corner molding of his house?!”
Javert lets out a self-deprecating laugh, knuckles white where they clench his hair.
“I will never hear the end of it.”

Summary
Jean Valjean cherishes moments like these, tucked beneath warm covers with his most improbable bedmate nestled against his side. He feels content, cherished, settled—gifts he once could never have dreamed he might receive.
He stretches slightly, feels the body beside his own flex and stir in return, and turns to press himself closer to his partner, lips ghosting along the whiskery curve of his jaw.

Summary
It had been a week since that day after the end of the world. Aziraphale had taken his leave, had said he would return in the morning—
—and instead it had been seven days and Crowley was alone.
Or, Aziraphale loses track of time, and Crowley finally loses control.

Summary
It is not only mortals who have drunk from the River Lethe.
Persephone lives countless lives throughout history, remembering none of them, always watched by one who cannot shake the sorrow in his eyes and the regret that dogs his every step.
It's a sad song, and it is sung again, and again...

Summary
She knew it was a work in progress, they both did. Their wound was closed but still raw, and Persephone, even with the wall gradually breaking down and their own seasonal give-and-take restored and flourishing—she doubted.
She couldn't help it.

Summary
It began softly, slowly, gently, like a moth emerging from a cocoon. The friendship that had come to define Jack’s career, his life, became what sustained it. The presence of Stephen in his cabin at dusk until he was near sleep was something he had come to treasure in a part of his heart he thought too shallow to accept such devotion. He found himself depending on the physician for advice, comfort, for companionship on their long voyages. The steady contact they shared became a necessity, and he loved it more than he had with any other living creature.
---
After Stephen's treatment at the hands of French intelligence, Jack comes to the realisation of just how much he needs and loves his friend.

Summary
Valjean does not ask, for he knows what Javert’s answer will be. Neither does he inform Javert of his intent, for it requires no leap of imagination to imagine the man’s reaction: his wild words, perhaps an attempt to throw something. And so it is that, when Valjean steps into the room with a heavy basin of steaming water held in his hands—he had asked his housekeeper to heat it, and yet knowing the nature of Javert’s complaints, had insisted on bearing it up himself—Javert raises his head from the sweat-stained pillows which have become his prison these past weeks, curls his lip in distaste, and says, “You presume too much.”
