Summary
"Even if you wanted to have children, even if I do, even if we were accountants settled on Mercury and no one was after our heads, I couldn’t...I couldn’t do that to a child.”
“Couldn’t do...what?” Juno asks, startled by the force behind Nureyev’s voice.
“I couldn’t burden them with having me as a father. It wouldn’t be fair.”
--
A story about new life, fear, love, family, and the breaking of generational curses.

Summary
Nureyev hears the sound of high heels on concrete, and suddenly someone is stepping in front of him: someone in a floaty pink dress that’s hiked up to reveal the blaster holster on his upper thigh. Said blaster is out, still buzzing from the previous shot, and trained straight on the next guard.
“Don’t touch him,” Juno growls.

Summary
Peter Nureyev has always felt too much.
First rule of thieving: keep your feelings in check. Don’t ever let them control you.
Mag scolds him when he gets too emotional. A certain amount of rage is useful, Pete. A certain amount of sadness can drive us forward and inspire us to fight. If you let it overwhelm you, however, you stop thinking clearly. You risk endangering yourself and the cause.
Peter has been trying very hard to listen to him, because he knows Mag is right. He usually is.
It gets hard, sometimes, though.

Summary
Nureyev finishes Duke’s makeup and stares at his reflection.
This is what he’s going to look like to play Juno Steel’s husband- to be the partner in crime of that beautiful lady he had the immense delight of running into several weeks ago. Juno Steel, who he’s given his name, and his…Well. The name is the important part.
This is Duke Rose, handsome up-and-coming thief. Expert gambler. The kind of person that could even make someone like Dahlia Rose swoon.
He stares at himself for a full minute, then he pulls out his makeup remover, wipes down his entire face, and starts again.
This time, it’ll be good enough.

Summary
Juno goes with Nureyev after the events of Final Resting Place- but he quickly realizes that spontaneously leaving everything he knows behind while in a really bad mental place might not have been the best decision after all.
To his surprise, however...it isn't only his problems that end up catching up with them.

Summary
There is nowhere for either of them to run, no doors for Peter to leave open when he needs to get out. And sometimes the need still stirs restlessly in him, because everyone he has ever loved, he has left.
So if he wants to stay, if he wants to stay and try and love like it’s a choice rather than a feeling, which part of him is the lie?
Juno has faced his demons. Peter tries not to look at his.

Summary
Today, five days since he disappeared, John stumbles through the door of his and Henrik’s house with a thousand-mile stare, his hair a mess, and days-old stubble on his face.
(A rewrite of the Gaskell storyline, wherein John's mental illness is portrayed with respect, David and Rox are alive, Johnrik is explicitly romantic, and there's a less miserable ending.)
