    Summary

    It's 1997. God is real, and He is in your cereal, your radio, the glint of headlights caught in roadkill eyes. In the hum of cicadas and the low pulse of FM static. He is in the rust on your daddy's tools, the warm plastic of the truck dashboard, the syrup-thick silence that settles over the hills come sundown. If you're listening proper, you can hear Him in the drip of the kitchen tap, the way it ticks time like a metronome. Keeps beat for the loneliness.

    Jayce Talis lives alone in the hills, content to keep to himself, his Bible, and the quiet work of tending land too stubborn to yield much. Then one summer evening, the church drops a half-starved stranger on his porch. Viktor- sharp-tongued, bird-boned and unrepentant- is the kind of man Jayce was raised to turn away from. But the mountains have a way of stretching out time and making space for things that don’t belong, and the more Viktor learns to live, the more he makes Jayce remember what he's spent years trying to forget.

    Summary

    Viktor froze immediately. The shock on Jayce’s face was met with horror of his own; of course he had been so foolish. Of course he had forgotten to fully shut the door. Of course Jayce had come home early, and of course Jayce would invite himself inside, for who could have possibly anticipated that his roommate was enthusiastically fucking himself while holding his—

    ’Hoodie.’

    ✧˖°.

    Viktor enjoys himself alone. Well— he was supposed to be alone.

    Summary

    His steps echo through the room, with only the feeble light from the hallway casting his shadow upon the dark stones. He can see, faintly, a silhouette through the bars facing him, though the man does not move. Amber eyes shine quietly, watching him with interest. Viktor feels a shiver down his spine, and yet, he keeps walking.

    "Jayce Talis, I presume."

    The man's face and figure finally come into view. Up close, his features are sharp, sculpted by a rough, half-maintained beard and messy hair. His expression is fixed in a hard glare that does not quite ring true. As though an intentional mask to separate him from the soft, slightly round-faced student Viktor remembers him looking like.

    "You're… the Dean's assistant." His voice is low and rough from disuse.

    Viktor would usually be offended by the words, but for this one instance, he lets it go. "You recognise me."

    "How can I forget the pretty little thing who arrested me?"

    Ah. He may have forgotten about that detail.

    Or. Stillwater Jayce, assistant turned Dean of Zaun's Academy Viktor, and a start.

    Summary

    Recently, to the left of Jayce’s eye line in red permanent marker, someone has written “MEN’S ROOM - MIDDLE STALL. FRIDAYS 10 - 2” in all caps, with a fat heart to punctuate the invitation. Underneath, in the same marker, they’ve drawn a circle.

    It takes him a few beats to understand what the red marker is advertising. And when it clicks, even though Jayce certainly isn’t the kind of guy to visit a glory hole, he checks his wristwatch anyway.
