   Summary

   He’s so tired. Of being gentle with himself, of giving himself time. Of all the helpful, exhausting little rituals that make it better but don’t make it go away. Of the distance between knowing the way home and actually being there.

   ----

   Sequel to Somewhere in Mid-Air, because enough people said they wanted to see more of the recovery and I found I did too. Nicky and Nile deal with the fallout.
