    Summary

    Those doe-eyes focus on her again. "That's what I'm working on. To fix what's broken, and make it whole."

    "You'd be doing what I couldn't do, then—," Eurydice says slowly, eyes narrowing. "—as their child that they adopted to fix their broken marriage. You've raised my expectations for this song. Sing it for me."

    "No— it isn't finished," he stammers.

    "Am I not Lord Hades' daughter? Your Lady? Sing the song."

    Summary

    He… he hurts.

    More than he should. Even with the beating he just endured. There’s supposed to be some kind of shock after this, isn’t there? Adrenaline or something?

    Nothing like this had ever happened to him. He would remember being in this much pain.

    He would remember the pain of thousands of punches and kicks and scraps all in one… right?

    It’s the last thing he manages to think before he sees the vague impression of three women above him, practically sneering at him as he curls further into a ball on the ground, squeezing his eyes shut and feeling the burn of tears streak down his face.

    Broken.

    Bleeding.

    Alone.

    OR

    Orpheus realizes that he's done this all before, and that he'll do it again.

    Summary

    Wylan’s glare deepened. “Stop doing that.”

    “Doing what?” Jesper asked, batting his eyelashes exaggeratedly. “Flirting?”

    Wylan’s ears burned red all over again, Jesper noted with approval.

    “Flirting because I hate you and you think you can win me over!” It seemed like a monumental effort for Wylan to keep his feet planted rather than stomp them out of frustration.

    Jesper tilted his head, pretending to consider. “Hate is… a little strong, don’t you think? Considering I literally don’t know you at all.” He skipped over the inconvenient truth that Wylan was, in fact, entirely correct.

    Wylan’s expression grew more furious, if that was possible. “Right. You do not know me.”

    -

    Jesper Fahey does not know Wylan Van Eck. Wylan Van Eck does not know Jesper Fahey. That might not be the whole truth, but it is to them. For this moment, at least.

    Summary

    it’s a love song
    it’s a tale of love from long ago
    it’s a sad song
    but we’re gonna sing it even so

     

    Wylan couldn’t get that stupid song out of his head.

    Summary

    Once, Wylan made Jesper swear not to let Alby Rollins suffer because of who his father was, in the way that you speak when you know what it’s like to suffer the agonies at hand.

    At the time, Jesper had thought that maybe Wylan’s father was some Barrel thug, the sort of job that invited in members of other gangs to come and beat up your family.

    Hell, if Jesper had learned about an hour ago that Wylan’s father was Jan Van Eck, then he might have assumed that Jan Van Eck’s enemies had once punished his son.

    But Wylan spoke of Jan Van Eck’s goons shoving someone into the canal, and Jesper knows how Wylan feels about the water.

    It cracks something open inside of Jesper to realize that Wylan didn’t trust him with the truth. That mayhaps Wylan’s trust wasn’t worth its weight in gold, but rather a higher price entirely, one that Jesper Fahey couldn't pay.

    But he has to take heart that the first thing that Wylan said, the moment that Kaz mentioned Van Eck, was a warning for their safety.

    “Wylan Van Eck?” Jesper asks.

    (When Kaz announces the Ice Court Heist, the truth comes out, or: Jesper Fahey is more clever than people give him credit for and puts the pieces together himself.)
