Summary
"The light slinks in at an oblique angle, dappled through the thinning leaves as '58 crests toward the far side of October, but Owen glows in it anyway, gaunt and ethereal. The burn scars on his face pucker and glisten. He tests the lock on the window, and a rush of fondness surges through Curt’s chest: there’s his Owen. So paranoid. So beautiful."
About a year after the fall, Owen's ghost visits Curt in a dream. Because it definitely is a dream… Right?

Summary
"Hendricks has worn the same bright smile since he retrieved Fetch from Sheertop, and the strain of it is starting to show. The crinkling skin around his eyes reads as crow’s feet now, a heaviness belying his age even through the veneer of perennial Elvish youth. Fetch churns. He can’t even fucking smile at me anymore."
Fetch was apprehended and imprisoned by the Opus before he could reveal the location of the sacred river to the Humanitarian Army. Now he and Hendricks are on vacation, and Hendricks keeps acting like nothing is wrong.

Summary
'God save thee, ancient Mariner!
From the fiends, that plague thee thus!—
Why look'st thou so?'—With my cross-bow
I shot the albatross.//
The spirit who bideth by himself
In the land of mist and snow,
He loved the bird that loved the man
Who shot him with his bow.— The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Samuel Taylor Coleridge
(alternately titled How Long John Silver Came to Own a Parrot Named Captain Flint: a Poem in Three Parts.)

Summary
"The phone keeps ringing. He hopes nobody picks up. He hopes he has time to roll over and smother himself to death in his pillows before anybody picks up. He's just about to google how long it takes to die by autoerotic asphyxiation when the ringing stops and Flint's face fills the screen.
Fuck Silver's life. Flint looks good."

A follow-up to did the twin flame bruise paint you blue by Jaynovz.
Six months later, Silver calls Flint on a whim and gets more than he bargained for.

Summary
"A cat would stave off the solitude, he thinks as he tears up the basil and sprinkles the pieces into his stew, not that he’s ever alone very long. No, there’s always someone desperate enough, always someone hungry enough, to pay him a visit."
James makes an impossible journey to an impossible hut on an impossible island, so that an impossible man might grant him an impossible wish.

Summary
"Trust Flint. It sounds so easy. Flint offers here to take his weight, to swaddle and rebuild him. Was it truly so bad, letting Flint build him the first time? He’d not have had Madi at all, if Flint hadn’t built him into something concrete, something tactile. She’d have reached out to touch him, and the ephemeral wisp he’d been would have simply passed through. It was Flint who tied the anchors to him, bound him within himself. He had Madi because he trusted Flint.
He lost Madi because he trusted Flint, too."
—
A lot of other people have written incredible, beautiful works about Flint supporting Silver in the wake of Madi's supposed death, and how that support finally brings them together. This is the opposite of that.
