    Summary

    Religion! Horror! Exorcisms! Piercings! And Gerard is a priest.

    Disclaimer: I stole frequently and unrepentantly from Joss Whedon and the makers of various horror movies throughout this whole series. Also I am not an expert on the Vatican or medical-type things, so please accept my apologies in advance for all the wild inaccuracies I am sure you are about to encounter. If everyone could just assume this is the Magical Made-Up Vatican, you know, like the religious institution version of those tour buses that drive themselves and don't carry anyone but the band, that would be awesome.

    Summary

    Viktor had sounded so fond talking about his ballet days, like there was a thread of undying love for it sewn through his entire being. Jayce understood the all-consuming passion to dance - it was practically a prerequisite, if you wanted this career. What he couldn’t wrap his mind around was how you could endure that loss, how you could invert that height of passion into the depths of pain, and not go mad with it.

     

     

    Jayce has spent the last few years as the principal male soloist of an award-winning ballet company. When a chance meeting brings him face-to-face with his fabled predecessor, the man he sees in front of him is not at all what he expected.

    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Sobbing crying throwing up

    I will not recover from this
    I am a changed man

    Enter Viktor, a tired but dedicated teacher with a no-nonsense attitude. Self-proclaimed as 'not a fan', Viktor wants nothing to do with Jayce's redemption arc, and even less to do with him.
