Summary
“Am I supposed to just wait around for you then?”
Ada can see it so clearly in that moment, every question he has ever thought of but never voiced aloud, all rushing to the surface at once, all screaming the one fact she was too blind—willfully or otherwise—to face: that these mortal attachments, these petty sentimentalities other people indulge in and she scoffs at, they were always meant to lead toward a particular destination. The strings bound both ways, and the carousel never did quite spin endlessly.
Would that she had the answer Leon wanted to hear.
(Or: For Leon and Ada, what looks like the end is merely the beginning. Sometimes, in order to fix something, you have to take it apart first.)

Summary
Ada makes a noncommittal humming noise. “Coincidences have been known to occur, when it comes to us.”
He raises an eyebrow. “Coincidence or calculation? Surely you don’t expect me to believe you just happened to be on the same train as my assignment.”
“Oh, are you on assignment, too?” Ada gasps in mock surprise, and immediately Leon knows he’s walked straight into her trap. “Now that’s a coincidence, if I’ve ever seen one.”
(Or: It takes years for Leon and Ada to establish a routine that will maintain their tenuous liaison. It will take them many more years to realize they want more out of it.)

"You always did have a habit of showing up uninvited, Ada," Leon mumbled.
"And you always had a habit of leaving the door open, Leon," Ada smirked.

Summary
“I’ve never failed a single job,” she ignored him, her tone growing restless. “Not even once. And yet… I can’t seem to finish this one. Why?”
“Because you’re scared,” he said it plainly, just the way it was. “You’re too scared to admit what we both know very well.”
Ada lifted her chin, defiant.
“And what’s that?”
And since Leon considered himself to be quite the suicidal bastard, he offered himself for the slaughter.
“That you’re in love with me.”
It was so unlike her, the way Ada rose from the chair in an instant, almost kicking the bottle in the process. She walked towards him in a hurry, fire and anger unleashing in her gaze, almost stumbling with her heels. Leon felt the impulse to make fun of her, of her composed demeanor slowly breaking at the seams, of the way she so expertly carried herself with excessive overconfidence until the word love was brought up, as if loving her was the worst thing he could ever do to her.
Or: Leon and Ada through the years. From 1998 to 2026, until their wedding ring.
