Summary
The phone rings for a long time, long enough that Jason almost hangs it back on the cradle before he can be faced with the daunting click of an answering machine, his knuckles already clenched white with how tightly he’s gripping the plastic, the cord looped around his fingers. His heart beats wildly against his sternum as the dial tone is cut off before he’s even able to move, line crackling in its connection, a brief silence on the other end that is worse than any worries of getting the machine. Then, a sound he hasn’t heard in two years echoes tinny through the landline, that low voice answering, “Salim Othman.”
In a testament to how much he has held on to thoughts of this man, simply hearing Salim’s voice again brings such a warmth to Jason’s chest, brings an unexpected sting of emotion behind his eyes. He breaks into an involuntary grin, sure that his tone betrays all of it as he says, “Hey, Salim.”
A slightly fluffy, slightly smutty reunion.

Summary
Dawn will break soon. There is a ring of faded gold glinting in the east, a light that will pierce the sky and shudder the stars away in a slow gradation of color. His one and only timepiece, and Thomas knows it is not long now until he must make his leave. The sea is a loud pull impossible to ignore.
An inevitable goodbye, framed by the sunrise.

Summary
The gashes in his stomach have healed to the point of a soft remaining redness. There’s a thinning scab, the skin ridged where it’s gone and stitched itself back together, though not much pain anymore. Not unless deep pressure is applied.
Think it’ll scar? Norman asks.
Life, afterwards.
