    Summary

    There are no windows in the Skydome’s cramped detention room so nobody gets the moment that Jay’s nose starts bleeding, dripping heavily into his lap. His hands are still cuffed behind his back. He tries to wipe the blood off on his shoulder and succeeds in smearing it across his lips, over his left cheek. It keeps dripping like a leaky faucet.

    Summary

    Somehow, Matt has become an adult before Jay. He goes on runs, lifts, cooks at home, reads, takes more than 2 showers a week, goes out on the weekends, does his laundry consistently. It drives Jay crazy. It's not fair. He goes back to sleep, pulling the covers over his head, hoping that maybe he'll disappear.

    Summary

    The whiteboard is the catalyst, but it really isn’t. It tips over a series of dominoes that lead to Jay’s bedroom, get under his feet, and walk him out the door. But, in the morning after, when the whiteboard has that big, capital D ‘Don’t’ on it, and Matt won’t be honest about having written it, despite it clearly being his handwriting, the whiteboard isn’t the catalyst, because Matt gets up on the couch and erases it, and it’s almost like it wasn’t there to begin with.

    A retro/prospective on Jay McCarrol's fame.

    Summary

    Okay. Fine. Whatever. He's going to get it over with. Jay's going to kiss him. He's going to kiss Matt. Honestly, it'll probably be really normal. Or like, just kind of gross, because Matt is kind of gross. They did everything together. He had only been nervous earlier because it was going to be so public. His heart was only hammering because he'd just been running for like fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes is a long time for someone to run continuously.

    Summary

    On July 11, 2025, Canadian singer-songwriter Jay McCarrol was arrested for the murder of Luke Lalonde, a member of his live band. He was charged with second degree murder and sentenced to 8 years of incarceration in a federal correctional facility.

    Famously, despite damning and public video evidence and multiple eyewitness accounts, McCarrol has denied any and all connection to the crime.

    On December 25, 2026, Jon “Matt” Johnson was arrested on charges of domestic terrorism. He was sentenced to 12 years of incarceration in the same facility.

    The audio you are about to hear was recorded in the Collins Bay Multilevel Correctional Institution between the dates of February 19 and March 3, 2027.*

    Summary

    Through everything, there's an overlay of I want to take his hand, that's so stupid. It's dark here, he could kiss me and nobody would have to know. Is he rough with himself – would he be rough with me? Could he be loud for me? Could I shut him up? It makes Jay feel like looseleaf paper falling out of the sheaf, mixed up with no context, can't figure out where anything gets put back.

    Summary

    "I'm from the future," Jay says at last.

    That's not possible, is Matt's first thought but he clamps down on it because this is Jay, and Jay is wandering Spadina, and Jay is also here in his room. So. Something impossible is now possible and it may as well be time travel.

    "You're a time traveller." Matt giggles. "Holy shit. Holy shit. How did you—? No, never mind that, what am I thinking. Do you have a sports almanac on you? Any winning lotto numbers?"

    Summary

    Edward finds himself longing all the same, gaze lingering on the quick pierce and dive of the needle, the coolness of the blue in Jopson’s eyes.
    It is mechanical, impersonal, a most impressive automaton. Edward’s throat contracts around the flowers blooming in it, the delphiniums and cornflowers and anemones that rise their fluttering faces high and catch Edward’s air. He chokes on the sweetness of their odor.

    Summary

    Irving is getting ahead of himself. Lovemaking comes after kissing, or at least that’s what he believes in his heart. And kissing, of course, comes after dating.

    Irving lowers his cube wall again. "Did you notice if there were any vending machines in O&D?"

    "No," Dylan says shortly, clacking away at his keyboard.

    "No, you didn't notice? Or no, there weren't any?" Irving says.

    "Jesus, Irving, I didn't notice," Dylan says. "Why?"

    "Dark Fate?" says Stede, making sure to pronounce the capitals.

    "Very effective for star-crossed lovers. And at a bargain price, if I do say so myself. A potent mixture of unspeakably rare ingredients, brewed under a new moon, which will drag you through the depths of your own soul in search of difficult truths, and leave the undeserving to drift forever in a dreamscape of torment and emotional agony!"

    "What?" says Stede. "No! That sounds awful!"

    Summary

    "So, this… look you're going for," Lucius starts, testing the waters.

    Blackbeard stares at him with vacant eyes. Jesus. Lucius is viscerally reminded of the man's dead-eyed look before he pushed him overboard.

    "Does it feel like the right choice for you? Are we happy with it?"

    "Do you have a fever?" Blackbeard asks, voice hoarse.

    Lucius cocks his head and says, "Don't think so. Do I look hot?" He winks.

    Blackbeard lifts his hand and presses his fingers roughly against Lucius' forehead.

    "What are you—"

    "No fever," Blackbeard grunts and draws back. "Good. Didn't want to cut off your fucking hand."

    Lucius drawls, "I'm touched."

     

    Or: Lucius survives. For better or for worse.

    Summary

    Cleave the pin (slang, 1595) To bring a man to orgasm.

    It’s a sobering thought for someone facing middle age to wrestle with, this notion one might be less than appealing in bed, and while he’d always known he was no Don Juan, Stede thought himself perfectly adequate in the art of making love. But ‘perfectly adequate,’ when facing the prospect of reuniting with the man that may very well be the love of his life, feels (pathetic, mortifying, distressing) like a quandary.

    You meet in the spring, in places crowded and messy. By summer your knees earn stains in the grass. By fall you press him back against a kitchen counter, and take your breath from the open window. By winter you're on Terror, and somewhere an hourglass turns.
