Among Spurious Lives

Nick looked at him a moment, then tilted his head to the side. Sebastian would never be able to see anything beyond the fact that he had been wronged. It was impossible for him to understand Jim, and it was impossible for him to understand Nick’s concern for him. At the moment, Nick thought that the sniper was little better than an animal, concerned only for his own wants and his...

“That wasn’t the slight I was referring to. I was talking about the night that Jim offered himself to you and you basically told him to fuck off because you wanted anything but him. You know, the night he passed out on the couch in my arms, wanting you to come home. When you were an ass and stayed at a hotel when he hadn’t actually done a damn thing wrong.”
“When you took your...

Nick suddenly felt the desire to interact with Sebastian desert him entirely. If he never spoke to him again, he would think nothing of it.
He licked his lips, then looked away from him, “You… do realize that when you walk out on him, at any time you could come back to a corpse, don’t you? You’re so ready to judge him and say that he ruined you, but you never think about the fact...

Lang pinched the bridge of his nose and felt a grin spreading from the corners of his mouth. “You have some sick offense within your mind. I was walking stiff for days.”
“Only days? You know how to strip a man of confidence, Pike.” Sebastian said, ignoring the Julius Caesar reference. He paused a few seconds, chewing on the inside of his cheek.
“Doing...

Nick looked exasperated. Was he really so fucking dumb? How many times had they been through the whole ‘Jim and Nick were best friends’ thing? How could he possibly not understand that there was more than just love, hate, and indifference? Idiotic. Disappointing. Almost stomach-turning. And in any case, not worth correcting. He was too stupid to understand before and one...

“Mycroft is my lover,” Nick said flatly, shrugging, “There’s not spurious or secretive about that. And in any case, we’re not talking about me. My life is unimportant. We’re talking about the fact that you are working toward ruining everything that we’ve all been working toward for years over three days of fucking mother goddess healing restorative sex with a gossip columnist.”

“Like Eeyore. Nah, been working as well. Where you calling from?”
“Cambodia. Ever been?”
“The hell would I go to Cambodia for? Celeb-spotting?” He sat up in bed, leant forward and rubbed his eyes. “Why’re you calling me now, Moran?”
“Well it took a while to wash out the scent of one-night-stand,” Sebastian said, joking a bit, “but once I got over the...

Nick watched him for a moment, taking from that exactly what he needed - the confirmation that Sebastian had in fact been compromised. He wasn’t sure why, but it shook him. It upset him, deeply.
He took another long swallow of his drink, then said evenly, “I want to know what you’re going to do going forward. You keeping him as your bit on the side?”
What did Nick want...

“No?” Nick asked, watching calmly. Men throwing and breaking glasses was nothing that got his attention anymore. Please. He’d first seen that when he was seven. Dull.
“So if I said ‘You have to either kill Jim Moriarty or Langdale Pike,’ what would you answer? If the thought of trying to convince me not to kill either even crossed your mind, you’ve been compromised. If it...

Nick laughed lightly, waving him in to sit at the table. He had finally finished the previous glass of alcohol and was started on a second. He felt milder, but not at all drunk; it was just enough to take some of the fire out of his eyes and bring out the sharpness of his consonants slightly when he spoke.
“It’s not a fight, have a seat, have a drink. Let’s talk a bit, though...

a hurricane migrates, moaning

Jim took a deep breath, shifting himself beneath Sebastian’s weight to make himself comfortable. He could hear the a/c now, and could feel it starting to dry the sweat on his body. He felt dirty and it was fine; after something like that, one wasn’t supposed to feel clean or pristine. Used. That’s precisely how a man should feel. Well used. Pain meant that a body was real. He was...
