==Summary==

Disgraced magician-linguist Terrence is called back into service by an old flame, and has to confront the mistakes of his past and his own lingering feelings for Eli.

==Author's notes==

This is a story about forgiveness.

What happens after:

Somewhere down the road Terrence becomes Cass' teacher and it becomes his greatest legacy, that he trains this powerful, responsible, conscientious Linguist who chooses to use her powers for good. Terrence never speaks the Words much himself, except for when he and Eli get married (because Eli is totally the type who wants Terrence to make an honest man out of him). The day ends up stormy with rain, and Eli is so so sad that they might have to call their beautiful outdoor Jewish wedding ceremony off (he surfed Pinterest so long, guys!) So Terrence makes it sunny again. He thinks it's worth it when he sees Eli under the canopy glowing with happiness. Terrence figures if a little bit of sun is all it takes to make Eli that happy — which he mentions later that night, when he and Eli are lying in bed totally exhausted after crazy wedding night monkey sex, and Eli is like, god you're an idiot, it wasn't the sun, it was you.

(During their honeymoon, Terrence takes him to a basketball game).

An Origin is a story written by [[Ogiwara Saki]]. It ran in [[Issue 50]] at http://s2b2.livejournal.com/284735.html, and will be mirrored shortly at http://www.shousetsubangbang.com.

==Summary==

In colonial India, Edmund, a crippled British soldier, is assigned to investigate a murder at a local boys' school where he must work with Devraj, a schoolteacher by day, Darwinian naturalist by night.

<blockquote>On a hot dry afternoon in Lucknow, two naturally reticent men were seated across each other for afternoon tea, and after attempting to avoid direct eye contact for a few minutes, their resultant conversation, more or less, went about as this:

"The weather," Edmund said.

"Yes, the sky," muttered Mr. Korrapati.

"Is very—"

"Blue," said Mr. Korrapati.</blockquote>

==Author's notes==

This is a story that's been mulling in the back of my mind for a while. I really liked the idea of the theory of evolution and natural selection framing the narratives about colonialism (as represented by Devraj) and the physical body (as represented by Edmund). My research about life in colonial India came from several books, but in the end as I was pressed for deadline I wasn't able to include all the little details I would have liked -- and I'm sure some of the historical facts are outright wrong, for which I do apologize.

This is the first story I've written for SSBB that has alternating POVs.

It's also the story that, in my head, I refer to as AND SCIENCE!
