Raphael: **is startled when he first sees Merrick, apparently because he looks exactly like Merrick’s grandfather**

Raphael: **gets a letter from Merrick’s deceased grandfather that’s signed “All My Love, Harry”** **immediately starts quietly sobbing when he thinks no one is looking**

Raphael: **accidentally calls Merrick “Harry” when overly exhausted**

Me immediately:

The Bedlam Stacks by Natasha Pulley

It wasn’t until I shifted that I realized Raphael was asleep against my back, his arm across me so that it would have been almost impossible for someone, even standing right above us, to shoot me without catching him too. His rosary had imprinted a circle pattern in my arm, then a suggestion of a cross, just near the top of the anchor tattoo. I closed my fingers over the beads. It was the first time I had ever been in bed beside anyone, having been tritely and pointlessly in love with other people’s wives until I was too old to start. I’d thought perhaps I wasn’t the sort of person who could have lived close to anyone else, but that was wrong, now I was here. It would have been good, always to wake up this way.

I love the character of Merrick Tremayne so much because it’s like, yes, he’s basically a professional criminal and he’s very cunning and dangerous, but also, the second he thinks Raphael is maybe mad at him for any reason, he turns into a sentient Richard Siken poem and I just think that’s great
