It’s like a footprint or a shadow. It can’t hurt you. All it can do is frighten.

Chapters: 6/6 Fandom: Dark Matter - Michelle Paver Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Gus Balfour/Jack Miller Characters: Jack Miller (Dark Matter), Gus Balfour, Teddy Wintrington, Algie Carlisle, Hugo Charteris-Black Additional Tags: Found Families, Angst with a Happy Ending, Claustrophobia, Acrophobia, Mutual Pining, Alternate Universe - College/University, Caves, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Miscommunication Summary:

When you go caving, you carry your lights with you through a system made up almost entirely of darkness. In reality, the natural state of a cave is so dark that absolutely nothing can be seen. But when you go caving, you rarely ever see this, because wherever you look all you know is the light you bring with you.

If he was forced to, Jack would admit he thinks knowing Gus and the others is like this: like he's been lost in the passages for years and someone has finally handed him a light.

A gift for the Dark Matter 2019 Gift Exchange.

happy solstice, @mozalieri!!

Gus Balfour is fleeing the country. It’s an inconvenience to everyone that he’s attempting to do so via the ship on which Jack Miller works.

happy shortest day of the year & dark matter gift exchange to @aconissa!

“A hawthorn tree,” Gus says, thrilled. “Quite a specimen!  Means there are fairies here, too, some say.”

Instead of Gus getting appendicitis, Algie gets injured and leaves Gus and Jack alone on Gruhuken. Well, not totally alone.

My (slightly late) fic for @pileofsith as part of the 2019 Dark Matter gift exchange! Hope you enjoy it :)
