Summary
Maybe this isn’t the awful thing it feels like. Perhaps whatever lingers in his blood that overrides his control is something intended to help, to make him better.
The thought doesn’t alleviate any of the terror that still swirls behind his ribcage, threatens to spill over and sink its icy teeth into his bones — but it’s something he clings to, nonetheless. He’ll figure it out, and stop it, and in the meantime it could be a good thing. He hasn’t figured out how to apologise, yet — but the logical first step would be to keep them happy, make sure he stays in their good graces and doesn’t do anything to further aggravate them.
He doesn’t like the idea, but if this — thing, this compulsion helps to make him more palatable, more tolerable and easier to be around, perhaps he’ll be allowed to stay long enough to make it up to them. He might be able to turn it into a good thing before he finds out how to end it, before it wears off. He’ll just wait it out.

J. Daniel Atlas ends up cursed, he thinks. It takes a while for the others to notice. In the meantime, he tries to stay sane. It's surprisingly difficult when your mind isn't your own, anymore.

Summary
“He still watched his family die, Nicky,” Joe says. “One by one. His youngest couldn’t stomach him at the end. Book’s been dealing with that… unmeasurable pain… for centuries.”
“You don’t think I know that? I sat by Jean-Pierre’s bedside as he lay dying. I held his hand. I read his last rites to him and watched the light fade from his eyes. I did all of that for Booker, because I loved my brother, and he still did what he did. He gave us to them because we had each other.”

Or, following Booker's arrival to the safe house, and Andy and Nile's departure, Joe and Nicky argue.

Aaron glares at him over his pint. “Stop trying to be mates with my ex-husband.”
“Well," Mack grins, stealing a handful of Aaron's chips. "I’m not mates with your current one, so I’m just balancing it out.”
[Or: Mack finds Robert in a ditch, a bar, and his best mate's bed.]
