Summary
Jim wakes up from a nightmare, and Zheng comforts them.
A hurt/comfort ficlet for Garlic Soup Week 2025 exploring the relationship between The Polycule’s badasses, and what it’s like for Jim to have a safe person to cry on. Very little actual crying, and low to medium angst.

Summary
At eighteen, Ed and Stede meet by chance while backpacking through Europe, and it’s like striking a match—an immediate sparking connection drawing them together. Every day they spend together feels like an adventure, wandering through the streets of Hamburg, getting lost in Fussen, and finding their feelings for each other might be more than just friendly. But when Ed suggests they split up for a bit—just a detour before meeting again in Venice—things fall apart. Ed's train breaks down, Stede waits in Venice until he decides he's been stood up, and the trip ends in separation and broken hearts.
25 years later, they’ve never forgotten about each other, but their lives have moved on. When a chance encounter brings them face-to-face, it’s like no time has passed, and all the old memories (and feelings) come rushing back. Only they're both in committed relationships...
As they wander through re-learning each other, sorting through their feelings, they’re faced with the question of whether it’s possible to pick up where they left off—or if too much time, and too many choices, have come between them. Can they move past the lost connections and missed opportunities, and rediscover what once set their souls on fire?- Language:
