Summary
“Fuck off,” he’d eventually said, with rolled eyes and a half-hearted glare. And then he’d taken the money.
So yes, that had been the first time Spider had, in a roundabout way, paid him for sex.
But it wasn’t the last, and it only got more explicit.

Summary
“Spider’s sort of an unusual nickname for a girl, isn’t it?” River asks her a week into training. They share a few seminars, so she’s seen him around, and of course she’s heard of him — he’s a Cartwright; everyone has heard of him by now — but it’s the first time he’s spoken to her.
She looks up at him from her seat with a sharp smile. She’s not offended, but she wants him to know she isn’t a sure thing, even with his important last name and annoying good looks.
“Isn’t your name River, or am I thinking of someone else who’s hardly in a place to judge about unusual names?”

Summary
Spider was the one who fell into the coma, James is the one who wakes up.
James reckons with his new life: navigating the fallout from his injury, working in slough house, and coming to terms with emotions he never allowed himself to feel.
River tries to grapple the Spider he knew with the one he has; and if he can allow himself the happiness that is finally within his grasp.

Summary
What the hell are you?”
Spider pokes at one of the claws digging into his chest. “No, what the hell are you?”
James Webb isn't as dead as generally assumed. River Cartwright was never entirely normal.

“You and Spider, you’re both such fucking pussies I don’t know who’s on top.”
“I think that’s homophobic,” River says.
