enduring moral core by Prydon
(read on ao3)
**spoilers for Juno Steel and the Next Page**
Captain Aurinko claims she sees evidence of Nureyev having an enduring moral core, a heart that he’s perfectly capable of excising should he so choose.
She’s right. See, that’s the funny thing about Nureyev’s predicament: it is a prison of his own making. He can stop sending payments, free himself of his constant stress and toil, whenever he so chooses. If only he gives up his heart.
But his heart is lying in a hospital bed several planets away, near-braindead and hooked up to machines. And he isn’t going to let that heart die. Not for anything.
