Silver, Part I

Because I literally cannot resist writing things and because Henry Jekyll has always been Highkey Relatable™ for me (and because there’s a notable lack of my boy G. J. Utterson in the comic), here’s a short TGS fic.

Let me know if you want more? I could keep going.

"I dislike that Hyde fellow immensely," said Utterson. Jekyll froze halfway through uncorking the wine.

"Well," he said, picking his composure up off the floor and dusting it off, "he is a bit rough around the edges, hah hah. One gets used to him after a while."

"I've spoken with Lanyon about him," Utterson said. "He doesn't like him, either."

What a shock, Jekyll thought, although the words had a distinctly Hyde-ish cast to them. He shook himself, pouring out two glasses of wine. If he filled his a little fuller than he ought to have, it was only because it had been a stressful few days.

"Gabriel, I swear, you are going to be the death of me," Lanyon said, rubbing his eyebrow. Light was pouring into the conservatory, the first real sunlight they'd had in days. Two glasses of cabernet sauvignon sat on the table. Utterson had so far resisted drinking any of his, which drove home how serious he found the whole situation.

"It's gone on long enough," Utterson said. "Something must be done."

The man who answered the door for Rachel had the most immaculate eyebrow-raise she had ever seen on a person.

"Yes?" he said.

Utterson hadn't heard from Lanyon in three days, and his patience had stretched as thin as it was able. Something, he reasoned, must have happened in conjunction with or immediately after the kidnapping, something that had catastrophically altered Lanyon's mindset. Utterson would have expected him to be crowing with delight over the disappearance of Hyde, magnetized to Jekyll's side to prevent anything else from happening to him; but although Jekyll had been making fairly regular appearances as he prepared for the exhibition, nobody Utterson talked to had seen Lanyon at all.

So it was that when Utterson called on him at home, and Hopwood answered the door with an eyebrow already half-cocked, he decided upon the instant that he wasn't going to go away until he'd gotten some answers.

Now with 100% more Rachel!

Lanyon took in Utterson's wine-flushed face and tipsy balance and folded his arms.

"I see your meeting with Jekyll went well," he remarked.

"It was a very fine Claret," Utterson mumbled, flushing redder than the copious amounts of wine he had imbibed.

Utterson clambered up over the railing as Hyde fled and saw Mr. Guest crumpling to the ground. Utterson dropped down beside him. There was blood, so much blood. Guest was gasping and white with shock. Utterson ripped off his coat and balled it up, pressed it to the gushing wound in Guest's shoulder.

"Help!" he cried at the top of his voice. "Poole! Jekyll! Help!"

Jekyll was so furious he couldn't see straight. He got back to the Society mostly on muscle memory. His head was full of red fog, bloody and fire-lit. His hands were clenched on the drawer, the wood biting into his flesh. He barely felt the pain. He barely felt anything at all.

The titters of surprise as he entered the Society only reached him distantly. Griffin and Helsby rushed up before he'd made it four steps. The moment he'd stopped—mostly to keep from trampling them—Pennebrygg and Flowers and Bird burrowed out of the woodwork to descend upon him.

Let’s play the “how much worse can we make it” game! This one’s a little shorter, but in my defense, it covers a lot of ground.

Jekyll woke up when Poole set a tray on his nightstand. He could smell scones and Earl Gray. He had a blistering headache and felt like his tongue was wearing a sock. Everything was sore, like he'd been run over by a carriage. Judging by the fuzziness of his memories, he might actually have been run over by a carriage. That might explain why his hand was a red mass of pain wrapped in bandages.

"What time is it?" Jekyll managed, sitting up and rubbing his eyes.
