Masks and Gloves, an All the Other Ghosts fic, because fucking hell New York, Jesus, it's not like I can do anything *else*. I may have warped the timeline slightly to do this because obviously when I wrote AtOG and Grey I wasn't expecting a pandemic to hit within the next few years. And I know I have entirely vanished for months (Sorry, ill again -_- ) and I know I never revisit fandoms so this is super weird but with everything going on, this is the fic my mind went back to; given that I usually only revisit fandoms for charity, if you do want to make a donation to either Médecins Sans Frontières or a local homeless charity or anyone else who could probably really really use the help right now, do please feel more than free <3

I hope you're all keeping safe and well and ignoring everything that fucking Trump is coming out with in the face of this (Do not let people tell you that the economy is more important than peoples' lives. Governments' actions in the past few weeks have already proven that the shape our economy was in before this was not *necessary*, and it can be reshaped to keep people in their homes and their jobs.). Stay the fuck at home. Help each other out. And do the things that keep you steady; cuddle your pets, meditate, read, sing, make art and get some sunlight on your face, look after your loved ones. Take care of your body, now we have harsh proof of how fragile bodies are. And take care of your heart, since we're all struggling with this. But seriously seriously seriously, you guys, stay the fuck at home. Just stay the fuck at home, so you're not making one more job for the people who *have* to go out. The literal only thing you have to do at this point in time to save lives, to be an honest to god hero, is stay the fuck at home: this opportunity will *not* repeat itself, believe me . . .

Rating: R, bit of swearing

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, and frankly good luck finding a lawyer who gives enough of a shit to sue me over this right now.

Warnings and spoilers: Warningswise this is about the state of the world right now and might be stressful if you're already not managing that well; it's not written to *be* stressful but if you're trying to avoid most of the news, it might not be a good idea. Also AtOG was never a fic that pretended that anyone, even children, escapes the worst in the world, so there's that. Spoilers - well, for AtOG and Grey, it would not be a good idea to read this of that verse first?

Summary: It matters not just to survive this but to survive it right.
