SUMMARY: “So you're saying humans need fantasies to make life bearable?” Susan Sto Helit asked her grandfather on the TV screen.
“No. Humans need fantasy to be human,” said Death.
Darcy couldn't say what alerted her to the fact that someone else was not to so much in the room as standing behind her and staring. Some part of her lizard-brain finally woke up and she turned slightly, saw a figure, jumped and flailed and went, “Augh!” like the totally smooth superhero sidekick she was.
James Barnes winced.

Just because Darcy was currently at Stark Tower was no reason to break her Christmas tradition of watching Hogfather. But this year, she gained company in the shape of a recovering former assassin.
