Story Notes: Happy Secret Santa fic, trevino! This is S6, and I think I managed to hit Fix-It, Hurt/Comfort, and Slow Burn? Definitely all about the Hurt/Comfort.
The title of this fic is adapted from “Lady Lazarus” by Sylvia Plath https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/49000/lady-lazarus (the full lines are "Dying / Is an art, like everything else. / I do it exceptionally well.")
Some dialogue from Bargaining Part 1, Bargaining Part 2, and Afterlife. I think anyway. Definitely some from Afterlife.
Many thanks to alittlemoretime for betaing and to MillennialCryBaby for the stunning banner. <3
