Summary
“This is so fucked,” Robby says, the laughter in his voice a cruel echo of the way he used to say that to Frank, the we’re-in-this-together exasperation of the ER’s worst days, and he drags his hand down his face to stop himself from flinching when he recognizes it. “Does your wife—”
“Don’t,” Frank says, voice sharper than Robby’s heard it all night. Sharper than he’s heard it in ten months, the sharpest it’s been since Frank had to dull the blade of it and turn it inwards to save his own hide. It’s a bark more than a spoken word, but Frank’s not a dog.
Dogs don’t talk, Robby thinks. Dogs don’t talk, and dogs don’t have wives.
It’s more fucked, Robby knows, that it’s the word wife rotating around in his skull and not her name. He knows her. He likes her, for god’s sake. He’s had holiday dinners at her table and shared fond eye-rolls across the appropriately-themed tablecloth at ridiculous things Frank’s said, that same we’re-in-this-together exasperation, and now — now Robby can’t even give her the dignity of thinking her name with his fingers in her husband’s mouth.
or: frank isn't very good at asking for forgiveness. robby isn't very good at granting it.

Summary
“There’s a great music store down the block. Tons of great restaurants, too, if you were ever—you know—if you wanted to do that.” Sadly, Jon had started to pull off the soiled t-shirt and changed into a shirt, his fingers shaking gently as he buttoned himself up. Remnants of leftover adrenaline zigzagging its way around his nervous system like speeding cars racing down backcountry roads. Potholed outskirts that caused a lack of inhibitions. That sort of thing. The thrill of the chase and the smell of Steve’s sweat and tears still in his sinuses, Steve could see it in the damp shine of Jon’s eyes as he pulled on a pair of jeans and watched as Steve slid his hand down his belly and into his pubes. His tongue dipped into his bottom lip as he continued to watch him, depressing the flesh in the centre as he zipped up his fly and muttered, “Get out of bed, Harrington.”
~*~
Stellar collision. That's what it felt like to let Jonathan lead him into bed in his pokey little apartment in New York. Something you didn't come back from.

Summary
Jon’s apartment smelt like overly rich coffee, maybe slightly overbrewed and tart, and a little bit like malignant mildew. Two things that shouldn’t have woven together to make Steve feel like he was at home, but he knew he would find himself missing the smell as soon as he got onto the plane home. It hopefully would linger in his nose as Jon clapped him on the back and sent him away at the end of his trip, and he would look at his face, the one he’d thrown his fist into with all the force he could handle when they were kids, and think about how much he would miss him. His apartment. The smell of his apartment.
The smell of him.
~*~
Steve finally visits Jon in his New York apartment.

Summary
The Captain - Edward ‘Ted’ Williamson - knows he’s not an easy person to love. After leaving the army and coming to terms with his own sexuality, he has found himself stuck in a rut, constantly making the same mistakes and falling in unrequited love with the wrong people. According to his therapist, he ‘self-sabotages’ by ‘burying his emotions’.
A tragedy leads to a bittersweet opportunity for a fresh start in a sleepy village, in a cottage with a yellow door and honeysuckle growing up the walls. There’s a disarming amount of room to breathe, and the chance to reluctantly be befriended by the eccentric locals.
