Summary
“I’m- I can’t convince myself to commit to a longer stay,” Robby admits, frustrated by it. “It’d be better for actually getting somewhere with antidepressants, I know, but I feel like once I take away the work and the bike and everything else I do… there’s a clock on how long I can be naked like that. When it runs out, if I’m not back on the right side, I’ll get stuck as nothing, forever.” Robby drops his face into his hand. “Why does this sound like The Little Mermaid?” he moans.
“Is this the kind of place where they throw a black bag over your head and smash your SIM card, or can I still talk to you?” Jack asks.
~After a scare on his road trip, Robby does two weeks of inpatient care in Wisconsin... and you'll never guess who he uses his phone time on~

Dana caught him dozing in the rocking chair, Baby Jane Doe still in his arms.
“36 hours, max,” she said, which is how Robby ended up in an Uber with two bags of baby gear.

Esther looked at him steadily for a long moment, and then took her glasses off. "And you think this isn't a therapy question, Michael?"
(After the Fourth of July, Robby grapples with making a new path forward, with Jack at his side.)

Summary
Robby keeps hearing about Jack's love life second-hand. Which is weird, given that he didn't think Jack even had one. Turns out, Robby is just the last to know, even though Jack is his best friend. What gives?

Summary
Robby follows him as Jack starts working on the coffee, taking a seat at the peninsula that divides the kitchen from the rest of the apartment.
“You still like it burned or have you gotten better taste since last time?” he teases, throwing a quick glance at Robby, who makes a face at him.
They don’t do this often, crashing at each others’ places. Jack honestly can’t remember when exactly that last time was. Close to a year, he thinks, a Pirates game with a rain delay that then went into extra innings. It’s not that they don’t hang out when their schedules allow for it, it’s just that there’s always been more of a distance in their relationship outside work, like somehow the halls (and roof) of PTMC allow for more vulnerability than the halls of their own homes.
“At this point I'll take whatever you give me and I'll like it,” Robby says, definitely with a grimace this time.

Summary
Robby wanted to reassure him, to reach for the words that he knew he had, to explain that Jack didn’t need to worry, nobody needed to worry, that this wasn’t a midlife crisis or a lack of attachment to his continued existence, that everything was always happening all the time, that sometimes walking into the Pitt felt like choking on something acrid burning in his chest, that his thoughts were always racing and people were always asking him things and he just wanted to escape, feel nothing in his chest but the rumble of asphalt and engine beneath him, the wind rushing in his ears and drowning out the alarms that hovered at the edges of his perception like hungry ghosts, and he was an eloquent goddamned man, he knew he was, but he couldn’t find the words. The layer of glass between him and the world, him and the man he wanted to be, him and the man everyone deserved — it was thick, leaded, double-glazed, institutional, a thin mesh of wires wrought through it to prevent it from shattering or being pierced with a bullet.Or: Robby buys a motorcycle. Jack does not approve.

"A glimpse through an interstice caught . . .
There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little, perhaps not a word."

Summary
Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"
"MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.
Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.
And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."

Summary
“Say you got married,” Robby found himself asking. “Would you wear your dress blues? Or civilian clothes?”
It had only been an idle thought, no different than any number of easy, directionless musings of the sort that often came over the two of them on mornings like this one, when no one had a shift to go to for at least thirty-six hours. Robby didn’t mean anything by it. But he regretted the words the instant they left his mouth, even before he saw the incredulous grin slide over Jack’s face.
“Say I got married?”

Summary
“Lily,” Hayden says automatically. “You know about Lily?”
Something flickers across Rozanov’s face. His jaw twitches. “Yes, I know about Lily.” He raises his eyebrows.
Hayden feels like a complete asshole, all of a sudden. There’s just been too much going on to even think about Shane’s mystery girlfriend. “Shit, I should probably, like, call her, or something? I don’t know this girl at all, but Shane’s been obsessed with her for years. If she was watching the game, she would have seen him get hurt.”
“You don’t need to call her,” Rozanov says, and when Hayden glances at him, he still looks fucking miserable but now he’s rolling his eyes, a much more familiar expression of disdain on his face. “She’s sitting right here.”

“I don’t hate him!” Hayden says, which is only true because hate doesn’t quite capture it. No, he despises Rozanov. In his defense, everyone with a pulse and without the last name Hollander does.

Summary
Shane doesn’t say he’s overwhelmed.
He never does.
He shows up instead—later than planned, jaw tight, movements clipped like every second is being audited. His bag lands by the door with more force than necessary. He stands there for a moment too long, as if waiting for instructions he hasn’t been given.
Ilya clocks it immediately.
“Hey,” he says gently, already closing the distance. “Come here.”
Shane shakes his head once, sharp. “Just—give me a minute.”
Ilya gives him thirty seconds.
Then he takes Shane’s wrist—not tight, not demanding—and guides him further into the apartment. “Shoes off,” he says, voice calm, certain. “Jacket too.”or
Ilya takes care of an overwhelmed and overstimulated Shane by letting him float away into subspace for a bit.

Summary
“I did not … know what happened. You touched over my pants, kissed my stomach. Went into my lap.” Ilya gestures with his free hand like he’s grasping for a word he can’t find, just out of reach. “Something was different.”
Shane can’t say he remembers all that in as much clarity as Ilya does – the whole day is a bit of a blur in his mind.
“We were having fun afternoon. Sex and naps and talking. And then I touched your hair and you went somewhere. Scared me, a little bit.”
Blinking and still not understanding, Shane repeats, “I went somewhere?”
Reaching over, Ilya picks up the booklet. One handed, he holds it against his thigh and flips to a page around halfway through with the word Subspace in bold at the top. He taps it with his forefinger. “Went here, I think.”
Shane experiences a sub-drop without knowing what's happening. Ilya doesn't know either, so he makes it his mission to find out.

"Whose dick was Hollander gonna fuck her with anyway?” O'Connell says.
“What’d you mean?” the other guy asks.
“Asian dick, man.” O’Connell pinches his forefinger and thumb together. “No fucking chance that thing is big enough.”
Is plenty big, Ilya nearly says, before catching the tip of his tongue between his teeth.

Summary
“Do you want to know how it feels?”
Shane let his hand fall back to the couch. He pushed himself up onto his elbows and lifted a brow at Rozanov. “What – holding the Cup? You’ve already made that joke once.”
“No.” Rozanov’s fingers encircled Shane’s wrist and then he was pulling Shane’s hand between his legs.
Or: Shane tops.
