    Summary

    “Who’s gonna be there?” Sydney asks.

    “All of New York," Carmy says. "Everybody. Say yes.”

    “Only so you stop begging.”

    He doesn’t smile, but it’s something close to it, like he’s trying not to. She can’t with him. “Cool. Great.”

    “Cool,” she echoes, because if she says anything else it might be something stupid like I’m in love with you. “Great.”

    (Carmy is invited to a book launch in New York City. Obviously he invites Sydney as his plus one -- season 2 au)

    Summary

    Grace has settled into his life on Erid, barring a few...minor hiccups, he'll call them. He keeps postponing his decision on whether or not to go back to Earth, and now so many years have passed that he thinks the decision may have been made for him.

    That is, until Rocky comes to him with a new idea. One that Grace really, really doesn't like.

    Summary

    “Wait, wait! Just- please,” he says, nothing short of begging, grasping a loose hand around Robby’s upper arm before releasing just as quickly. “I’m sorry, I’m- please. I’m trying.”

    Robby stares at their hands, Frank’s still extended out to him, but fingers curled inward. Frank can see the subtle tick of Robby’s jaw, revealing something ugly. “That’s not good enough for me.”

    This job will fuck you up if you let it. You let it.

    Or, Frank's no good very bad first day back at PTMC.

    Summary

    He must have gotten up too fast because his head spins in that light way it does when blood pressure doesn’t keep up. The adrenaline hasn’t settled out yet because his hands are still shaking, in fact all of him is still shaking. Why hasn’t he caught his breath yet? He presses a hand against the pinch in his chest like that might help. And why does it feel like there’s a rod jammed low in his sternum–

    “Oh, fuck,” she says, her gaze sweeping him up and down.

    He glances down to see what’s upset her – maybe she’s just offended that his cologne rubbed off on her or afraid he’ll blame her for the minor road rash that stings all the way up his left arm–

    “Oh –” the knot in his chest is actually a hole and it’s bleeding over his hand “– fuck.”

    ~

    or Frank is having a bad day at work. and then he gets shot.
