Summary
he knew what Jackson was when he arrived the second time. a communal, a place where everyone chips in. it's why he doesn't turn his nose up when he's given menial tasks. one of which, is fixing his neighbour's porch. his neighbour, who is pretty and smiles too sweetly, bakes cakes for special birthdays, and stares at the toolbox he's been given with a haunted look, one which raises more questions than answers.

Summary
"If we hold that equivalent exchange persists in this space then we must give something of ourselves in order to build something new..."
Overworked and understaffed at the end of her last slingback out to Bakhroma Green, the Chief Medical Technician for Kaslo Freighting hauls herself out to what had better be the line's final pickup. It's only supposed to be a routine check, making sure no one's dead or dying in a way that might reflect poorly on the corp's reputation. But the people inside the pod are nothing like she's expecting, wounded in ways beyond her capacity to heal. She isn't one to get attached, but...there's something about the cagey, clever teenager and the wily, charismatic prospector who definitely isn't the man he's supposed to be.
But she isn't all she claims to be, herself. And maybe, in finding a way to help them mend what's been broken, they might just help her do the same.
