McCone just wants a drink. And to forget everything that’s ever happened to him.

Summary
In early 2020, Ben Richards meets a man he only knows as Evan. And maybe falls in love with him.
In late 2025, Ben Richards meets Chief Hunter McCone while on the run from the entire fucking nation.
There's no way these two events are at all related. Right?

Summary
Dr. Bradshaw scans Jake’s file, no doubt seeing the long list of previous visits, ranging from a fishing hook in his hand (an unfortunate accident) to when he collapsed from dehydration (he had an undiagnosed bout of bronchitis). He glances back at Jake, keeping his face tilted down. The whole thing shows Jake just how long the doctor’s eyelashes are.
“Yes, I can see you have more tenure here than I do. Rest assured, Mr. Seresin. You’re in good hands.”

Summary
“I’m in love with a man who wears jorts,” Jake deadpans, “I can’t sink any lower.”
“You saw your dad’s frosted tips, right?” Mav snorts.
I heard that pings on both their phones, and then You loved my hair, honey.
“Please don’t flirt in the group chat,” Jake groans and he escapes to make dinner. He’ll do better tomorrow.

Summary
Everything that happens on the carrier is clockwork; there’s no variation that Jake has noticed in anyone’s behavior or actions unless he initiates something. The changes he effects are inconsequential and the end result is always the same: Bradley dies.
And dies. And dies.
(Jake gets another chance at the mission, and then another, and another. At a certain point they stop feeling like chances and more like foregone conclusions.)

Summary
The bell above the door jingled, alerting Bradley that someone had entered the shop. He ducked out of the back room to find two brick walls worth of men shutting the door behind them. Sighing a little at the intrusion, despite it still being opening hours, Bradley took up position behind the counter and pasted on his best customer service smile.
Or: Bradley and Jake's first meeting goes a little bit different when there's no rivalry to stop them from aggressively falling head over heels for one another
