Summary
She introduces him as their leading Astrophage expert. He swallows the liquorice dangling from his lips and tries to hide his shirt – apparently featuring an obese cat – under his lab coat as he comes over to greet them.
"Why does he speak to us like we are children?"
"No matter. You get used to it."
Or: The one where Eva Stratt finally lets her guard down long enough to remember what she’s actually fighting to save.

Summary
A few weeks after starting the Nice Guys agency March gets drunk, Healy gets a strange inkling, and Holly watches The Parent Trap.
Not for the first time, Jackson wonders why he agreed to this partnership. But there’s something he can’t quite put his finger on, something about the soft, hapless, helpless way March loves his daughter and knows what a screwup he is, that makes something funny happen inside Jackson’s chest. He hasn’t eaten yet today but it feels almost like his stomach is twisting, like he’s about to do something stupid and completely out of his own control even though Jackson Healy has always prided himself on how well he keeps himself under control.
Not food poisoning, Jackson thinks. March poisoning.

March doesn’t understand why Healy’s stuck around this long. He can’t do anything right, surely he’s not worth the hassle?Series

Summary
“You should’ve been a nurse.” Healy smirked, a glaringly obvious joke. “Such stellar bedside manner.”
March snorted at him, sliding a finger lightly over the cuts in Healy’s hand, “don’t think I’d suit the uniform, man.”
“Well,” Healy said quietly, as if he was speaking to himself more than anything, “I don’t know if I’d say that.”

The Side Effects of Sobriety (They Didn’t Warn Me About You) by Lucky_Van084

Summary
Holland March has been stone cold sober for almost two months, shockingly enough.
It’s been rough but manageable all things considered, the shaking, the headaches, the nausea and insomnia, it’s all relatively easy when he reminds himself all the reasons he’s doing it, for Holly and the cautious, faintly hopeful look in her eyes that gets bigger everyday.
The uncontrollable raging urge to kiss Jackson Healy at pretty much every turn? That’s going to his undoing
If someone had warned him that the side effects of sobriety included wanting to kiss the living daylights out of your business partner, he- well, he still would have gone through with it but it would have been nice to have the warning.
