Summary
Jake bet fifty-fifty on whether he was going to enjoy this conversation and stepped up to the passenger side door just as the window rolled down. He was greeted with a warm, smiling, moustachioed face which took him off guard. Though Jake didn’t recognise the driver, something about him verged upon familiar. His smile faltered as his gaze flitted over Jake’s face, eyes tightening in a way Jake didn’t want to overanalyse, but it made him seem no less friendly overall.
“Where you headed?”
“Closest ranch,” Jake replied, trying to keep his tone neutral as he made the snap decision to not identify himself for reasons he would rather not think about.
or... little bit of homecoming, whole lot of drama

Summary
" So fun fact about Bradley Bradshaw. Most people wouldn’t guess it looking at him, he presents as a stereotype of the hyper-masculine men of the 1980s. But when he’s stressed beyond belief, he bakes. It’s a coping mechanism that he picked up from his mother as a child, something that started as a way to bond with her and then when she got sick, turned into a way for him to find something he could control. And having something to put a smile on her face, even through the worst of her treatments, at the end of it was definitely worth all of the effort.
So for as long as most of the people in his life have known him, Bradley Bradshaw has turned to a hot oven and a mixing bowl when nothing in life quite makes sense. And, well…that leads to quite a few things. "

Summary
Rooster was just thankful to be alive. Really, he was! He was repairing his relationship with Mav, and it was great that he didn’t get shot down a second time on the mission. Frankly, he just wanted a nice, calm night celebrating at the Hard Deck.
But apparently not, since some asshole wouldn’t leave an uncomfortable-looking Hangman alone. And damn, Rooster wasn’t going to stand for that.

Summary
“That’s what friends do, right? Help each other out?”
“Fine,” Jake says. “But you’re not going to embarrass me, alright? You’re wearing a suit - a decent one -” he holds up a finger when Bradley starts to interject. “And you’re playing nice with my family. I’m not bringing home a boyfriend - real or not - that they’d hate. Got it?”
There’s a smirk tugging at his lips now. Jake can see a hint of it in the twitch of his mustache, a twinkle in his eyes, but Bradley just shrugs. “Okay.”
