Summary
All in all, Jim considers Spock’s Pon Farr an almost success. No one died (permanently), at least. And now the Enterprise is warping away from Vulcan and its memories to engage in a new (and hopefully less bloody) surveying mission. So, yeah, maybe not the most ideal outcome, but it certainly could have been worse.
So why is it that he can't sleep and Spock can hardly look him in the eye anymore?
Professional and personal feelings begin to collapse in on themselves as Jim struggles to repair the fissure opening up between himself and Spock. Because, really, it doesn't matter he thought he'd died for a bit there. Not at all. And Spock? He’s just trying to survive this new reality where he now knows the precise amount of pressure to apply to strangle the air from his captain’s - his closest friend's - throat.
Space is a greedy vacuum, one that rips away everything. But even in the most inhospitable of environments, things can still grow.
Or a Spirk slow-burn in which Jim and Spock both have lingering trauma from what happened on Vulcan.

Summary
Dutch van der Linde hasn't a clue where his life is leading or what the future holds. Thus far he's been content robbing, conning, and never, ever, being the savior. However, when he and Hosea stumble upon a fourteen-year-old street pup named Arthur Morgan, a new plan begins to form as they strive for bigger scores and, somehow, also pick up a ramshackled little family.
Or, a completely canon compliant tracing of the Van der Linde gang from Arthur's first meeting with Dutch and Hosea through to Blackwater.

Summary
Ever since that final night in Beaver Hollow, Dutch has the same dream. He's wandering in the dark and comes across a familiar face sitting at a campfire. It should be a bittersweet reunion, that of two old friends, but instead it always becomes an argument over those failures and wrongdoings that splattered the last six months thick at blood from an artery. Because Dutch can only say so many times that Arthur dying wasn't his fault. Hosea disagrees
Or, what would Hosea have said about Dutch abandoning Arthur up on that cliff if he'd gotten the chance?
