“I was thinking about stopping in Chicago for a few days.”
Patrick blinks. “Oh.”
“We’ll be gone for a while,” Jim continues, “and with time differences and stuff, it’ll be harder to, you know. Talk. And I just, um.” He gives a small, self-conscious laugh. “Well. I wanted to see you.”

Summary
They haven’t talked since the—well. Patrick wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to talk to Billie again, not without his brain screaming at him, You know what his mouth feels like.

Summary
A teenage vow in a parking lot.
He thought Pete was different. He thought Pete loved and lost and moved on like it was easy, like there would always be someone around to fill that empty space.
It’s not like that at all, Patrick realizes. Maybe when Pete loses people, they take a little bit of Pete’s soul with them. Pete’s generous like that. So generous, it hurts.

Pete inhales. “Patrick,” he says seriously, “it’s totally normal to have a crush on your brother.”
Now Patrick looks at him disbelievingly. “What the fuck, Pete, no it’s not.”

Summary
“Tell me you’d like boys like me better,” Patrick sings.
Pete approaches with slow, measured steps. His gaze is dark, immense, like the deep center of a lake. Patrick, against his better judgment, watches the shape of his mouth as he sings, “In the dark, lying on top of you.”

Summary
Miguel is—well. Now that Miles thinks about it, he’s not sure what kind of label would suit them. Colleagues, he supposes, but that sounds so weirdly professional. Teammates, though they’ve yet to really work together after the whole ordeal with the Spot.
Enemies, once.
But friends? That’s… new.
Or: Miles texts Miguel. After everything.

Summary
Miles stares, thoughts running through his head far louder than his common sense which is currently screaming don’t don’t don’t as he bends down, opens his mouth—
—and bites Miguel on the neck.

Summary
Handsome, Miles thinks. His heart gives another thump. He didn’t have the chance to notice it before. It’s not exactly an ideal time to realize this now, either, but that doesn’t stop the thought from rising to his mind and staying there.
Oh man. What is he doing?

Summary
Maybe Alhaitham had just been imagining things. He took a breath and looked in the mirror again.
No. There they were: two great bird’s wings, protruding from his back.

Summary
“What,” Alhaitham said, “is that?”
Cyno didn’t look up from where he was seated, reading a handwritten card.
“Flowers,” he said helpfully.
A colorful bouquet of them, sitting in a glass vase on the corner of Cyno’s desk.

Summary
Ostensibly, sleeping together will help with tomorrow’s Drift compatibility test—their minds will be clear, their focuses sharp, and all extraneous feelings and thoughts swept away. All the better for the neural handshake to be successful, which is really all that matters, both to them and the higher ups hoping to get the Jaeger Hermanubis back on the active roster.
But if Cyno were honest, it’s not about the compatibility test at all.
He just can’t take the anticipation anymore.

Summary
Alhaitham starts shrugging off his jacket.
“What are you doing?” Cyno says.
“We haven’t exhausted all of our options in Sumeru just yet.” Alhaitham tugs off his boots and places them near his abandoned jacket. He takes a polearm of his own, then meets Cyno in the middle of the padded training mat.
Cyno has never seen Alhaitham in anything but full uniform. Without the jacket, he wears a fitted black top, sleeveless. The muscles of his arms flex as he adjusts his grip around his polearm. His form is one long, lithe line—he doesn’t look like someone who sits at a desk all day.
Cyno needs a copilot. Alhaitham helps.

Summary
At the celebration feast, Nilou asked Cyno if he would be happy continuing to be the General Mahamatra.
Cyno said, “It’s not about being happy. There are merely a lot of things that I must do.”
Alhaitham can’t say for certain why Cyno’s words bothered him. In a way, the sentiment is unsurprising; Cyno is, after all, dutiful to a fault. It makes sense that he puts his work over himself. Even so, Alhaitham wonders what the shape of Cyno’s happiness would be, if he allowed it to take form. If he ever allowed someone like Alhaitham to witness it.
Which he certainly never would.
Or: In the midst of the Akademiya’s rebuilding, Nahida sends her closest advisors on a trip through Sumeru.

Summary
Gingerly, Cyno sat up and glanced around. The room was destroyed. All around him were the remains of collapsed pillars and chunks of rock from the walls and ceiling. Some glowing embers from the fire remained, providing the barest of light sources. Just enough for him to get a sense of his surroundings, and for him to see—
“Alhaitham,” Cyno breathed, and hurried to the man slumped against a wall.

Summary
“Do you trust her?” Cyno asked.
“We have shared goals,” Alhaitham said, turning to the next page of his book. “Trust isn’t imperative.”

“You’re sick?” Peter rounded on Matt. He touched the back of his hand to Matt’s forehead.
Matt was burning up.
