Summary
“Well come on, tell me. Maybe I can help you.” Monica pulls him towards her, holding his hands gently. “Just cus we had sex doesn’t mean I don’t want to help you with your love life. And it’s not pathetic to be hung up on someone, you know that, right? Besides, you know I give good advice." She ends sternly, eyes narrowing at him.
Or,
After London, Monica and Chandler talk, learn that they're both in love with their roommates, and make a bet about who's better at matchmaking. Shenanigans and Tomfoolery ensue.

Summary
Joey's always known who he is, but knowing who you are and having the courage to share that with someone are two different things.
This will probably make more sense if you read part 1, but it's not necessary.

Summary
Joey steps out the door of his apartment. He smiles, waves slightly, and opens his mouth and–
“I need you to kiss me.”
Rachel cuts him off before he can start. This is what she needs. This’ll work, it has to work, and then everything will go back to normal, and she can face Ross and Monica again, and it’ll all be fine.

Summary
Joey reaches towards the tap, turning off the water, one hand still on Chandler’s knee, balancing.
“Okay, ya ready?”
Chandler sighs, and looks towards the tub. He can feel the warmth of the water from where he’s perched, steamy air inviting and enveloping him, but he can’t muster up the energy to move. To take his shirt off, much less undress completely. To slip into the warm water and hope that it washes away his sweat and his mopery.
But he can’t move.
OR,
Chandler's depressed, and Joey helps him by giving him a bath.

Summary
He finds it under the couch. Eddie’s not entirely sure how it got there, but he pulls it out and shakes it off, folding it and placing it on the counter, next to his binder of Hellfire notes (and song lyrics, and to-do lists, and cool concepts he needs to work on) so that he can’t forget it when he leaves tomorrow. It’s a beautiful coat, very obviously well-made and expensive, durable and sturdy, but also soft. Eddie’s also not entirely sure how Steve manages to keep losing/forgetting/leaving it at Eddie’s, but he does.
or, Selkie Steve keeps hiding his pelt at Eddie's
