Summary
As he keeps staring, he notices that there’s something off about the way Samira is breathing—almost like she’s having another panic attack. He starts forward in alarm, his vision focusing, sharpening.
From what he can see, her breath is coming in small pants, her head thrown back against the pillow, her mouth making small movements Robby supposes are cries for help. “Dammit, Jack, where the fuck are you?” he says aloud desperately, about to turn around and run down the hallway and pound on the door himself, when he catches a glimpse of exactly where Jack is and realizes he’s gotten it all wrong.

Summary
“What? It’s an emergency, she’s stranded. Plus you guys broke up forever ago. You’ve gotta be over it by now.”
Jonathan places a preemptive hand on his forehead, soothing away the headache he knows is coming. “Of course I’m over it, but that’s not the point.”
“Jonathan.” Will’s voice is serious. “She is stuck. In the city you live in. You want her sleeping on the floor of a bus station?”

Summary
Samira makes it almost halfway, stubbornly refusing to take the elevator, before her feet stop on the fourth step between the seventh and eighth floors. She can feel the blood pumping through her veins, the air rushing through her lungs, the strain in her hamstrings from too many days swiping away her Down Dog notifications, and she knows that she is alive.
She also knows that Orlando Diaz is not.

Summary
Samira is nothing if not a realist. She can accept, without rancor, that her feelings are hers alone, that they are not reciprocated and never will be. He’s her attending, he’s eleven years older than her – and, most importantly, she is nowhere near the caliber of woman that he deserves.
So she shouldn’t feel anything when he comes in one day, Al-Hashimi beside him, her hand resting on his back.

Summary
Dana likes riling ‘em up, Jack and Robby. Likes seeing how far they’ll go to court her affections.
Well — she’s not so sure it’s about affection, actually. Natural competition, sure. The good favor of the company’s most tenured principal girl, maybe.
The desire to pull her sweaty tights down her legs with their teeth, most probably.

or, the young Dana/Robby/Jack ballet AU.

Summary
Richie’s a better man now. He wears suits, he believes in himself and that feeling of dread isn’t as strong anymore. Maybe, everything else can get better too.
A story about recovering from grief and heartbreak, and believing that life can be better.
"The sound of laughter echoes against the din of the clean steel, and there’s booze and good food between them. Carmy is in his fucking element, showing off as he giddily shares samples of newly thought up concoctions. There’s something in how different Carmy seems, the centre of attention, using his food as his love language, captivating the crowd around him. For a second, Richie sees Michael in Carmy’s place. A tear threatens to cut through the laughter, so Richie just laughs harder, bringing up the beer to his lips to wash that little grief back down."
Warning: Swearing
