Summary
Robby walks out of the Pitt on the Fourth of July with his life shrunk down into two bags and finds himself in the dark--in an an apartment already stripped of everything his, trapped in his own head, in a maelstrom of guilt and regret.
Then Jack's texts arrive. And his last reason to stay dissolves.
He has always been the problem. Now he is going to do something about it.
Miles away, Jack answers a phone call in the middle of the night. Could he pull Robby back before it's too late? And what will be the cost of survival?Bookmarked by fleetwood_cam

Summary
Leaving Robby had felt like the only choice he could live with, on both occasions. It had been easier, at the time, to believe that distance was a form of protection...Therapy had a way of dismantling ideas like that. The more Jack talked about it, the more obvious it became that leaving hadn’t protected either of them from anything. It had only meant they spent years miserable in different places...
Still, the last two years had forced him to build something resembling a life again. Slowly, the routines of recovery gave way to something steadier. The anger that once filled his days dulled into something more manageable. Eventually, that quiet, empty apartment started to feel less like a refuge and more like a cage, and once that happened, the next step became obvious.
He needed to work again.
OR: Two years after leaving Robby for the second time, Jack feels ready to work again, landing a job at PTMC. When he discovers Robby also works there, they have to figure out how to exist together again, and whether the twelve years between them broke something permanent or just left something unfinished.
A continuation of "Half a World Away, and Already Halfway Gone".

Summary
I don’t know if you have ever had your torso scraped with a butter knife by your valet. There is not much in the experience to recommend it. Particularly when you suspect said valet is not entirely happy with you, and so wields the implement with more vim than strictly necessarily.
Or, the tale of how Bertie and Jeeves finally Confessed All to each other, despite – or, possibly, because of – the passion-dampening affects of Giant Squirts, thwarted wrestling, unhappy boating, rabbits (both of the Luminous and Dream varieties), an aunt who breakfasts on the ground bones of nephews who displease her, and a pair of very natty yellow socks.
