Summary
"A sea of whiskey couldn't intoxicate me as much as a drop of you." - J.S. Parker
An alternate ending to Season 2 after the confrontation over Nicte Batan - Tally Craven comes to an important realization; Sarah Alder, still head of the US Army, finds it increasingly difficult to deny feelings she's long repressed; and with a little help from those closest to them both, it's only a matter of time until the two collide.

Summary
For supposedly being one of the finest Knowers in decades, Tally often felt like she knew very little.
She didn't know how to process the dreams that kept her up at night since becoming un-biddied. Mothertongue, that was tough. Handling Raelle and Abigail's teasing about her life choices, that could be a lot.
And mostly, she definitely didn't have a clue how to handle having a debilitating attraction and world-class crush on the most powerful woman on the literal planet, who definitely would never feel the same way.
Anyway. It was fine. It was all just fine.
Or,
Tally's nightmares never stop; in fact, they become a form of emotional torture that keeps her up at night. Alder, in a twist, agrees to help Tally through late-night meetings, and Tally is faced with an entirely different kind of emotional torture.

Summary
Gail Peck is not "just" a Peck, but getting to reinvent yourself beyond your family when you've been born into the Peck Dynasty is not a simple nor easy journey. She probably wouldn't have ever bothered to change, but then there was Holly.
It's messy, it's complicated, but sometimes you come out the end a better person, snark intact.
