Summary
Frank has never been a good sleeper. It's a blessing and a curse in turn, but he's made peace with needing less sleep than anyone he's ever met.
And then he meets Mel King, and she changes that.
(She changes everything.)
OR — Over a series of late night talks, texts, FaceTimes, and maybe dates, Langdon and Mel fall in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.

Summary
One day he looks up from the scaffolding and realizes that he’s almost exactly at Jaeger height and has to wrap his hand tight against the metal to keep from stepping out into the air. Not because he wants to kill himself or anything, just because for a split second his mind felt that old equilibrium and he just knew he should be able to, should be able to walk straight across the valley in front of him and out into the sea and on forever until he finds whatever’s next.

Summary
Karen’s heart is finally starting to beat normally again when she hears the doorknob move. She’s not sure how long she’s been here, minutes, hours, when the door bangs open. Startled, she stumbles to her feet, one hand on the wall behind her as she loses her balance. Her body is in fight or flight mode instantly until the figure in the doorway takes form and it’s Frank.
“Where the hell did you go?”
At first she thinks it’s anger in his low, gruff voice, but as he comes closer to her, she’s shocked that all she sees in his eyes is frantic panic. His eyes are feverishly scanning her for visible injury, and then he’s standing right in front of her.[Frank loses track of Karen after an explosion and finds her at his place. His emotions come to the surface. One shot.]
