    Summary

    Roy freezes. His shoulders go up, his eyes are pointing straight ahead, and he looks — fucking — Jesus —

    "Mum," he croaks, gripping a kit so tight his knuckles are the same shade as the pale lettering. He sets it down, and turns to...apparently, his mum.

    Summary

    "He was so hot it was crazy. He had the kamikaze in him. His abs tasted like candy, and gasoline, and elbow grease, and danger. It's not fair, dammit!"

    "I'm gonna hurl."

    Summary

    The first thing Roy remembers is Warsaw—the ghetto, during the war. Waking up from nothing, hearing cries around him and bombs in the distance. Looking up, and seeing his grandad's kind face for the first time.

    With his face pressed against the thick glass of his window, looking out at the stars, Roy thinks of this, because he wishes he could feel a fucking ounce of that compassion now.

    Summary

    "Hey, Riz!" Fig shouts, kicking down the door to Riz's office. "Me and Kristen and Tracker are taking Ayda to Basrar's! We're gonna show her all the ice creams this stupid country has to offer! Are you coming, or are you coming?"

    Even though it can be super annoying, Riz really appreciates how his friends and family sometimes check in on him. Fig especially.

    Summary

    Leslie sighs. "He's a good pianist. You don't have to talk. You don't even have to look at each other. I think we could all have a lot of fun together. This will be good for him; for both of you."

    He walks back out into the living room with the wine and some glasses. In the name of spite, he goes right up to the piano, where Jamie is sitting, doing some scales, and loudly says, "Thanks so much for coming, Jamie, it's lovely to have you. Do you fancy a glass of wine?"

    Summary

    "Well, shit. Should have you do my wedding. Since you know fucking everyone in the fucking world, apparently."

    Roy resists the urge to have the bartender pour him another drink, just so he can throw it in Jamie's face.

    Summary

    David's thinking about his next move—either he'll throw cards into a hat, or call his girlfriend and bicker over who's going out in the cold to visit the other—when the doorbell rings.

    "Who is it?" David shouts.

    "Dean Campbell," a very butch voice calls back.

    Summary

    Stashwick stops a couple steps in front of Roy and Jamie. He takes a breath, and nods. "Roy," he says. It barely sounds like an insult. Maybe Roy can do this.

    "Doug." Fucking shit. That was definitely a growl.

    The twat smiles. "Fuck, it's good to see you, kid." He grabs Roy's shoulder, and sticks out his hand.

    Summary

    Jamie glances at his blood-stained hoodie and frowns. At least the last time he confessed his love, he was wearing a suit.

    Turns out how they're dressed doesn’t matter much, in the end. The two of 'em might as well be wearing shirts that say ‘I’m with stupid’.

    -

    Five accidental dates, or: four times Jamie makes an effort to dress for the occasion, and one time he doesn’t put nearly enough thought into what he wears.

    Summary

    "Okay, so, you with a bun in the oven. What makes it sound so dreamy?" Dean asks, genuinely interested.

    Cas sighs. "I've done a lot of bad. I've hurt a lot of people. Ended a lot of lives. It'd be nice to start one."

    Summary

    Roy shakes his head. What an arsehole, he thinks. Jamie fucking Tartt, the prick kissed by God. Roy prides himself on not being a repressed dickhead, but Jesus's fucking cock, he's been having all kinds of nasty thoughts about that twatty fuck. He can't even make sense of them.

    Summary

    "Say it again!" Roy demanded. "Fucking say it again! It'll be music to my fucking ears! Say it—"

    Pollock did like Roy said, with a cruel grin, like he as the pissed gay-basher had the upper hand. Roy burst into motion—stepping forward and widening his stance and swinging his arm up and across.

    Then there was blood. A lot—a lot—of blood. Jamie jolted, gripping the tablecloth tight.

    Summary

    Roy's been running Jamie fucking ragged.

    As much as it entertains him, he's not doing it for no fucking reason. Really, he's doing it out of the kindness of his heart. This is a mitzvah for the club, the fans, and most of all, Jamie.

    "You ever gonna fucking tell me what the fucking point of all this is?" Jamie shouts, gasping for air, fucking angry, and in tears—from exhaustion, or frustration, who knows?

    Summary

    So when Jamie got the call from Roy’s sister, and an astoundingly clever and important little girl invited him to a sweet and silly little celebration, just them four — that was that, really. He didn’t think too hard about it. Two hours of travel to get here in the middle of a whirlwind training with the fucking National team and he follows the draw, the pull, the immeasurable force guiding him here. Not a single thought of protest, of resistance, even occurred to him. He just made it happen.

    He’s really fucking gone, ain’t he?

    Summary

    Sitting there—far too late, heartbroken and strangely relieved, all bitterness washed away by good food and commiseration—for the first time, they really feel like what they are, what they have been for a while, what everyone else knows them to be.

    They feel like best friends.

    -

    Roy and Jamie's friendship, from 2022 to 2030.

    Summary

    "Why're you acting like we're mates all of the sudden?" Jamie breathes, daring to look back at Roy.

    He smiles again. "You're actually kind of fun, when you're not being a prick. And…"

    Roy opens and closes his mouth, and shakes his head around a bit. His eyes dart this way and that, as if the answer he's trying to give Jamie might be written on the walls.

    "You said that your dad calls you soft…" he begins, and fuck, Jamie really wishes he began somewhere else. "I know what that's code for. I'm…I'm soft, too."

    -

    Jamie and Roy hang out after the bonfire. Shit gets real.

    Summary

    "Hey," Cas rumbles. "Hanukkah is a few weeks away. Would you like to celebrate? For the first time in nearly forty years, you have nothing to do during Hanukkah. No one to fight. It seems fitting to celebrate a holiday about triumph...survival...victory over those who have wronged you."

    Dean opens his eyes and smirks. "And?"

    "And I haven't had latkes since they were made with turnips. The last time I played dreidel, it was with Uriel in the 19th century."

    -

    Dean and Cas discuss celebrating Hanukkah. They reflect on their relationship, their shortcomings, and their growth. They laugh, they cry. They have a tickle fight.

    Summary

    She ponders the textures and flavors of this supposed sandwich—

    What in the world?

    That sounds like Dean's voice, but she doesn't think she's ever heard him laugh like that.

    She looks over at the forth booth down, against the window, her and Dean's usual table, and sees—

    -

    Rabbi Miriam walks to a diner for her weekly lunch with Dean. She is delightfully surprised.
