Summary
A goalie can learn a lot about someone’s play from watching them for upwards of ten years. It actually functions as a pretty good empathy-builder— Robin can have a disastrous turnover right in front of the net, but Nancy was there back when she was doing that all the time. Nancy, nowadays, has a well-developed sense of empathy and perspective when it comes to Robin.
She does.

Summary
Mike looks at him, appraising.
“Funny we didn’t run into you,” Mike says. “Like, at all.”
“Well, I’m not the one with a hit in the LLWS.”
Mike looks startled, uncomfortable. The bad part of Jonathan almost wants to poke at it, this raw and ugly scrape, because Jonathan knows that look like the back of his hand. It’s also because of that familiarity, that deja vu to a failed day at the beach, that Jonathan decides to take pity on him.
“Sixth round, two years of college, minor leagues,” Jonathan explains. “I was easy to miss.”

Summary

Robin isn’t.

Summary
The stuff that always gets Matt is the simple stuff: the way if you forget to change one of the bathroom lightbulbs, eventually the other will go dark, and maybe that wouldn’t be a problem if you’d remembered to have lightbulbs in the dry-rotted cabinet under the bathroom sink, but you didn’t, because you never can keep the right wattage straight in your head. And then that leaves you wondering how you can be halfway decent at math (which you are) if you can’t recall the mundane details of a grocery list.
Matt doesn’t know if he’s more than halfway decent at anything.

Summary
Chuck buys Henry his first bowtie and a three-piece purple suit to match.
Dan buys Henry his first baseball glove and comes over every Friday afternoon to play catch.
Blair watches them play together and keeps thinking back to when she'd asked Dan if he didn't think it would matter that her baby was another man's child so many years ago.
She remembers how, in that much too earnest way of his, he'd said, "It wouldn't to me."

Summary
Amis House might not be the biggest student co-op, or the fanciest, but it's got something all its own. Specifically, smoke damage on the kitchen ceiling from that time Courfeyrac lit a political pamphlet on fire.
In which there are secrets, pining, pancakes, and revelations, and sometimes the shortest distance between three points is not a triangle but a circle.
