    Summary

    Jack was poised for a beautiful three-pointer when Jake spoke, "So, hey, what's it feel like to get fucked?"

    The surprise of it scattered his focus for an instant, but figuring that was what Jake wanted, Jack let muscle memory pull him through, releasing the basketball—and getting nothing but net, fuck yeah.

    Then he looked over at Jake and tipped his head, nonchalant. "Vulnerable."

    Summary

    A tenth of what keeps California running hails from the hearth of this modern relic. It’s legitimately riveting. The scale of it is nearly unfathomable.

    How is it possible that Tommy's the same age as this monolith of the nuclear age? It jars him, it humbles him. Both of them have spent forty years going and going, not stopping for breath.

    Tommy and Evan find each other again. All it takes is a power plant, a corrupt fire chief, and a couple of exes.

    Summary

    They're gonna crucify me anyway
    What if the way you hold me
    Is actually what's holy?

    “It won't feel like relief for a while,” she tells him, quietly. “But try to unclench your jaw every once in a while. Helps the constant headache.”

    Tommy tries to outrun shame and ends up finding himself (and Evan Buckley).

    Summary

    "Evan," Tommy says, and the brittle look on his face makes Buck stop laughing right then and there. "What's going on?"

    "Oh, you know," Buck says. "I'm being evicted."

    Buck doesn't find a new home. He makes it.

    Summary

    Hen elongates her torso as she lifts her shirt up to the bottom of her sports bra. The stretch emphasizes the bumps of her ribcage, and Karen helpfully presses a finger right below the pink-brown welt of scar tissue. The keloid, which seems to be having a tough time healing correctly, represents the place that Captain Nash stuck his finger into Hen’s body to help re-inflate her left lung. Evan stares at it in awe, like someone might look at a newborn baby.
