Summary
Connor Stern is not your average 28 year old.
First off, he has a bit of a drinking problem. Not quite an alcoholic, but if not monitored, he can be pretty stupid. Second of all, he has a disease. The Hanahaki disease, where flowers grow in your lungs because of unrequited love, and don't stop until you find love or suffocate. But Connor's never been in love. This is his mother's problem, passed to him. He hates it
If he isn't drinking to forget his problems, then he's usually at home. That is, until one night, where he passes out and a strange man finds him and brings him home.
Hank doesn't know what to make of the young man he finds in the road on a cold and rainy January night, or three days later as his partner at work. But what he does know is that the kid's brother won't stop glaring at him across the tables and he hasn't even had his coffee yet.
He's trying to be a good dad to his kid after a sucky divorce, but he's lonely. Maybe he doesn't have to be anymore.

I didn't choose archive warnings, but there's mentions of attempted assault and some gore from being police officers. Nothing too bad but I will put warnings on specific chapters.
