   Summary

   Mac comes out in the brig of the cruise ship and Dennis starts to feel again. He’s not exactly sure what, but it feels like something he’s spent decades pushing away. And for the first time in a very long time, it might even be real.

   or-

   Dennis Reynolds is forced to confront his feelings, the vulnerability that comes with them, and the man who’s somehow loved him through all of it.
