   Summary

   Steph and Cass are approached by the JL for a mission only the two of them can go on. Even though neither are excited to do the mission they surprisingly agree to it. Things go sideways in a way no one expects and they don’t know what to do.

   After things have finally settled down Steph is forced to confront the recent developments in her and Cass’ relationship as well as her feelings.

    

   Honestly I just wanted an excuse to write angst with my favorite ship. Hope you guys like it.
