Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a city built half upon the water and wholly upon its own ambition must, sooner or later, marry someone for the difference.
Lumière had been doing so for the better part of a century, and with a bride's practised composure. Where the land gave out—and in Lumière the land was forever giving out, shrugging its wharves into the sea as though ashamed of them—the councils arranged what the tide would not provide: an alliance here, a settlement there, a good name wed to a good harbour, and both, it was generally agreed, the better for it. The city took money in as it took the sea in, through locks and gates and a great deal of careful engineering, and it let very little of either back out again.
Or:
The one where Verso is Mr Darcy, Gustave is Elizabeth Bennet, and Jane Austen probably has some questions for me. -

Summary
He had done the arithmetic at fourteen and believed the answer ever since: a man who wanted nothing could lose nothing.
He'd arrived at it honestly. His parents had coached—juniors, the cold-rink end of it, nothing glamorous—and they had loved him the ordinary, total way parents do, the way you never think to be grateful for because you assume it is simply the weather you live in. Then a drunk driver on an ordinary road took the weather away entirely, and for two years afterward Scott belonged to no one, which is a thing that happens to a boy and then never quite stops happening.
Or:
The one where fourteen-year-old Scott promises himself he'll never fall in love. And he keeps that promise... until he meets the one person who becomes his only exception. -

Summary
The trick to Jack Abbot's coffee was that there wasn't one, and Robby had learned it anyway.
At a quarter to six Robby was at the counter, hair still wet, scrub top inside-out, half-assembled for the day shift, when Jack wandered in. He had no business being awake—it was his night off—but years of working nights had worn the ordinary hours smooth in him, and he'd never quite managed to sleep through Robby's side of the bed going cold. So he got up, the way he always did the mornings he was home, to stand in the kitchen and see the man off. His coffee was waiting on the counter—black, scalding, two sugars he'd deny to his grave that he took. Robby had made it, the way Robby made it every morning Jack was home to drink it: the one with somewhere to be looking after the one without. Jack picked it up without breaking stride, the way you'd pick up your own hand. He didn't say thank you. Thank you was for strangers. He bumped his shoulder into Robby's on the way to the window and that was the whole sentence, subject and verb and object: you, here, this.
Or:
The one where Robby finds out that Jack has been receiving mail addressed to his late wife and decides to do something about it. -

Summary
Scott lifted his eyes to take the order, and made the mistake of looking at the kid's face.
And—stopped.
It was a stupid, total, machine-grinding-to-a-halt kind of stop, the milk pitcher hanging dumb in his hand. Because the kid was, objectively, a problem. Dark curls shoved back off his forehead like he'd done it with wet hands and given up, one already escaping to flop down again. Brown eyes that were currently very wide and aimed, with devastating sincerity, at Scott. Built—under the too-small hoodie—like something off a Soviet gymnastics poster, all that muscle packed onto five-foot-eight of pure disaster, which somehow read boyish instead of intimidating, like a golden retriever that had been to the gym and felt strongly about it. He smelled, faintly, of cedar and black pepper.
He was, in short, exactly Scott's type, head to toe, and Scott resented every inch of it instantly and on principle.
Or:
The one where Scott quit hockey to become a barista god and Kip is an awkward but charming rugby player who started frequenting Scott's coffee shop. -

Summary
The wind coming off the tarmac at JFK was biting, carrying the sharp, chemical tang of jet fuel, but Scott Hunter welcomed the cold. It was easier to focus on the physical sting against his cheeks than the hollow, aching cavern opening up inside his chest.
He pulled the collar of his custom-tailored wool coat up around his neck, adjusting the heavy strap of his duffel bag. Around him, the rest of the New York Admirals were loud and loose, a chaotic mass of expensive suits and oversized egos tossing bags to the charter crew.
Or:
The one where Scott and Kip break up, Scott flies to Canada for an away game, and everything goes horribly, catastrophically wrong.

Summary
Watching Buck drive without leaning over the console and throwing himself into Buck’s lap a truly Herculean task. Because, as Eddie realizes when Buck places his hand behind Eddie’s headrest to back out of the driveway, sleeves rolled up to his forearm and his biceps straining against the fabric, teeth flashing as he smiles at Eddie with all the adoration in the world, Buck is extremely hot when he drives.
Buck is there for him, in all the ways that matter, and Eddie finds it so sexy.
-----
The only thing getting worshipped in the church parking lot is Eddie's body in the back of Buck's Jeep.

Summary
The bullet misses Dr Jack Abbot’s vest by inches. It was just supposed to be another casual mission aiding the SWAT team as their physician. How did it go so wrong? He's been in Trauma 1 many times but never like this, never as the man lying bleeding on the bed.
When Robby sees that it's him who is wheeled in on the gurney, it takes all his strength to keep it together, even as his chest feels like it has been cracked wide open.

Summary
They sat there in silence for a few seconds before Robby rasped out, “You have to go- You have to go, they need you out there.”
Jack corrected him. “They need us out there.”
Another beat of silence.
“I can’t-“
Before Robby could finish that sentence, Jack was on his feet, he couldn’t do it; he couldn’t handle seeing Robby like this, defeated, almost like he had given up... It was too familiar, it couldn’t be.
He extended a hand to him. He was going to get up, and they were going to get through this day. Together.

What if it had been Abbot who found Robby in Pedes?

Summary
If he were at home, he’d be at the Pitt finishing up a shift, hoping whatever they were in the middle of would slow down long enough to round with Robby. But he wasn’t home, he was in Baltimore at the International Disaster and Emergency Resilience Symposium where he was expected to close out the three-day conference with a lecture on crisis leadership, improvisation, and austere care. That meant not only being awake during the day but also being on, prepared to network, interact, and provide insight without having his hand in someone’s chest cavity. ---He was honored to be asked, but it was a bigger ask than he had been anticipating.
