    Summary

    Jack Abbot was very clearly not the kind of guy that Samira Mohan was into.

    Which was fine. There was a whole laundry list of reasons that women didn’t flock to Jack Abbot. He was too short: women expected alphas to be taller. He was approaching fifty. He had a job he was completely dedicated to that did not lend itself to a normal sleeping cycle— or a normal life, for that matter. He had one factory-model leg and one titanium and carbon fiber aftermarket fix for a right-side BKA he’d undergone in Germany. He was chock-full of C-PTSD and anxiety and depression and maladaptive coping mechanisms that ten years of therapy had finally put a slight dent in. He had a wife named Maggie who’d been dead for almost seven years. And he hadn’t had sex in those seven years, apart from the handful of emergency DRIs he’d been able to help with here at the Pitt.

    ----------

    Abbot is the Pitt's emergency contact for designation-related incidents.
    Mohan doesn't quite know how she feels about that.
    Until, one day, she finds that she needs him.

    Summary

    It was the worst part of being Connor Zilisch From The News Footage: he hated being anything other than the #8 Exo pilot.

    And he knew the investigation would take months, they'd made that very clear. But when it was all settled, what then? He could climb into the cockpit of the #8 Exo for the next decade, and perform, and prove himself as a pilot. He could pass his exams as a simulator tech, and get higher-level certifications. He could do all kinds of things.

    But he would still be Connor Zilisch, the only survivor from the Shuttle 635 explosion, in public records. Nothing could make that go away.

    Summary

    "I'm working myself up to a nice warm bliss,
    All my memories of you ring like tinnitus.
    If I stop, it's just pain,
    Please, don't rein me in."

    Shane Hollander is in league-mandated pre-heat, forced off the ice and miserably alone.

    Until Ilya Rozanov decides to call and make everything worse. Or better? No. Definitely worse.
