Summary
It’s the spring of ‘97 when Michael Robinavitch is dragged into a gay bar for the very first time.
When he meets Jack Abbot there, the two of them are on the cusp of radically different futures: Robby is about to begin his residency, and Jack is leaving for the army. They know better than to get attached - know the timing is wrong, the goodbye inevitable - but something tender takes root anyway. Through every deployment, Jack thinks of Robby more than he ought to; through every failed relationship, Robby wonders about what might've been.
Years later, when their paths cross again at PTMC, the past resurfaces — and though they’re older, more jaded, and scarred in different ways, they find themselves pulled towards everything they left unfinished.

Summary
Robby is fifty-four years old after PittFest and trying really hard not to come to terms with the fact that he is trans, even if it means destroying himself in the process. Jack is having none of it. He will love Robby no matter what, thank you very much.
There is a terrible feeling in her guts. Dread has settled there like a voracious tick, and the more it grows, the more faint she feels.
Jack knows. Jack knows. He saw the boy in the mirror. The boy who has stubbornly refused to go away since PittFest. She tried to get rid of him. She really did. She tried so hard, but the more she tried, the stronger he became. Now, she can’t look in a mirror without seeing him. It doesn’t matter what she is or isn't wearing, he is always there. Watching. Judging. Reminding her of everything she is doing wrong.
But at least, he was her secret. Not anymore though. She is certain Jack saw him. And she is certain this is the beginning of the end. Nothing will ever be the same.

Summary
Seconds later the front door opens and Jack is meet with the sound of Robbys’ keys hitting the entrance dresser and his shoes being discarded in the shoe rack.
“I’m home.” Robby announces as he makes his way further into the house. He sounds a bit rougher than usual but nothing out of the ordinary after having worked for 14 hours straight.
Jack turns and puts the stove back on, “Kitchen,” he calls back, letting Robby know where he is.
“Alright, just gonna take a shower,” Robby answers, and Jack hears him walk towards their shared bedroom and the adjacent bathroom.

Summary
Robby should have known something was wrong when Dana looked up from the board, took one glance at him shoving his arms into his jacket like the building was on fire, and smiled.
...
Then she said, far too casually, “Just wondering what’s got you in such a hurry.”
Robby frowned. “I’m going home.”
Dana’s mouth twitched.
“Of course you are.”
Something in his spine went on alert. “What is that supposed to mean.”
“Nothing,” she said again, with the innocent tone of a woman who had never been innocent a day in her life. “Just figured it must be date night.”
Robby blinked.
“What?”
Dana turned back to the board. “Abbot’s off tonight, isn’t he?”
----Dana clocks that Jack has been courting Robby for months, Robby predictably is completely calm and composed about it.*
*He freaks out. A lot.
