    Summary

    Actually, Mel's excited about a lot of things going into the new school year. She’s excited to co-teach with Dr. Mohan and Mr. Langdon. She’s excited to continue supporting the kids on her caseload from the previous year, and she knows writing their IEPs will go so much better now that she knows them and their families a little. She’s excited that her Physics class will be entirely made up of students she taught in Chemistry the previous year; they were a great group.

    There are things to worry about, too. Co-teaching with two new people again. The daily possibility that she’s going to do something overwhelmingly embarrassing in front of Langdon. Still not knowing where she should go during her prep periods. That she’s going to be just as alone as she’s always been at work, but with some added disappointment because she’s let her hopes get up, just a little.

    There’s no way that she and Langdon can co-teach as well as she hopes. She’s sure her bubble will burst soon enough, that her crush will fade, and everything will settle back to baseline.

    (It doesn't.)

    Summary

    It starts like this:

    Frank gets caught. He does not voluntarily give up information about the stolen drugs – he gets caught.

    Big difference.

    -

    Frank Langdon and the years following that one shift.

    Summary

    “I swear I’ve mentioned Alex before,” Mel murmurs, frowning down at her phone, still not clocking how she’s short-circuited Frank’s brain. It's a blue screen of death up there. Hi, you’ve reached Dr. Frank Langdon. I’m not available to talk right now, but leave a message, and I might get back to you. Beeeeeep.

    The picture continues to shine cheerily up at them, silently mocking Frank. He forces himself to look away and swallows with difficulty. “I think I'd remember if you'd told me about your ‘best friend’ who you ‘used to be in love with.’”

    Summary

    Frank has never been a good sleeper. It's a blessing and a curse in turn, but he's made peace with needing less sleep than anyone he's ever met.

    And then he meets Mel King, and she changes that.

    (She changes everything.)

    OR — Over a series of late night talks, texts, FaceTimes, and maybe dates, Langdon and Mel fall in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.

    Summary

    Expect Dream to perfectly time his entrance when George was sipping his coffee so he could walk in and say hi, causing George to choke and, as a result, die so he could eliminate George as competition in the office. Who says hi to each other in the morning?
    “We do. Normal people. Friends,” Sapnap slowly blinks at him. “And coworkers. You guys literally say hi to each other every morning.”
    George blinks back. “I have never willingly spoken to him in my life.”

    (Being enemies, it was expected for Dream to make a few attempts on George's life.
    This being said, George was a little confused as to why the rest of their coworkers think they're in love with each other, and why Sapnap keeps calling him an idiot.)
