Summary
Due to progressive pushback, the International Skating Association (ISU) has decided to allow same-gender pairs to skate in competitions for the first time in history.
Kenma has been waiting for this day his entire life.
To be clear, though—Kenma is not a pairs skater. He has never skated in a pairs competition in his life, but he’s going to, because he’s going to become one of the first ever Japanese figure skaters to skate with a male partner in an official competition.
Kuroo, on the other hand, couldn’t give two shits about the new ISU update. Yay for gay rights and progress, but he’s an actual pairs skater with an established female partner who just up and quit the sport altogether out of nowhere, leaving him high and dry for the next season. How is he supposed to get to the Olympics without a skating partner?
Kenma—a man Kuroo has never met before—has some ideas that might solve his problem, all of which include the two of them skating together for the next season. After all, what could possibly go wrong when trying to make history challenging gender norms in a conservative country through an international athletic competition?
… It’s going to be a very long season.

Summary
They aren’t his family, not in the traditional sense. But the idea that they might be, that they could be, unsettles him more than he wants to admit. It’s the same quiet dread that hit him when Collins said he had helped raise Amy. He doesn’t know why exactly. Maybe because imagining them as a family implies imagining him and Jack as something. And that’s just absurd, right?
Or: Robby has been a quiet constant in the lives of Abbot and his daughter, filling a space that was never clearly named. As they drift into their fifties, he begins to recognize that his feelings for Jack may have deepened into something real and perhaps impossible. Now he’s left wondering if this almost-family could ever truly be his.

But there are only so many ways to hold on before you have to learn to let go.
A story about devotion, inevitability, death, and repetitions.

Summary
Jack had just stepped back onto the main floor when he clocked movement at the ambulance entrance, two guys hurrying in, the smaller one helping a guy with a sweatshirt covered in blood. But something was wrong, some unnamable instinct rising within Jack at the way they moved. It was too fluid, too controlled. Jack knew what the walking wounded looked like, had seen it for years, from war zones to bar fights. This wasn't the injured seeking help; this was men hunting.
Time slowed, Jack's heart rate spiking, the adrenaline dump casting everything in sharp relief—the full ED floor, patients plus shift change meaning twice the usual personnel were here.
Robby was here.
That thought got him moving, Jack approaching laterally. He got there right as the guns came out.

Summary
An unexpected break-up means Robby ends up going to Pittfest with Jake after all. He asks Abbot to cover half his shift, and Abbot is happy to agree—surely half a day shift can't be nearly as chaotic as the usual night shift. Everything that happens later changes his perspective on plenty of things, from just how crazy the day shift can get, to where exactly he wants to stand with Robby.
