Summary
In books and songs, there are always clues that warn the audience that a great tragedy is about to occur. A spot of blood against the clean floor. A broken window, perhaps, or a darkened home. Their hearts would race with anticipation only to gasps as the true horror unfolded.
For Jaskier, the tragedy looked like this:
Two bodies moving awkwardly off the tumbled bedspread.
Dark hair tumbling over shoulders bared by a shirt that was far too large for a woman’s body.
Familiar scars left behind by a life of war joined now by a deep bruise along one collarbone in the shape of a mouth.
Yellow eyes meeting his with agony marring their depths—too much emotion to belong to the man responsible for the way Jaskier’s chest seemed collapse around the shards of his broken heart.

Summary
Five years ago Spencer found himself with a crush. Three years ago, Spencer had accepted he was in love with Morgan, and dreading meeting his soulmate. Hearing the words hey kid from people only brought feelings of anxiety. Who could ever compare to Morgan?
That was then. This is now. Two months ago, Morgan had taken a bullet in the field. Spencer had seen Derek pass out from blood loss, had ripped off his shirt to use as a makeshift tourniquet before EMS arrived, and found the words he'd said five years ago scrawled under Morgan's rib cage. The number of pathogens passed during a handshake is staggering. It's actually safer to kiss.
Spencer doesn't think he's ever felt more alone in his life. The person cosmically bound to him had quietly rejected him years ago and remained friends. Close friends, even. So clearly it was just the idea of Spencer as a romantic partner that was unpalatable.

Summary
Spencer is happy that his boyfriend is as compassionate as he is, but watching Derek do everything he can to help Strauss with her alcoholism when he stood by and did nothing back when he was struggling with his dilaudid addiction is beginning to take its toll.
(Not necessary to have read p1 of this series, it just takes place in the same universe.)

Summary
Spencer leaves the oven on overnight, and Derek - whose pent-up emotions get the best of him - loses it, exposing secrets neither of them expected to be spilled, for two very different reasons. They get there in the end.
or; Spencer's suffered far too much abuse in his life and Derek knew about none of it. He shouldn't have found out like this.

Summary
It’s been 5 years since that day when Buck’s whole world crumbled. When he lost the love of his life, family and home all at once. He tried to keep in touch with Chris, he really did. But time and distance made it go further and further between the calls, and eventually they died out, transitioning into a venmo for birthdays and Christmas’s.
He never spoke to Eddie again.
Not until he gets that phone call.- - - - -
The man freezes at the sight of him and Buck sees how his eyes widen in shock. For a moment they just stare at each other.
“Buck..?” Eddie eventually says hesitantly, eyes darting behind him towards the road, almost like he was looking for an explanation for his presence behind him, and Buck clears his throat before lifting an eyebrow.
“Well. You look pretty good for being on the brink of death.” He states dryly.- Language:
