    Summary

    Nobody warned him recovery involved this much accountability, that eventually all roads would stop leading outward. He’s run out of people to blame now, out of excuses and circumstances and explanations. All that’s left is him standing face to face with himself, and he doesn’t particularly like the way he looks in his reflection.

    Or: For a long time, Frank Langdon believed the worst thing that could happen to a person was pain. Then he discovered that pain has a talent for bringing company.

    Summary

    He must have gotten up too fast because his head spins in that light way it does when blood pressure doesn’t keep up. The adrenaline hasn’t settled out yet because his hands are still shaking, in fact all of him is still shaking. Why hasn’t he caught his breath yet? He presses a hand against the pinch in his chest like that might help. And why does it feel like there’s a rod jammed low in his sternum–

    “Oh, fuck,” she says, her gaze sweeping him up and down.

    He glances down to see what’s upset her – maybe she’s just offended that his cologne rubbed off on her or afraid he’ll blame her for the minor road rash that stings all the way up his left arm–

    “Oh –” the knot in his chest is actually a hole and it’s bleeding over his hand “– fuck.”

    or Frank is having a bad day at work. and then he gets shot.

    Summary

    How Michael Robinavitch and Frank Langdon fell into each other's orbits, fell into something someone without their penchant for cynicism might call love, fell apart into parallel destructions, and finally, maybe, came back together, as told in a series of hook-ups and almost-hook-ups over the course of five years.

    Summary

    If Langdon was actually clever, he would have already sweat this feeling out, spit it out like a wad of blood he can’t keep forever. Instead, it feels like in every shared day shift with Robby, he’s swallowing down his emotions and then they come back up his throat like vomit. There’s an uncanny resemblance there, a similarity between what Langdon hides in his locker and what he keeps in his mouth, behind his teeth; both give him this feeling—a longing to be found, but Langdon can’t find himself willing to give anything up first.
