Summary
She’s well-perfected the art of running without looking like she’s in a panic.
This is not that. This is flying down the interstate in the left lane, pushing yellow lights, not coming to complete stops, and a messy parking job. This is pleading with the universe that Coyote was right when he called her, begging the universe to not take her backseater from her.or
Phoenix will do anything to be able to see Bob after he's been taken to the hospital

Summary
She hears him before she sees him, a low snore ringing from the living room of the cabin they rented for the week between Christmas and New Years. Bobby’s curled up in a couple of blankets on the couch, a trash can and box of tissues next to him on the floor, his brow furrowed even in sleep.
OR
Phoenix takes care of Bob, who's got a cold their first day of leave.

Summary
Every day, Mav makes an effort to find Jake and invite him over, and every day Jake finds a way to say no. He gets home exhausted, locks the front door, and when he gets to bed, the apartment makes weird noises. Jake gets into the habit of double checking the locks every night, firmly shutting the doors and windows over and over again. He thinks he’s going crazy. Maybe he actually is crazy at this point.

Summary
Jake doesn’t know when he fell in love with Javy. It happened slowly during flight school; late night study sessions turning into lunches together, turning into going out to take a break from classes, turning into following Javy home for leave. Javy was still the only person that Jake could handle being around for extended periods of time and the only person he had a handle on.

Hangman has a crush and spends a while pining.

Summary
It’s gotten to the point where Jake can’t fathom living a life that isn’t at least partially defined by Javy. One of the kids fresh out of flight school nearly inverts themselves over Jake? Well shit, he’s gotta brag about the kid to Javy. A civy pulls a hilarious pickup line out of their ass at the bar? Javy’s gotta be able to make fun of them, too. Their usual restaurant finally has the beer Javy likes after months? Jake’s gonna see if he can buy some straight from the source since Javy’s next leave isn’t for another three months.
OR
Jake and Javy are best friends and I just think they're neat

Summary
Violet is happy to helm story time for the early-learners group occasionally—it is her bookstore after all—but she has no interest in catering it for the holidays. None. Nada. And for the last time, there will be no tinsel in this building, Ridoc!
Enter Xaden Riorson: handsome tattoo artist and single dad. He's just trying his best to make ends meet, get his daughter to that reading-session-thing she likes so much, and make sure she has the best Christmas now that she's old enough to remember it.
Oh, and convince the gorgeous bookstore owner that the holidays aren't so bad after all if they celebrate them together. That too.

Summary
“Penny, darling? Why the hell do you have a sad blond kid slumped over on your deck?”
“What’re you shouting about, Nick? I don’t—oh sweet Jesus, Jake?”
Hands were suddenly on him– smooth, cool hands that framed his face and tipped it upwards towards something that was too bright, too much all at once.
He let out a muffled whimper.
“Jake—Jacob I need you to open your eyes for me, okay? Look at me, sweetheart—”

Summary
“Oh no,” Jake muttered. “Whatever you’re thinking, stop.”
“Come on,” Javy said, practically vibrating now. “What if you brought a date?”
Jake stared. “Did you miss the part where he screamed at me for being gay?”
“Exactly.” Javy’s grin stretched wider. “You bring a hot guy. Hold his hand. Feed him pie. Maybe make out a little on the porch.”
Jake blinked. “That’s—Jesus. That’s evil.”

Or, the one where Jake Seresin gets drunk, posts a Craigslist ad for a fake boyfriend to bring to Thanksgiving to piss off his homophobic dad, and ends up getting more than he bargained for with the tattooed bartender who actually answers it (in a good way).

Bradley is invited to the annual Fourth of July party hosted by Maverick and Ice. He brings some friends, and it's all good. Eventually.Bookmarked by itsthebooks
