Summary
You're eight and there is no freaking way you're sitting with her on the bus.
"Just for the first week or two, until she settles in, Alex. You know how Mr. Woodhouse worries."
"Mom." You infuse the word with about three extra syllables, that's how bad this is. Not only is Emma a kindergarten baby, but she's a girl (a really girly one, besides), and she's sure to come to school with some super pink outfit and about a thousand glitter pens and you won't do it.

Summary
The enormity of what I do - what we do - hits me in waves while he’s unfazed for the most part. It’s because he’s always trying to justify it. Won’t shut up about sustaining a legacy and being heroes. Except this isn't some righteous crusade and we aren't heroes, this is some fucked up shit and he knows it.

“You—” he starts.
The Not-Danny turns. “Hello,” he says, clearly confused but too polite to say anything. “Can I help you?”
“Sorry,” he forces himself to say. “I thought. You remind me of someone.”
“Ah.” The man adjusts his glasses, then extends a hand. “I’m the new Quartermaster here. And you are?”

Summary
“I used to try and predict it,” Q says. “Pick a place on the beach and stand there. I tried to get as close as possible to the point where the wave would stop. Told myself I would never move, no matter what.” He chuckles, ducking his head briefly. “I ruined a lot of shoes as a boy. It’s one of those lessons from the universe, isn’t it? You can’t control the ocean. You can only control where you stand—and if you stay.”
“I should have stayed.” Alex stares at Danny’s form, across the sand. “I should have stayed.”

Summary
Alex has a routine. It’s a good routine. It gets him out of bed and en route to work at the perfect time every morning. He passes the same buildings, the same cars. It’s comforting, the pattern of it all.
But this morning, Alex turns onto his usual street at his usual time and is confronted with a wall of flowers.
As he hesitates in the middle of the street, wondering what the hell a florist is doing in the middle of his route to work, a young man emerges from inside, carrying a small arrangement of flowers.
“Oh!” he says brightly. “Hello!”

Two of the things Alex had never slowed down long enough to realize? The old news: she was gay. There was the Maggie fiasco, and Kara's unconditional support. Without Kara's warmth, Alex wasn't sure she would have survived that realization. And now: she loved Kara. No, not just loved. Was *in love* with Kara.
Well. Fuck.
She stares at Kara's face, blue eyes shimmering with tears she's trying to hold back, waiting for Alex to just say something.

And Alex’s brain just decides to stop working.
Because Reggie was hot.
Not cute. Not adorable.
Hot.
He was all dark hair, light complexion, pouty lips, and that jacket.

Summary
“I—I don’t—” Reggie breaks off, his voice swallowed by the rain. “I—I didn’t want you—any of you—to see.”
Alex swallows, his hand hovering over what he assumes is the light switch. On the one hand he wants to respect Reggie’s wishes, on the other hand, Reggie tends to hide the important things, especially if he isn’t feeling well. He tries to fool them with too big smiles and too much eagerness.
“What don’t you want me to see?” Alex keeps his voice quiet and careful, making sure not to spook him.Or, Alex finds Reggie in the studio and patches him up.

Summary
“Dude,” Luke says, revelatory, “why didn’t you say? Oh my God, this is amazing!”
Julie’s smiling, but she looks a little unsure, still catching up. “What is?”
“Alex and Reg,” Luke says. “Buddy, I knew there was something going on. No wonder you guys are disappearing all the time!”
“Oh my God,” Julie says, reaching out to punch Alex’s arm over the counter.
“Oh my God,” Alex agrees, horrified.
[Or: Willie's completed his unfinished business and moved on, which Alex is totally fine about. Completely. Almost 100%. Reggie is just a little lonely, is all, it's nothing. Somehow fake dating ensues.]

Summary
Alex is enjoying his status as "only member of the band with a boyfriend" a little too much. His friends decide to take him down a peg.
"Oh my god," Alex exclaims, eyes wide with horror. “Have I been the third wheel this whole time?”
Luke snickers, Reggie snorts, and Julie bites back a grin.
“Technically... you've been the fourth wheel."

Summary
It’s not that Alex isn’t happy that his friends are dating, he just sort of wished the guys who’d never given any indication of being anything other than straight would have liked, dropped a couple hints that his unrequited crushes maybe weren’t so unrequited after all. Granted, he’s still hopelessly in the closet, but it still would have been nice to know. Except apparently everyone else had seen it coming from a mile away, and now Alex has to deal with his three best friends being in a lovey dovey relationship, showing every sign that they were perfectly happy and content with the way things were.
Nope, that didn’t hurt at all.
The question of why they didn’t ask Alex to join them was not one he dwelled on, because the answer was fairly obvious – they didn’t want him to. So he just had to deal with that, and he could deal with that, if his dumb emotions would just cooperate.

Summary
“Yeah, I was in solitary. It was safer for everyone else.” Something shifts in Armando’s eyes, calculating and thoughtful and maybe a little fond, and he takes a step forward again to lean against the pinball machine. Alex rubs the back of his neck and looks away, the admissions coming easier when it’s a quarter after four in the morning and just Armando. “Bed’s too soft, here. The room’s too… it’s all a little… uh, big. Open.”
“Yeah, I get it, man.” Armando pats his shoulder with a smile and a nod. Alex tries so damn hard to keep from flinching. Heat flares in his chest and he doesn’t know if that’s a bad thing or not.
