    Summary

    "He was drowning

    His heart slowed down and hurt. It hurt so much. It was unbearable. 

    He was still drowning. 

    His wedding ring burned in his hand. 

    He was still drowning. And drowning. Would it ever stop?

    ‘Yeah, yeah. If I die, you kill me,’ Bradley had said the night before. So ironically, dismissively. 

    If you die, I die with you,’ was what Jake should’ve answered."

    Summary

    When the Dean of Hale South Western College announces a prestigious new writing course, rival Associate Professors Dr Jake Seresin and Dr Bradley Bradshaw find they've got to co-operate. But as the two of them pit their disciplines against one another, each set on proving the other wrong, they're grudgingly forced to admit that in order to teach, they've got to learn...

    Jake stares forlornly at his laptop as he contemplates withdrawing his acceptance. But damn if that wouldn’t make Bradley fucking Bradshaw happy. And Jake would rather drive himself to the depths of misery than give that dickhead one single second of satisfaction.

    Summary

    “Did you just call me, Bradley?” Are the first words out of his mouth, that lost look in his eye that bothered Jake more than it probably should, quickly morphing into one of amused curiosity.

    “Why, did you change your name?” Jake smirks, immediately slipping into the familiarity of their usual back and forth, if a touch more amicable now, after everything they’ve been through.

    “Nope.” Bradley screws up his face, squinting up at the sky through his fingers like it surprises him to find it there.

    “Then it looks like I did.” Jake shakes his head, sort of amused too. “Now, at the risk of sounding like I’m not happy to see you, what the hell are you doing here? I thought they’ll be keeping you on lockdown for the rest of the leave at least, with how freaked out everyone on the carrier was when we landed.”

    ~

    Jake doesn't make it in time to save Bradley and Mav in the end. He's a second too late. The missile is faster, and Jake can't come to terms with that, his mind rejecting the reality that robbed him of so much.

    So Bradley conjures one last miracle - 7 days of borrowed time to make peace with it. 7 days to make up for the entire future they lost. 7 days to say goodbye.

    Summary

    Bruce stands with his mouth half-open, unable to answer as Clark towers over him. He wants to fight back, wants to point out all his flaws, wants Clark to understand that this is Bruce’s fault, but he can already see that Clark won’t let him.

    “You’re a good man, Bruce Wayne,” Clark says. “I wish you could see that.”

     

    Or, Clark dies and comes back to life. Somewhere in between, Bruce falls in love.
