Summary
How did he cope with this? How did his family cope with this? And at the same time, how could anyone see him that way and consider it the prime time to abandon him? She had never felt more need to be right there, right at his side, than she had in those terrifying moments and she could not understand why the women of his past would ever leave him when his need for them, in those moments, would have been greater than ever.
Tommy lives with the fallout form a traumatic brain injury, and navigates a love life, a working life, and a family life that all seems to be massively impacted by that injury - sometimes, it feels like everyone else is more affected than he is.

Summary
A little bit of fluffy love inspired by the way Cillian rubs his thumb across his eyebrows/nose when in bed with Lizzie, in series 6.
"The first time Grace saw him do it, was after she shot the IRA man. When Moss was gone and they sat in the Garrison - he had rested his head back on the high back of a booth, raised up his arm and stroked his thumb up and down the bridge of his nose. But his face had been tight with anger and upset, his eyes had been screwed shut, and he’d been whispering in a language she failed to understand. It was like it was a ritual - like he was trying to ground himself."

A figure in a white coat steps into the room, and he scrambles even further into the corner he has already crammed himself in. His toes dig into the padded floor, his back the padded wall. He wonders when the walls of dirt, rocks, and wooden beams were replaced.
