Summary
Din’s restlessness is smothered by a concrete screed of disappointment. He stands there, struck dumb by his own presumption. He sees himself on the night he arrived, laying hands on Cobb’s face like he had every right to, without even considering that his touch might be unwelcome for more reasons than one. Cobb is watching him, alive with tension again. Din wonders distantly if fraught silence is the only language they share anymore.
or Din lands back in Mos Pelgo after a long absence and finally giving up Grogu -

Summary
“I’m grand, boss. Absolutely fucking grand. Just putting in some overtime.” His smile is abrasive as steel wool: in true Tim Stoker fashion, the best defence is still a strong offence. Jon remembers when the same strategy relied on disarmingly genuine charm rather than naked aggression and feels like he's looking at the negative of a photo. It gnaws at him, how much he misses Tim. He wonders if, maybe, Tim misses him back.
Jon finds Tim in the archives after his return from the US and before their conversation in MAG114. Things come to a head.

Summary
Some days, it seems like all she got back from the Buried is a Daisy-shaped hole, but tonight, in their bed, warm from the blankets and Basira's body heat, mouth still sweet with mango, projecting heady intent with every move, Daisy feels solid enough to have her own gravitational pull.
Basira pitches into it head first.

Summary
"Sorry, I didn't mean—"
Martin doesn't seem bothered. He sips his tea and watches, something quietly amused in his face, as Jon flounders.
Jon snaps his mouth shut. Martin's eyes are gentle, wonderfully expressive, alive. Since last night, they've been a constant source of relief to Jon who can't shake off the awful, blank stare of the Lonely wearing Martin's face as it hollowed him out from the inside. They also make the coiled mess of feelings that sit heavy in Jon's chest expand ever so slightly. He's overflowing with them and with all the things that have been left unsaid.
