    Summary

    When he was growing up, he was so afraid of scorpions he thought about them every ten seconds, every five. Started drawing them on his desk at school. Dreaming about them. Catching them under cups in the garage. He knew every fact there was to know about scorpions.

    He was wearing one on his back right now, custom stitched onto his jacket. He had asked for that. Wanted it. Paid money for it.

    Maybe Standard was afraid of another man fucking his wife the way he used to be afraid of scorpions.

    Summary

    Rosie slowly wandered down the stairs, following the sound of Frank Sinatra’s voice as he sang Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear To Tread) into one of the many sitting rooms. He wasn’t sure who he expected to see occupying the space, but it certainly wasn’t Harry Crosby.

    or

    A rewrite of Part 6 where Harry Crosby is sent to the Flak House with the crew of Rosie's Riveters.

    Summary

    Don and Kathy would move in together. They would have a dog or two and then inevitably, a small parade of adorable little brats who would call him Uncle Cosmo, and they would spend less and less time with him, not on purpose but busy with the rest of their lives, and ultimately Cosmo would learn to make his peace with it because he’d have no other choice and he would have to try to move on and not live too much in his memories. He could picture it so clearly, he figured if the songwriting gig with Monumental didn’t pan out, he could always return to the backwater circuit with a new act: The Amazing Cosmo of the Cosmos—ladies and gentlemen, he sees the future, he reads the stars, he silently pines for his best married pal and all the while tap dancing!

    Don and Kathy inviting him along on their honeymoon, though—that part was a surprise.

    Summary

    What is it they always say when they get stuck in some dank underground place on a wild goose chase after mythical treasures? “The only way out is through”? Maybe that applies to telling your best friends you’ve been in love with them for fifteen years, too.

    Riley really, really hates when the only way out is through.

    (or, it took the gates family three generations to find the templar treasure. what’s fifteen years of hiding the fact that you’re in love with your best friends, compared to that?)
