    Summary

    "You know, what do you think about spending the holidays together?" Bradley asks, and Jake looks at him confused. "That way, we'll avoid feeling this way, and no one will be on our backs because we'll have an excuse," Bradley explains.

    "Not a bad idea, I'm in." Jake agrees, they seal the deal with a light clink of their bottles.

    Summary

    “Penny, darling? Why the hell do you have a sad blond kid slumped over on your deck?”

    “What’re you shouting about, Nick? I don’t—oh sweet Jesus, Jake?”

    Hands were suddenly on him– smooth, cool hands that framed his face and tipped it upwards towards something that was too bright, too much all at once.

     

    He let out a muffled whimper.

     

    “Jake—Jacob I need you to open your eyes for me, okay? Look at me, sweetheart—”

    Summary

    Jake kicks his crutches pointedly, still not opening his eyes. “So because I'm a foster kid, I'm a thief? I don't just scream Little Orphan Annie to you?” He blows a wet raspberry.

    Once again, the man doesn't rise to the occasion.

    “Your Dad is the best pilot I know, I just figured you'd be like him.”

     

    (In which, College Ice did not keep it in his pants and Jake tells a story about moths and butterflies… one that isn't actually about moths and butterflies).

    Summary

    Sin. The word, heavy with the weight of decades of indoctrination, echoed in his mind. It was a familiar ghost, conjured by the slightest deviation from the narrow path his parents had laid out for him. Growing up, their house wasn’t a home so much as a temple, every corner steeped in austere piety. Love was conditional, a reward for conformity, for obedience, for being right. And being right, for Jake, meant being straight, being strong, being the man they expected him to be. Deviance, in any form, was met with icy disapproval, silent judgment that cut deeper than any shout.

    Summary

    Jake Seresin has Jesus, a Bible tucked under his mattress, and a thousand-yard stare that never quite meets his reflection. Seventeen and starving—himself, for food, for affection, for permission—he's the golden boy of a dying Texas town, drowning in denim and daddy issues. His friends think they know him: Natasha with her sharp mouth and soft eyes, Mickey who cries during horror movies, Javy who loves too loudly, and Bob who never says the wrong thing. They’d accept him. Probably. But he’d rather die than give them the chance to.

     

    Enter Bradley Bradshaw, 19 and all wrong. Held back. Fucked up. Cigarettes in his back pocket and grief in his throat. The kind of boy who watches Jake like he wants to consume him whole, who sees the hunger and decides to feed it in all the worst ways.

     

    Bradley shouldn't be looking.
    Jake shouldn't be wanting.
    Jesus stopped answering a long time ago.

     

    A story about a boy who wants to be saved and a boy who only knows how to ruin.

    Summary

    Bradley Bradshaw grew up cradled in love.

    In a home where laughter echoed louder than fights, where his parents danced in the kitchen like the world was theirs, and where his uncles showed him that love is solid, patient, and worth fighting for.

    He didn’t just witness love—he breathed it, wore it like skin.

    Jake Seresin didn’t get that.

    OR : four times Jake is loved and one time he loves back

    Summary

    ‘“I can be your boyfriend,” Bradley says.

    Jake chokes on his beer. So does everyone else.

    “Sorry?” he manages through a cough. Javy is bug-eyed, jaw on the floor. Fanboy and Bob sport similar expressions. Mav looks unbothered, and Jake doesn’t even need to look to know Nat has a shit-eating grin on her face.

    Bradley sets his beer down. “Not like that. Just. As a friend. Helping out another friend.”

    “By… pretending to be my boyfriend?” Jake asks, once he’s cleared his throat enough to manage a full sentence. The group remains frozen.”

    (in which Jake and Bradley take a trip to Texas, Jake learns to confront his past, Bradley learns to confront his feelings, and they pretend to date. Obviously.)

    Summary

    The Dagger Squad are kept together after the mission under new command - a rear admiral who has a history of putting the mission ahead of his team. Something Jake knows all too well and he can’t let any of the other Daggers know what that can lead to - especially not Bradley.


    “We’re all up for promotion on Friday, sir,” Jake tried to placate the situation, hoping the rear admiral would latch onto this topic.

    “Yes, I’ve heard a few rumours about that mission of yours.” The disappointment was evident in his tone. “Insubordination, fighting, and not even making it past a spare. Just know that as difficult as it was to get that ‘promotion’ of yours, it can be easily stripped away, understood?”

    “Yes, sir.” Jake kept his voice steady and body rigid.

    “That goes for all of those little ‘friends’ of yours,” any calm was gone with that one statement, the rear admiral in Jake’s face as he spat the words at him, pointing not at the group around the pool table but the door he was halfway to escaping through - the one Bradley had just left through.

    Summary

    “You left,” Bradley murmured, not accusing—just hurt. “You walked out.”

    “I leave,” Jake said finally, voice hoarse, “because that’s what I’ve always done. It’s what I know how to do.”

    “We’re in this together. Or we’re supposed to be. But every time something scares you, you shut down or you bolt. And I can’t keep fighting for us if you’ve already decided I’m gonna fail you.”

    “It’s easier to leave than to stay and watch something fall apart.”

    “What happened to make you believe that staying is worse than leaving?”
