Summary
David had foolishly believed that Jack had forgotten about Santa Fe. That he would stay. That David was enough for him to stay. He was wrong.
It had been months since the end of the strike. Christmas had came and went, and David really thought Jack had been happy. He had came around for the holidays, celebrated with them even. Perhaps David should have seen it, that look in Jack’s eyes when they all celebrated, that far off look.
Or;
Jack Kelly leaves for Santa Fe right after Christmas.

Summary
Jack nodded slowly, but it didn’t help the tightness in his chest. Davey was right, of course—he knew that. But knowing didn’t change anything. Didn’t make the fear go away.
"I ain’t even scared of fightin’ anymore, Dave," Jack muttered, his words getting lost in the wind. "I’m scared of not havin’ time to—" He swallowed, his throat tight. "Not havin’ time to figure us out. To figure you out."

Summary
So that's what he said. Except, he said it in a more joking tone; something like, "If you don't quit that, I'll start crying, you idiot."
But Jack just kept holding him.
"It's okay to cry, Dave."
or; David gets flashbacks of some less than pleasant memories and his boyfriend is more than happy to comfort him.

Summary
Jack Kelly was afraid of a lot of things.
He was afraid that winter would come early, sending a chill through the lodge that would spread illness and hunger. He was afraid he and Racetrack wouldn’t be able to get enough gloves and hats and scarves and boots to keep the boys warm. He was afraid he would never get away to Santa Fe and its vast, open spaces. He was afraid of the Spider. And the Refuge. And how it would break his boys if they were taken. How it was probably breaking Crutchie now.
He was afraid he would break, if the blows didn’t stop soon.
Maybe that’s why he took the deal.
In which Davey learns why Jack took Pulitzer's deal, and what he had to endure in the meantime.

Summary
“What’s going on?” Kath asks, sliding her knife into the brace on her arm. With a free hand, she pulls her sword and suits her weapons up. Hands gently grasping at Cora’s while they sweep onto the desk.
“Pulitzer’s ship has been spotted, decked not too far from here-'' She turns away from Katherine and eyes her crew, their energetic eyes and bold shoulders. They land on the smallest member of her crew and she opens her arms. “From what we can see, Pulitzer aint on board. So we pillage the ship, grab any and all gold you can find.” Her voice takes on an almost grave tone as she scoops Les up and disarms his wooden sword from his flailing arms. “Kill anyone who gets in the way. Got it?”

Summary
The New Year never brought much for anyone or anything. It brought chilly cold weather that dragged the blood into the tips of uncovered ears and exposed fingertips. The New Year brought ice and fog that clung deeply to the darkness of the mornings. But for the workers in and around Pulitzer General Hospital- the new year can bring something so much more than darkness and chills.
THE AGES ARE NOT CONCISE WITH HOW LONG THEY WOULD HAVE SPENT IN MEDICAL SCHOOL BUT FUCK REALISM.
I can't summerise. Please read.
