Summary
Jax shuts himself away from the rest of the circus, drowning in his own anger and self-loathing. Days blur into weeks, and he convinces himself that maybe it’s better this way—that no one wants to see him anyway.
But Pomni doesn’t leave him alone. She doesn’t knock down the door, doesn’t push, doesn’t demand. Instead, she slips little notes and doodles beneath the crack, quiet reminders that someone is still waiting for him on the other side.
Sometimes, the smallest gestures are enough to keep someone from falling apart.

Summary
It's been a few months since the group has escaped the circus, and things are going well, for the most part. They've got jobs, hobbies, relationships, and they've all jumped back into life with more vigor than ever before. It's good. Almost. Jax thinks that's a sign, in a weird way, that perhaps all of this isn't as worthy as it seems. That he's not as worthy. Not that it matters.
And so, on one random Sunday night, Jax decides he's going to take his own life.

Author wanted to write a character study about Jax coping in the real world while also learning to see himself as a person.Bookmarked by likeathunder

Summary
Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.
Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.
