Summary
Bradley remembers the first time he met Jake Seresin.
It’s their first year at the Naval Academy. Bradley’s older than the others, because Maverick had pulled his papers and had set him back, but he isn't about to let that stop him from blowing through this place and coming out at the top.
He’s made it this far and he’s gonna be damned if he doesn’t exceed every expectation he’s held to.
Jake Seresin, though…that’s a whole ‘nother can of worms.

Summary
Jake Seresin is the best of the best. He’s always been, because he hadn’t ever let himself be anything else.
In high school, that meant being the varsity swim team captain and graduating top of his class. At the Naval Academy, that meant being the fastest 200 meter freestyle swimmer they’d ever seen, meant being Valedictorian of his class and graduating with an aerospace engineering degree. At the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station, it meant getting the top scores, it meant being sent to Top Gun. In the Navy, it meant being the only current generation Navy pilot to have a confirmed air combat kill since Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.
He’s worked hard to be where he’s at today and he’s never been afraid to flaunt it.
Even if it means that his only constant, his only comfort, is the ghosts of the people he’s lost that dog his every move.

Summary
“Have you ever heard the legend of soulmates?” she asks as her eyes scan the page.
“Uh, only from stories.”
“Then you know that Tui and La were the first soulmates in existence. Two halves of one whole. They were so joyous of their union that they wanted to share that gift with mortals. But the universe had other plans, making soulmates extremely rare and cursed with hardship and loss. The only way to know is that soulmates share dreams, share bending, and, most importantly, share their love lines,” she points to the top crease on his hand, where two deep lines run parallel to each other before intertwining with hatches and crosses and connecting finally.
Then it strikes him, her comment about sharing dreams, sharing bending, and it’s like he can feel his inner flame roar to life. The fire between them flares.
“Soulmates are very, very rare, and are known to change the course of the world,” she murmurs, caressing the line. “The last known pair was Sozin and Roku, and it seems the spirits have chosen you.”

Summary
“Drifter,” Eris greets over the transmission. “You need to come to Luna; you must see this.”
“Like hell I do,” he grumbles back as he watches the Gambit match going on. Red team needs to step up their game next round if they want to win.
He hears a frustrated sigh. “It pertains to what... they showed us.”
Drifter tenses, frozen for merely a second before putting his care-free persona up front and center. It’s a good thing Eris can’t see him over the transmission, can’t see the way his hands have started to shake despite his clenched fists. He knows his silence is telling enough. He flicks on the AI commentator for the match and turns away from the screen. “Is it—?”
“Yes,” she interrupts.
“I’ll be there in an hour.”

Summary
Shin can’t help the glare he’s sending to Drifter who’s been on the comms for the last hour with the infamous Eris Morn. He came over for a night of getting dined and dicked, and that three-eyed woman had called in the middle of the first.
Annoyed didn’t even begin to cover it.

Summary
“Bold thing to assume I was requesting.” Astarion walks a little closer, still not quite close enough. He tilts his head as he looks down at Gale, considering him. “I want to watch.”
Under normal circumstances, it would feel like an intrusive but simple enough request. From Astarion, it feels – weightier. Painfully intimate.
Gale swallows hard, and nods.

Summary
Gale goes to extraordinary lengths to cure Astarion’s vampirism.
AKA “if he has enough come in him do you think he’d come back to life” but a little more practical and a lot more romantic

Summary
Bradley would really like to say that Hangman is the one who started it.
It being their return to petty squabbling, starting straight from the moment they first came face-to-face with each other for the first time in years. But to tell the truth, he’s not sure of how true that claim would be.
