Summary
He looked up to meet Hermie's gaze and was caught off guard as he realized how close they’d become. Not backing up or looking away, Hermie stared at him in awe, simply taking his time to relish in the act.
Either of them could back away, laugh it off as some fleeting feelings. The heat of the moment. The insanity of their situations.
But, he thought, no one had ever looked at him like this. Like he was something to take in rather than throw out.

A (mostly) canon-compliant, oakworthy-centric, perky-peppy, chipper-cheery rewrite of season 2.

Summary
His whole life, Ed was taught that people only ever came into his life to leave it. At least when people left, he wouldn't have to worry about hurting them anymore. He was infectious, diseased, contagious.
But Stede comes back. Ed wishes he hadn’t.
Or, Ed learns of Stede’s death and becomes haunted by his conscience. It wears Stede’s face.

Summary
Jack Abbot is two beers and a bourbon into the evening, pleasantly warm but not actually drunk. He thinks if he was drunk, he’d write this whole conversation off as an elaborate hallucination. Chucking a handful of mixed nuts into his mouth, he’s still not entirely sold on it not being some sex-deprived, testosterone-fueled fantasy his mind has cooked up after a full dose of trazodone.
Apparently, Samira Mohan is a virgin.
++
Samira doesn't want to finish out her residency still a virgin. She asks Jack Abbot to help. There are to be no feelings involved.

Summary
“Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.
Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.
Penelope was ruined.
