    Summary

    Tom liked to say that it took one dish of homemade pelmeni to unravel and end the 235 years of implicit and explicit prohibitions against homosexuality in the US military.

    Pete, on the other hand, thought he was exaggerating. DADT did not end because of them. (Or did it?)

    Summary

    “It’ll go fine.” Howie advised. “I don’t like the idea of you being there alone,” he joked with a small little smile. “But it’ll be okay.”

    “I’m not alone.” Maddie teased with a matching smile of her own.

    “You’re right.” Howie conceded. “You have our scary baby girl to hold everyone off.”

    Maddie snorted. “I meant -.”

    “I know what you meant.” Howie sobered. “I like the idea of him being there even less.”

    Maddie’s stomach jolted. “Do you think I made a mistake?” She asked cautiously. “Should I have told him not to come?”

    Howie waved a hand to the side. “Nah,” he shrugged. “We both know Buck’s going to Buck.”

    --

    Or, realizing that the family that you need has been beside you all along.

    Summary

    The first time Henry sees it happen, he knows instantly that it is not the first time it has ever happened. They’re sitting in the living room of the brownstone, the two of them surrounded by their favorite people in the world, a night of board games long abandoned in favor of mocking the eighth season of Game of Thrones.

    “God, don’t you have an off switch?” June groans, laughing as she chucks a piece of popcorn in Alex’s direction while he rambles passionately about the international legal implications of the Red Wedding. Nora cackles. “Whatever you do to thank Henry for putting up with you, it’s not nearly enough. Jesus, I can’t believe he put a ring on your loud mouth.”

    Or: Alex is fine. Really, he’s fine — he just wants Henry to stay, even if Alex is too much. Henry just wants his husband back.

    Summary

    "Hello, Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's office. How may I help you?"

    "Hello, can I speak to Mr. Fox-Mount-krishen, please?"

    Alex blinked. After two weeks of hearing nothing but the voices of snooty men and frazzled secretaries calling in, the person on the other line now sounded decidedly neither snooty nor male nor in any way adult.

    It was a little girl.

    "Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's unfortunately in a meeting right now,” Alex began slowly, “but I could take a message?"

    "Oh." The girl paused. "You're not Mr. Hunter."

     

    Alex starts a new job as Henry's new assistant. Henry's daughter keeps calling the office and leaving him messages.
