    Summary

    He doesn’t know how he knows it- that Tess is allergic to peanuts.

    They haven’t known each other long enough for him to give a shit about things like that. A few years of working together and fucking whenever they felt the desire, or more, the need. The desperate, overwhelming hunger on rare moments they felt alive. After a close call, drawn to each other like the other had vital medicine for a fatal ailment.

    Still, as he finds himself perusing the small options at the makeshift stand on the outskirts of the QZ -a risky trip, one he usually wouldn’t make for such a stupid reason- he thinks about the fact that she’s allergic to peanuts.

     

    (Joel helps Tess take care of something- and he realizes that his feelings for her are far more complicated than he once thought)

    Summary

    If someone were to give Holden advice, they'd probably tell him to take self-care breaks when the galaxy isn't imploding. But he's sure that if that same person saw what he decided counts as a self-care break, namely – being choked by Adolphus Murtry and getting off on it – they'd probably never speak to him again.

    Summary

    Cooper and Lucy get a few things straight between them as they head off on Route 66.

    (One-shot, for now)
    ----
    "Will you at least promise you won't try to sell me again?"

     

    "No, I will not," he said, with no hesitation, then grinned wryly at her scandalized expression. "And see, right there is where you didn't want honesty as much as you thought, huh?"
