Summary
Trinity tilted her head to the side with a curious look at Mel. She did this sometimes when she realized there was some fundamental knowledge about social rules that Mel didn’t have. It happened more often than Mel would’ve liked. “That’s kind of why people flirt, Mel. To figure out if someone likes you back without having to say it outright.”
“Oh.”
Trinity leaned closer to Mel with a mischievous grin. “Is there someone you’d like to test the waters with?”
—
OR: Mel decides to try flirting with Frank.

Summary
Santos rolled her eyes so hard it looked like they might pop out of their sockets. “I’ve only managed to convince Mel to go out with me, like, three times since the Fourth, and all those times involved a lot of begging that I honestly just don’t have the energy for. But I know for sure she’ll come if you come, so… You gotta come.”
Frank felt his ears heat up. “… Did she say that?”
—
OR: Frank joins a few of his coworkers at a bar, which inevitably leads to him getting flirted with. Mel gets just a little bit jealous.

Summary
Some nights were, naturally, worse than others.
Nights where Frank laid in bed for so long, staring at the ceiling, that it made his heart start to race with anxiety and his back ache and ache and ache no matter how he positioned himself. Nights where his thoughts spiraled out into worst-case-scenarios that seemed so vivid and inevitable that he would have to get up and go to the bathroom, just to turn the light on and look at himself in the mirror to remember what was actually real.
Those were the nights when he wanted the pills again the most: alone in his guest bedroom, trying to wring sleep out of his body like the last few drops of water out of a dirty dishcloth.
He tried not to call Mel on nights like that. He did not always succeed.

Summary
Mel King was a creature of habit.
There was a specific sort of choreography to her life beyond the chaos of the Emergency Department. A carefully controlled routine, a color-coded calendar, a rigid set of rituals that kept her grounded enough to keep showing up day after day, to keep on doing the work that was required of her to save lives.
Everything was going fine for Mel. Her personal life was predictable, unexciting, and perfectly fulfilling, thank you very much.
Enter Frank Langdon, agent of chaos.

“No more,” Greez says, ragged voice choked with desperation. “Please, Cal. Please. You comfort everyone except yourself, kid, and I can’t keep watching this.” He’s crying. Greez is crying. He reaches out, a warm hand resting atop Cal’s head. “I have to help you. Let me help.”

Summary
She would not admit this to anyone, but it scares her how much she has come to care for this crew. The brutal lesson of how quickly and easily loss can strike is etched into her very bones.
She looks down at Cal and knows it is the same for him.
Her fingers softly comb through his hair, avoiding the back of his head, and trace down his forehead. He stirs, and blinks an eye open to look at her.
“Hi,” he whispers.
“Hello,” she whispers back.
“M’glad you’re here,” he says, and then promptly falls back asleep.

Summary
Cal turns. Before him is a slight human woman, dressed in worn travel clothes and a woven red scarf. She looks a little nervous. “I’m sorry to bother you, but you’re Cal Kestis, right?”
“That’s me.” He would be set on edge by this stranger knowing his name, but she doesn’t seem to pose much of a threat. Shy, anxious, half a foot shorter than him and apparently unarmed.
“And you’re…you’re a Jedi?”
That sets off more alarm bells, but Cal’s long past denying it. “I am. Can I help you with something?”
“You might. At least, I’m hoping you can. Can we talk somewhere more private?"
At a rare informal gathering of the rebellion, Cal is approached by a woman asking for a favor: to use his gift to lay a mystery to rest. But offering her closure opens more questions than answers.

Summary
Cal crash-lands on Bracca at age thirteen, gets poisoned a few months later, and promptly spends the next five years subsisting on safe, reliable ration bars (except when he’s stashing them away for emergencies or forced to eat bad medcenter food). He’s just barely scraping by, but he manages not to starve, even when the Guild’s being a real pain in the ass about actually feeding its scrappers.
Everything works out fine until he winds up on the Mantis, instead. Suddenly he has a new purpose, along with some new crewmates who are way too invested in finding out why Cal doesn’t karking eat… and trying to do something about it.

Summary
“Sorry to wake you,” Greez says immediately. He’s wringing two of his hands, the others planted on his hips, and the folds of his blanket are still imprinted on his cheek. “I woke up because Cal’s little rattletrap sliced into my cabin and started jumping on me, beeping his glitching head off. Didn’t understand a word, of course, but I followed him anyway – one of the hatches is wide open and I know I closed them both before I went to bed. And I can’t find the kid.”
