Summary
It turns out Bradley is an inveterate cuddler.
He seeks out Jake wherever he is—sleeping, reading, doing odds and ends around the house—and wraps his huge, overwarm body around him. He’s like a particularly persistent octopus, winding his limbs around Jake and nuzzling at his neck. Jake groans long-sufferingly and snarks each and every time it happens, but secretly he can’t get enough of it.
(In which Jake is still often freezing and Bradley, his human furnace boyfriend, feels morally obliged to do something about it at all times.)
A series of slice of life snippets post the events of low key in love, not necessarily in chronological order.

Summary
Bob had never liked fireworks. When he was a kid, the unpredictable bangs used to cause him to flinch and cover his ears. His dad used to bark at him to suck it up and not be such a baby, sometimes he’d even earn himself a smack over the back of the head for it. It didn’t help him flinch any less.
Funny thing is, if you get hit enough times for being scared, it becomes a Pavlov’s dog kind of response: you hear a loud noise, and even if that childhood fear of the noise has drifted, the locked in fight-or-flight from the expectation of a slap holds solid as concrete. That’s what it did for Bob anyway.
But the years had passed, and he’d learnt to hide his reactions; Bob was good at it. His stomach would drop at a loud noise. A friendly smack to the shoulder would come a little too fast and sharp and set his insides reeling. Drunk patrons laughing that bit too abruptly at the Hard Deck would make his fists clench. But no one ever saw.
And that was the way it stayed for years, until he joined the Daggers.

Bob is reminded of some bad childhood memories at a fireworks show, Ice and Mav are dad-shaped and help the WSO out.

Summary
"Often, drifting toward sleep, Pete would drowsily thank them for taking care of him, and they would scoff gently and say that they were sure he’d do the same for them. And he did: over the years, each one of them would at some point find himself crowded in close, comforted in pain or grief or fear, surrounded by his brothers." -Suicide Watch, Chapter 4

Summary
It was odd, in a detached, clinical sort of way.
Maverick Mitchell was renowned for his inability to stay still, both as a drive to push further in whatever advancement he was interested in and as a literal inability to stop fidgeting.
Yet there he stood, still as a statue.

Summary
She stopped banging her head. He wasn’t here, she hadn’t woken up. All she had was a headache and a broken heart. Her face was itchy and slick with tears. She felt like a child who’d just watched her parents leave for work, with no idea when they were coming back. Lost in a mall with no exit. Empty yet full of fear at the same time.

Summary
Rooster wasn't as unscathed as he appears in the movie. Crash landing on deck and the dog fight with the fifth generation fighters had consequences. Wherein Cyclone calls in the big guns (Slider would move mountains for Mav, not just for Ice's memory) and Maverick has various emotional breakdowns.
Plenty of hurt/comfort and angst, as well and 'Team as Family.'
