Mike finds his family just in the nick of time.

Mike receives a wedding invitation and more than he bargained for.

Three different women. Three different husbands or partners. Three different situations. Can the three women help each other survive and restore and build friendships?

A collection of excerpts, drabbles, and deleted scenes spanning multiple characters. Each chapter is standalone, set in either canon or one of my other universes. There is no particular theme, however, a couple of holiday-inspired ones will show up. Tone may be serious, crackfic, or something in between! Pairings: Ravit/Burk, Tom/Sasha, Kara/Danny.

A lie of omission is still a lie, and Tom's lie persisted for twelve years, seven months, and one day before it ultimately imploded.

Sometimes, the shock is worse than the problem.

Then he gets the surprise of his life when an isolated group of survivors is found, and their leader is someone very familiar. Spin-off from Lonely Hearts Club.
