Summary
Jim understood that the past would come back to haunt him one day, but he hadn't imagined that he would be the one to haunt the past. He blames this on his inability to die correctly.
" Okay, time to do the math, he thought as he snatched a towel off a rack and scrubbed it over his damp body. If it was the twenty-first of October in his third year, that meant that with the leftover days in October, plus November, adding the two and a half weeks of classes that would mark the end of the academic year in December before Christmas, all added up to less than two months. The rest of December would be down time, and then his fourth year would start up on January third, and everything would go relatively smoothly until the destruction of Vulcan on March third. This all gave him… just a little over four months to get his act together before Nero showed up and everything went haywire.
"… I can do that." "

“That little boy is my last living direct descendant.”
Booker stared. Direct descendant meant blood link, which meant-
“You,” Booker’s throat flexed convulsively, “you had kids?”

Summary
It was somewhat ironic that Booker had learned just how much the team meant to him right in time for it to get him killed. Repeatedly.
Still, it wasn't like he was about to just tell Quynh where Andy was, now was he?

Summary
“You’re talking about 200 years of history, Nile,” says Copley when she calls. “Do you really think you can fix that in six months?”
“First off,” replies Nile, “I am not fixing anything. I’m not a damn therapist. This mess needs to be fixed because I don’t get an out. There’s not a world where I just fuck off to do my own thing. I could argue for a few years with my family, but well, Booker tried that and look where that’s got us.”
“So you think this break will help?”
Nile shrugs before remembering that Copley can’t see her. “Help or hurt, we aren’t working right now. Not as a team or a family. It’s one thing to realize that they missed a lot of what’s been going on with Booker, with what he’s been suffering from. It’s another to assume that knowing the past, changes the present. He still betrayed them. It’s messy. That’s the bottom line.”
Or the story of found family coming together through accountability, forgiveness, a lot of therapy, and maybe a miracle or two.

Summary
Joseph and Nicolo linger near the door a moment longer, Joseph leaning in to steal a kiss, quick and sweet and a promise of more when they can snatch some privacy. Then he draws back, taking Nico’s hand.
“Come on,” he says, intertwining their fingers. “Come sit down and have something to eat.”
Or: Five times the Old Guard fed each other.
