Summary
“I'm Ethan,” He says, like Benji doesn’t know.
So naturally, he answers, “I know.”
On second thought, it must be something about Ethan's blinding smile making him say stupid things. His face twists in what Benji would think is alarm, but actually turns out to be something closer to mirth.
How that is possible, Benji doesn't know; he's not sure how he'd react to a perfect stranger telling him he already knows who he is.
Benji Dunn, like any other person, may have a tiny crush on local medical billing legend Ethan Hunt. It comes as a surprise that Ethan wants to be his friend. And maybe, to his delight, all it takes is a couple well-timed hellos.

Summary
“I didn't peg you for the religious type,” Ilsa sounds out, choked by the remnants of warmth from Alanna's quick hands still lingering against the skin of her neck.
Alanna chuckles. “Not religious,” she argues, amused in a gentle, almost ironic tone. Her voice reverberates through the empty space. A revelation. “Devoted to a fault.”
“To the church?”
Alanna pauses for a second. It seems like Ilsa has finally caught her off-guard.
“No. Not exactly,” she answers, dazed eyes dancing. Her smile is knowing. Ilsa had forgotten how well it suits her, lighting up her expression like sparks threatening to start a forest fire. “But a miracle or two couldn't hurt.”
Ilsa finds Alanna in the last place she'd thought to look. Maybe she'll anchor them both to the ground this time.

Summary
“Talk to me, Benji,” He murmurs low, low, low; shaped like a smile. Broken, whole, and half-conscious. Anew. Brilliant.
It stirs something deep within Benji's soul. It touches him, and grips him by the shoulders, warms him down to the bone. Moves him, though he's still in place, seemingly unchanged.
He doesn't feel unchanged.

Summary
He focuses on the feeling of Benji's hand in his hair. Of his arm around him, his heart safe under Ethan's weight. Always safe, as long as Ethan is here.
He breathes in, and then out. “It's the same dream every time,” he begins. “You have to know what happened first, in the time we got separated— when I went after Gabriel.”

Final Reckoning Ethan finds out what happened to Benji and then later Benji learns what Ethan went through with GabrielSeries

Summary
Grace’s face changes. “What?” She asks, pulling away so she can look at Paris’ eyes.
Her features open beyond anything she has ever seen. “Qu'est-ce que tu ne sais pas?” Her French is clumsy, like a child’s would be. But as she traces Paris’ cheekbone with her thumb, Paris can’t seem to think it anything short of bewitching.
“Je ne sais pas—” Paris answers. Her voice breaks in the middle of her sentence, and she has to start over, gasping for air. “Je ne sais pas ce qui ne va pas chez moi.”
“Nothing. Nothing. Paris, listen to me.” Grace says, forcefully.
Her eyes are intense, and serious. Paris can’t look away from her. Can’t help but give into what she’s saying. Can’t help but hope that whatever it is that Grace sees can be true.
“Nothing. Nothing is wrong with you.”
After a reckoning, comes a fallout. Paris isn't used to having a soft place to land.
