Summary
Cliff would probably remember if he was there when Ilya met a woman so earth-shattering that he would chase after her for nearly a decade. Probably. Cliff thinks he would probably notice something as life-altering as a meeting like that. Who on earth is this woman and how did they find each other? Did Cliff watch Ilya’s life change before his eyes and not even realize what was happening?
In the fall of 2017, Cliff Marlow notices evidence of Jane all over Ilya’s apartment. He decides to investigate.

Summary
When Flambae went to prison, it didn’t just screw him over; it screwed over his family, too. His sister was devastated, and after he joined the Phoenix Program, she made herself painfully clear: clean up your act, or you’re out of your niece’s life.
So when he gets a tentative invitation to her dance recital, Flambae takes it as his chance. He’ll show up on time. He’ll behave. He’ll take a leap and introduce his family to the guy he’s been seeing, as normal people do. Except the guy bails. The day before. Because apparently that’s “too much commitment”, whatever that means.
Now backed into a corner, Flambae needs a last-minute stand-in. Someone calm. Normal and unassuming. Someone who isn’t a walking red flag. Which is how he ends up roping the newly minted, normie dispatcher into being his pretend boyfriend for the evening— because admitting he got dumped doesn’t exactly scream I’ve got my life together.
~Or the fake-dating, enemies-to-lovers Flambert fic I’ve been craving.

Summary
One of the main characters - the only surviving witness to a murder - has just woken from a coma. Not only is she entirely cognizant, but the first thing that the subtitles say she asks for is a lawyer.
“What are you fucking giggling about?”
The other person that’s been paying attention is Flambae. He’s right next to Robert on the couch, his arm slung over the top behind his head. One foot is propped up on the other knee, also pointing towards Robert, which has him caged in the corner by the arm rest. It’s probably some fucked-up power move. Robert has been ignoring it just to spite him.
“It’s just not how comas work,” Robert shrugs.
“Right, and you know because you’re a fucking doctor,” Flambae quips back.
“I know because I was in one, asshole.”
------
During a quiet night in, Robert realizes that his coma and injuries aren't common knowledge among Z-Team.
Most of them take the information in stride with jokes aplenty.
Flambae does not.
