Sean was walking home after lunch with his head down and his hands in his pockets. He wasn't paying much attention to anything around him -- just enough to make sure he didn't run into anybody or anything.

If he'd been paying more attention, he would've noticed a familiar face sitting on the porch next door.

Sam wasn't paying attention -- at least not enough attention to recognize Sean on sight, but he did notice just enough to sit up and call out, "Hey. Do I know you?"

Sean stopped and looked up. "Holy shit," he said, blinking in surprise. "Anders?"

Sam got a good look at him now, and it surprised him into a short laugh. It was usually a pretty good clue as to where people knew him from when they called him by his last name.

"Sean frakking Nast? Is that you?"

Sean couldn't help laughing a little. "Yeah. Yeah, it is."

Sam let loose with a string of colorful expletives you could only pick up from ten years knocking around in the minor leagues. "Shouldn't be frakking surprised, any more. What the hell are you doing here?"

"Just finally felt the need to get away from there," Sean said, quirking a smile as he shrugged.

"How long's it been for you, man?" asked Sam. "You sort of have to ask these things around here."

"So this place is Fandom-lite? Lovely." Sean made a face. "When I left there, it was 2019. When I got here, it very much wasn't."

"Yeah, I seem to have jumped back ten years or so myself," Sam said with a shrug. "Complete with six-year detour where I got cut off from everybody."

Sean winced. "That must've been hard on you," he said, remembering how close the other man had been to some people -- Phoebe and Cole especially.

"Worst time of my life," Sam said succinctly. He glanced over his shoulder at the house and shrugged. "But . . . in the crazy way of things, it worked out in the end. We're all here now, the three of us, and stuff's getting back on track."

"Well, that's good -- that it worked out, I mean." Sean gave him a slight smile. "I'm happy for the three of you." He hesitated slightly. "It is the three of you, right?"

"Yeah, the three of us." Sam twisted the ring Phoebe had given him for Christmas around his finger slightly. "And that took some doing too, I gotta say. We all came here . . . separately, really."
