Why this must be read:
These stories are glimpses into Lewis and Hathaway's lives beginning with a coda to Life Born of Fire and moving through the series. They are all complete in themselves but together add up to something more. (There is more to come in this series, but I'm reccing as each story is self-contained and satisfying as is.)
But enough explaining! The stories are warm, witty, and perfectly in character. They show us the ebb and flow of a working relationship and a deep friendship. Highs, lows, work, home, fights, reconciliations. There is a relaxed feeling running through them: I have the heart of a slasher but I neither know nor care in what direction the relationship is going, because they're just so enjoyable to read. It's Lewis & Hathaway—believable, kind, striking the edges off each other, catching each other—in a whole lot of scenes canon should or could have included.
“You know what I think?” James says, breaking the silence that’s fallen.
“What?”
“I think we should go back to yours and pick up a change of clothes, then head to mine and get stinking drunk.”

Therewill be more, yes; the next story has been in progress for a while (and I must get back to it); it's set at the end of Point of Vanishing.
