Summary
Jet had known for a long time that he could not “love”. At least not in the most traditional sense of the word. He would never be in the same dizzying romance that seemed to occupy the time of most of his peers, never feel the same way that they felt about another person. For the most part, this did not bother him. What did bother him was the fear that the people he cared about most (for though his heart did not work in the same way as others, there were people he cared about) would leave him once they managed to do just what he could not.
Fall in love.

The mortifying ordeal of buying post-breakup flowers by useless_historian

Summary
Peter Nureyev isn’t quite sure why he’s standing outside a flower shop in Hyperion City, a city he swore he’d never see again on a planet he promised himself that he’d never return to. Is it revenge? His vindictive streak would certainly suggest so, but even a man with a sordid history such as himself wouldn’t stoop so low as send flowers to an ex-something (Fling? Partner? Almost-but-not-quite lover?) on his birthday for the purpose of petty revenge.
Maybe he wants Juno to know that he’s still out there.
Maybe he just wants to send a former co-worker a gift on his birthday.

Summary
It didn’t take a detective to know Juno Steel was incapable of taking care of himself.
It did, however, take a certain secretary.So, when Juno came back from the hotel, bleeding through gauze and a distant look on his face, Rita was beside him in seconds.
or; Juno goes to Rita after walking out on Nureyev. She pieces him back together, literally and metaphorically.

Summary
Juno hasn’t lived around anyone who actually cared or noticed how he was feeling since he lived with Benzaiten. Now he’s living on a very small spaceship with four maddeningly perceptive thieves and Rita, for fuck’s sake. If he drinks till he passes out, or spends a day unable to get out of bed, or jumps at little noises, someone is going to notice. And talk to him about it. It’s frankly unbearable. One by one, the crew discovers some of the trauma Juno carries with him, and Juno tries to get better. (four times the crew notices Juno isn’t okay + one bit of Rita fluff)

Summary
Something was wrong. Juno Steel would have grabbed her blaster, turned it around, and fired it at her by now. Hell, Juno Steel would have been able to get out of her distracted hold on him. Peter looked closer. Juno Steel wouldn't have a faraway and panicked look, let alone tears in his eyes during a scuffle. Something was deeply wrong.

Summary
Juno has a certain reputation at the HCPD these days. Juno’s not sure how it even happened, but somehow he has become the officer that deals with people who report instances of domestic violence.
He has no idea why.
