Title: Red Roses, Old Horses
Series: Infinity Smashed
Summary: On Valentine's Day, Bob and Grey have a case that goes horribly wrong, fall into 9/11 Orwellian hell, and get laid.
Word Count: 14,000
Notes: The winner of the Patreon/Liberapay poll this month! This story has a long history; it was first started back in 2004 and spawned a whole book in its wake. It's also known as the Mac Dies Story, because it was how we first became aware of his existence--we felt bad for this random unlucky schmuck and wondered who the hell he was. Content warnings for death, 9/11 paranoia/xenophobia, and consensual sex.

Jenny pulled up at 5:30 AM, all bouncy brown curls and schadenfreude.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Bob,” she crooned.
I glared at her over my coffee and climbed in with a grumble. Witty comebacks had to wait until after caffeine.
