Summary: Sean Dignam might be having a crisis of sexuality, but that doesn't mean life, and especially work, hit pause while he figures it out. He still has to help Captain Queenan run the undercover unit of the Boston branch of the Massachusetts State Police, testify against two people who worked for Frank Costello while Sean was undercover, and relearn how to actually interact with humanity, all while adjusting to the fact that he's not as straight as he once believed and figuring out how to have an actual serious relationship, with a guy no less. Takes place in 1998, well before canon and shortly after Dignam gets out of working undercover.
