Summary
Finding love is hard enough under normal circumstances. But during a war where just about everyone’s trying to kill you, it’s pretty much impossible. Then again, doing the impossible was what they were getting good at.

Summary
Daxter has a rock-solid ten-year plan: avoid the ire of Sandover Village's curmudgeonly old Sage; wait for his best bud, Jak, to complete his training and become the new Sage; then live in Jak's attic for the rest of his life. He's got this all figured out, and the upcoming visit from some of Haven City's bigwigs isn't going to blow him off course.
That's what he thinks, anyway. Right up until the bigwigs' armored retinue are arresting Jak for a crime they won't disclose, but he definitely didn't commit.
It's two years, three months, and twelve days before he sees Jak again, and his buddy's a little... different from how he used to be. The physical differences aside, this Jak doesn't seem interested in collecting bugs and studying medicine. This Jak doesn't seem truly happy unless he's got blood running down his hands. Being the favorite subject of the Minister of Science's experiments can apparently do a number on a guy. But Jak thinks there's a way to change him back, and he's not willing to go home until he finds it.
Staying in Haven was not part of Daxter's plan - far from it - but for Jak, he'll do it.
He'll do anything to get his best friend back.

Summary
But two years can change a person. It gives a person time to think and linger on all of those 'what ifs,' and stew on the fact that, no matter how much you might want to, you can never go back.

Jak isn't sleeping and that bothers Torn for some reason. Maybe if he can get the kid to slow down for a second they could work out a way to get him to rest.

Summary
"What do you want?" Ashelin asks flatly.
"I told you. I've got something you'd love to hear." He's standing right next to her, so close their shoulders are practically touching. The man really loves to invade personal space.
He won't leave until he's said his piece. "Out with it, then."
"While you've been on house arrest," Errol jeers, "your man has moved on."
"Is that so." She side-eyes him slowly.
The grin on his face is almost feral. "One of my soldiers delivered a message. Jak and Torn say hello."
----
AKA Sex & Sadness.
Jak and Torn have a dinner date and go on a titillating tour through their depressing pasts in the hope to build a future.

Summary
By the time he saw the barrel around the next turn, it was already too late.
It was so cold, the way the dark eco burned through his skin, seeping into his veins. His stomach rolled with how it writhed in him. Anyone would die from this much all at once.
Anyone but him.

Summary
After two long years of the Dark Warrior Program, spent wasting precious ressources and dark eco on subjects that rarely survive it, the project is finally scrapped. Though the Commander has hope that its last survivor, Jak, can be a success, he doesn't have time to find it out. Jak has to take this project's existence to the grave.
What the Baron says, goes.
What the Precursors want, though, they get. In this case, it's for this planet, as unfinished and half abandoned by their kind as it is, to survive.

Summary
"I’m one thing right now that you can’t do without: I’m the only person in this city outside yourselves who gives a damn about what happens to any of you." The night Praxis falls, Torn keeps the Krimzon Guard from collapsing.
-
Bookmark Notes:
Here’s a hard truth: if the Guard goes, then Haven City goes too. Their barriers are down and there are still threats to the city, so what’s left of the Guard after the Metal Head incursion is the only protection they still have. Torn needs to keep a ragged and vulnerable police force and a justifiably angry mob from killing each other

Summary
‘I’m not here to be all buddy-buddy like Daxter or Jak,’ Torn continues, lip curling. ‘I’m here because it’s my job to keep people safe.’
‘Funny,’ Keira says, unable to bite back the anger now scouring her throat. ‘I’d heard your job was just sitting around with your thumb up your ass while Jak does all the real work and then spends the night with your girlfriend.’-
Six years after Jak leaves Haven to seek out the Precursors’ secrets, nobody has time to help Keira figure out who she's supposed to be and Torn is struggling to find his place in a city that no longer needs a revolution. The thing is, they seem to be the answer to each other's problems - and neither of them are particularly happy about it.
