Ebb Tide (2225 words)

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Martin Brody/Matt Hooper
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Trauma Recovery, mutual comfort
Summary:

Matt’s just a rich kid with an obsession, only with boats and sharks and diving equipment instead of golf and European cars and insider trading. And he can’t deny himself this either, anything he can have of Martin Brody: his hand on his arm, his elbow tucked against Matt’s side, their knees bumping. The bright summer smell of him, salt and sunscreen over the nip of his cologne. His stillness, easiness, the kind of man you can count on, set your watch by, survive the long night beside.

A year after the shark attacks, Matt Hooper keeps coming back to Amity.
