John's return to New York - more specifically to the library - didn't go as he had thought it would... AU story which takes place after 3x13 - 4C.

"Think about it. It wouldn't hurt for you to socialize a little with your new colleagues, and you'd be doing something 'normal' for a change." Fusco waved his hand between Reese and the precinct. "And isn't that what this is all about?" . This story takes place after 4x05 - Brotherhood.
