    Summary

    Summary

    This man is a bully. This is his first impression of Captain Paddy Mayne.
    Though, that is not necessarily true.
    His first, first impression is, well, that this man is slight. He’s slight, and unkempt – the latter of which he attributes to the harsh living conditions of the desert and the former of which amuses him to an extent.
    Now, being the learned man that he is, he knows that looks can be deceiving, that he should be above judging a man before they’ve even spoken. And yet, nothing about Mayne strikes him as particularly threatening. And then - then the man opens his mouth and Augustin knows he's in way over his head.

    (or: What if Augustin stuck around and what if there's more to Paddy Mayne than his overt aggression)

    Summary

    “I’ve never seen you this free,” Paddy said quietly. “It suits you.”

    Six months after his tour ends, Eoin finally gets the hip replacement that won’t fix everything, but does change more than he expected.
    What follows is recovery, quiet devotion, a month away in the Cotswolds, and the careful reclamation of trust in his body.
    With Paddy beside him, Eoin learns that healing isn’t about erasing pain—it’s about discovering what is possible now, and getting to choose it.

    Part 2 of Soft Voices. Can be read as a standalone.

    Summary

    Summary

    The buzzards lead them to the center of the abandoned airfield.

    Though it was Reg who discerned the cause of the phenomenon before him. “Good God,” the normally brusque man muttered aloud as the Cause came into view. “Poor bastard.”

    And Paddy can only agree.

    Because there was a man left to die of exposure — tied and lifted off his feet, attached to the remains of a structure of some kind, repurposed, surely, for this one task. Not a good way to die, even for ones' enemies.

    Summary

    McKenzie Stirling was never meant to wear a uniform, never meant to carry a rifle or light a fuse. But with a forged name and a cropped haircut, “Mac Campbell” slips into the ranks of David Stirling’s mad experiment in the desert. Among the rogues and misfits of the newly-formed SAS, Mac finds herself running circles around the men, building bombs with Jock Lewes, and catching the sharp eye of one Blair “Paddy” Mayne.
    What begins as banter between soldiers becomes something more dangerous and even more impossible. Across many countries, Mac and Paddy orbit one another through fire, smoke, and shadows. She is a soldier by day, Stirling’s sister by blood, a secret kept tighter than any mission file. He is a poet with a rifle, feral and reckless, drawn to her like a moth to flame.
    They were made for war. But what happens when war is no longer enough?

    Summary

    Johnny Cooper is a roguish, impulsive, queer man and the youngest of the original L Detachment of the SAS. He's survived a hundred nights he shouldn't have. But in October of 1943 his number comes up. In saving his best friend, Reg Seekings from a shelled truck in Termoli, Italy, Johnny is hit in the back by a sniper. His injuries at Termoli are life changing. He finds himself near death, paralyzed from the chest down, and transported to Stoke Mandeville where he finds himself at the center of a medical revolution. Before now paralyzed men were left to die, but now under the care of Dr. Ludwig Guttmann he stands a fighting chance, not just of survival but recovery. Johnny's story follows the early days of the disability and queer rights movement, and the advent of the paralympic games. And yes, Johnny Cooper will be armed once more, just not quite in the way you might expect.
