Summary
Taking one last gulp he stood up. The feeling of power just striking him once. The gun was firmly in his palm, off safety and ready to hit, he climbed to the edge, peering over; It wasn't beautiful, it wasn't that light at the end of the tunnel, but at least he could fly for that split second.

Summary
After accidentally killing Mandy’s abusive boyfriend six years prior, Mickey was sentenced to prison. After he gets out on parole, he goes through the training to be a Peer Support Specialist and lands a job at the same agency where Ian also works as a Peer Support Specialist. Ian’s dating some rich guy, but Mickey thinks he could do so much better, especially when he sees the bruises on his wrists and face and hears how his boyfriend talks to him when the guy comes to pick him up at the end of his shifts. How can Mickey convince Ian that he deserves better, and that better might just look like a 28-year-old ex-thug turned support counselor?

Summary
Klaus Hargreeves has always lived on the edge of addiction, of life, of his own unravelling. But when he's brutally assaulted by someone he trusted, the thin line he walks finally crumbles beneath him. With no waypoint but a handful of pills and a syringe, he spirals into a silence that ends up too heavy to carry by himself.
His brother Diego finds him half-dead and haunted. He brings him home in a last-ditch effort to save what’s left of The Seance. But Diego’s not whole either. Still wrestling with his own trauma and desperate to be better, he’s barely holding together the new life he’s trying to build.
Shotgun Opera is a story about what comes after the worst night of your life. About bruised bodies, broken minds, and the kind of survival that doesn’t come clean. Gritty, visceral, and unapologetically raw, this is not a story of redemption, but it just might be the beginning.

Summary
When Dave gets sent to A Shau Valley in Vietnam, he is reminded of the 'prophet' who tried to stop him enlisting by telling him he would die there. He tries to ignore the memories at first, but it becomes difficult after the man himself appears in front of him one night, seemingly with no idea that they had ever met before.
Or, their Vietnam (love) story, but in the alternate timeline where Dave has already met Klaus in Texas, and realises that maybe what the 'prophet' said was real.
