    Summary

    Tender like a bruise, tender like a wound. Tender like a soft, soft kiss to the side of his temple, a moth landing on the back of his hand and fluttering staring wings. His spirit has nothing to touch, so he suffices for his own, and for his pretty compass, gently stroking the tines in between his fingers.

    Summary

    Three Blue soldiers arrive at Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha. It's just a perfectly normal assignment in the middle of nowhere, right? ...Right?

    Except when those soldiers are Private Church, Lavernius Tucker, and Captain Flowers: an assassin, a rebel, and the Alpha AI.

    Blood Gulch doesn't seem quite as boring any longer.

    -------------

    Or, a pre-season 1 story about Alpha dealing with trauma and his forgotten memories of Project Freelancer, while slowly becoming friends with Tucker.

    Chap 17: Crash Landing On You

    “Did you pick this hotel, Dr. Ishtar? The decor is trying a bit too hard,” he quipped.

    Isis cocked her head to the side, letting her hair fall down her back, exposing her neck, and was rewarded with a minor intake of breath. “Well, it’s a good thing it’s not my house, then. That’s in–”

    “Cairo,” Seto finished triumphantly, eagerly.

    Her answering smile was incredibly gratifying, as was the brief surprised furrow of her brow.

    “Yes,” Isis replied, her heart doing something a little painful, a little sweet. He remembered. He paid attention. “Cairo.”

    She leaned forward, just a bit. Seto didn’t pull away. “I’d like you to see it soon. Then you can judge properly.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I adore every flavor of mental breakdown Kaiba experiences here while still being low stakes, funny, and just enough drama to keep things interesting.
