    Summary

    Noctis is still laughing when Ignis reaches their table, and tilts a crooked grin up at his advisor, all soft edges and brightness despite the tired shadows under his eyes. Ignis can’t help but smile back, can’t help the curl of warm fondness that fills his chest as he turns to greet Prompto in turn.

    Prompto looks surprised by the hello but it only takes him a moment to recover. “Hey, Iggy,” he says, pink-faced and pleased.

    Summary

    Dust still swirls in plumes around them, and he can still feel the shifting of debris as it settles. He sees his friends in only outlines, but their movements are clearly panicked and he still can’t really think but it scares him. His head hurts. His thoughts are like drifting clouds.
    Edward wished the lightheartedness could have lasted, but it never did. He always found a way to smother it.

    -or-

    Edward will never let somebody get hurt when it could be him instead. Roy Mustang just wants to keep the kid from killing himself before he's even a teenager.

    Summary

    Time became a foreign concept, but he was aware of it passing, could see it in the way the concerned faces looming over him multiplied, hands of different sizes tapped insistently against his face, and the distance the clouds had moved. It was a lazy sort of existence, and he didn’t feel any strong urge to shake himself out of it.

    Summary

    Death is not the worst thing that can happen to a man.

    To break him, you must first shatter his body—again and again and again. Then, you take his mind, his will, his name. You strip him down to something unrecognisable, reshape him into something he was never meant to be. Survival is its own kind of cruelty, and some wounds don’t heal. Some don’t even scar.

    Because war doesn’t just take—it remakes. It chews men up and spits them out as something else: hollowed out, stitched haphazardly, and left to stumble forward. No side is ever truly victorious, not when the battlefield becomes a graveyard, and the survivors are left carrying its ghosts. No matter who wins, the cost is always the same: death. the weight of what can never be undone.

    All wars end the same.

    -
    This is the story of Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, and the Howling Commandos. The war they fought. The men they lost. The scars they carried. The love that blossoms, even in the darkest of places, far behind enemy lines.

    Before the ice. Before the Winter Soldier.

    Before it all got worse .

    Summary

    ---Bucky Barnes & Steve Rodgers: hydra experiment to commando. Dancing monkey to Captain. Best-friends and a little more to the end of their first war.

     

    ( Bucky clenches his fingers tighter, and pulls him until he follows, stumbling against a tree farther away from the hustle. He lets go to practically hug the bark of the tree, looks up at the canopy and around him again. Steve, thinking him delirious, reaches out to check his temperature. Bucky’s eyes shoot to him as he does, bright and possessed.

    “Is this real, Steve?” He asks, sounding like he’s almost begging. “Is this real? It feels real, like, like the tree and ---and you,” he clenches a hand around the zip of Steve’s jacket, digging the metal into his palm. “But not you at the same time. But you feel…Is this...? Tell me it’s real.” )
