    Summary

    I lay waiting, reads the message, between turf-face and demesne wall, between heathery levels and glass-toothed stone

    So, Eoin types back, you’re outside.

    Paddy, Eoin and Fraser climb a mountain. Eoin is carrying the weight of his unprocessed attraction to his best friend along with the aftermath of a dramatic accident; Paddy is carrying the sort of rucksack that would topple most people; Fraser is carrying years of frustration towards the other two. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

    (can be read as a stand-alone)

    Summary

    Maybe it’s only right that he finds himself in Belfast, a city tense with the start of something that promises bloodshed. His da, God rest his sweet soul, was a life-long Orange Order man, so this should be the perfect opportunity: the war Paddy was born ready for and something to fucking do.

    The trouble of it is, Paddy hates the RUC, and he’s already been barred from most of the pubs in East Belfast.

    OR: Paddy Mayne doesn’t care for sectarian politics, at least, not until he meets a certain Catholic boy who loves to court trouble.

    Summary

    Ambrose takes the turning for Newtownards and feels a different sort of tension start to fill the air.

    "Paddy?" Eoin whispers. There's finally a crack in his voice, not just this horrible blankness.

    "Who else?" As soon as Ambrose says it, he realises that that's not as flippant a comment as he meant it to be. Because, honestly, who else?

    Summary

    Eoin's eyes flicker, skip in Paddy's direction then settle just a little away again. And oh. Okay. Paddy understands.

    "Can you see me, at all?" he asks.

    The jerky shake of Eoin's head gives him all the answer he needs. "Not much," he says. "I'm sorry."
