Summary
You peel the tape in slow, careful inches. He doesn’t make a sound, but his shoulders tighten. Lateral flank, deep graze stitched neat, the surrounding skin still angry but clean. You flood the pad with saline, tip your head, blot with gauze and patience. He watches your hands, not the wound.
“Does it sting?”
“Nah.” Beat. “A bit.”
You smile. “Nearly done. This looks like it hurt.”
Ghost huffs, aims for light and misses. “Add it to the collection,” he mutters. “Another disgusting mark for a bloke who looks like a patchwork dog.”
You freeze.

Summary
"If faith could be made flesh, if it could walk and breathe and laugh, it would be you."
In the vast meadows of Kentucky, you live alone on your small ranch. One day, a lone gunslinger, battered and weary, rides up to your home and collapses at your feet. For some reason, your heart made you bring him inside, tending to his wounds. In your care, he finds a reason to live again, swearing to stay by your side and give his life to you, even if you didn't know it yet.

Summary
[Unknown number]: Never took you for one to question orders.
[You]: Never took you for one to put personal life before our job.Simon waited patiently under the overhanging lip of the hangar. The Kevlar of his glove crinkled as his fingers curled around the hand of his duffle bag. The rain created a gentle buzz against the metal.
It took a while for the other bubble to appear, as if the other person – most likely Price, judging by the vocabulary used in the texts – was thinking about the right thing to say.
And the right thing it was, when the words fluttered on Simon’s phone screen.
[Unknown number]: About time you put yours first, though.
────────────
Or; Simon is deployed for the first time since the beginning of your relationship. Instead of finding purpose in keeping the world clean, he finds it in keeping himself alive, because he's never been this eager to come home.

Summary
It’s been so long since Simon looked at you like he truly wanted you—like nothing else in the world mattered more.
For months, his eyes have wandered everywhere but to you, and until now, you thought that was a blessing. Because if he didn’t look at you this way, maybe letting him go would’ve been easier.
But now, as his eyes holds yours, you can’t fathom how you’ve managed to go so long without it.
────────────
Or; You do your best to heal, while Simon follows his own path—until life, in its strange way, brings you back together, with Simon stepping right back in.

Summary
DESPERATE!!! PhD STUDENT LOOKING FOR A FLATMATE. NO SPECIFIC GENDER OR AGE AS LONG AS YOU CAN PAY RENT ON TIME. Two-bedroom flat, third floor, no elevator. If interested, please contact this number.
At the end of the flyer, the paper was cut into tear-off strips, so that interested individuals could rip the section with the phone number.
He liked that first word: desperate. He wondered if this person was as desperate as he was. Would they accept a man who wore a balaclava and looked proper sketchy? How desperate were they, really, if he asked to rent on verbal agreement – no contracts, no signatures whatsoever?
He decided he wanted to test that before he died of mold poisoning.
───────────
Or; Simon has to lie low and go dark for an undefined period of time. While trudging along the unbearably long, dark alley that's his life, he finds the light at the end of tunnel, and it's shaped like you.
