Summary
The dream, this time, appears normal. A memory of him and Cayde in the Pale Heart, sat around the campfire, talking. Crow basks in it. He's listening to the crackle of the campfire and the sound of crickets when everything goes quiet - like how a forest goes silent when a predator approaches. A feeling of unease settles over him, that all too familiar sensation in his head returning.
Cayde speaks then, his voice foreign and far away, "𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮. 𝘏𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨."
- With the Witness, and Cayde, gone, Crow settles in as the new Hunter Vanguard. But it's not long before he starts seeing and hearing things that make him wonder if any of it's truly over.

Summary
Eventually, Crow sighs and turns towards him, a conflicted expression on his face.
“Is… is there a reason you didn’t kill me?” His eyes squint slightly, like he’s in pain. Cayde can see the guilt behind them.
Unsure how to answer, Cayde brings his legs back down, rubbing a hand down his face. “Well, like I said, I thought about it. A lot.” He frowns, spinning Ace on his fingers. “But every time that crossed my mind, I’d see Glint and I’d remember who you really are. Uldren took my life, but you didn’t. I can’t make you pay for his mistakes.”
- After being attacked on the journey home following the defeat of the Witness, Cayde and Crow find themselves stranded on Europa.

Summary
"Speaking of Buck, you should stop dating Marisol."
Eddie lets out a strangled noise of surprise, choking on the swig of beer he'd just taken. "What— I'm sorry, what does that have to do with Buck?"
Christopher sends him the look, the one where he has his eyebrows raised and lips pulled into a tight line, like he's exasperated, while also not believing a word his dad is saying. "He's single now, and we both know you'd be happier dating each other."
"Jesus Christ."
— or, When Christopher finds out that Buck broke up with his girlfriend, he pounces on the opportunity to knock some sense into his dad. Eddie makes some poor (or good, technically) decisions.

Summary
“Okay, that is a beautiful man.” Chimney says, pointing behind Buck towards the locker room.
Hen’s eyes are fixed in the same direction. “Where’s the lie? And I like girls.”
Buck furrows his brows, feeling just a little bit jealous at some other guy getting attention, and turns to see what all the fuss is about. He’s about to roll his eyes and say “no way, I’m way hotter” before he realises the man that he’s staring at isn’t just some guy.
That’s Eddie Diaz. The same Eddie Diaz that was Buck’s partner for two tours through Afghanistan, the same Eddie that Buck lived with for three years, the same Eddie who Buck was raising a kid with.
The same Eddie Diaz that Buck has missed so fucking much.
— Buck meets Eddie in the Army, falls in love, loses him, gains him and falls in love all over again.

Summary
Being a Hunter can be just as dangerous as it is fun. The wilds are your home, and you often get to play by your own rules. But sometimes in life, fate has it out for you and you gotta don a nice suit and say some pretty lines to the guy that shot you.

Summary
“You’re not busy Cayde, so stop pretending to look through the weapon caches. I’m here to talk to you about my pa—”
“Yes! I know!” He threw up his arms helplessly. “Your past, your past…that’s all you ever want to talk about. Look, kid…You got something special. You got something people almost never get.”
“And what’s that?”
“A second chance.” Finally at this Crow dropped his folded arms, his body language shifting. “You’re wastin’ it by trying to figure out what you did with the first one.”
“Would you at least explain why…You won’t tell me?”
Cayde looked deep in thought about this, as if carefully considering his words before he spoke again. “You have to make your own fate, Crow. Walk your own path. Nothin’ in your past is gonna help you do that.”
“You were in my past. You helped me.”
“Yes, and I’m helping you now. In the present. Where it matters.” Cayde sighed and walked up to Crow, placing a hand on his shoulder. “Please let it go. Trust me on this.”

Summary
He focused in on the Guardian’s face, saw the hope in their eyes, the devastation in the wrinkle of their brow, and knew it was worth it. It had to be worth it. This wasn’t his second chance at life. More like his third, fourth chance. What was he thinking, wishing for more? That wasn’t in the cards for him any longer. His friend right in front of him needed this. That had to be enough.
As he put on a brave face, gave his last goodbye, and felt himself drift into the Light, it was strange that it didn’t feel like enough, like peace and rest. All he felt instead was regret.

“Hello,” slurs Scar, “you wouldn’t happen to know where a man such as myself… would find… an eligible bachelor to spend a little bit of time with?”
Grian blinks. “Oh, you are plastered.”
or, the "you got so drunk you asked your husband if he was single" trope, but with added mumbo being 100% done with this nonsense.- Language:
