    Summary

    “You came.”

    Crosshair crosses his arms. “Don’t sound so surprised, Hunter. You know your value to the Empire.”

    Hunter’s face smooths over. “Is that all? Is that the only reason you came?”

    Their first mission for Cid goes badly. Captured by the Zygerrians, Hunter is sold off to be a sex slave before he and the Batch can escape. Unwilling to drag the rest of the squad to where he’s been taken, and not only because they have a kid to protect, Hunter turns to the one brother who has the resources to get him out: Crosshair. Even if calling Crosshair means calling the Empire. There was a time when Crosshair would do anything to protect them.

    Summary

    Crosshair was standing so close, and his scent pervaded Hunter’s senses, blaster oil and brine, plus a hint of something sweet that was all his own. Hunter resisted the urge to turn around and press his nose to Crosshair’s collarbone to soak it up all the better.

    Biting the inside of his cheek in recrimination, he watched as Crosshair parted his hair and began snipping the ends. His hands were sure despite his inexperience, and Hunter found the sight of his waves wound around the same fingers that were usually at the trigger of a Firepuncher utterly entrancing.

    Crosshair convinces Hunter to grow his hair out and becomes the only person he trusts to cut it. As the war rages on around them, the private ritual brings them both considerable comfort.

    But when Order 66 comes through, they go from standing resolutely with each other to being on opposing sides of the conflict.

    Years later, after the Batch joins forces with the fledgling resistance to break Crosshair out of captivity, he and Hunter begin to pick up the pieces of their shattered bond. After everything, can they salvage what they once were to each other? Or has the Empire robbed them of that, too?

    Summary

    [The only sound was the whispering of the waves, carrying on the breeze, sailing into nothingness.
    And suddenly the infinitely aching realisation that Crosshair would not resurface on his own hit him like a dagger in the chest.]

    It is Crosshair's capsule that does not resurface from the Kaminoan waters. This time, Hunter won't leave him behind.
    Not again.
