    Summary

    About 30 in the street, at least 10 more in the building. One woman with a single GSW to the leg, none other critically injured. Four police chargers and six officers, all armed, more inbound.

    One suspect. Male. Small caliber handgun and a hostage.

    Summary

    Nova slowly reaches out a tiny hand, brushing her fingertips across the birthmark on his face. The touch is light, barely there, but it hits him like a wave, a connection so pure and immediate that it fills his chest with a warmth he can hardly contain.

    “Hi,” she murmurs softly, and when he smiles back at her, she lets out the smallest giggle, her eyes lighting up. It’s the most beautiful sound he’s ever heard, and in that moment, the weight of everything—his fears, his doubts, his past mistakes—falls away.

    It’s like he’s discovering a part of himself he didn’t know existed, a love so powerful it feels like it’s been there all along, waiting for her. The way she looks at him, the way she seems to see him without needing to know who he is or where he’s been, fills him with a sense of purpose that feels both exhilarating and humbling.

    or

    The one where Buck's world gets turned upside down when he gains custody of a daughter he never knew existed.

    Summary

    “Truly my soul finds rest in God: my salvation comes from him.
    Truly he is my rock and my salvation”
    ~ Psalm 62


    Nicholas wishes he could believe.
    It would finally make him worthy.
    Worthy of this man.

    But belief is a fickle, wicked thing.

    Summary

    Regulus accepted his lot in life a long time ago. Long before his father got sick. Long before his brother left. Long before his mother got sick of his father’s sickness.

    It might have been as early as before he could walk, or even talk. Maybe, even in the fleshy shelter of his mother’s womb, he knew he was fated to a life lived for other people. A life without sunshine and holidays, without jazz music, rock music, dessert, pets, romance.

    It’s not as if he didn’t want those things. Of course he did. He wanted those things like any other boy growing up in England in the 1960s and 70s. Sex and drugs and cigarettes; he wanted them. He just wasn’t allowed those things. Even when his mother couldn’t stop him because he was old enough to go out and take them, he wasn’t allowed those things.

    That was before Remus, and everything that came after.

    But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
