Summary
“Do you want me?” Speirs asked bluntly, eyes piercing through him, unblinking. There was no waver in his voice, no fear of rejection or scandal. Just a matter-of-factly question, with a yes or no answer.

Summary
The end of the war brings a promise of hope; home seems so close, happiness seems to be within arms reach. They're alive and there's a whole world out there for the taking, just waiting for them to claim it. If only it could be that easy, when one has lost and found oneself a world away.

Summary
It’s torture. Speirs touches him— clasps his shoulder, puts his hand on his back as they look together at a map, leans into his space a little too much. On one pathetically memorable occasion, he takes a leaf off Carwood’s hair and his fingers graze Lipton’s eyebrow. It’s torture; Speirs is giving him enough air to keep him alive, but he’s drowning in the space between them.
