    Summary

    For another night, the latest in a string he's lost count of, Simon wakes up in a sweat, heaving and breathless. Alone in the dark he can give in, and hold on to the tingle that lingers on his skin for as long as it'll stay. It's never specific. No fantasy or scenario. The depth of this, the way he wants is so much more than that.

    Simon wants Johnny so badly it's a waking dream when it seems like he'll have his chance.

    If he doesn't fumble it, that is.

    Summary

    What they do– it's not love.

    If it is love, it's an animal kind of love. Proper domestication takes thousands of years and they're just the first generation of it. They scrounge each other's carcasses and they nip each other's fingers and they call mutualism a relationship because they're still stuck pretending they're human and not a different type of creature entirely.

    Soap loves him, because he's meant to, and he's choosing to, and because he's got the strings of fate around his neck like a garrote.

     

    (One of the dogs at the Predmostí burial site, 27-thousand years ago, was found with a bone in its mouth.)

    Summary

    “I was told your Captain wants a meeting with us,” sitting back on his haunches, Skull-face tilts his head to the side. This time, when he pushes the radio back into Soap’s face, it's turned on. “This is me, offering. But you’re not going to ruin my operation. Pick your battle, ‘Soap’.”

    Or,

    Roba has been wandering freely for far too long. Task Force 141 is deployed to track him down all the way to Mexico– right into the loving arms of a brand-new, unaffiliated militia of masked men hunting for the very same target.

    Summary

    Your quartermaster lives mostly in the corner of your eye, dogging your steps like a half-formed shadow. He would look foolish except that he doesn’t. It suits him perfectly, this way of being—at your side, a half-step behind, your eyes and your voice and your other hand. He’s never called you Captain seriously. Even in the beginning, some twist of his voice told you that he took it as a joke, and it made your blood boil with tempered rage, but he was a sharp rigger and a sharper quartermaster, and eventually he started calling you Charles, that same twist in his flighty sparrow-voice, and somehow that was alright, wasn’t it?
