    Summary

    “Who are you? And what are you doing here?”

    What is—?

    He’s…

    He’s awake. He’s upright. The fire splitting his spine is entirely gone. Instead there’s a fist pressed against his chest nearly hard enough to bruise, keeping him pinned to the wall behind him.

    And Leon Kennedy is glaring at him, eyes angry and distrusting—and cold, that’s the strange thing. Cold, as if Luis didn’t take his last breath before those very same eyes not thirty seconds ago.

    (Or: Luis, in a time loop.)

    Summary

    “You died.” Paddy saw his body, how the sand enveloped his lifeless face like a vestal shroud. The image has haunted him for months.

    “Aye,” says Eoin, “something like that.”

    Summary

    So when Paddy, crossing the Place des Vosges one late summer afternoon, caught sight of a familiar, lanky figure reclining on one of the benches there and felt the old spark of interest light him up again, he was taken by surprise but he was not surprised. After all, he thought, he’d always quite fancied Bill Stirling.

     

    Bill and Paddy meet for the first time before they’re ready for each other. The spark is there but everything else is wrong. They meet a second time and then a third but it isn’t until years later when their paths cross in Paris that they are both in a place where a relationship between them might work—if they can let go of the hurts and tragedies of their pasts and embrace the possibilities of a future together.

    Summary

    In the unofficial War Diaries of the SAS, Eoin McGonigal’s first postwar mission with SAS 1 was officially recorded as Operation Crèche. But for the few who were there and many who were not, when the story was told in barracks and mess rooms, it was referred to as ‘Paddy Mayne’s Honeymoon Tour’.

    Mention of the adjective fucking was optional, but encouraged.

    Summary

    He found, to his surprise, that he actually missed the sight of Bill Stirling slouching towards him across war-torn villages, his face like a thundercloud. He missed their sparring, missed the brief, bright flare of true companionship between them and the promise it had held. Which was perhaps why, when Bill wrote to him at the Ayrshire camp, a letter sent from his estate barely thirty miles away, Paddy took the letter to a private place and read it carefully. And then, almost without meaning to, he wrote back.

     

    Bill and Paddy strike up an unlikely correspondence in Scotland which survives the war and lasts for years. As their friendship strengthens and deepens, as it teeters on the dangerous edge of something more, they help each other through difficult times and hard decisions and realisations about who they truly are, until, in the end, they find their way back where they belong.

    With each other.

    Summary

    “Who. The fuck. Are you?”
    “Uh.” Bill scrambled to his feet then stood there, failing entirely in his efforts not to stare. “I’m Bill Stirling. David Stirling’s older brother. David sent me to fetch you.”
    Fetch me?” Paddy Mayne’s gaze raked over him, trailed slowly from his face down his body then back up to his face again. His eyes—deep blue, sharp and intelligent—met Bill’s. “Aye,” he drawled. “I reckon you could.”
    Then that beautiful mouth curled into a smile
    Oh, Bill thought. Oh no. Oh, fuck.

     

    Paddy and Bill drive the length of the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland, on their way to David's wedding. Numerous circumstances befall them along the way, including, much to their annoyance, falling in love.

    Summary

    “Fuck off,” he’d eventually said, with rolled eyes and a half-hearted glare. And then he’d taken the money.

    So yes, that had been the first time Spider had, in a roundabout way, paid him for sex.

    But it wasn’t the last, and it only got more explicit.

    Summary

    James Webb is not on Grindr. Grindr is a dim swamp of an app, populated with and built for ugly people with low standards. Webb wouldn't be caught dead on it.

    That's his story, and he'll stick to it come rain, hail, or torture.

    It is, of course, a lie.

    Summary

    He's made it 11 days clean out in the real world, since checking out of rehab. He declines every invitation to drinks, to dinner, he's the last one at the office, he pounds San Pellegrino and plays with his kids on the weekends. He's the picture of perfect health. He's a family man. He wants to do drugs so fucking badly.

    (or, Kendall checks himself out of his first stint in rehab, goes on a bender, and reunites with Stewy for old times' sake.)

    Stewy opens the villa’s screen door at 11PM, barefoot in his cotton bathrobe, rum and lemonade in hand, and squints at the shadowy figure huddled on the other side.

    “I want to play the friend card,” Kendall says, panting.

    Ladybug and Tangerine are exes when the events of Bullet Train happen. Canon is tailored appropriately and/or thrown out the window as the author saw fit.
