Summary
If it looked like Cassian and it sounded like Cassian, but it was pretending very hard not to be Cassian, Brasso had learned that more often than not it was best to just play along. He looked up and down the quiet street for any signs that they were being watched, or Cassian was being tailed. Cassian copied him, turning ostentatiously this way and that.
"Sir? Are you free to talk?"

Day 23: No whipping posts in the band AU, just have to rely on good old-fashioned kicking :’)CW: a beating (inside a tent, so claustrophobia warning!), broken ribs, general GRM nastiness and references to what went down between Francis and Joleta and Joleta’s overdose. Joleta lying about things, Francis using whisky as a painkiller, also guitars as weapons.

Day 21: This is admittedly light on the whump, and more about the threat of whump. But there is a toddler with an ouchy head and Philippa with a Bad Feeling About This. Set simultaneous to the collapse of the Whump Room (see Whumptober 2022 days 5, 12 + 13). Philippa is determined to keep the children on the ashram safe, whoever their parents are. -

Day 20: I did the Worst Thing a Lymond fan can do. I whumped the Somervilles. In the band AU, Christian Stewart isn't riding a horse alone, she's in the motorbike sidecar of Gideon Somerville.
CW: references to road accidents, hospitals, terminal injuries. Death of close family member. As you’ll see, some details from canon have been changed. -

Day 18: The loss of Diccon and Christopher Chancellor, set instead on the real-life oil rig disaster on the Piper Alpha. I’m annoyed I didn’t check details in RC first, and I know how I’d change some things if I was starting again, but here we are. Again, consider it a draft.
CW: fire, explosions, risk of drowning, heights, suicidal thoughts, death, reference to people being trapped in a building during a fire and then also underwater. All leaning heavily on accounts from a real life disaster on the Piper Alpha rig, click here for source. But be aware the link contains all this and more in the survivors' eye-witness accounts. -

Days 16 and 17: Pretty much a straight re-write of the scene after the Tour des Minimes in Queens’ Play. I had a crisis of confidence about...everything, but mainly writing, and needed to just hold Dorothy’s hand and get something down.
CW: injuries, pain, references to building collapse, hospitals. Opiates and other drugs, but generally not non-consensual, and being used - broadly - for their intended purpose.. -

Day 15: Francis responding to Will's injury, though not quite ‘processing’ it because he has a lot going on and really needs to sleep.
CW: hospital setting, reference to stabbing and operations, nose-bleed and broken nose, drugs mention, coming down, pregnancy mention, injury and wound care, vague allusions to SA (but only if you know what happened with Joleta, which...you do, so I’m flagging it). -

Day 14: This one is set immediately after Breathe for Two (see my other band AU fic). Oonagh is nine months pregnant and has realised she's trapped on the ashram she thought she was free to leave. It's all Graham Reid Malett's fault, but she has a plan to escape him.
CW: pregnancy and symptoms of low blood pressure, references to terrorism training and guns, also to DV. I’m afraid Graham Reid Malett also turns up, so be prepared for that: some blood and violence. -

Days 12 and 13: Francis is captured sneaking around Graham Reid Malett's remote ashram, trying to free his friends and family. Unfortunately, this is just where GRM wants him - he has plans for Francis to turn his musical talents to Graham's own projects...
Technically, we’re getting down to the duel at Zuara. But that manifests differently in the AU. With more...torture, basically.
CW for ummm where to start. Imprisonment, solitary confinement, darkness, torture, beatings, SA, psychological fuckery, drugging, restraint, psychiatric malpractice, personal data and privacy breaches, oh yes, limb dislocation, childbirth mention, allusions to rape and SA...😬 oh and cave ins! Flooding. Violent use of stationery. Blood. Homophobic slurs. Threats of the care system and the use of lobotomy. Can I just say CW Graham Reid Malett? It would save time. -

Day 11: Richard caring for Francis after his injury and suicide attempt. Set immediately after a previous Whumptober fic, "Stay with me", Richard nursing Francis in GoK (yep the season/timeline is a bit different here).CW: aftermath of suicide attempt, overdose, prescription drugs, gsw reference, injury and bleeding. Description of wounds and stitches, references to sectarianism and terrorism.

Day 10: riffing on the tekke scene. Everyone is behaving badly, but Jerott in particular deserves to be tased. CW: casual bigotry about Native Americans, drug use (mescaline), hallucinations, SA, followed by use of an electric prod on another person. Also big aaagh I don't have a sensitivity reader for this. Concrit will be accepted and acted upon, but by and large the warnings are for Jerott being deliberately obtuse. -

Day 9: Francis' ride north after he hears about Richard and Sybilla's ship foundering. He thinks back to the disaster that killed Richard Chancellor. CW for suspected close family deaths. Drowning and passenger ferry sinking (based on the ro-ro (roll on roll off) ferry disaster off Zeebrugge in 1987), with Francis’ traumatic memories surrounding Richard Chancellor’s death in an oil rig explosion (based on the 1988 Piper Alpha disaster). So fire, drowning, explosions, etc. Plus references to being drunk and vomiting, and Francis’ background suicidal inclinations. Because Checkmate is laugh-a-minute.Unfortunately there are a few details I didn't look up in RC when writing this, so consider is a draft.

Title is from Tori Amos' song 'Me and a Gun'. With that in mind, and the ARCHIVE WARNING, please be advised this is horrible. I'm sorry if you subscribe to my profile and get this in your inbox!! I'm sorry. So sorry. But not quite sorry enough not to have written and posted this.
