Summary
Hunter didn’t know how to lose. He didn’t know how to lose a mission, or a brother, or their means of survival. To lose the closest place to a home they ever had, as haunting as their memories on Kamino were. Yet here he was, losing those things all the same.
Hunter sits with his thoughts on Bracca after Wrecker's chip has activated and quickly realizes that he has one massive weakness: his unfamiliarity with loss.

Summary
One of Wrecker’s best-kept secrets was that he hated making mistakes. And yet he made mistakes all the time. He was just good at taking them in stride. After all, there was nothing jovial laughter couldn’t hide.
But there was something about this particular mistake that Wrecker couldn’t move past. Not this time.
In the days following the tumultuous events on Bracca, Wrecker tries to make up for all the damage that's left in the wake of his own uncontrollable destruction.

Omega, who had once been attentive as ever at Hunter’s side, was now slumped over in unmistakable slumber.

Summary
In the eyes of the Empire, they’re dead. In the eyes of their brother, they’re traitors. In their own eyes, they’re survivors - and, above all else, they’re family. And all Hunter could ever want for his family is peace, safety, and security.
But if he’s learned one thing since the Republic fell, it’s that peace comes with a price, and a high one at that. As Hunter navigates training Omega, embodying a mercenary, and supporting his family in the days, weeks, and months after Kamino's fall, he begins to realize that their designated purpose may not be their destiny after all, and there may still be hope for a better life.
And that hope lies with the child in his charge.

Summary
Omega’s entire body was shaking, yet she still fought her hardest to reach the comm. She couldn’t pull too hard on her wound—she at least still had enough wits about her to remember that—but Omega did everything else she could to try to reach it. She even tried kicking her feet out, grunting amidst her desperate sobs as she tried to catch her foot on the device.
Nothing worked. Omega’s chest heaved with gasping breaths and sobs when she finally stopped, the shaking somehow worsening now as she closed her eyes and tried to at least collect enough air to cry out instead.
“Hunter!” Omega hoped her echoing voice would work in her favor this time instead of against her. She let out another few hiccuping sobs before she gathered enough breath to yell even louder. “Hunter!”
Omega accidentally gets herself seriously hurt on a job, and there's only one person she can think of crying out for when she needs them most.

Summary
“No!” Omega growled as she pulled hard at the guards who held her. Their grips went tight enough to make her wince, but she didn’t stop fighting them. “Leave him alone!”
Hunter spit out blood at the guard’s boots and circled his jaw, shaking his head before he offered Omega a nod of reassurance. She whimpered at the sight of his bleeding lip, which was already split, and the bruising that had started to appear along his jawline. “It’s okay, kid. I can take it.”
“For now.” The masked man turned to face Omega, his hands crossed over his chest as if this was nothing more than a diplomatic exchange. It made her blood boil even more. “The better you are at answering our questions, the less he has to get hurt. Are we clear?”
The limits of both Hunter's and Omega's strength are tested when they're caught in the middle of a mission, forcing Omega to choose between keeping Hunter safe and exposing the rest of their squad.

Summary
His eyes had to be playing tricks on him—but they weren’t, because soon, the announcer was confirming his own horrified thoughts. “Tech? Anything else on this guy? No? Guess he's a late arrival. Is that his name? Tech? Just Tech?”
Hunter palmed his forehead and let out the heaviest sigh he’d ever heard. “You’ve got to be kriffing kidding me.”
Echo had joined him in a stressed posture. “We leave them for one rotation…”
Hunter and Echo come across an interesting broadcast on the way back from their nerf nuggets delivery, which leads to Hunter worrying even more about their precarious arrangement with Cid.

Summary
“But you don’t have to be that strong anymore. Not with me.” Hunter took one of her anxious hands in his and nodded. “You’re safe now.” He gave her hand a gentle squeeze. “I promise.”
Hunter would understand if she didn’t believe him. After all, he had let her be taken to Tantiss in the first place—and then he hadn’t even been the one to find and rescue her. He had failed her.
But he wouldn’t fail her again.
Hunter is Omega's safest space in the galaxy, and the night she returns home, he's determined to remind her of that, despite his own self-doubt.

Summary
“Something’s wrong with him.”
Wrecker was taken aback by Omega’s sudden statement. Her serious tone was a stark contrast to the playfulness of what they had been doing most of the morning. Omega watched his brow furrow in the corner of her eye as she bent down to analyze another shell.
His confusion was genuine. “Crosshair?” Wrecker let out a fond scoff. “Nah, he’s always been this way. He’ll be ready to talk eventually.”
Omega shook her head and held tighter to the shell in her grasp. “I’m not talking about Crosshair.”
Omega wants things to go back to normal after escaping Tantiss. Hunter wants to keep her safe from everything, including himself.
But what they need is to stop hiding from each other, and they're both done waiting.

Summary
That’s when it hit him just as hard as the impact he had taken against the ice. Hunter wasn’t on Daro, and that sure as blazes wasn’t Tech. That was Crosshair.

Hunter's hiding a lot more than just physical pain after breaking through the ice on Barton IV, and there's only one member of the squad who's brave enough to confront him about it.

Summary
Hunter kept his eyes on the fading light of Pabu’s sun but leaned his head towards Crosshair as he finally broke their silence. “I’m sorry.”
Crosshair’s brow rose, and he cut his gaze at his eldest brother. His voice was just as cool and coiled as usual when he responded. “For what?”
Hunter shook his head aimlessly. What wasn’t he sorry for? He had gone against his own word in leaving Crosshair behind, and that had ultimately led to his brother being imprisoned and tortured by the Empire. He hadn’t even been able to help Crosshair escape from that wretched place. To make matters worse, his failed attempt at doing so had led directly to their brother’s death.
Really, there was an endless list of things Hunter was sorry for, and that was just where Crosshair was concerned. But the sergeant decided on one statement that summed it all up.
“I failed you.”
In which Hunter decides to talk it out more with Crosshair after Barton IV, and they finally fall upon the broken pieces of one another that they'll need to work together to pick back up again.

Summary
The cool touch of the shuttle’s metal was unmistakable beneath him as he sat on its long nose. The blue and white lights of hyperspace flickered around him, clueing him into the fact that he was, in fact, merely dreaming, despite the realness of it all.
But Crosshair wasn’t alone. He didn’t have to glance over to know who was at his side, because it was the same person every time.
Crosshair dreams of Hunter and the one thing he wants to tell him.
(Or, Crosshair's perspective of Hunter's dream from Sanctuary.)

Summary
He hadn’t broken after Wrecker’s chip had activated, or after everything on Kamino. He hadn’t even broken when Echo left, or when Tech… fell. But now, something had shattered him, and Omega wasn't going to let him pick up the pieces by himself. They would do it together.
The night after their return from Tantiss, both Hunter and Omega try to be strong for one another, just to find that they're avoiding what they actually need the most: each other.

Summary
He had always figured the time would come when he would find her here. The chaos of the last few months had made it easy to bury the pain of the past, but if Hunter had learned one thing during the war, it was that grief was loudest in the quiet. And that stillness, that hard-earned peace, had come with a price.
It was time for Hunter to pay it by rescuing Omega from something other than the greed of the Kaminoans and the cruelty of the Empire.
When Omega goes missing in the middle of the night, Hunter quickly realizes that it's time to face the painful void left in the wake of their victory.

Summary
Omega gave him a once-over. “You’re worried about me.”
Hunter returned the look. “Because you’re worried about something, too.” He grimaced. “And you don’t want to tell us what it is.”
Omega let out a heavy sigh. She closed her eyes, tightening her hands into fists before releasing them. This wasn’t a conversation she could run from, and she was a fool for ever thinking she could hide it from Hunter.
When Omega opens up to Hunter about her desire to fight against the Empire, nothing goes according to plan, and they're both forced to reckon with what it truly means to be a protector - and be protected.
