    Summary

    “You are not well,” Salvador returns. “You are overflowing with…” he pauses to search for the word and he finds it, “grief. You’re grieving. It has hollowed you out.”

     

    “I have nothing to grieve for.”

     

    “You’re lying, Thomas.”

    Just one bite; to taste, and let go.

    Or, the on-field flirting is getting a little ridiculous.

    Summary

    This… this was becoming dangerous. It was right there in front of him, encapsulated in that one single word. The need of it. Their terrible symbiosis.

     

    They were sewn together by breakable thread. Surgeon’s sutures, harsh knots over bloody wounds, not made to last, just willing to hold them together long enough to keep their blood in. They’d learned to avoid sharp objects, their conversations carefully side-stepping the knife-edges of words that threatened to sever each stitch.

     

    When a routine mission goes haywire, Soap and Ghost are left stranded deep in the mountains of Eastern Europe. Left alone, injured and reeling with the aftermath, honesty seems come to the surface between them a lot more easily than usual.

    Summary

    “You told me,” Ben says hoarsely, into the silence. “You told me once that you chose your name because you wanted to make your own kind of glory.”

    There are very few people who know that. Most of them are dead.

    “Glory,” Ben continues. “Kote. Cody. It is you, isn’t it?”

    “You know me,” Cody manages. “How do you know me?”

    Ben reaches up towards his own helmet, very slowly. Cody is helpless as he pulls it off, lets it rest in the space between them, and looks Cody dead in the eye for the first time in six years.

    “You said it yourself,” Obi-Wan Kenobi says. “You killed me.”

    ***

    Glory wants a job. Obi-Wan wants his nephew. Luke wants a bantha. Also, there's a crime syndicate and a love story worked out somewhere in the middle.
