    Summary

    There existed, and James catalogued this observation with the same precision he applied to all things, a possibility. That he might, conceivably, under certain highly specific and deeply irritating circumstances, find himself attracted to a man.

    Which was absurd, naturally.

    He liked women.

    But Sherlock Holmes was, annoyingly, something else entirely.

    Summary

    Sherlock has a habit of interrupting James's flirting, and a locked box of feelings in the back of his mind that might explain why he keeps doing it. It's the same box that knows why it feels like electricity when they touch, and why the way James says his name makes Sherlock lose all focus.

    It's a good thing that boxes are meant to be opened.

    Summary

    After Bill laid claim to the SAS SRS, David wrote, “We don’t have such creatures in Scotland, so there is little advice I can give you about Cooper. Eve said to me – well, Eve had some very odd things to say to me on the subject, but when we were going through the roster-”

    Bill Stirling finds there are few limits to what the war asks of a man.

    Summary

    David has always been a jealous man. So it is to be expected, though he would never admit to it aloud, that when he first sets eyes on Eoin McGonigal, his honest reaction is vile envy.

    "You're alive," David manages.

    "So are you," Eoin says. "I take it your parachute survived the drop this time, sir."

    OR: Eoin survived the fall, Eve did not, and David will go mad if he has to spend one more day in a prison camp.

    After four years of total silence, Paddy Mayne has sent Eoin a seven second video of a twelve-inch Christmas tree dancing in a shop window and a message that says, Is this cursed do we think?
