    Summary

    ‘Wine comes in at the mouth
    And love comes in at the eye;
    That's all we shall know for truth
    Before we grow old and die.
    I lift the glass to my mouth,
    I look at you, and I sigh.’ - William Butler Yeats

    Four times Athos hides his wounds from the others, five times the wine makes everything more complicated.

    Warnings: Serious alcohol abuse here, friends. Some swearing, some injury.

    Summary

    The beginning of Autumn 1944. The Allies have invaded, Normandy is liberated, something is going on with Aramis and Porthos, and Athos has no clue how to move on. With nowhere to go, Athos finds himself at Ninon’s doorstep.

    Complicated Athos/Ninon stuff including some (non-explicit) sexual scenes. Swearing, PTSD, dissociation and general trauma. Some period-typical attitudes to homosexuality.

    Heavily references events from Chanson d’Automne. Hey, I’m not the boss of you, so you can read in whatever order you want, but I would recommend reading that first if you want to get the gist here.

    Title is a translation of a line from the song Mirror, by IDER

    Summary

    When Jack sets out for his first run in the brand new War Rig, he's hoping for a quiet day. Instead, the run ends with his men dead and his convoy hijacked — and the biker holding a gun to his head turns out to be the daughter of Dementus himself.

    Dee doesn't think twice about telling the War Rig's praetorian to pull over and get out. For her, it's just another day in service of Gastown and the Biker Horde, doing what she has to do to survive. And she learned a long time ago that preserving her own life often comes at the cost of someone else's.

    But when the rest of her mission doesn't go as planned, that praetorian might just be the only person she can trust.

    Summary

    Early summer, 1944. Aramis is an idealistic long-haired bohemian artist, Porthos grew up on the streets of Paris before the Nazi occupation forced him to flee, d’Artagnan the orphaned farm boy who somehow ended up in Northern France with the resistance cell they call The Musketeers, and Athos is missing, presumed interrogated.

    They've got enough explosives to put a serious dent in the German war machine, and any day now they’re expecting orders from the Free French government in exile: the allied invasion of Europe is about to begin...

    Summary

    Out of all the things left unsaid after the ill-fated escape from the Bullet Farm, this was the one she couldn't die without telling him.
    Not that she ever even needed to.
