  Summary

  Investigative journalist Jack Holt tried to uncover the dissapearance of multi-billionaire Edward Puffton with his PMC. But after crashing on his private island, Jack and a soldier called Kelvin were the only survivors. While the two face starvation, exposure, and attempted murder, Jack begins developing feelings for his loyal and optimistic companion, but is scared to act on them while death looms over their heads. Will these men get their happy ending, or does their ending lie in the forest?

  (Mostly canon-compliant MC/Kelvin slow burn. Updates are unscheduled, but at least 1 per week. Title from 'M4, Pt. II' by Faunts)
