Summary
I lay waiting, reads the message, between turf-face and demesne wall, between heathery levels and glass-toothed stone
So, Eoin types back, you’re outside.
-
Paddy, Eoin and Fraser climb a mountain. Eoin is carrying the weight of his unprocessed attraction to his best friend along with the aftermath of a dramatic accident; Paddy is carrying the sort of rucksack that would topple most people; Fraser is carrying years of frustration towards the other two. It goes about as well as you'd expect.
(can be read as a stand-alone)

Summary
Maybe it’s only right that he finds himself in Belfast, a city tense with the start of something that promises bloodshed. His da, God rest his sweet soul, was a life-long Orange Order man, so this should be the perfect opportunity: the war Paddy was born ready for and something to fucking do.
The trouble of it is, Paddy hates the RUC, and he’s already been barred from most of the pubs in East Belfast.
OR: Paddy Mayne doesn’t care for sectarian politics, at least, not until he meets a certain Catholic boy who loves to court trouble.

Summary
In the unofficial War Diaries of the SAS, Eoin McGonigal’s first postwar mission with SAS 1 was officially recorded as Operation Crèche. But for the few who were there and many who were not, when the story was told in barracks and mess rooms, it was referred to as ‘Paddy Mayne’s Honeymoon Tour’.
Mention of the adjective fucking was optional, but encouraged.

Summary
This man is a bully. This is his first impression of Captain Paddy Mayne.
Though, that is not necessarily true.
His first, first impression is, well, that this man is slight. He’s slight, and unkempt – the latter of which he attributes to the harsh living conditions of the desert and the former of which amuses him to an extent.
Now, being the learned man that he is, he knows that looks can be deceiving, that he should be above judging a man before they’ve even spoken. And yet, nothing about Mayne strikes him as particularly threatening. And then - then the man opens his mouth and Augustin knows he's in way over his head.(or: What if Augustin stuck around and what if there's more to Paddy Mayne than his overt aggression)
