    Summary

    Below, near the river, are three of the new creatures. Their heads are bulbous, their skins sagging and bright, the same color as the fading sun-sky. They walk on two legs and carry things on their backs that have no heat. They are communicating in loud, discordant noises, rhythmic but foreign and punctuated with harsh breathing sounds.

    The one that removed its shell turns to its companions, baring its teeth, which are small and white. Well taken-care of, as all predators must. Ghost chitters quietly, prowling closer, listening to their call and response. The one without its shell must be the alpha of the pack, and therefore should be the one taken down first.

    Summary

    The last two hours pass strangely. Fifteen minutes feels like nothing, but a single second takes forever. Ghost doesn't watch the clock for the sake of his own sanity, but he can hear its obnoxious ticking. Tick tick tock, like the seconds it took to ice Makarov and then throw himself at Soap's side, try to stem the bleeding, try to hold the pieces of his skull together. Tick tock, the handfuls of seconds it took to disarm the bomb and get medical to them. Tick tock, tick tock - the assembly of all those monitors, tubes and wires like Soap was a machine on the brink of self-destruction, a second bomb waiting to explode. The too-slow rise and fall of his chest, the manic-fast surge of his heartbeat. The long, long hours waiting to see if he'd even be able to be stabilized, rushed to surgery, the endless pacing outside of the ICU doors waiting, waiting, waiting…

    Tick tock.

    Summary

    Sanji finds a male streamer between all the pretty girls on his favourite cam site. He doesn't have to click it, he has no reason to do so, but he does.

    -

    “You have earrings,” Sanji states, because phrasing it as a compliment would be wrong.

    “One on this side means I’m gay,” Zoro reaches for the little gold bars dangling from his lobe in a way that can only be habitual.. “A history thing.”

    “But there’s three,”

    “I’m really gay,” Followed by a warm laugh and another swig of sake.

    Sanji laughs with him. Because he can, because this place makes things feel easy, because nobody here will care if his feelings for men go beyond simple friendship. And he knows they do. Well aware this means more, that normal—read; straight—guys would not accept this being considered a date. He’s constantly teetering between right and wrong and it’s exhausting. But Zoro is right there in front of him, beautiful and kind, so something about this whole arrangement must be right.

    Summary

    Fresh out of almost two years in the Royal Marines, John MacTavish knew that the SAS selection process wouldn’t be a walk in the park. But he didn’t expect that his instructor, who they call "Ghost", would be making it harder in this way.
