    Summary

    When he gets back from his brief getaway in another universe, Peter feels different. Hopeful and motivated, his brain is racing with plans even before he’s pulled himself out of his universe’s giant, fallen shield-free version of New York Harbor. By the time he’s back to his undecorated, barely furnished studio apartment, he’s composed a to-do list in his head. It’s not specific enough to be called a plan—just goals, small and large, mostly vague, probably all of them too ambitious—but Peter feels good today, high off a fight that ended well and a comradery he hasn’t had in years. He’s sad it was all over so quickly, but he’s home now, feeling alive. Feeling ready.  

    Peter knows, with a certainty he’s never felt before, that his life could be different.

    Peter 3 attempts to get his life back on track, and falls in love in the process.

    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)

    Summary

    Coaching his brother's wayward team was already very much not Bill's dream assignment. Then David goes and gets himself arrested, and Paddy Mayne stepping in as captain spells nothing but trouble.
    Paddy won’t let his ex-captain’s prick brother put him on a short leash while his team crumbles around the scandal of David’s arrest. He wins games, not hearts, and Bill Stirling has a problem with both.

    Summary

    “Come on then,” says Paddy, unbuckling his seatbelt. “We’re going to miss our train.”

    “You know," says Eoin, "if you’re taking me to another country to kill me, legally you have to tell me."

    “Christ, lad, you think I'd let you die in France?”

    “We're going to France?”

    "Aye, well, I figured that if we were going to keep seeing each other then it was probably about time you met Augustin."

    “Oh, excellent,” says Eoin, “I’ve always wanted to go to Paris for the first time so that I can meet my boyfriend’s ex.”

    June, 2025. Paddy takes Eoin to Paris, and carries his bags for him.
