    Summary

    Seresins are warriors. They die young, and they die bloody. They’ve got a debt somewhere one of them forgot to write down, and now the rest of them are paying the price.

    Jake Seresin comes from a long line of fighters and desperados and gets an itch under his skin whenever he stops moving. Seresins are a law unto themselves, and great men have tried to make it otherwise and failed.

    Bradley Bradshaw was born with roots so deep the shifting of the tectonic plates can’t move them. There are mountain ranges less stubborn and more self-aware than he is.

    Javier Machado has beaten Bradley Bradshaw into the ground exactly three times in his life before the idiot finally realized. It might have been a bit extra, but Javy knows where all the bodies on the Seresin Ranch are buried.

    (AKA this time Jake comes from a loving if tragic, family, and he and Bradley still can’t get it right the first time)

    All Jake can think is that it hurts .

     

    Everything hurts, and all he can do is lay here and suffer.

     

    He probably deserves the pain anyway.

    Summary

    “ Beyond the treeline was not just rows and rows of flowers, but bushes lines with berries that looked bright and supple, a staggered cliff’s edge that opened into a small waterfall, feeding another brook that ran through the center of the meadow, and in the very center, rested a large boulder, overgrown with moss and cast in warm sunlight.

    But more than that. Much, much more than that. Atop the rock, perched perfectly in the center pf the clearing, crowned in a halo of sunlight, sat a boy. A thin, elegant body with alabaster skin that shimmered in the sun, a messy head of dark hair, and a soft, inviting smile. His eyes, green as the forest around them, were locked on Levi, his eyelashes long and delicate as he blinked curiously down at the ex-marine, greeting in his gaze.

    “Hello,” the boy tilted his head, much like a puppy. “

    ——————

    aka, what if the Hollow Men weren’t the only supernatural being lurking around the gorge? What if Levi stumbled upon a faerie one day while out hunting?

    Summary

    “I spend so much time chasing storms that sometimes I forget how nice a clear sky is.”

    Javi clears his throat, and he wonders how Tyler can do that—take every preconceived notion Javi had about him and turn them, twist them all up till they’re wind-wracked and addled, damaged beyond repair. Javi doesn’t know who Tyler Owens is, he thinks, but damn if he doesn’t want to know now.

    “Yeah, the Oklahoma sunset will do that to you.”

    Summary

    On a cold rainy day in San Diego, a family stood solemnly in the middle of a grave yard.

    Carole Bradshaw's funeral was over. Her battle with the cancer that had taken her all to young, leaving her seventeen year old son an orphan adopted by his godfather and uncle. She was buried next to her husband, faithfully devoted to him until her end, never taking another lover in the thirteen years that had passed since his tragic death. There family of naval flight officers and pilots mourned the loss of a beloved sister, gone to rejoin there long lost brother.
    Yet for some of them, they still had decisions to make and promises to keep.

    "He'll never forgive you if you go the whole way Pete, you know that right."
    "What else am i supposed to do Tom. I promised her that brad would live to be older than Nick."
    "Then lets think about it. The academy is four years, and flight school is another year on top of that. thats five years, he's eighteen shortly, he'd be twenty three by then. Nick was twenty six when the accident happened. What if instead of doing it the way you're asking me to, we do something else."
    "Like what?"
    "I think... a delay in his class entrance perhaps."
    "Oh."

    Summary

    After dragging his chair close enough that physical contact is more of an inevitability than a choice, Jake twines his hands with Javy’s operable one. Squeezes the life out of it. “Here I was thinking that your Op would be all Sunshine, Roses, and Bonding with Bradley.”

    “Where is…”

    “Downstairs,” says Jake, immediately, saving Javy the embarrassment of having to finish his sentence out loud. Like he’s looking for Bradshaw. Like he misses Bradshaw. What a joke. “Grabbing a coffee. He has to leave in about half-an-hour to debrief on base.”

    Summary

    "You’re a shifter,” Goose repeated, disbelieving, “and… you don’t know whether your shift form might have UV vision? You never even researched that much?”

    “It’s a useless animal, Goose. I’m better off without it.”

    “You know, I hear what you’re saying, but I just don’t believe that.”

    Maverick glared at him, the effect somewhat undermined by the soup spoon half way out of his mouth. “You have this idea that every shifter is the same, that everybody wants to show off and brag and loves their shift form, but it’s not true, Goose. If I wanted to talk about it, I’d have talked about it.”

    Floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Maverick tried to figure out how this happened.

    The hop had been going fine, perfect even. He and Iceman were being competitive like normal, Goose was in his backseat and encouraging him like normal, but then…

    Swallowing, Mav looked up at the open blue sky.

    Or both jets went down during hop 31.
