Summary
“Was there water?” Ambrose asks.
“It is the desert, Ambrose” Paddy says gently and he is supposed to be the mad one, the one who has to be gentled down from delusion and insanity like a child, not Ambrose, never Ambrose “There was no water around for miles”
Of all the things to be asking after…
“It rained” Paddy says at last, “Monsoon rain, biblical, washed away the landscape entire. By the time I had a mind to go and look for him again everything had changed and there was no way to find him. I did look. I did look for him. I swear it”
Paddy looks up to find Ambrose smiling a private smile and nodding like he’s hearing voices Paddy can not.
"Rain might just be enough" Ambrose says, seeming pleased with the answer "Rain and the saltwater of tears”Or: Eoin comes back.

Summary
“Will it be a romance?” Paddy prodded.
Eoin gazed up at him, smiling, “It already is.”
“And will it be a happy ending? For your adventurer?”
Eoin shrugged, held out his hand for Quantum Theory by David Bohm, “Time will tell.”Bookmarked by grimemoth

The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, and the highwayman came riding - riding, riding. The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

Summary
David has always been a jealous man. So it is to be expected, though he would never admit to it aloud, that when he first sets eyes on Eoin McGonigal, his honest reaction is vile envy.
"You're alive," David manages.
"So are you," Eoin says. "I take it your parachute survived the drop this time, sir."
OR: Eoin survived the fall, Eve did not, and David will go mad if he has to spend one more day in a prison camp.

Summary
Because he'd not heeded the warning signs, had he. Not in the past months—years, even, since he'd met Eoin by the side of the always green pitch—and not in the past days, where, through poetry and gritted teeth, he had allowed himself to notice things, things small and dreadful.
The way the lamplight would fall on Eoin's neck when he knelt between his legs, how he'd scrunch his forehead when holding the scissors in his mouth while fiddling with the roll of gauze, the way he would set the sulpha powder's cap in the same place each time, and how Paddy's body already knew the exact shape of his movement.
He'd clasped at Yeats as much as at the remnants of the pain, willing it to hurt more than it did.
And yet here he was, foaming at the mouth, and snapping at thin air.

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.

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)

Summary
Sentenced to serve the Valar for six hundred and thirty-three years as retribution for their crimes, Maedhros and Maglor return to Middle Earth to seek the ghosts of those they had doomed. Of the re-embodied Noldor, few accompany them; only Fingon, for loyalty's sake, Aredhel and Idril, seeking to re-unite with Turgon, and Orodreth, in search of his daughter's wandering spirit.
But the land, broken by war and falling swiftly into ruin, is treacherous, and danger awaits from the moment they disembark. The elves will be forced to reckon with old friends and enemies alike, and sometimes these two may be harder to tell apart than they seem.

Summary
Angelic blonde curls frame his face, smooth and delicate. Refined. Such vanity. The curl of his long lashes, the crook of his brow and oh the bow of his lips. They part for him now. Melkor places the host on his tongue. The cardinal looks up. Honey coloured eyes. And Melkor knows he is no angel, no servant of God, but a creature of vice.
