    Summary

    Arthur knows he's dying, can feel the unstoppable pull of it, feels the spirit appear behind him to take him along. And yet, he finds he does not want to die. There is so much that went wrong, so much he regrets and he wishes, with all his being, he could change it. Could at least ensure those that managed to get away really make it out alive.

    A second chance, he asks, begs, really. Just give me the chance to save them.

    The being behind him pauses and Arthur can't look away from the moment he's frozen in, staring at the dark mountainside, aching to see the sun rise just one more time.

    One chance, the spirit seems to whisper, voice satin soft. Make the most of it.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This might just be one of the best things I have ever read. The pacing, the writing, the images it conjures in your mind. Ugh. I want to cry and also read it again. Thank you so much for giving them the ending they deserved.

    Summary

    “I haven’t really been to a wedding where I’ve, uh… let loose. But, hey,” Dennis shrugged, “maybe I’m doing it wrong.”

    “If I hadn’t already agreed to go to this conference, I’d offer to go with you,” Robby said casually. “Show you how it’s done. I’ve got a good track record as a plus-one, too.” Dennis had to say something. To interrupt. To shut this down. But what was he supposed to say? No, you can’t be my plus one, because I lied about my cousin, and there is no wedding, and it seems a little weird to bring a date to a fucking funeral– “Apparently parents love it when you bring home a doctor.”

    And just like that, the bubble popped.

    “I’m not gay,” Dennis snapped.

    He had never hated the sound of his own voice as much as he did right then.

    ---
    Or, Dennis is anxiously headed home for a "wedding" in Broken Bow, Nebraska, the details of which are increasingly fuzzy. Robby's got a medical conference in Omaha that same weekend. So they carpool. Seventeen hours both ways in an enclosed space with no way out except a tuck and roll. This'll go great.

    Summary

    In a world narrowed to quarantine lines and evacuation quotas, Lieutenant Ghost decides who lives and who dies.

    John MacTavish survives the first inspection by luck. He survives the second by usefulness.

    After that, he stays by choice.

    As trust turns to influence and influence turns to something softer, the man at the front of the line realises he isn’t making decisions alone anymore — and maybe he doesn’t want to.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the outbreak, the base survives because of discipline, routine, and the quiet authority of Lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Riley.
    Sergeant John MacTavish survives because he refuses to stop looking for the man behind the mask.

    What starts as shameless flirting in the middle of the apocalypse turns into something softer — something steady. Through breaches, grief, whispered confessions, and a kiss that changes everything, John and Simon learn that survival isn’t just about holding the line.
    It’s about choosing someone.
