    Summary

    Chris keeps throwing subtle glances towards Leon as they advance through the dark tunnels only illuminated by their flashlights. 

    Something is wrong with Leon. Chris just knows it.

    The way he had pulled away from Chris as if he’d been burned, the paleness of his face and the sheer fear he’d read in his eyes when he’d shone the light on his face…

    Even now, Leon’s stance is rigid, the tension in his shoulders visible as is the tightness of his grip around his handgun.

    More strangely, there’s also a scent following in Leon’s wake. There shouldn't be one since Leon is a beta. 

    It confuses Chris. He doesn’t know what to make of it all.

    · • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

    Leon's true nature as an omega has been skillfully hidden since his recruitment in USSTRATCOM, at least until his heat suppressants fail him in the middle of an op. He's now stuck in the middle of nowhere with danger lurking in every corner, about to experience his first heat in eight years in the company of Chris Redfield, an alpha as luck would have it...

    Summary

    Leon has become a master of the slow fade, a ghost haunting his own life until there’s nothing left but the sharp scent of whiskey and the hollow echoes of a man who stopped caring months ago. He exists in the spaces between memories he'd rather forget, pulling the shadows around him like a second skin.

    Chris is the only one who refuses to let him vanish. Armed with a stubborn, quiet persistence and a refusal to look away, he remains the sole anchor in Leon’s drifting world. It’s a heavy, wordless vigil, a tug-of-war between Leon’s desperate need to isolate and Chris’s terrifyingly steady presence. In the suffocating stillness of what remains, they are forced to navigate the blurred lines of a bond that is as much a lifeline as it is a burden.

    A study of the fine line between saving a man and breaking him further, navigating an intimacy neither was ever trained to handle.

    Summary

    He looks down at his body with the very distasteful hole through its head. The picture is obscured in part by Artemy Burakh, who kneels over the second (first? fifth? hundreth?) Daniil with bandages and bottles spilling from his various pouches.

    "What are you hoping to achieve?" he asks.

    Daniil and Artemy and the problem of collateral damage.
