    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

    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

    “It’s an open desert.” Eoin gestures around them with his arms wide as they go. “It's only you, me, and the open desert.” 
    He holds Paddy by the back of the head, pressing his face against his own exposed neck. “Paddy,” he whispers, soft and breathless, "bite."

    Summary

    “What's keeping you up?”

    When her dark eyes lock on him, James feels an unshakeable weight slam into his chest. The prickle at his neck rises high, rakes across his scalp.

    She had done the same with her nails, before, in a way that made him shiver in delight.

    “I know the truth.”

    It was a bold claim to make, considering that they had only known each other mere days, but he was learning not to underestimate Holmes’, now surrounded by them.

    While Beatrice grapples with familial knowledge, James wraps another Holmes around his finger.

    Summary

    I’ve written:
    Nope to Ryder at the summit
    Nope to Ryder even interrupting
    Nope to Ryder swimming out to them

    Now I give you:
    Nope to Tom riding off on his horse because Mr Edward Gardiner is having none of it.
