Summary: In the aftermath of a brutal battle, Lt. Damien Toth finds a wounded enemy soldier on the battlefield. The young man refuses to give his name and prefers death to captivity and enslavement. Impressed by his grit, Damien claims him and renames him, promising him freedom after seven years of service. But 'Cole' has a bloody past and secrets that will come back to haunt them both .

Notes: For those of you who have read other Halcrest stories, this one takes place before the events of Brothers of the Watch and The Outcast, but at the same time as Scarce Loyalty.

Aubrey — no, he might as well accustom himself to ‘Cole’— swore under his breath as he tried to keep comfortable. The stitches in his stomach weren’t helping. Neither was the hard floor or the shackles on his hands and feet. He finally settled into a semi-seated position, leaning back against a post.

The Summer is Over...Let's Ramble

For years, I've been saying that Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day are each separated by two weeks - that's how quickly time is flying by.

( Monday rambles happen on Tuesdays, plus the bonus you know what )

Community Rewatch - Tonight - WHAT HAPPENS IN BURMA - 9:30 PM EDT/6:30 PM PDT

Signal boosting tonight’s scheduled community rewatch of What Happens in Burma, where we get the first hints of Neal’s childhood backstory (and no, he didn’t burst forth, fully grow and clothed in a bespoke suit, from the head of Zeus). We have plenty to drink to – or plenty to drink about – tonight. Boo to the wicked South Asian stereotypes, boo to Diana-as-Model (except yah for her kickass attitude), but yay for Smoking Jackets, Neal in Sweaty Undershirts, Mozzie doing his best Doctor Evil Sing Along imitation and of course, lots of floofy hair.

( In case you’ve never joined us before, the rewatch works this... )

The scheduled start time tonight is 9:30 PM EDT/6:30 PM PDT/2:30 AM GMT (that's Wednesday morning for those on the other side of the Pond). Come early and hang out with us or stay late and chat and maybe word war.
