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. Links to prior parts of this story can be found at the Sons of Obsidian Master Post

( Damien took a deep breath, struggling to gain control over his fury and his terror that someone would report the incident and Cole would hang. He walked behind his desk, sat down and toyed with the quill and the letter opener, hoping that Cole wouldn’t see his hands shaking. “Do you still want to die, Cole? Is that it?” )

Community Rewatch - Tonight - POWER PLAY - 9:30 PM EDT/6:30 PM PDT

Signal boosting tonight’s scheduled community rewatch of Power Play, where Toby Zeigler schools President Bartlett about his daddy issues. No, wait – that’s The West Wing. In tonight’s episode, he’s the World’s Most Interesting Evil Man, and Peter and Neal and Elizabeth are going to take him down. The OT3 is canonical as Peter become Neal and Neal becomes Peter and Neal and I'm so confused!

Much to drink to tonight: The return of Sara Ellis and her pictures of llamas. Neal forging an FBI badge. Mozzie in his flame suit. Peter getting schooled in the Way of the Thief. JUNE (and Byron’s training jacket). Gourmet finger food. The world’s smallest eight-foot ice bear.

( 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.


Don’t they make a lovely couple?
