    There's a lot Charlie doesn't know about her grandfather's farm, Willowbranch Ranch, yet.

    But then again, there's a lot Charlie doesn't know about herself, either.

    Summary

    “What do you want?” Tommy growls, torn between being threatening and not wanting to wake Techno and alert him to the danger. The man regards him with a tilted head, just enough that something crawls up Tommy’s spine and whispers in his ears that something’s not right.
    Even though there’s only one candle lit—a small flickering flame trying to warm the hunting cabin—the room feels darker than it should, like the stranger has brought shadows with him; the cold of night creeping into the room and not just because of the briefly open door, but instead because the man stands in their midst—

    “You’ve hidden your brother well,” the man says, head straightening, shadows softening as his eyes flicker to where Technoblade is laid out on the cot. Tommy steps neatly to the side, blocking him from view as much as he is able; decidedly not flinching when the man’s eyes snap back to him.
    The movement is too sharp. Too predatory. Too unnatural.

    Or: Whilst protecting Tommy, Techno was injured. Now it’s Tommy’s turn to protect Techno from whoever, or whatever wants to harm him.

    Summary

    Etoiles curses low under his breath. “Parce que ce n’est pas déjà assez facile. We should’ve realised something was wrong as soon as we crossed the border. Entry point was a lax-guarded mesh-gate that I could get through with toenail clippers. Pour l’amour de la merde.” He kicked out at a stone and turned to check his gun; a motion that Philza knows Etoiles finds soothing.
    It’s refreshing to hear his anger—Philza was sure that he was the only who was on the edge of losing control, because it’s Tommy, but to hear Etoiles is just about ready to gun down every merc, soldier and Cucurucho-believer he comes across is flattering. And by the fact that neither Techno nor Cellbit step in to calm him down show that they’re just as angry. Just as determined to get Tommy back.

    Or: For Team Bolas, it’s meant to be a simple extraction mission. Get in, get Tommy, get out. But nothing can ever be simple.

    Summary

    Karl feels too small, too frail in his arms, but Sapnap can’t think about that as he gathers him close, unbothered by the blood wiped against his shoulder as Karl’s head pillows against it. He’s breathing, reedy and thin, eyes glassed and that ignites a panic beneath Sapnap’s skin near unlike he’s ever felt before.
    He’s been on the battlefield a thousand times, he’s watched his friends and brothers struck with arrows and swords, battle axes and spears, and sometimes they haven’t rose again, but this feels different and altogether a new kind of fear, because Karl was sleeping and then he wasn’t, and now he’s too small and too frail in his arms, blood dripping from his mouth and his lungs revolting against the air he draws into them.

    Or: Karl gets hurt and Sapnap doesn’t pull his punches.

    Summary

    “Careful,” Sapnap grins, his own tankard full of their raided rewards. “We took that off of an Arabian merchant ship, so it’s not what you’d be used to,” before taking a hearty drink, laughing at the sharp expression Karl shoots at him, with all the familiarity of a close friend.

    And they are friends now; have been for months, after Karl stumbled his way through the misunderstanding of an arranged marriage.
    He’d come into it without choice, Sapnap knows now, and so too does Dream, although he and his council are less aware of the details of Karl’s fear, but Karl had stayed and that was his choice.

    Or: Karl has carved out a place with the vikings where he thrives. Someone takes offence to this.
