    Summary

    Captain Fox Mulder, the abolitionist son of a Virginia plantation owner and slaveholder, has turned his back on his family and everything he's ever known in order to fight for the Union, rather than joining the ranks of the Confederacy alongside his fellow Virginians. He runs off to Pennsylvania to join a newly-formed regiment in the spring of 1863, and there, he meets and quickly befriends the enigmatic young Daniel Scully, a private under his command. Private Scully's steady shooting and bravery in battle have proven him to be a far more capable soldier than his age would suggest. But in the days immediately following Gettysburg, Mulder discovers that Private Scully is hiding a secret, one that could change their friendship- and Mulder's entire life- in ways he couldn't possibly imagine.

    Summary

    “I’m not gay,” Tom says suddenly, determined, eyes wide, and Greg just blinks at him, one eyebrow cautiously raising.

    “What?”

    “I’m not. I’m not gay, Greg. You fucking idiot, do you hear me? Did you hear what I fucking said?”

    Greg looks a little pained, but nods anyway, “O-okay. Sure. Okay, Tom.”

    There’s a long pause and something clears a little in Tom’s head as the mist recedes. He feels something wash over him; a curiosity he’d never dared hope for because it would be far too revealing.

    ~

    OR: Tom grapples with complex and confusing emotions following a lifetime of repressing who he truly is.
