    Summary

    In the dim light of the dying fire, Paddy reaches over and rests his hand on Eoin's chest. “My ma, the poor woman, called me Blair. That's my name. Robert Blair Mayne.”

    “Robert Blair Mayne”, Eoin repeats, the words melting in his mouth like Eucharist. He will never write this, he thinks, even when there is no risk in it. He could never give this to someone else. He turns and touches Paddy's cheek with a shaky hand, the scruffy beard needles into his palm. “So you are.”

    In which everything that could have gone wrong at the beginning of the war has gone wrong, and a war reporter named Eoin meets Paddy, trying to fight off the invasion of Britain from France.

    Summary

    They had been warned about the men they were being sent to join.

    Rough men.

    Wild men.

    Dangerous men.

    They’d thought they were prepared, that they knew what to expect and knew to what to say and how to act when they climbed out of the trucks and formed up for inspection.

    No one had told them that half of them were bloody mad.

    At first glance Major David Stirling seemed sane enough, if wild, with a full beard and piercing blue eyes, his skin tanned where it was visible and hair dry and oily all at once.

    Captain Blair “Paddy” Mayne, on the other hand, did not.

    Summary

    Almonds gives Kershaw a proper bollocking on the way back to their camp. Anthony leads the way and has a very pleasant time listening to the two of them behind him, especially the moment where Almonds slips in praise for Anthony himself for his resilience. If Anthony deliberately stands up straighter and sways his hips a bit, that’s between him and God.

    Or: After the 2SAS-led mission, Anthony is in pain. Kershaw helps, doesn't he.

    Summary

    Johnny Cooper is a roguish, impulsive, queer man and the youngest of the original L Detachment of the SAS. He's a terrifyingly competent and sometimes brutal soldier. But in October of 1943 his number comes up. In saving his best friend, Reg Seekings from a shelled truck in Termoli, Italy, Johnny is hit in the back by a sniper. His injuries at Termoli are life changing. He's paralyzed, and convinced he won't survive. Instead he is at the center of a medical and social revolution. Before now paralyzed men were left to die, but under the care of Dr. Ludwig Guttmann he stands a fighting chance. During the First World War almost no one with Johnny's injuries survived. However, with improved field medicine and the advent of penicillin by the end of the Second World War there are hundreds of men with spinal injuries who can live long and happy lives and must fight for their place in a world that doesn't accommodate them. Johnny's story follows the early days of the disability rights movement and the advent of the Paralympic Games. And yes dear reader, Johnny Cooper will be armed once more, just not quite in the way you might expect.

    A psychoanalytic meta on Paddy's mourning, Eoin as psychic infrastructure, and why "bury him in your head" was always the wrong prescription.

    Summary

    After Bill laid claim to the SAS SRS, David wrote, “We don’t have such creatures in Scotland, so there is little advice I can give you about Cooper. Eve said to me – well, Eve had some very odd things to say to me on the subject, but when we were going through the roster-”

    Bill Stirling finds there are few limits to what the war asks of a man.

    Summary

    Bill Fraser was born during a thunderstorm.

    His mother took it as a sign, convinced he would be a difficult child, and so when he proved her wrong there was very little fanfare surrounding it. No matter how good he was, no matter how dutiful and obedient, she was always waiting for the other shoe to drop. So Bill learned to walk quietly, to pretend his gait was just the same as all the other kids, even with one foot bare.

    Set between 2015 and 2025, Bill Fraser slowly learns what it means to get better.

    Summary

    These long branches he calls legs. Once pale, now tanned a golden shade. Once fuller, now worn thinner by the unforgiving contrast between rations and sweating. Covered in hair like moss grows and curls on the stones kissing the sea shore in Ireland.

    Or

    Paddy learns to love the way it has been asked of him since long ago, and Eoin learns that life doesn't end after one bad fall.
