    Summary

    In 1916 the Germans, who had been experimenting with biological weapons, released a pathogen that forever altered the world.

However the pathogen soon spread, infecting both sides and spreading with a virulence no one had anticipated. It changed the course of millions of lives. It changed the course of Thomas Barrow and Matthew Crawley's lives.

    Summary

    Lying in the bottom of a too shallow foxhole while bullet after German bullet whistled over his head had sadly become an all too common occurrence for Thomas.

    Lying in the bottom of a shallow foxhole with William Mason pressed against up against him on one side, Matthew Crawley against the other, and Lord Grantham sprawled in the mud at their feet though? That was a little bit more unusual.

    “Well then chaps,” the Lord turned Lieutenant-Colonel huffed with entirely too much forced cheer. “I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’m solidly of the opinion that we’re utterly ruddy ballocksed!”

    Summary

    When Helix had first found out about Melidaan, a lot of his General's habits slotted neatly into place. Like a broken bone that healed wrong, he'd called it. All he could do was try and mitigate the damage.

    (And if he'd wished, sometimes, that he could have been there earlier, so he could have done something, so he could have helped, well-)

    Now, there is a child in his medbay, looking up at him with wary eyes. Carefully, gently, he crouches, so as not to loom. Offers him a smile.

    "Hi, Ben."

    Or:

    It's hard to ignore your trauma when it's staring you in the face, isn't it?

    Or:

    In which Helix accidentally-on-purpose adopts a kid, Ben reckons with the future, and Qui-Gon is trying to figure out how he managed to piss off an army.
