    Summary

    David has always been a jealous man. So it is to be expected, though he would never admit to it aloud, that when he first sets eyes on Eoin McGonigal, his honest reaction is vile envy.

    "You're alive," David manages.

    "So are you," Eoin says. "I take it your parachute survived the drop this time, sir."

    OR: Eoin survived the fall, Eve did not, and David will go mad if he has to spend one more day in a prison camp.

    Summary

    After four years of total silence, Paddy Mayne has sent Eoin a seven second video of a twelve-inch Christmas tree dancing in a shop window and a message that says, Is this cursed do we think?

    Summary

    “Ahh Blair, there you are! You’ve even found the prodigal,” Ambrose says to Paddy, reaching up to throw an arm around Eoin’s shoulders, catching him mid-stride and turning him back around to face Paddy fully “Blair, you remember Eoin, my wee brother?”
    Paddy almost laughs at the absurdity. Ambrose knows that he knows and has spent a great deal of time with the overabundance of McGonigal siblings, particularly with his youngest brother. Of course, he knows Eoin, has in fact been spending the past year and a half trying to forget Eoin, trying to lose him in the bottom of bottles and the hands of other men. He had never once considered, outside of his most lecherous fantasies, that Eoin might be the type to kiss another man, unprompted, in the darkened spare bedroom at a house party.

    Summary

    Aaargh, summaries.

    Here is Paddy, returned to Arran once again, cultivating solitude. Here is the man who has Eoin's laughing eyes and his dark curls, who looks to Paddy as Eoin once did, but does not know Paddy's name. And here is the path home, rain drenched and windswept, sunlit under the clouds.

    Update 24/12/25:

    Added Afterword, for nasri , when Eoin writes to Ambrose and Ambrose sends a telegram back, DON'T MOVE INCH ARRIVING 16:30, so memorably illustrated (twice!) by spooky_action:

    DON’T MOVE INCH, ARRIVING 16:30

    Summary

    "This is my favourite dream," Eoin says, whispering so as not to wake himself up.

    "Mine too." Lips against his spine. "A finer time than any I've had awake in a long, long while."
