    Summary

    For almost three decades, he’d been haunted by a face without a name. Or was it a name without a face? He couldn’t quite tell, and honestly, in this case, it was a bit of both.

    What he did recall was crass humor and a tough shell, but something softer underneath: a boy who would die for his friends. He knew that much, at least—that the person from his dreams was a boy—but he didn’t know who this boy was. He didn’t know what this boy looked like. He didn’t know this boy’s name. He didn’t even have any real memories of him or anything they’d done together. All he had was vague impressions. He thought that maybe the mystery would never be solved, that maybe he’d never figure out who this boy was.

    Then he got a call from Mike Hanlon.

    Summary

    He honestly didn’t think it was going to go this way. Hadn’t thought he’d be left begging for death, just to avoid the tearing of his soul. He’d imagined his death dozens of times before, imagined dying in the heat of Texas, dying at the end of a cattle rustler’s gun. He’d thought Maria was going to kill him that first night too. And every night after that was an endless fight for survival. But he survived all of that, just to end here, at the feet of someone he’d called an enemy at first, and now couldn’t bear the thought of being separated from. As artificial as it was, he knew he belonged here. But at the same time, all he wanted was to go back home.

    Summary

    Bronn didn’t limp. He took all the hurt gladly. Walked, in fact, with an extra spring in his step. And if that annoyed the Hound, made him think he hadn’t been quite rough enough, well: so much the better.

    This is SLASH.
