    Summary

    Billy tries turning to look them in the face, but it's a futile attempt, one so pathetic it makes him want to cry. McVries comes to his bedside, puts a fever-checking palm on his forehead. That touch does something to Billy, and he stops fussing.
    It's the most lucid he's felt in a while: there are memories in his head that are recent, not just inane childhood-hallucinations. He remembers the sabotage, the kind of insurrectionist action so loathed by his father. It happened not long after Arthur Baker's death. Then came the run-for-it, ride-for-it in the rebel car, the pain and the screaming and the careening out of the world.

    or: The last three Long Walkers are rescued by rebels before Stebbins has the opportunity to come clean about his family situation. Forced to lie low in an isolated cabin with his former competitors, he's grappling with old demons and questioning his loyalties.

    Summary

    McVries tells him about meeting Ray when he’d only just meant to be passing through Freeport. He casually asks Stebbins if he believes in soulmates while he’s elbow-deep in the ceiling, and when Stebbins freezes stock still on the ladder, he only laughs that easy laugh of his and keeps on describing their meet-cute like he wasn’t really expecting an answer anyway. It’s a sweet story. Romantic, at least in the way McVries tells it.

    It’s the kind of story that twists Stebbins up in places he didn’t even realize could get knots until his smile looks like it hurts. It was love at first sight. McVries doesn’t ask if he believes in that, too, and Stebbins is grateful that he doesn’t have to stutter out an answer that he’s not entirely sure he knows.

    Summary

    "The Major's my father," Stebbins spits out the words at the wheels of the half-track rumbling on in front of them with what little energy is left in his body. The red rim of his eyelids glimmer as he looks up at the Major. "I'm his bastard."

    Ray stares at him. The actual meaning of his words take some time to penetrate the coldness in his chest that's slowing all his thoughts, but when they do, he looks at the Major to see his reaction. When he sees that there is none, he looks back at Stebbins, and the awful, raw edges of his expression, and then back to the Major, hoping for Stebbins' sake, that the man at least fucking reacts. However, when he looks back at the Major, he is no longer there. Instead, a cavernous hole decides to open up beneath the half track with a roar not too dissimilar to that of the carbines, swallowing the entire vehicle whole.

    A moment later, a great watery crash rings out from miles below them.

    Summary

    He was still coming down from his orgasm, face hot and skin sticky when he realized Stebbins hadn't laid down with him. He was still in the bed—Harkness could feel him doing something by his ankles, around where his blankets were kicked to the side, but it didn't hit him until Stebbins' was peeling off his cum stained boxers and shoving them into the corner of his bed.

    "Billy?" Harkness spoke softly, as if any loud noise would startle him, sitting up on his elbows to get a better look at him. He was facing away from Harkness, but he had paused when he heard his name, before promptly returning to pushing fabrics around.

    "Billy, honey, are you nesting?"

    or

    Stebbins asks Harkness to take care of him during his heat.
