Summary
“You’ve been at war your whole life, haven’t you?”
It breaks him at his seams. Gaping chasms in a glacial field.
Years of his life have been dedicated to destroying whatever remained of that broken child. Covered under layers of silt, that area of his mind laid dormant, gray, and obscured and never to be seen. But now, he is placed on display, to be dusted and examined.
All of the effort, the pain, the pieces of himself he lost, all done for nothing. Now he lays exposed and furious with himself.
How dare he think himself so deserving of their acceptance, so deserving of their camaraderie and understanding. He is broken and will continue to be, and now they know.

Summary
after publishing a passive-aggressive article about the AVTF's aggression, you've been on the municipal government's (read: fisk's) shit list.
your editor at the daily bugle tells you writing a series about the "unfortunate" task force killings will prove that you're unbiased and in support of the mayor. she thinks she’s doing you a solid with this assignment. you think it's her way of driving you insane.
an avid reader of yours totally gets it.
*make sure to keep the work skin on for the best experience!

Summary
When a hunting trip with Arthur goes bad, you find yourself holed up miles from camp and inches from death. This story takes place in the cabin you take refuge in, with fear burrowing into your bones, Arthur's honeyed reassurances, and the threatening icy embrace of death's hand looming at your shoulder.

Summary
A canon-compliant rework and extension of MW2: Reboot.
Simon was an unstoppable force, but Fate was an immovable object.
Stationary.
When you ignore it, and put up walls to secure yourself, it only delays the inevitable. Unavailing. It doesn’t stop it. Moments in time slowly drill their way through, picking an open scab until it turns to scar tissue. It will break your skin until it drains you. You will deteriorate into ashes, scattered by the wind.
And if you force yourself against Fate, shielded with a lifetime of trauma that you use to protect yourself– you’re forced to recognize why you put the walls up in the first place. Every moment full of agony, abuse, anguish.
Your walls will crumble, because Fate never fails.
And as Fate tore the first wall apart, Simon was pushed.
