Summary
The silence from the other side of the room is answer enough, and Clint laughs again. "You could have just asked," he pushes out.
"We don't have time to earn loyalty. Would you have said yes?"
The question gives Clint pause. "I guess we'll never know," he responds, setting aside all wishes that Agent Coulson had given him a choice, because he just might have said yes and he doesn't need that regret as well. It's too late now. They might not have time for earned loyalty but something like this can't be easily forgiven. Clint thinks he knows himself well enough to say that SHIELD lost something important when they used this tactic, but it's gone now so there's no use in what ifs.

Summary
General William Falkirk is made an offer: surrender to the mercies of the enemy king and his country’s people will be spared. Expecting nothing but brutal execution, William agrees — only to find that King Alexander has no intention of granting death to the man who killed his father.
Stripped of his old life — enslaved and put to gruelling labour — William fights to keep his sense of self and dignity, unable to understand the depths of the powerful young king's unsettling preoccupation with him. And all the while, the Gods of both countries watch on, their eyes trained on the two men; silent in their own, fearful, knowledge of what is to come.

Summary
It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always. At first, though, the time loop seems liberating. For the first time in his life, he can do anything, say anything, be anything, without consequence. But the more Draco repeats the day, the more he realises the uncomfortable truth: he's falling head over heels for the speccy git. And suddenly, the time loop feels like a trap. For how can he ever get Harry to love him back when time is, quite literally, against him?
