Summary
Alison Cooper was good at her job. She may only be a human but she had studied this for years, heck even her and her husband Mike owned a company dedicated to helping them now! But even then, omegas were complicated creatures. Alphas were too to be honest but they weren't her area, omegas were.
And she had dealt with plenty of them too.
But now she had a new case to solve, and this particular omega wasn't up for sharing much so she'd have to find out for herself.
Should be fun right? or incredibly frustrating, she couldn't exactly tell.

Summary
“Yes. I, um…oh gosh. I feel a little nervous actually!” Anthony laughs shyly and takes another sip of wine.
“Don’t be,” James says immediately. “You can tell me anything.”
He wants to reach over and take Anthony’s hand; he wants to comfort and reassure him. But he doesn’t want to overwhelm Anthony, so he gives him his space.
Instead James tries to memorise everything about this moment, his heart in his mouth, as he’s almost certain this is about to be the happiest moment of his life. He takes in the colour of Anthony’s eyes in the dim light, the smell of the toad-in-the-hole, the sound of birds chirping their evening song outside, Anthony’s ridiculous Mickey Mouse t-shirt -
“Alright.” Anthony’s smile is soft. “I wanted to tell you that I’ve met someone.”
OR
Modern AU in which the Captain tries to confess his feelings to his best friend, only to discover that someone else has beaten him to it. Luckily he has a close group of colleagues at work who are very invested in his love life and want to help him get his happy ending…

Summary
In the afterlife, Havers waits for the Captain's arrival. Each year on the Captain's death day he checks in at the Ministry of Information but the status is always the same: 'Ghost'.
As decades go by, he gets more and more desolate, convinced the man he pines after is never going to move on. (That, or he's put measures in place to hide from him). His impatience grows, nestled alongside grief, until one day his waiting is rewarded...

Summary
Cartwright seemed pleasantly surprised, a big smile on his face, whereas James…
Anthony's insides filled with ice water, his heart clenching painfully as if it were its last gasp.
The Captain beamed at Cartwright. Happy, giddy, as if there was nothing more beautiful and joyous on this earth than for him to see that man again.
Anthony's heart shattered.
He had to turn away, or else the shards would open up his chest to expose his insides to the world.
Where had all the air gone?

Summary
The map had led him to the pass, the first signs of the dragon a series of scorch marks on a boulder. Further up, a sign stated “BEWARE! DRAGON!” As he made his way up, the signs became more dire, with additional edits.
Underneath “BEWARE OF FEARSOME MAN-EATING DRAGON!” someone had written “No dragon here! It has disappeared!!” in crude, hand-painted letters. Maybe there would be indications of where the dragon had fled to, if it had indeed left. Another warned “ONLY DEATH AWAITS! DEADLY DRAGON!” with the addition of “If you go to the left, you’ll find a lovely field of flowers, much more interesting!!”

Sir Anthony, sent on another thankless quest, discovers something unusual about the dragon he is supposed to slay. Something almost...human.

Summary
It's daring, it should remain unspoken, the Captain knows if he speaks now he holds back an excellent soldier. Deny the truth, hide it, bury it deep and be the selfless man the army teaches you to be. Instead, he becomes the enemy and decides to drop a bomb between them.
"Stay," James states, strongly. His brows are furrowed, desperation in his eyes.
"You know I can't do that, James," His Lieutenant responds in a whisper, eyes wide in fear. His lip quivers, "Don't do this to me, not now, not when I'm so close to leaving."
--
What if, instead of fleeing to North Africa, Havers and the Captain decide to run away from the war? It's easier said than done, Cartwright makes sure of that, in the story leading up to their escape.
