Summary
Light washes over him, and he gasps for air as his body demands more oxygen. A figure in a white coat steps into the room, and he scrambles even further into the corner he has already crammed himself in. His toes dig into the padded floor, his back the padded wall. He wonders when the walls of dirt, rocks, and wooden beams were replaced.
In which Tommy was placed in a mental asylum after being discharged from military service in 1916.

Summary
The sound of the fire returned. It was accompanied with a dull, throbbing pain in what felt like his entire body. His lashes fluttered as Jon tried to pry his eyes open, though that turned out to be a greater task than he had imagined. His eyelids seemed to have been filled with lead as he slept. Jon drew a slow, sluggish breath, and winced in pain. Someone must have noticed his movement, he thought as the sound of soft, padding footsteps joined the crackle of the fire. He finally succeeded in cracking his eyes open, and he was met with a tired-looking Satin peering down at him with a worried look on his face.
Or: Jon wakes in an abandoned wildling hut after the mutiny with Satin watching over him. Post-resurrection AU.

Summary
This was what happened when you never said anything, never shared. It was a new kind of awareness; being broken only inverted you. It showed what you’d been hiding.
River’s eyes opened just enough to find Shirley’s. All panic, all doubt had vanished. “I’m here,” he whispered, voice shredded. “Do it.”
East of London, River and Shirley disappear. They are used to being expendable, but captivity has its own kind of honesty, one that can strip you to the bone, turn you inside out.
When pain becomes unbearable, she starts thinking about death, and he starts seeing faces that shouldn’t be there. The only thing left is to hold on, to each other, and to whatever remaining fragments of themselves.
