    Summary

    Jack is an assassin. A good one, at that. After a robbery-gone-wrong that took the life of his little sister eleven years prior, Jack is out for revenge, taking odd jobs as he searches. Things had been stable - profitable, even - ever since he joined a group of mercenaries, affectionately called the Guardians. It was through a job from them that Jack first ran into Hiccup, a welder who kept seeming to show up at the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Hiccup was just trying to live a quiet life. He had a good job and good friends and an apartment and a cat. All of that went up in flames after meeting a strange man with white-gray hair and a gun at his hip, when Hiccup saw things he definitely shouldn’t have.

    Now, they have a dead CEO, a job gone wrong, two blocks of C4, a lead in a decade long cold case, and a change of heart from the Guardians. Hiccup and Jack find themselves in more danger than ever, forced to depend on each other if they want to walk away with their lives - or, at the very least, closure.

    But just how far are they willing to go? And what will happen when they're forced to cross that line?

    Dec 5 2025 A/N: yes, this is likely abandoned. i've moved on past this fandom i fear :(
