   Summary

   An immediate bond…

   An irresistible attraction…

   A fraught reunion.

   Follow these three threads in the lives of Asher Eastman and Antonio Crowley as they strive to find the balance between friendship and fate…between duty and freedom…between heartbreak and hope.

   This story is for @Chandyowlet, who was the winning bidder on my 2025 Fandom Trumps Hate fanfic auction. The request was for an exploration of the risks and consequences for gay men serving in the US military in the mid-1990s — peak season of the infamous “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that resulted in so many dishonorable discharges for the ‘crime’ of being queer. Ash and Tonio burst into my brain to tell their story; I adore these two, and I hope you’ll all enjoy their journey through darkness and toward the light 💛

   New chapters will be posted on Tuesdays, with the sixth and final chapter dropping on December 23.
