Summary
Missing in action and presumed dead or captured, after day sixth, chased by wolves and haunted by what he's done, Jacob Seed emerges out of the embrace of the crimson dunes like a prophet of old - chastised in blood, crowned by the sun and clad in a new sense of purpose, but hardly the same mortal man he was before.

Summary
Jacob Seed has seen enough war for 2 lifetimes, and yet he still runs back into the front lines of Iraq against Saddam and Afghanistan against the Taliban and Al-Queda terrorists. As he helps an Iraqi child, his bullets hit another target. Miller knows he must follow Jacob until the end, and when the unexpected happens, Jacob makes a choice that even surprises himself. War is hell and Jacob knew hell far before the war. His endless war stories would never prepare him for the pain of homelessness and rejection from VA centers when money runs dry.

Summary
Keith made a promise, and Keith keeps his promises, come Hell or high water. Especially promises to those he cares about. So here he is, sitting in a PTSD support group, across from a face from his past he never expected to see again. Luckily, Takashi Shirogane doesn’t remember him. Unluckily, Keith can’t seem to break himself from Shiro’s orbit. Keith usually has no problem running at the first sign of danger, and being with Shiro screams danger. Keith knows it’s not a matter of if, but when, this fragile new life he’s built will come tumbling down.
Shiro thought he was doing pretty good for being six years post-discharge. He has a good job working with the Holts, he’s active in his community and helps run a PTSD support group at the local LGBT center. He’s happy with what he’s been able to build since "The Incident." That’s of course until Keith comes stumbling into his life, quite literally. Keith brings a sense of adventure that Shiro didn’t realize he’d lost. A “bad boy” with a heart of gold, Keith clearly has secrets he’s not ready to share, but whatever it is, Shiro’s confident their budding relationship can handle it. Shiro should know better than to tempt fate.

Summary
— Люди идут на войну по двум причинам, — рассуждал Шотмейкер. — Первая — они нищие. Когда человек нищий, его просто несет по течению, и он вообще ничего не контролирует. Война в стране первого мира — это самый простой прыжок из своего социального слоя.
— А вторая? — спросил Дэвид.
— Они психопаты, — рассмеялся Шотмейкер.

Summary
“So what did Hammond do to get you here?” Ian asked
“Paid me,” Catherine answered and he grinned
“And?” He pressed
“And what?”
“And I’m supposed to believe a woman such as yourself can just be bought to do something that will inevitably trigger the PTSD you clearly have from whatever horrors you witnessed in the gulf?” He asked as he quirked an eyebrow
“How did you-“
“I’ve read your stuff. After you came back, it was a lot more cynical, more clinical, you don’t describe things the same anymore.”
“You really pay attention to magazines huh?” She asked dryly
“Well I do when it proves my point Kitten,” he explained and she gave him a disapproving look at the nickname.
“My PTSD proves the downfall of democracy?” She asked and he nodded.
“Yeah, in a way it does,” he informed her. “How much do you understand about chaos theory?”

Catherine loved her job as a journalist, but after covering the Gulf War and stricken by PTSD she has a hard time writing again until one day she gets a call from John Hammond who makes her an offer to jump start her career and get her back on the right track.Set from JP-LW
