Why this must be read:
This is another dark fic - this time, playing with the concepts of humanity as viewed from a different angle. It really makes you think about humanity - what shapes and defines it, and what we are, on a base level.
Again, I can't say much without giving away the plot; but what I can say is that Nate is not what he seems, and he's in Iraq for reasons that are not those that he tells the men. This is a chilling and haunting story; it's not horror per se, but it is creepy and sometimes a little disturbing. The characterisation is fantastically subtle, and the pacing is stellar.
Nate wasn’t always a Marine, but it comes naturally to him. Standing here talking to one of his own, laying down the law for this battle, he feels right at home. He only talks to this one for a moment, to make sure everything is on track for the coming days. It is. At this point failure is impossible.
Nate has doubted this warrior in the past, but should not have. The work of his brother has always been impeccable, quick and devastating. He never admits he’s wrong though. Doing so would be beneath him. So he sends the second away unthanked, thinking of trading peace for a sword. He turns back toward camp.
The next move is in the hands of the men.
