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.

Whumptober Day 4 - alternative prompt: Nerve damage
He’d escaped being handcuffed to a car while being shot at by his half-brother with a gun, with nothing more than a slight sprain and some bruising. He was incredibly lucky, they said. A brace, some paracetamol, ice, and rest. 2 weeks later, he would never even remember it happened. At least that’s what they told him

Summary
“Careful, with that kind of language you’re gonna start a space war.”
“I am being kind.” Rocky deadpans, and now I’m really grinning. I’m sure it’s the most shit eating grin I’ve worn in the past few weeks, and my chest feels a little lighter.
“Pfff, you know humans would beat you in a space war anyway.”
“Yes. You would drown us.”
I can’t hold back the laughter that shakes my belly as Rocky sits there with his arms crossed—another habit he’s picked up from me—pretending not to be amused.
The laughter feels warm, it feels earned. Maybe everything will work out. Maybe it was just one bad dream. Maybe I’m not a coward. Maybe it will all be alright.Bang!
The laughter in my throat catches. The lights flicker. An alarm blares from the cockpit.
Ah. Jinxed it.
****
Grace never really had time to process a lot of the memories that returned in the midst of their world-saving mission. Now, with him and Rocky on the long haul back to Erid together, problems are making themselves known.
He's not a coward, and he'll do anything to prove it.

Summary
He had a seizure. Grace had a seizure.
He didn't know he had those. When was the last time he had one? He can't remember. He can't even remember hitting the floor.

Summary
Awareness drifts back to him in fragments. One of the first things he identifies is that he hurts—his arms and legs ache something fierce, his brain throbbing in his skull. His whole body is sore, as though he’d just finished running a marathon. Which…which he wouldn’t know, actually. He’s only ever managed a 5k at best—there’d been a walkathon fundraiser at Grover Cleveland Middle, years ago. He’s not much of a runner, more of a biker, and not by choice.
His eyes flutter open, then, almost of their own accord. Everything’s blurry and far-away, as though he’s squinting through a tunnel to see it. His glasses are gone. He’s horizontal, sprawled out with his legs twisted awkwardly underneath him, lying on what feels like the floor. It’s cold and hard and presses uncomfortably against the side of his face. Something lukewarm and wet has pooled against his cheek, gathered around the corner of his mouth.
What…?
