astreetsussserenade:

(According to Brad)

  1. Exist
  2. Look like that
  3. Effectively manage Ray
  4. Bite his lip far more often than can possibly be necessary
  5. Curse with such beautiful precision
  6. Unerringly pick the right battles
  7. Genuinely seem to believe it when he tells them they’re doing the right thing be being here
  8. Leave
  9. Send Brad emails with open-ended invitations to “catch up”
  10. Show up at Brad’s door, call him a pussy, kiss him, and then never leave

Catch me awake at 5 am getting emotional about Nate Fick, again.

He just…needed to keep his men safe, physically and mentally. The fact that he cared so much about their mental health is so telling to me about how much he cared. It’s not just that he wanted everyone to get out alive, it’s that he wanted everyone to go home and be able to look themselves in the mirror without hating what they saw.

That’s the kind of leader Nate Fick is. He cared about his men as actual human beings with actual lives beyond this one moment in time. And unfortunately, that’s why he couldn’t stay.

6 for the kisses thing lazy morning kisses before they’ve even opened their eyes, still mumbling half-incoherently, not wanting to wake up Brad / Mike cause I am lost in this ship

aces-low:

Alright! You also asked for some hurt/comfort…so…in my efforts to try to do both of these things I erred on the side of not doing either much. So…sorry about that. Hopefully, you enjoy anyway! ❤

It had been a rough night.

Summary:

But there’s a part of Evan, the part that wanted to become a journalist, the part that decided he wanted to cover the war in Iraq, and the part that decided to stay in Iraq long after anyone else would have gone home, that doesn’t like living with the question of ‘what if?’.

So, instead of getting up and walking away, Evan thinks ‘fuck it’.
