Warnings: TRIGGERY!This fic starts within the few months following the 9/11 attacks. This story is meant to identify with the human spirit in times of strife and not the attacks themselves. No disrespect is intended towards anyone that may have been affected by that terrifying day. Please know that I have the utmost compassion for those that may have been affected (in any fashion, means, or way) by that occurrence, as most of us were. My heart is with the first responders as well as the victims, the survivors, their families and us all, as we continue to heal from this horrific day. I also have the overwhelming respect for those that have served before, that served during, or continually serve in the US military and for their families back home.
a/u, angst, brief m/m kissing, military combat & scenarios, OC death (non-graphic), hallucinations, and a happy (or at least hopeful) ending.
Summary: As a U.S. Navy SEAL, Steve McGarrett was trained to take on anything that came his way, but then came 9/11, deployment, and a care package from a stranger back home. Suddenly, life wasn’t as a planned out and regimented as he once believed. Will the hopes and prayers of one stranger thousands of miles away keep him alive long enough to keep thinking for the future? Are his dreams enough to bring him home? And where was home anyway?
