halo human-covenant odst ptsd sangheili war

What does a Human-Covenant War Vet do when the enemy who haunted his very dreams are now in his everyday life? What is a man to do when he can't tell the difference between dreams and reality? What is he to do when face-to-face with his living nightmares? Not even he knows....

     Alexander C. Franks, an ex-UNSC Shock Trooper, lives his life as a bodyguard for hire; leaving the Military behind with his dead brethren. His price isn't uncommon, if not cheap. He has never had a complaint from his employers outside of his militaristic thinking and attitude. If he felt there was danger for his employer, he put himself in harm's way.

     After a few months without work, Alexander finds himself standing in front of a female Sangheili looking for his services. After his years of fighting, killing, and mourning because of her kind, Alexander must debate whether or not the very profitable, and needed, offer he was given from the Sangheili will be enough to stop himself from killing the somewhat small female; or if he will be able to stop himself from reliving his past again....All Rights Reserved

Fight to Forget (Sunstreaker x OC) by UnderAfallingSkyR3D

Two years after surviving the fight of her life, Medal of Honor recipient Melissa Smith comes home a decorated war hero, with commendations and medals attesting to her bravery and skill. To the higher ups, honorable discharge and full military benefits must seem like fitting repayment for the hero who repeatedly put herself in the line of fire to provide cover for her platoon, right? Wrong. Melissa doesn't know how to be a civilian, but apparently she can't be a soldier, either. A recent psych evaluation left her commanding officers no choice but to offer her an out after she froze under fire and nearly got her entire team killed. Her choice? Go home, or risk disgracing herself and the uniform. But that only left her alone with the demons in her head. Facing life outside the military is hard enough, but what will happen when a remnant of the best and worst moment of her life turns out to be more than meets the eye? Will she trust the angry yellow autobot assigned to protect her from Earth's most dangerous enemy, or will she put a bullet through his optic with all the deadly efficiency that earned her a name in Iraq? Trigger warnings: PTSD, depression, mentions of trauma, canon typical violence, adult language

Losing the love of my life taught me that inactions have consequences. My new bookkeeping job teaches me that numbers don't lie, but people do. Sharing yoga with others is my refuge from the darkness pulling me to stay home. A ginormous pro football player barging into my classes isn't in my rehab plan. Worse, it's the cocky jerk who treats me like I'm too insignificant to remember. If only I could say the same. Sam Pearson is Houston's golden, champion-winning quarterback. He's arrogant, rude, and reckless. His agent, my brother, thinks I can rehabilitate his injured shoulder and spiraling ego to achieve a long-term contract. I think Sam needs a reality smack in his handsome face. I should hate his rebellious distractions, but I can't stop challenging him out of his comfort zone. After losing most of myself along with my other half, Sam's woken me up inside. He challenges me, irritatingly, which is exciting and scary. He's dangerously close to cracking open my closed-off heart, revealing the secrets holding me back. And yet, he might also be the second chance at love I thought I didn't deserve. A Wattpad Creator story. Mature content - 18+ Story is complete! #1 - quarterback, yoga, charity

Blind Promises by Bextra6

A lonely girl from a small town in Oklahoma finds herself in the middle of Seattle, Washington. What she didn't know was fate was about to deal her a hand that she needed to help put all her demons back where they belonged, locked away for good. A war hardened soldier, blinded in an attack while doing a black ops mission, was sitting there with his friend at a movie night of all things when an angel walked into the room. What little vision he did have gave him the notion that an ethereal being had just graced his presence. Little did he know, she'd be stuck with him for the foreseeable future after an unexpected attack. At first she was drawn to his service dog, but then it wasn't long before she couldn't keep her mind off of him. Which was good because he had no plans of ever letting her go. Sight unseen, he'd decided she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever met. He knew he had issues she didn't deserve to have to handle. She knew she had a past that he wouldn't want to deal with. But fate had other plans for the two lovers, a blind promise. Can they work through their differences, their mental health challenges, and the dangerous situations that come their way?

My Monster Dream by Author_J_

Throughout the book, the main character tries to discover what it means to be alive as a 'lower being' in a new world. Originally, she believes herself to be human until an accident occurs, and she finds herself to be woken up in the middle of what she thought to be some sort of cosplay festival. Oddly enough, these strange creatures weren't human, which she quickly realized after being attacked and nearly killed. Now she's got to learn how to survive in this new, scary environment where everyone's out for her demise. I've learned a lot of the parts in this book relate to real-life events, places in the present, and the past. You'll see a lot of connections between actual human historical events and the goings on in this book. The main character is, above all, head strong and bold. She's unafraid of the social normal and any punishments that come when defying them. ----- My original caption for the story: I had a dream, and it was kinda awesome and slightly romantic. I'll try my best to write down what I remember.

"It's Not Real." by MysteryWriter197

The weak link. Thats all you were. The only female operator within a sea of males. You were quick and agile yes, but when it came to close combat you were nothing compared to their brute size and strength. That was your downfall. Days, weeks. Never ending. You spent your time in Kortak's hands enclosed in darkness, moved every few days so that your team couldn't pinpoint your location. A bargaining chip.. A toy for them to play with.. Their leverage against the all mighty Ghost. When you were finally found due to a mistake on Kortak's end you were in shambles. Flinching away from even the slightest of touch from your husband, Ghost. You could barely even leave the barracks on your own without being sent into a panic. It wasn't safe for you to stay in the service. Months of therapy, countless bottles of small blue pills, never ending night terrors. That wasnt the worse part. No, nowhere near. The slight movements out of the corner of your eye, the faint sounds of footsteps when you were sure you were alone in the house, the creeping feeling someone was watching you. He still haunted you. Your memories, your every waking thought, your dreams, every breath you took was laced with his presence. He was the monster in your mind. Forever there to stay.

My Throat is an Open Grave by inkandpaperqwerty

Dean didn't get paid nearly enough for the job he did. Seriously. Using the money he had set aside for his missing brother to purchase Lucifer's Prom Dress from a monster auction, and then traveling halfway across the country with Heaven and Hell's most coveted weapon riding shotgun had to be worth more than credit card fraud could provide. And if that wasn't bad enough, the Boy with the Demon Blood just had to be named Sam, didn't he? Sam didn't get paid enough, either, but he was significantly less picky than Dean. He just wanted a family, a place to call home, a chance to find out what hug was like, and maybe a break from the constant nightmares. If that was too much to ask, he would understand, seeing as he was a stupid, disobedient, demon-blooded monster who disappointed every owner he had. Just one thing, then? Maybe? Just an older brother to get in between him and the monsters and pain and nightmares; one who would sometimes, if Sam was a very good boy, call him Sammy and give him hugs. Yeah, that would be nice. That would be more than enough for Sam.

Harwal, book 3 by noozaster

I'm our crew's problem solver, the one who goes on our most difficult and dangerous clients. They see me as brave and strong, but I am anything but that. I'm a coward. I keep secrets that I don't want others to know. Everyone knows I'm terrified of Zohra, but now I'm stuck with them. I was crazy for just a moment and agreed to stay with the ship crew. That isn't the most pressing matter, though. We are in danger. Apparently, our whole planet is. We need to go investigate a laboratory in my hometown. Even worse, I know I have to be the one to go and help with the investigation. But the absolute worst problem is that the one going on the infiltration mission is the Zohra from my nightmares. A Zohra named Harwal. I have to put aside my fear and try to make everything work out. But that seems impossible by the way he acts and how I react.
