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....

The Corvus Protocol
For Spartans Jax-007, Ria-031, Kai-119, and Vance-142, the war was simple calculus: duty, data, and defense. But during a quiet decompression period back on Reach, their sterile world is invaded by the messy reality of the civilians they protect. The simple sights-a father's love, a child's laughter, the raw fear in a crowd-begin to crack the Mjolnir-forged logic of their training. They feel a rising, conflicted emotion: empathy. When the Covenant fleet finally appears in the sky, these four Spartans must face a terrifying new challenge: Can they still be the UNSC's perfect, emotionless weapons when they finally understand what, and who, they are truly fighting for? (Disclosure: This is a complete work of fan-fiction from the game franchise "Halo". None of the references, worlds, people, etc. are not of my own creation, but are used liberally uncanonically.)

"Almost Green"
Strands of your mind cling together like web to a slippery leaf bathed in the morning dew. You have seen both heaven and hell, witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, and imagined a better life in the deepest, most intimate corners of your dreaming spirit. The wishes for peace and certainty you have once so desperately longed for, now lay trampled underneath the might of your mind's vivid horrors. What was once so bright and lively, now cowers in fear, clinging to gone memories like a shipwreck survivor to some lowly piece of driftwood. From the depths of hell, you arrived victorious, grasping the laurel wreath high above your head. Unrecognizable, with your empty eyes telling a story of innocence brutally taken away from the child curling in shame in the depths of your empty soul. Almost green you are, curly head, having grown up with a rifle by your bedside table, never knowing peace and quiet. Out of the pan that was the Kazdel Civil War and into the scorching flames of Lungmen, where life flows by on its own accord, here, you must learn to live once more. So put on your best facade, Let the reuniting trumpets ring a wild, And allow the city to swallow you whole. Here we are, a continuation of my previous work "Goodbye Curly Head", which sprawled into quite the epistle (but it wasn't really a letter, it's just long :P). Summarized in the most basic way possible, it's a story about a twenty-year-old Kazdel Civil War veteran who goes to Lungmen and has some troubles acclimating to the steady life presented before him. Sprinkle in a too-good-to-be-true offer and a freshly established logistics company, and you get Andy trying to make it big for as long as his deteriorating mental state lets him. I'd say it works as a standalone story for anyone who doesn't want to bother reading the first part. For now, at least. As always, please, pwwease leave a comment, positive, negative, I LOOOVE reading and replying to comments!!Complete
