"We've got a Black Hawk down, we've got a Black Hawk down! Super 6-1 is down. We've got a bird down in the city."
October 3rd, 1993. Mogadishu, Somalia.
Mohammed Farah Aidid, Somalian militia leader and tyrant, rules the city of Mogadishu with an iron fist. United Nations forces stationed nearby have been active for months, occasionally skirmishing with the militia but so far, no major engagements have occurred.
William (Bill) Shaw is an 19 year old boy from Portland, Oregon. His dream was always to join the army rangers with his high school best friend, Jamie Smith, and finally, in May, he'd done it. Now, six months later, he finds himself arriving at the Mogadishu airport, where the greatest test of his life is about to begin.
This book tells the story of the battle of Mogadishu, also known as the Blackhawk down incident.

turn back time {hotwings} [Dabi x Hawks]
"I'm certain you will become a pro hero someday." Hawks opened his eyes and looked up at me, his soft smile making my heartbeat fasten. "You really think so?" I nodded and tucked one strand of his hair behind his ear. I didn't even think about what I was doing. I wasn't scared to embarrass myself anymore. I wasn't even thinking about anything anymore. Nothing surrounding us mattered. My brother could come running towards us standing in flames and I'd still need to be slapped some sense into before I would react. Hawk's smile grew a bit, but stayed soft. "If I become a pro hero, you'll be one too. Let's... be heroes together. Like a duo or something... Like partners. You have crimson hair and I have crimson wings. It would fit so well." I smiled brighter at him. The thought of growing up and becoming heroes with him made me so happy. - But things can change so fast. Someone can become a completely new person in only a few years. Two childhood "friends" meet after many years again and realize that their feelings for each other haven't faded at all. But can a villain and a hero really be together or are they destined to fall apart?Complete
