Winter Time

On a snowbound forward operating base, Christmas is just another date on the mission board - until an overworked analyst and a battle-scarred captain start orbiting each other in the quiet between firefights.
A botched ambush, a near miss with death, and a handful of crooked decorations force them to confront what it means to keep people alive when you're both already half broken.
Between midnight tea in the ops room and a single candle burning on a frozen rooftop, trust slowly turns into something softer - something that might be love, if either of them dares to name it.
