@aresoftheshadow requested a friendly starter.

“Sam!” Eilidh waved excitedly, crossing the street between cars to catch up to the other woman. “Today is your lucky day,” she promised, linking her arm through Sam’s. “I dinnae know where you’re headin’, but I happen to have an extra ticket to a concert up the road, and you’re goin’ to be my date.”

What's so great about Sam?

“I’m guessin’ this isn’t a question about her best attributes as squad leader, right? 

Look... Sam is, she’s feckin’ exceptional, y’know? Not just as a soldier. She’s my other half, in every sense of the word. We’re two sides of the same coin, from different worlds and different mindsets but that’s just what keeps us strong. 

Sam’s my best friend and she was that years before we ever became anything more. She can be harsh sometimes, clinical even, but when it comes to the people she loves, she isn’t shy about showing it. Her friends are her life and that’s something we’ve got in common. She’s no good about talking about her feelings or anything like that, but its then when you realise that she can only ever be genuine with you when she finally does show you how much she cares. 

I feckin’ love her, OK? It’d take me forever to explain all the ways why.”

Sam's a compulsive liar. She gave you that whole sob story routine just to prove that you're gullible.

Insult my muse’s friends.

“Why the fuck would she do that? What are we, 12?”

“Do you regret making friends with so many soldiers?”

[YES! A MILLION TIMES YES! SHE CAN HAVE BEEN FRIENDS IN ANYWAY SHE'D LIKE SINCE THE MAN WAS STRAIGHT AS A RULER. OH god Jimmy noooo *sobs*]

[Okay, yes, they definitely slept together :-) I bet they had a lot of fun together, in bed and out--making fun of each other’s accents, playing games, just making each other laugh. Maybe they weren’t all that emotionally close, didn’t necessarily share secrets, but they could always make each other smile, and they were always glad to see each other. And obviously Eilidh cares deeply about people, whether she bares her soul to them or not. 

Losing him gutted her. She didn’t know how to handle it--maybe she hadn’t lost someone who meant so much to her before. Maybe that was part of how she and Chris became so close? Maybe she got really drunk one night shortly after she got the news and called him up asking how the fuck she was supposed to deal with this pain because it wouldn’t fucking stop hurting. She wanted to know if Chris could help her fuck it away or drink it away or something. But of course if she really wanted to just fuck somebody to forget, she’d go to the bar and pick up somebody who wasn’t a fucking soldier. What she needed wasn’t to forget, it was Chris. And he understood.]

[HOW DARE DAN POST SUCH A VIDEO OF ABSOLUTE...

[I miss you loads and loads too, my dash isn’t the same with all these hiatuses. :( But I shall poke my Nick and Lara muses for your return :D]

[That would make me so very happy <3 I’ll be back a little maybe tomorrow evening, but back for real Tuesday night. Actually rather enjoying the irl stuff I’m doing, but I’m sad to be missing out on things here, and Eilidh misses Ames and Lara and Chris, and she’s driving me up a wall about it. I made a mix CD for this road trip we’re on, and I made the mistake of putting a lot of Eilidh/Ames music on it, along with some trick music, and I keep getting distracted by feelings.]
