Title: crooked love (in a straight line down) Ship: Bradley Bradshaw/Jake Seresin Author: @pissmotif Beta: @mxrcusflint Artist: @/thepotatosimon (twitter)

His life wasn’t perfect; he still had to see his therapist once a month, still had to adjust his meds when the dreams started to pick back up, still felt like he dissociated through the whole month of November, but it was good. Bradley was happy, he’d learnt to live with the regret of leaving his life behind, of leaving Jake behind. or, Bradley leaves after the mission, and five years later, Jake tracks him down.

From Friends to This by @nixie-deangel

This was such a lovely one to create for folks. Just the warmest loveliest time. I wish i had a little more time to spend on it because there are definitely some things i wanna tweak but mostly i'm so happy with how it turned out!

Another big thank you to @topgunbigbang for organising this beaut of an event and reaching out to me to pinch hit for this one, I'm genuinely thrilled I had the opportunity!

Alt piece without the lens flare, and a very mangey sketch below the cut 💚

Also exclusive behind the scenes info: I fully forgot to make a banner so I whacked this one out in literally 3 hours, I would have done WAY more with it if i were a better person/less terrible organiser, i'm so sorry Nixie

Title: swing batter, batter Ship: Bradley Bradshaw/Jake Seresin Author: @peaktotheocean Beta: Ryn Artist: @doodledraw

Bradley has always been suspicious of the man Javy calls his brother. The guy has never once come to see Javy play in a major league baseball game. He knows the Navy leave rules are strict, but surely Lieutenant Jake Seresin just doesn't care enough to come around. Then Bradley meets him. Then he falls for him. -or- How Bradley makes a new family and finds his old one at the same time.

Title: From Friends to This Ship: Bradley Bradshaw/Jake Seresin Author: @nixie-deangel Beta: @iprefervillains Artist: @im-not-batman

Bradley Bradshaw spent years thinking about leaving the Navy behind, so after his brush with death during the Uranium Mission, he decides it's finally time to go through with it and stop living for others, desperately chasing ghosts. In between learning how to live for his own wants and needs and re-discovering old hobbies, he suddenly finds himself offering Jake "Hangman" Seresin his spare room. Rooming with Jake would be less troublesome if the man wasn't his ex-best friend, who he's been in love with for nearly a third of his life though.
