Resurrection | 12

Summary: A ragtag team of Spec-Ops operators are brought out of retirement for all the wrong reasons. When the dust settles, only the best will be left standing. Pairing: Pablo Schreiber x OFC, Henry Cavill x OFC (listen, she gets with the whole team, okay? Don’t lie, you would too.) Word Count: 2K Warnings: Nothing much really. A/N: Sorry this took so long. February really is the worst month.

By the flight manifest, we’re half an hour behind Wallace, and I feel every minute of it on the plane ride from London to Benghazi. Prior to joining the team, I’d only been assigned to Libya once and it was from the comfort of the Whitney parked off the coast of Italy. This will be my first time with boots on the ground, and the history of spec ops in the country isn’t lost to me; it’s just one more reason why I’m glad I no longer have to wear a uniform.

“Ten minutes out,” the pilot calls over the comms, everyone prepping their go bags, ready to make up for any head start Wallace has.

Benina International Airport barely registers in my mind as we pick up two vehicles that were prepped for us courtesy of Uncle Sam, my mind’s sole focus being on saving the hostage and capturing Wallace. All of us want our pound of flesh, none more so than those he’s directly injured over the course of the last few weeks.

“I need everyone on their A game. We can’t afford to let him slip through our fingers again. His behavior is escalating and since he’s so well-connected to the who’s-who, it stands to reason, he’s going to throw everything he has at us. Above all else though, we leave no one behind. Understood?” Rick’s voice is firm but warm over our comms, making it clear that despite the gravity of the situation, he cares about our well-being first and foremost.

“Do you think he’s trying to do a shot-for-shot remake?” Jake asks as we roll into Benghazi proper, grateful for the tinted windows on the late model G wagons no doubt left over from Gaddafi’s rule.

“If you mean do I think he’s going to go to the same village we were patrolling? No. I don’t think he’s that sentimental about things. I think he’s going to pick a spot that’s overlooked by the country and blow it to high hell after he finishes reenacting his sick fantasies. Remember, had we not stopped him that night--”

“I know, he’d have committed war crimes,” Jake cuts Dom off, his sickened expression making it clear that he doesn’t need to be reminded.

“Has intel found him yet?” I ask, hoping we don’t have to waste any more time in tracking him down.

“They don’t have a lock yet, but they are tracking a BMW that came out of Benina half an hour ago. Reports of a blond woman without a hijab and a red-haired man poured in the second they landed.” Rick explains, all of us shaking our head.

“Muslim majority country and she already sticks out like a sore thumb by being blond, but he didn’t bother to make her wear a hijab? If we don’t get to him, the Libyan police will,” I snort, finding little humor in the recklessness with which Wallace treats the lives of others. Like any good narcissist, he cares only for himself and if others get hurt in the process of him getting what he wants, so be it.

“They’re going to attract attention no matter what. All of us are. Keep as low a profile as possible, and with any luck, we’ll be out of here by this time tomorrow,” Rick adds, all of us hoping for the outcome that’s eluded us since we reunited.

Our hideout in Benghazi is simple, yet beautiful. Like most places, it’s heavily fortified, a solid metal gate closing behind us and men standing watch on all four corners as we make our way towards something that resembles a Roman villa of old. Outside, the heat hits me and for a second, I’m brought back to the op that nearly took my life, hoping that this time, things will end differently, at least for our team. Max’s cologne brings me back to the present, and I fall in step with him as we make our way into the blissfully cool war room.

“Oh fuck yeah. Don’t mind if I do!” Jake enthuses as he takes note of the tea and finger foods laid out on the table. Shaking my head, but nonetheless pleased, I take a seat and let out a breath I don’t realize I’ve been holding. Max’s hand smooths over my hair as he sits next to me, his gaze still eyeing my bruise with concern. It’s endearing to say the least, and not the kind of treatment I’m used to in any part of my life.

“Okay, fuel up, but pay attention. Intel has an eye in the sky and they’ve found the BMW. We’re tracking him now. Gonna let him get settled in, then we’ll pay him a house call. He’s also traveling light; only two body men and paid local team which means--”

“Which means a bunch of teenage human shields. Fucking great,” I mutter.

Stephanie Pierce had been dumped half an hour before getting to the airport. Doing her best to save face, she’d made it through security and was intent on getting a little drunk before boarding, if only so she could sleep on the flight. American by birth, she had come to London for school, and had, up until the breakup, been having the time of her life.

Now it's all spiraling into a nightmare.

“Please, just let me get back to the airport! I don’t have anything to do with this! I didn’t do anything! I’m just a student! Please!”

“I can’t do that, darling. For one, you’ve seen my face, and two...Well, you’re my insurance policy. You see, the people that I’m after, they have a soft spot for those they consider innocent. Problem is, no one’s ever truly innocent, are they? No, not even you, dear Stephanie. It only took a few moments for me to do the numbers, so to speak. Young, parents are middle class at best, no real money for school, especially abroad, but here you are in designer clothing, taking vacations whenever it strikes your fancy, and not a dime in debt. Do your parents know what you do on the internet, my darling? Didn’t think so. No, that deep, dark secret won’t be revealed until after you perish, which...will be soon, I’m afraid.”

Her screams make her captor laugh, almost as though he’s delighted by the reaction. It chills her to the bone. Now she understands that this isn’t some wannabe who hijacked a plane and has no real plan; far from it. Whoever he is, he has calculated each and every move leading up to this point.

She wishes she could talk to her mom one last time.

“Night Train to Alpha, confirm visual.”

“Alpha to Night Train we have visual. We count 12 signatures, including the hostage. You are a go.”

We’re no stranger to David and Goliath fights, and 12 is on the smaller side of some of the groups we’ve taken on, but no matter the number, we approach this one with extra precaution, only because of Wallace’s M.O. None of us are looking to be anywhere near another one of his bombs.

The compound he’s made his hideout is run of the mill for this part of the world. Like our own, Wallace’s has high walls, a sturdy gate, and a simple floor plan. It leaves us with two options; come in with a bang, or creep in with a whisper.

“There’s two gates,” I remind the boys, knowing full well that while they all prefer coming in with as much firepower as possible, it opens the door for Wallace to get away in the commotion, and I, for one, want to end this once and for all.

“Alpha, how many signatures on the exterior?” Dom asks, all of us hidden in the shadows, waiting for the deciding factor on how we proceed.

“Looks like 2 on the south side, patrolling the far gate. If you’re going in quiet, now’s the time to move.”

We all nod and immediately get to work. Strapping on my gloves, I grab my wire cutters out of the pocket on my kevlar, and wait until Flip has gotten into position. The tallest of the team, he bends over, providing me with the flat of his back to stand on so that I can cut the razor wire off the top of the wall. Carefully, I peek over the edge, relieved when I find the courtyard empty. Though there are lights on in the compound, every window is covered with an opaque blind, making this way of entering far better suited to our needs.

I cut enough wire away to allow all the boys to climb over, making sure to throw it away from the compound not only for safety, but to reduce the chances of us being heard. Satisfied that everyone has clearance, I pocket my multitool and quickly hop over, landing softly in the dirt.

Rick and Benji are quick to follow, the three of us taking up post so that the rest of the guys can come in safely. It takes less than five minutes for all of us to breach the perimeter, and after a moment to regroup, we move towards our target.

“Alpha, we need your eyes,” Rick whispers, taking point as we position ourselves flush against the nearest wall of the compound. We could clear the place blind, but that increases the chance that someone will sound the alarm as they die, and we can’t take the risk. Though they said they had to wash their hands of it, after Rome, the DOD extended their resources; while they can’t send those currently serving, they can provide a helping hand to those who are willing to risk it all to capture one of our own.

“Two at 3 o’clock, in the first room. There’s two at the back gate you’ll want to handle first.”

Nodding at one another, we split up. Rick and Dom position themselves at the first room, Flip and Benji take up post across the villa in front of another room, while Max, Jake and I edge around to the back of the compound, intent on taking out the two men guarding the rear gate as silently as possible.

With Jake on one side, Max and I move around to the other side, all of us needing to get eyes on the men. As I predicted, they’re young, but I find cold solace when I see that they’re not teenagers, bought out to act as human shields. Checking my gun, I make sure the silencer is on tightly before leveling it into place to look through my scope. At less than 50 feet, it’s an easy shot; it just has to be timed correctly. Max counts us down using only his fingers, and when the time is right, both Jake and I take double-tap shots, killing the men before they have a chance to make a sound.

Over comms, I can hear Rick and Dom breaching their first room, and as we move back towards the center of the villa, Benji and Flip do the same. My relief grows with every room that’s cleared, the body count growing as we approach the spot where Wallace is holed up with the hostage.

“Last room has the prize. Good luck, and godspeed.”

The room in question lies at the heart of the villa. Protected on either side by anti-rooms, We have to work our way through two more sets of men before finally being able to come face-to-face with Wallace once again.

A bright smile is the last thing we expect when we finally level our guns to his head.

“Nice of you all to finally join me. Thought it would take much less time for Uncle Sam to track me down. No matter, you’re here now, we can get to it. In your haste, I’m afraid none of you noticed...” Wallace’s gaze goes to the floor, and as my own eyes follow, I can’t help but feel my heart sink. My eyes dart quickly to Max and Dom, nausea overcoming me as I find that every single one of us has stepped on a trip wire.

“It’s like Russian Roulette, except I’m the one holding the gun.”

Wallace’s laugh will be imprinted in my mind for the rest of my life.

Mad Sweeney through the ages

Or, as Bilquis put it: the leprechaun, the hill spirit, the pagan warrior, the madman, and the great and golden king.

I felt like putting together a little quick-ref guide to all the different forms of Mad Sweeney we have seen as of American Gods 2.07, arranged in the order in which he lived them. Because I think it’s a hugely interesting progression and wanted to kind of organize everything we know! My primary source is the show canon, but I’ve supplemented the outline it sketches using additional names, dates, etc., from sources such as the Buile Suibhne, the Irish annals, and the AG novel to clarify details and fill in some gaps.

Of course, details vary between sources. The mutable, inconsistent nature of mythology is a key theme of Sweeney’s journey, and even within the series, the accounts of his backstory repeatedly contradict each other. So ultimately, these are my personal interpretations of what the series has shown us thus far and how I think it fits in with traditional literary/folkloric sources (or at least with particular versions of them).

Lugh, god of the sun, of luck, of the arts, and of kingship; a High King of the Tuatha Dé Danann several thousand years ago. (The Annals of the Four Masters put his reign from 1870 BCE to 1830 BCE, making him at least ~4,000 years old, though Pablo Schreiber has mentioned the figure 6,000 in interviews.) Called Lámfada (“long hand”) for his skill with his yew-wood spear; also called the Shining One. Grandson of the giant, one-eyed Fomorian tyrant Balor, who tried to drown him and the rest of his grandchildren in a lake to avoid a prophesized death. Lugh survived, however, and later slays him in the course of driving out the Fomorians at the second Battle of Mag Tuireadh, during which High King Nuada is killed by Balor and after which Lugh becomes king. Sweeney believes Balor to be the source of his predilection for madness.

Suibhne mac Colmain, son of Colmán Cuar and pagan warrior-king of the Dál nAraidi in Ulaid during the early Christianization of Ireland, circa the 7th century CE. Husband to Eorann, daughter of Conn of Ciannacht. When St. Ronan Finn dared try to build a church, Cell Luinne, on Suibhne’s lands, Suibhne retaliated to the sound of the bells by throwing Ronan’s psalter into the lake and spearing one of his priests. For this, Ronan cursed him to madness, wandering, and death by the spear: “May it be thus that he will ever be, naked, wandering and flying throughout the world; may it be death from a spear-point that will carry him off.” Flees the Battle of Magh Rath after foreseeing his death the night before (as he claimed in 1.07), or after hearing banshees wailing upon his arrival at the field (as claimed in 2.07), or, according to the Buile Suibhne, simply after being driven out of his senses by the frenzy of the battle itself. The Annals of Ulster place this battle in the year 637; the Annals of Tigernach, however, place it in 639 and, intriguingly, record that Suibhne was indeed among those slain.

Suibhne Geilt (“Mad Sweeney”), husband to Eorann and father to Moira. Unlike the other forms we see of Sweeney, which are more separated by time and more significantly transformed, this is still Suibhne mac Colmain. Bereft of his lands and status as a result of his desertion at Magh Rath, where his allies were defeated without his aid, he’s now a madman suffering under Ronan’s curse. In his madness, he is often compared to a bird, living unclothed and “among branches” like one and flying across the world so swiftly that his feet seldom touched the ground. Interestingly, Eorann claims in 2.07 that Ronan cursed him after Magh Rath, as a punishment for his desertion, which contradicts the story about the priest and the psalter that Sweeney recalls elsewhere in this episode.

One of the Fair Folk, in the last twilight days as Christianity was securing its hold on the land and transforming the myths about his kind. One night, he lies with a seer who tells him he will be undone and abandoned west of the sunrise, his fate sealed by a dead woman’s bauble. In some versions of the tale, however, he is murdered that very night in or near the refuge of St. Moling, either on the saint’s order or by his swineherd or cook. Though Sweeney as we see him here is now a fairy rather than a human, the inclusion of Moling links this era of Sweeney’s evolution to the traditional tale of Suibhne mac Colmain and thus illustrates the way in which people’s changing beliefs were in the process of transforming Sweeney from a legendary king into one of the fae. As there’s no mention of him being considered specifically a leprechaun at this point, I wonder whether this might be the “hill spirit” Bilquis refers to, or perhaps, per the novel, the guardian of a sacred rock in a glade.

A leprechaun of the aos sí, the people of the mounds, who live beneath hills. Beyond general fairy folklore, we know little about what Sweeney’s life was like at this specific time, as we glimpse him only on the periphery of the life of Essie McGowan, a resourceful 18th century woman from Bantry Bay who leaves him tribute throughout her life, keeps the traditional beliefs alive, and ultimately brings him with her to the New World. No longer a god, no longer a king, he’s very much being left behind by the world by now and feels even more lost in America. Nonetheless, the fact that he takes it upon himself to collect Essie personally at the time of her death demonstrates his gratitude and affection toward her and reflects his nature as a creature who is simultaneously loyal and fickle, reciprocating what he’s given for good and for ill.

Last but very much not least: Mad Sweeney as we know him today, a jaded, bellicose, fast-living alcoholic leprechaun whose memory of his own past has become incoherent and whose heart and code of honor are buried under a great deal of disillusionment and pain. Lately in the employ of Odin, known to Sweeney as Grimnir, who has promised to give Sweeney a chance to redeem himself in battle for his desertion at Magh Rath.

And as for where he goes from here... who knows? But I very much hope that we haven’t seen the last of this journey, and if we’re lucky enough to see more of him, I look forward to seeing who he becomes next.

#american gods #mad sweeney #pablo schreiber #irish mythology #folklore #buile suibhne #lugh #suibhne mac colmain #suibhne geilt #i keep having to restrain myself from going into tangents about the folkloristic relationship between the tuatha de & fairies lmao #and ALSO between the tuatha de & fairies & the dead (which i think gives insight into how suibhne mac colmain fits into all this)#but suffice to say that those three types of beings are all very entwined in celtic folklore #and that part of why i love sweeney's backstory SO much is that it's really a spectacular example of that #ag meta #my meta #op #ag 207

do you have any fcs you'd like to see, or ones that would fit the rp?

OH BOY, DO I. Before I answer with my list(s), I would like to make it clear that I really don’t care so much about FCs. Meaning, whilst I have some personal opinions on FCs I haven’t and don’t plan to enforce any excessive rules regarding FCs in the group. Plus, if we forced ourselves to only stick to FC’s who have resources from media set in the Wild West, we’d have very limited choices!

If you have any more questions — even about FC’s for specific Skeletons — don’t be afraid to hit us up again.

Disclaimer aside, here’s a few! I hope some grab your fancy. And thanks for your interest! Hope to see something from you in the inbox soon.

FCs with resources that fit the ‘look’. ( I have links to gif packs saved but won’t repost those links as I did not want do so without getting permission from the creators first — but ask off anon/send an IM and I’ll share links.)

A little check in!

Hello there writer friends! If you looked at my muse masterlist there's been some changes. I am not dropping any threads, but I did move some muses to a "requestable" tab which just means I won't be actively posting new open starters or musings for them. They weren't really getting love and are generally more reserved beans, but if you want them they're there and I'm happy to write them.

I'm entering the "no days off" and "testing" portion of my year. So until Memorial Day (May 27) even my weekends will likely be slow(er) on replies. I'm still not changing my two big rules: Do not post more than 4 replies to me in a day AND I will not write a reply with a male if you do not reply to a female. Obviously, if we only have one thread that's a different story, but I would still prefer balance.

Other things:

Geneviève had a FC change to Gracie Abrams due to a lack of resources for Emma Pasarow

Her brothers are now here: Christian (David Gandy FC) and Frederik (Colin Morgan) and if that tells you she's an oopsie baby, you're right. All three have opens up so let the second gen. Danish Royal Family chaos begin!

I gave up waiting for people to give me Lucy Boynton (Catherine) and Pablo Schreiber (Samuel) so I now have those muses, too.

Marcus, Trey, Taney, and Ula remain the beans I have the most muse for. If you don't have threads with them, please love on them.

The Halo TV Show Wants To Satisfy Gamers

When it comes to adapting a video game into a live-action adventure, it’s a tricky proposition. After all, you have to create something a mainstream audience can invest in while making sure fans of the source material are satisfied. Bargain bins are filled with examples of movies that missed the mark, but Showtime is betting it can right the wrongs of previous adaptations with its upcoming Halo TV show.

Speaking to press at the TCA press tour, Showtime Networks co-president Gary Levine revealed casting announcements for the character of Cortana, among others, and detailed how the show plans to appeal to fans of the Halo games. “The good news is we’ve been working very closely with 343 [Studios] through the entire development process,” he explained. “And they are there both as a resource to tell us stuff we don’t know and also to make sure we’re not violating anything big in the canon. So we’re doing this with total confidence that the fans are going to embrace what we’re doing.”

He also noted that while the graphic content of the show will be along the lines of what’s seen in other Showtime series–“PG-13,” as he put it–“violence is going to have consequence.” When it comes to a war between the USNC and the Covenant, that’s reassuring to hear.

The big question remains whether we’ll see Master Chief’s face on the new show, though. When GameSpot asked Levine about it a year ago, he teased Chief’s potential unmasking as “a key question and an important part of our series.”

While Levine still won’t reveal whether viewers will see the character’s face, American Gods alum Pablo Schreiber has been cast in the role. What that in mind, we asked what made the actor such a good fit for a potentially faceless part. “What I love about Pablo is he has the physicality to be a Spartan, to be Master Chief,” Levine explained. “But he is A: a great dramatic actor and B: he’s got such a twinkle in his eyes. [He’s] so good with wit and comedy. And we want the Master Chief to have that range. And Pablo brings the range.”

It’s still too early to tell, given that Halo doesn’t begin production until the fall. Our money’s on Chief taking off his mask to show viewers that “twinkle in his eyes,” though.

Halo is scheduled to debut on Showtime in 2021.
