Summary
In 1815, twenty-year-old William Hargrove is a celebrated sea captain, hero of the French navy, beloved by his crew and son of Marseille's respected governor. His star flies high, and he's supported at every turn by his first mate and secret lover Steve Harrington. It seems nothing can bring him down--
--until he's suddenly and unexpectedly accused of treason, and sent without trial to the fearsome Chateau d'If, a nightmarish prison where he faces horrific torture and abuse, and from which there can be no escape. In one stroke, Billy loses his freedom, his reputation, his friends and his position - and he's forced to leave behind his beloved Steve, never to see him again.
The Chateau d'If offers little in the way of hope... but Billy swears that he'll have his vengeance against those who have betrayed him. He'll escape the lonely prison, regain his power and fortune, and reclaim everything he's lost - including Steve.
(AKA the Count of Monte Cristo AU no one asked for!)

Summary
“That’s the reason, Yusuf” he said. “I know what it means to be on the wrong side of history. I know what it means to look back at your past and realize how wrong you were, how stupid the war you were willing to die for was. And those kids, those kids that are fighting in the mountains, that are dying in the mountains… those kids are fighting a war they have no hope of winning because it is the right thing to do. They are the resistance. They are our last hope.”

Summary
Planes fly by in droves, drop bombs, then race back for more bombs. It will be a miracle if any building is left standing after all of this - but there are no miracles left in the world. The world changes and will change again in the next hundred years but, from here on out, there will always be bombs.
He might as well get used to them.
