So I don't read a whole lot of genderbend fics but I get in the mood sometimes. Most, well pretty much all the H5O ones are female Danny and male Steve. Which is like, fine. Thats chill. There's only a handful of female Steve fics. But I don't know why people don't see the potential there. A female navy SEAL? The story would be fantastic. As far as I'm aware thereve been female SEAL recruits but no woman has ever completed the training. And the time Steve was in the military, it was still a pretty conservation women stay at home time no? Also, Danny with his hot badass 6'1 Amazon warrior of a girlfriend?

rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words.

most hits: hold me until we crumble 22k Steve/Bucky (Winter Soldier)

The Antiques Roadshow fic!! Wherein Steve takes a much-needed break and does a guest spot at the Roadshow on Captain America memorabilia...and keeps coming across memories of his own. Genuinely, sincerely, this fic means so much to me. Of all of the stories I've written this one continues to get the most beautiful and touching comments even after all these years, so I'm glad this made the list!

second most kudos: something good can work (and it can work for you) 9k Eliot/Parker/Hardison (Leverage)

BEST OT3 OF ALL TIME!! I remember having a lot of fun playing around with Hardison's pov, probably for ADHD reasons. Plus, I love when Hardison and Parker can essentially pspsps at Eliot like a feral cat until he latches onto them for keeps.

third most comments: ghost stories for lost souls 17k Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian (The Untamed)

I'm so??? touched and surprised??? Considering this is a recent fic, the fact that it's third-most anything is amazing?? Lan Zhan is a ghost/creature/¯\_(ツ)_/¯ who meets reincarnated Wei Ying. I've rewritten this description ten times and can't add more without spoiling it. But happy ending!

fourth most bookmarks: You've Got Hawaii (and all I've got is you) 17k Steve/Danny (H5O)

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh H5O. You were SO.......A Time To Be Alive. I really enjoy gift-giving as a love language, and even though I was auctioning off my writing services for charity iirc the person who won me let me have free reign!

fifth most words: A Certain Sense of Synergy Between Yourself and Me 29k Misha Collins/Mike Rosenbaum (spn & smallville rpf)

Listen.................... I CAN explain writing nearly 30k for an rpf ship with two people who have likely never met.......but I don't want to :P

least words: in sickness and in health 219 words Finch/Reese (Person of Interest)

I'm not counting the podfics that have me listed as an author because even though those are my fics I put ZERO work into making them podfics, so I think this is the shortest actual fic I've posted? I had a minor heart attack scrolling through the small ones dreading what I would find, but Finch/Reese isn't too bad!

I am too lazy to tag anyone, but if anyone would like to do this please consider yourself tagged!

Finally added chapter 2 to my 911/Top Gun/SWAT fic. I also couldn't resist a H5O reference too.

Your specialty is making me feel like I'm in the story and that's it's never enough.

You wrote my fave mcdanno fic and my fave kp fic, I don't re-read stuff but yours I do

Ahhh thank you! Fun fact on the H5O front: yes the baby is Jack. No they don’t have three more. Also, the only thing Danni hates more than pineapples is Steve’s mom.

[the-invisible-queer]

do you have an unpopular opinion about any of Daniel's characters or projects?

Not really

I've literally loved all of his characters that I've seen so far except for Michael from H5O

I guess my unpopular opinion is to get an Agent Zero origin movie

Because his character is so interesting and based on what I've read about all the shit he went through they could make such a good movie about him

But now that Disney owns Fox and X-Men I don't trust them to do any X-Men movies justice

But that's okay because Agent Zero lives rent free in my head and in my fic

Phoenix (2/6)

Words: 1442

Pairing: Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, Chin Ho Kelly/Malia Waincroft

Summary: Alyssa has to work overtime because of Steve and Danny.

⚠ Set between 2.05 and 2.10 ⚠

Viking warrior mums squad.

The thing was that although Alyssa loved having Detective Williams and Lieutenant Commander McGarrett as her patients - and being surrender by their bickering - she saw them too much for her enjoyment.

She knew their medical records by heart, and that was because she had personally penned half of them. Sometimes they returned to her care before they had even completed their last medical treatments.

She had to pinch her nose too many times to not punch them straight in their nose and add more work. Her hot-headedness didn't improve her irritation but she was trying not to punch any more people during her shift, reminding herself that she was sent to Honolulu from Boston because she did hit her superior.

Yes, he had been a misogynistic bastard that constantly discriminated against every female employee but she was the one that got punished for that incident. He became the traumatological ward's head surgeon in one of the finest Boston hospitals while she was shipped away to Hawaii.

She didn't even like the hot weather or the sea!

She shook her head, hating her brain for reminding her of such dreadful times. She had paperwork to do and, if she was quick enough, she could slip out of the building without someone blocking her escape and asking her to do overtime.

Yeah, she could that.

Or not.

The moment her fingers started typing again, with such confidence that her fingertips ached, her door swung open and Doctor Malia Waincroft waltzed in with a hurry.

«You have to go down to ER».

Alyssa searched Malia's face, trying to find any crack she could use to her advantage.

She knew who Malia's boyfriend was and if she was there in person it meant that someone on the Five-0 team was injured just not work-related; most possibly Williams or McGarrett seeing that they were her patients. The woman was not asking her to do overtime but to attend to the injured man as a favor - she truly praised not both; because she had learned that if the two men were badly injured simultaneously, it meant that a dangerous psychopath was freely running around Oahu.

«The first time I will meet Williams and McGarrett outside of the hospital walls, I swear, I will punch them until they had learned how to properly take care of themselves», she spitted, too much tired to contain herself. «I am starting to feel guilty at how much they are paying me!»

Malia's face relaxed at Alyssa's words and a smile popped out, now she resembled the first friend Alyssa made on the island.

«You haven't to tell me that, I live not knowing if a want to punch or kiss Chin most of the time».

«Even if your brain decides that it's time to punch Chin, you would go for the kiss: you love him too damn much», Alyssa said to her friend before standing up and making her way toward the door. «So, who is today?»

Malia was right behind her, strolling along toward the elevator.

«Danny and Steve».

Alyssa frowned, her gut twisting with concern. «Both? What did the hell happen? There was no major incident on the news!»

«Well, they weren't working and they should have known better - being in their thirties and all», Malia sighed, ashamed of Chin's bosses' behavior. The two women stopped in front of the elevator.

Alyssa turned to her, wanting an actual explanation.

«They started a fistfight during Grace's - Danny's daughter - softball match».

The two women were silent for a long moment before the elevator dinged, Alyssa entered while Malia stayed where she was.

«If you hear someone calling HPD from the ER», Alyssa said holding the doors, «it will be for me, probably to be arrested for assaulting a police officer and a Navy official».

Malia laughed.

«Don't worry I will have your bail paid in less than an hour».

The first thing Alyssa heard, after arriving in ER, was Williams ranting.

She chuckled, categorizing these as "irritate ranting". She tried to not think that she saw the two men so much that she had started indexing the bickering, so, she concentrated on the male nurse that was moving towards her.

Ralph gave her two medical records and asked her to release the couple the fastest she could: he didn't want to see two grown-ass men fucking each other on an ER bed. She laughed and thanked him.

Williams and McGarrett were sitting together on a bed near the end of the area, their hips and shoulders pressed together; the smallest had a black eye while the tallest had a busted lip and an awful bruising on his jaw. Both had split knuckles and their clothes were ruined.

Two fistfighters at their best.

«Good evening gentlemen», she interrupted Williams ranting about what his ex-wife was going to pull when she heard about all this and the two looked at her, the blood flooding a little out of their faces. Maybe she was displaying her irritation for being urged into overtime, maybe not. «How're the other men?»

The slap of her newly wear plastic gloves on her wrists awaked the two officers.

«Women, doc», Williams answered with a splash of pink on his cheekbones. «And they are completely fine, just some scratches. They kicked our sorry asses mercilessly, though».

Alyssa took McGarrett's chin in her hands and pointed it toward the blond to better see the yellow and black bruise. He hissed at her touch but the jaw bone didn't feel damaged.

«They had to be strong if they made you come all the way to the hospital». She said remembering that one of the men was a policeman and the other was an ex-Navy SEAL.

«They all had mean hooks and two of them were MMA athletes...». McGarrett started while she studied his busted lip.

«Aaand Malia kidnapped us here». Williams concluded.

Alyssa wanted to laugh because she knew how Malia was but her brain had just decided to conjure up old memories again: the way Williams had finished McGarrett's phrase made her reminiscence the few months before two of her best friends got together.

They had been perfect for each other since day one, everyone could have seen it but them.

They studied together, they went around together and they always, always completed each other sentences. It took them almost twelve months but in the end, they started dating. Their wedding occurred two months after she landed in Honolulu and she wasn't able to fly back home for it.

She blamed herself and her temper and swear to never punch another human being.

Her now married friends, though, never blamed her. They had even decided to spend their honeymoon in Oahu so they could see her, she cried like a baby when she had seen them at the hospital reception.

«Are you okay?» Asked the male brunette in front of her, bringing her back in the present.

Alyssa stopped her brain from digging up other memories and imposed herself to breathe steadily. She had to clear her throat and shut her eyes to not cry.

«Isn't that my line, Commander?» She asked back, a smirk plastered on her face.

Williams waved a hand.

«Let it go», the blond told her. «He has a superhero complex. Even when is bleeding out he won't say anything and try to distract you by asking how are you».

His partner whined. «Danno!»

«Shush», ordered Williams and Alyssa laughed. Perhaps punching a superior wasn't the smartest thing she had ever done, and perhaps she now lived in a city that was thousands of miles away from her friends and her family but strangely enough, she didn't feel all that lonely anymore.

«So», she exclaimed, her mind back to work, «Detective, would you enlight me on the incident?»

«Oh no, no, no. Call me Danny». He offered her. «We see each other too much these days to not drop down to first names: I'm Danny and he's Steve».

Alyssa felt herself smiling her heart suddenly a little lighter. «If so, you can call me Alyssa. Back on track, why did you declare war on a Viking warrior mums squad?»

Steve had his mouth open to answer but his blond partner was quicker.

«If I have to be truthful», Danny began, «it all started with this tall, brainless, Neanderthal that decided he knew softball's foul better than the referee...»

Some Kind Of Curse - Prologue

The tension in the air lurking around Steve and Kris McGarrett was the first thing to enter the armoured Humvee. Kris almost had to drag her twin brother and their prisoner to their getaway truck back in North Korea, as he didn’t want to leave Freddy, his best friend, who sacrificed his life for them behind.

Kris, who was already hotwiring the vehicle from the driver’s seat begged him to get in the truck, telling Steve they would come back for Freddy and bring him home. Hell, she even promised him, and that was a very special favour for her to hand out nowadays- nothing can be for certain in the life of a soldier, but Kris was certain that they would be back for Freddy’s body so he could get a proper burial at home like the hero he truly was.

Now safely at the convoy a few miles away from the tiny north Korean village they found Anton Hesse in, Steve lets his shields drop a little bit and mourn his best friend who gave his life for his and his sister’s safe escape. Sitting across from her brother and next to Hesse in the small cab of their armoured Humvee, Kris bangs on the partition to tell the driver to take off, and then puts a hand on Steve’s knee, trying to silently comfort him.

If they weren’t in front of a global terrorist right now, Kris would discuss what just happened to try and get Steve to open up and speak his mind a little bit before their debrief, where he would hold in all of his emotions and just do his job, showing nothing but strength. Deep down, Kris knows that Steve is still a scared sixteen-year-old boy who was sent off to the Naval Academy by their grieving father, who was too depressed from their mother’s sudden and unexpected death to take care of his kids anymore. Thankfully, Steve and Kris got to stay together at the Academy, but their younger sister Mary, who was only 10 at the time, got sent off to Los Angeles to live with their Aunt Deb. Now, fifteen years later, Steve and Kris only really have each other to rely on, as they have been inseparable since the day they left home, which was once on the beautiful island of O’ahu. The only time they really talk to their father and sister nowadays is on birthdays and holidays when they’re not deployed, which unfortunately isn’t often for them. Steve and Kris take pride in their work in the Navy and Army, and that’s because it was there for them both when their family couldn’t be.

Steve nods at his sister, silently thanking her for her support, which causes her to retract her hand from his thigh and put it back on her gun to stay alert. Steve then reaches across the small cab of the truck and pulls the pillowcase off of Anton Hesse’s head, revealing his greasy, dishevelled hair and face. If Hesse wasn’t wearing a TAC vest right now, Kris is pretty sure she would have just shot him on the spot, out of pure hatred and disgust towards this man. Hesse looks around for a moment to try and figure out who grabbed him, and where he is, since he was swiped away from the village so fast that he never got to see who snatched him. When Anton recognizes the McGarrett twins, he lets out a chuckle, which causes Kris and Steve’s stomachs to do a bit of a flip flop. Kris’ heart rises to her throat, getting a feeling that something bad is going to go down, since Hesse almost looked happy to see her and Steve. Staying silent, Hesse looks around the truck again, and then decides to stare at the twins, looking curious about something.

Kris is the first one to speak up at his weird staring. “hey,” she says loudly to him, getting his attention. “What the fuck are you looking at?” She asks him, trying to scare some of the cockiness and swagger out of him. Hesse just smiles and laughs a little bit, which definitely was not the reaction Kris was expecting. Steve leans across the truck and grabs Hesse’s collar, yanking him closer to Steve’s face. “she asked you a question, Anton.” Steve snarls, flashing his teeth a little bit, to try and show Anton that they aren’t going to take any of his bullshit right now. Steve and Kris have been tracking Anton and his older brother Victor across the world for years now and are a little mad that they have only caught one of them so far. Anton rolls his eyes and tests the zip ties on his wrists, trying to see how much room he has to play with. Steve shoots him a glare from across the truck, looking like he wants to reach across the truck and strangle the terrorist, but doesn’t actually act on it. A tense silence breaks out again for the next few minutes, allowing Kris and Steve to look over Anton and analyze his every move so they are prepared for a possible attack by him; they are always on high alert and attack mode, so they are ready for whatever Anton has planned. His extraction from the village seemed a little too easy, and only a bit of a fight was put up at their escape, costing Freddy his life. Deep down, Kris has a gut feeling that there is something else at bay here with Anton, but she doesn’t know what. She looks over at him, trying to read the smirk on his face and understand why he is acting so arrogant about his capture. He should be silent and terrified about being handed over to the American government, not like someone who just won the metaphorical lottery.

Anton sits up in his seat and begins to speak. “It’s funny. You two don’t look Hawaiian.” He says to the twins, obviously trying to get a rouse out of them. He fails miserably of course, because they both remain stone faced. They don’t even blink.

“you’re gonna tell us everything, Anton. Just give it time.” Steve says with a bit of a snappy tone, completely avoiding Anton’s question about them.

Anton just smirks in reply. “But you were born there, weren’t you?” Anton asks this time, still trying to hit a sensitive spot or something on the two soldiers. He probably knows that they won’t reply to any of his questions, but as long as he gets them talking to distract them, then he has completed his task.

Now it’s Kris’ turn to says something snippy to Anton. “Every terrorist cell you and victor helped arm, every supplier you ever worked with, all of your trafficking associates… Everyone you’ve ever sold weapons to… we will know once were done with you.” Kris says firmly, trying again to reiterate that they did not capture him to fuck around and become friends- Anton and Victor Hesse are global terrorists that must be stopped, and it is Steve and Kris’ job to take them down.

Anton wiggles his eyebrows, completely ignoring the glares and threats he is getting from the soldiers in the Humvee with him. “With you two chasing my brother and I around the world for five years… Like a doggy lookin’ for a bone… You don’t think we’d do our homework on you, would ya?” Anton smirks, just as Steve’s satellite phone rings, which makes his and Kris’ eyebrows furrow in confusion. Nobody should be calling them right now, especially when they’re on a mission as critical as this one.

Steve quickly pulls his phone out of his TAC vest and looks at the screen. He scowls at the caller ID, and quickly flashes the screen over to his sister to show her that it’s their dad calling him. Kris’ phone then rings too, which makes her heart rise to her throat. She knows already that this isn’t going to end well- there are too many red flags being put up right now. She pulls her phone out of her TAC vest and sees that the call is coming from her dad’s cell phone too. The McGarretts lock eyes momentarily, allowing each other to know that they know something suspicious is up and to be careful.

“You should probably get that. You two don’t speak to your old man nearly enough.” Anton suddenly says, which makes Kris see red. She immediately knows that this was Anton’s plan all along, and they easily fell into his to trap. All she can do is pray to god that her dad comes out of this unharmed.

After shooting Anton a vicious look, Steve answers his phone. Kris follows suit with hers. “Dad?” Steve asks, feeling his heart pound in his ears. He knows something bad is happening right now but has no idea what to do about it.

“Hey champ… Hey Tiger.” The gruff voice of their father, John McGarrett says, sounding exhausted. Kris and Steve now know that something is horribly wrong from his voice, and from the fact that he never calls them anything other than their names- the nicknames strike them as odd. Filing the nicknames in the back of her mind, Kris is the next one to talk. “You alright?” she asks cautiously, trying not to give anything away too early. John replies almost immediately. “Who are these people, guys?” he asks, now sounding a little scared. The fear in his voice makes Kris’ breath hitch in her throat. John McGarrett isn’t scared of anything, nor does he ever sound as vulnerable as he does now. Something is very, very wrong.

Then, the cocky, arrogant voice of Victor Hesse comes onto the call, which makes her see red. Before Steve can even say anything to her, Kris hangs up her phone and dials the Honolulu Police Department, as she has had that number memorized since she was a kid, since her dad still works there to this day. When a receptionist picks up the phone, Kris asks for Sargent Duke Lukela, who was dad’s best friend when Kris was growing up, and she hopes to god that he is still on the force too- she hasn’t seen him in about fifteen years, so anything could be possible at this point. Thankfully, she gets patched through to Duke right away.

Clearing her throat, she puts on her tough sounding commander voice once Duke answers the phone. “Duke. It’s Kris McGarrett. There is something going on at my house. I have reason to believe that my father is being held hostage by Victor Hesse, a global terrorist and an unknown number of hostiles there. We need your help. 2727 Piikoi Street, ASAP please.” She says as briefly as possible, hoping that Duke remembers her and trusts her enough to listen to this random call from her.

Duke stays silent for a moment, most likely to comprehend everything that was just said to him, interrupting his Tuesday morning, which was already filling up with lots of paperwork. Leaning forward on his desk, his brain starts to go a mile a minute. Why is it always the McGarretts that are getting into big trouble on this island, he asks himself, but then takes a deep breath before answering Kris on the line, who does sound a little scared, even if she was the United States’ first female Navy SEAL, meaning she was supposed to be fearless. “You got it Kris. We will be there in five minutes.” Duke tells her.

Kris thanks him quickly, and before she can hang up, an explosion rocks the Humvee, which jumpstarts her sympathetic nervous system and instantly puts her into fight or flight mode. Letting out a few choice words, she hangs up and throws her phone down, and braces for impact as another explosion hits, this time sending the Humvee toppling onto its side. Kris cranks her head hard enough off the seat in front of her to see stars for a few seconds, but she quickly regains her bearings and remembers the mission at hand.

Anton Hesse… who is currently trying to worm his way out of the Humvee. Kris grabs him by the back of his shirt and pulls him back down to the floor (which is actually the door of the Humvee) next to her. He tries to wiggle his way out of her grip, but she overpowers him and holds him in place as Steve slaps a spare TAC vest on him. Kris checks her gun, making sure that its loaded, and looks at Steve, already equipped with a plan. “I’ll go first and clear the way. I don’t know what’s out there, but your job is to protect the prisoner, okay?” She tells him, and he nods. Feeling her heart rise to her throat, she lets out a puff of air and walks out right into an ambush. Cursing silently, she opens fire on the unknown hostiles, who are head to toe in black, and seem to keep coming from black helicopters over the ridge. Kris takes aim at the helicopters and manages to take down one, giving Steve and Hesse a clear path out of the truck, which is about to be closed in on again. Kris shouts at Steve to move out and covers him as he drags Hesse by the vest to a new spot of cover, behind another transport, making sure that we come out alive from this ambush with Anton. Kris and Steve work on autopilot when taking down the hostiles, making sure to pick them off one by one, so they can manage an escape with their prisoner and figure out how the hostiles managed to locate them so easily. Steve and Kris spilt up, trying to cover more ground and make sure that the coast is clear- there are a couple more hostiles hanging around somewhere, but they haven’t been able to locate them yet, so they decided that splitting up would be the fastest way of finding them. Carefully, Kris walks out from in between two transports, trying to track down the remaining hostiles, when Steve shouts at her to get down. She hits the deck as fast as she can, but not fast enough to avoid getting hit with a bullet or two on the way down. The bullets tear into her left shoulder and her TAC vest, which knocks the wind out of her. Steve quickly eliminates the remaining hostiles, and then shouts something at Anton. Forcing out a cough to get her breath back, Kris scrambles to her feet and sees Steve drawing his sidearm. She does the same and runs over to him. “Put it down, Anton, don’t make me shoot!” Steve yells, and clicks off the safety of his gun. Anton does the same, and aims the gun at Steve, but before he can pull the trigger, Anton is put down by multiple bullets to his chest, fired from Steve’s gun.

Slamming her gun back into her vest, Kris runs over to Anton, who is now wheezing and bloody, gasping for one last breath. “Come on, Anton, please don’t,” Kris pleads quietly, but before she can even reach for his carotid to feel his pulse, Anton goes limp. She checks for a pulse to make sure, but when she can’t find one, its confirmed. She drips back on her knees and lets out a puff of air, wondering what the hell Victor is going to do about this. Before her mind can go to the worst-case scenario, Steve’s phone rings again. Kris rises to her feet and locks eyes with her twin brother- they both know that something bad is about to go down with this call from Victor, and don’t really know what to expect or how to really prepare for it. Kris just hopes to god that HPD can get there in time to stop Hesse from doing something possibly devastating. Steve picks up the phone with hesitation and puts it on speaker so Kris can listen in on it too. Before either of them can say anything, Victor orders them to put Anton on the phone. Stuttering, Steve and Kris try to come up with something that won’t give away the fact that Anton is dead, but only manage to say “Listen, Victor...”, which makes Victor mad. The line goes silent for a few moments, before Victor speaks up again.

“My brother’s dead, isn’t he?” Victor asks loudly. Kris and Steve don’t know how to answer. There is no way that they can say this lightly to him, or even avoid it without their father getting hurt. “Isn’t he?!” Victor shouts at their collective silence and doesn’t even let them answer before he says the worst thing they could possibly imagine. “Then so is your father.” Victor says flatly, then fires off a shot.

Kris lets out a guttural scream as she falls to her knees, begging anyone who would listen to spare her father’s life, as Steve shouts a loud “NO!” into the phone, and tries to yell at Victor, only to find out that he has disconnected the call. Steve curses and redials their dad’s phone, only to get no answer. He keeps trying until someone finally picks up after the fourth time, but it’s not John McGarrett answering, its Duke Lukela. Steve falls to his knees and puts his phone on speaker again so Kris can hear what’s going on too. Right now, she is looking at the ground and taking some deep breaths to keep herself relatively calm.

“Duke, is our father dead?” Steve asks, ripping off the Band-Aid in one go. Dukes silence speaks volumes to the two on the other end of the line.

“I’m so sorry, Steve. I’m so sorry Kris. We weren’t fast enough.” Duke says quietly. Steve lets out a quiet thank you and hangs up the phone. Feeling tears well up into his eyes, Steve takes a deep breath and puts a hand on his sister’s shoulder in consolidation, hoping that they can keep calm and get through this together. They can mourn their father once Hesse is caught and brought to justice for his murder, so for now, they have a mission to complete, and wont rest until Hesse is either in their custody or six feet in the ground.

Kris takes a deep breath and looks down at the green grass below her, Steve’s hand on her shoulder snaps her back to attention and into SEAL mode, remembering that she is still on a mission: Find Victor Hesse, dead or alive and make him pay for everything that he has done, no including the murder of her own father, John McGarrett. Kris pats Steve’s hand on her shoulder and they both rise up to their feet once again – Kris notices some sharp pain in her ribs from the two bullets her vest caught, and a throbbing pain in her shoulder from the bullet still lodged in there. She quickly rips off her scarf and ties a quick tourniquet around the wound to stop the bleeding; this is the least of her worries right now. Right now, Kris, Steve and the survivors of the ambush need to get the hell back to base and report so they can finish their mission and take Hesse down, once and for all, now that he made it very personal.

Fifteen minutes later, once all the casualties are loaded into a transport and the survivors are back on their feet, they continue to base, which is only a few miles away, thankfully. Kris and Steve just can’t seem to get the sound of the gunshot that killed their father out of their mind, though. They both know that it will haunt them for the rest of their lives; in a way, they were responsible for his death, and that is something they will have to carry with them until they die too.
