Summary
“Do you want tea?”
John blinked at him, frowning to himself, probably wondering if he had just hallucinated that or if it was George who had lost his marbles.
“I think you do,” he said and rose, made his way to the stove, and set out to boil some water.
“What- Sir. I can’t ask you to make me tea-”
“And you didn’t,” he cut in, not turning to face him. “I offered.”
That shut him up for the next few minutes, even if the silence was a reluctant one.

Summary
John nosed into the sweat-soaked hair tangled at his nape, breathing a trail of lazy kisses from his neck down to his shoulder.
Alex let out a low hum, focused on nothing but the hundred pleasant aches littered across his body and the way John’s lips made his cooling skin tingle. He shifted on the spot, struggling to force his weak limbs into compliance so he could turn over onto his back and look his wonderful husband in the eyes.

John doesn't like making a big deal out of his birthday; he doesn't even really like acknowledging it at all.
Alex, of course, will not let that stop him from getting something special for his husband.

Summary
“Um, Sir, your- your son is here,” he said. Pa nodded, unsurprised, and Alex had to focus very hard to keep his feet planted and not give in to the urge to bounce his knees in excitement.
He hadn’t seen Jack in- God, it had been so long, too long–his last visit had been shortly after their father had bullied Alex into joining his staff, and that had been… almost two years ago now. Christ.
Alex couldn’t wait to finally see his brother’s idiot face again.
-
Jack visits camp, and while that is certainly a joyous occasion, there are issues in need of resolving–and something far more sinister, brewing in the background.
