Summary
whumptober day 31: gunshot wound, rescued by the enemy
There is absolutely no reason for Napoleon to be doing what he’s doing right now. No reason at all. He’s actively making his life harder and almost certainly setting himself up for any number of major problems, say, anywhere from five seconds to twenty-four hours down the line.
And yet. -

whumptober day 15: "you can take a break, if you just tell me that it hurts"
“Now remember, you can take a break at any time, if you just tell me that it hurts.”
Illya fixes the man–he does not even know his name–with a glare. I will not, he thinks, but does not say. I will never.
&
whumptober day 23: "how'd i get to this place?"
The cause of all of this pain, the torture, he remembers well. But the fight—he knows there had been one from the fact that he is now free, but he doesn’t remember any of it. He doesn’t know how he got away, or where he’d been in the first place, or what path he’d taken.

whumptober day 30: mirror
It’s not that bad, as far as injuries go. This isn’t what makes him stop and stare.
It’s the look in his eyes, on his face. -

Summary
whumptober day 25: left to die
He’s at the edge of a swamp and he is bleeding. Gunshot wound to the torso, another one to the lower leg. They hurt like all hell. Mosquitoes swarm around him, and he raises a sluggish hand to shoo them away.
&
whumptober day 28: "i could always see straight through you"
He wakes up and knows he’s in the hospital without opening his eyes. -

Summary
whumptober day 12: withholding medical treatment
“This was your mistake. You’re hardly bleeding out. It’s your problem, not ours.”
&
whumptober day 27: surgical scars
It is almost poetic, Illya thinks. This cut is nearly exactly opposite the scar from the other one. The very first injury he had ever sustained in the course of this work. -

whumptober day 22: hunted for sport
Nick wakes up groggy and dizzy and in the woods.
He sits up. His head spins. He’s covered in leaves and the earth beneath him is damp. It smells like trees and rain and he is more than a bit cold and the sun is beginning to set.
Why is he here? -

Summary
whumptober day 17: innocent bystander (alt no.13)
When she gets the call, after the initial concern for him has been placated with assurances that he’s fine, mostly, her first thought is that he must have done something. He must be involved in some way.
This because, as a rule, Jane typically doesn’t just happen to end up in the immediate vicinity of an explosion. -

whumptober day 2: sewer
River really cannot believe this. As if it’s his fucking fault that the guy whose garbage he’s been going through had gotten spooked, had flushed something–River doesn’t even know what–down the toilet.
Well, okay. Maybe it’s a little bit his fault.

whumptober day 13: "i hate this job" (alt no.18)
