Fandom: Hawaii Five-0/Flashpoint crossover

SAM BRADDOCK is an ex-special forces officer who left the military after he accidentally killed his best friend while clearing out an area in Afghanistan.

THE STORY:

Braddock and McGarrett met while serving in special ops, but they were assigned to different missions before they could figure out their feelings for each other. Braddock is in town with his tactical unit and McGarrett sees him at his father's funeral, although they don't get a chance to talk until Braddock texts McGarrett and McGarrett calls him back. They end up sleeping together and realize they now understand each other on a whole new level: they're both haunted by guilt, Sam over his best friend and McGarrett over his dad.

When the tactical unit responds to an emergency, Braddock is taken hostage. McGarrett gets the ransom call and rushes to the scene to find Braddock's captor holding him at grenade-point. Braddock catches McGarrett's eye, giving him a signal; McGarrett and Braddock's team take the captor down, killing him. McGarrett rushes to Braddock's side, but Braddock reacts emotionally and pushes him away.

Later Braddock finds McGarrett and they talk about their relationship. Braddock tells him how he really feels about him, leaving McGarrett slightly stunned. Braddock intends to resign and he's on his way to clear out his locker, but he finds McGarrett waiting there. McGarrett asks Braddock to stay--for him. Braddock closes his locker door--covered with pictures from his past--he smiles at McGarrett, who grins back, and they both finally understand what this is: a chance to move on, together.
