name: alexander coyle

gender: male, he/him

orientation: bax (some kind of mlm, heavy repression makes it hard to label)

canon: the movie's canon, i guess?

memories:

• i joined the military around my late teens/early 20s out of necessity and i hated every second of it
  • i didn't really have any friends in the marines, i could be pretty annoying (and honestly kind of an asshole)
  • getting discharged was both a blessing and the nail in the coffin of my mental health
• the friendly fire incident happened in the middle of the night, we got turned around without knowing and i got an order to fire on what turned out to be our own men
  • it was all happening really fast, no one had time to double check
  • hearing what happened really fucked with me, it was a big part of my ptsd
• i only met baxley in court, we didn't get along great at first
• we both got really fed up with all of it, and eventually bax asked me out to coffee. we kinda ended up bonding over everything
  • it caught me really by surprise, my response was super shocked and squeaky
• coffee breaks became pretty much routine and eventually led to us hanging out outside of court
• i think one of our court orders was therapy, and we got grouped together with the rest of the loonies
• bax ended up living with me for a while. it was really awkward and no homo for a long time because we were disasters
  • i don't ever remember him leaving
• the whole predator thing was a huge blur. it happened in a couple of days and i was on the verge of a breakdown during all of it

looking for: the loonies, anyone that remembers me

found: baxley, lynch, nettles

additional notes:

• i was Fucked!
  • i had a fun mix of ptsd, anxiety, depression, and a healthy dash of insomnia. i also frequently dissociated
  • my humor to cope thing was almost purely to drown out my trauma. a lot of my jokes were sexual because it was kind of a distraction; a step up from the darker shit i could focus on
• bax and i had. something
  • neither of us were comfortable enough with our sexualities to really label it, sometimes to even acknowledge it, but we both knew we loved each other in our own way
  • everyone knew we were dating before we did
• everyone hated mckenna and dr. brackett
• rory has five dads and mckenna is not one of them
