Summary: A few weeks after you and Ben celebrate your first Christmas together, Ben is returning from another mission with the Supe Affairs team. When he discovers that you’ve been taken, he’ll do whatever it takes to find you. And then, to help you heal.
AN: I've written a lot of stories in the Break Me Down verse, but this is the first official mini series! This is set shortly after Love Actually.

So, I heard your asks were open, and wanted to drop in for one request myself - this one's for Soldier Boy.
In the same BMD background, what if there had been a mishap in one of the cases and the Reader happens to lose her memories in temporary amnesia. Ben finds out, and is her emergency contact. He takes her home, takes care of her, tries to jog her memory. And just when he's about to lose hope that she'll never remember him again, she does - and he expresses his relief?
If it's not too much trouble, I would also love if it were from his POV.
Anyways, totally up to you for taking this challenge - thanks for hearing this out.
Have a good day! 🙃
Hey there, lovely!
So I know you requested this several months ago, and we talked about it privately. The second I saw this request I was hooked. However, I knew that it had to be more than a one-shot, and it was going to take some research to do this prompt justice.
I reached out to my friend @deans-spinster-witch with a few medical questions, and she gave me some great info and guidance on my research. Now I'm happy to announce that this story will be a Break Me Down mini series, which I'll release after Calculated Risks.
So likely in beginning of May.
This will be slightly different from the original prompt, but will have many of those elements you requested. And we'll be going back in time! This one will be set shortly after Love Actually.
(Also, I'm by no means a graphic designer, so perhaps I got a little too bold with Canva on this one. 🤣)

I posted and deleted this awhile back, but fuck it. It's weird and I love it.
The half writing is courtesy of Station Eleven. I'd get into the book/vs TV show happily with anyone who wants to discuss--but honestly, I was thinking about the Locked Tomb, as I always do.

I like to think she'd enjoy the addition of "to the Monsters, we're the Monsters". Ironically, of course.
