I’ve listened to Far Cry: Rise of the Revolution, the prequel to Far Cry 6!
It’s pretty much what The Book of Joseph was to Far Cry 5 but as an audio series instead of a book. There are minor inconsistencies and a few things I personally imagined had happened differently, but the story mostly made sense to me. The writer, Alexandro Aldrete, didn’t work on Far Cry 6, but the game’s narrative director and lead writer, Navid Khavari, was the narrative advisor for the series, so it can probably be considered canon.
If it is, though, I just wish that most of what Rise of the Revolution reveals were already in the game. In my opinion, some characters didn’t have enough screen time and it was difficult to really understand their personality, motivations, and how they got there (Admiral Ana Benítez and María Marquessa, especially). We already learned a lot more thanks to notes, but the audio series provides much-needed additional information and details. We know characters and what they went through better, so it’s easier to have more empathy for some of them.
Weirdly, Dr. Edgar Reyes was renamed Dr. Edgar Ramirez… but I realized that was also his name in the game’s credits, for some reason. However, I have no idea why McKay’s first name went from Sean to Colin (I think).
I enjoyed Rise of the Revolution, as violent as it sometimes was (but not more than the game, and it’s just the sound). It’s an interesting addition to the world of Far Cry 6 and a well-produced audio series. Plus, the vast majority of the original cast is back!

Three: choices (part II)
Part II of “Three”. I really need to get better at the whole naming thing.
Tom Holland x reader x Harrison Osterfield.
Warnings: my shitty use of the English language. Angst, toxic relationship, cursing, things heating up, idk.
A/N: Tom, if you ever read this, this is so not what I think of you babe, I love you.
Also, this isn’t the end. First, because I don’t really like the course the story had taken. Second, because I think there are things that should be better explained. Third, because I think It’ll be ok to make a fic named “Three” a three-part fic, lol.
As I said I don’t really like this “chapter” but let’s hope you guys do and we can get a decent final episode for this telenovela, haha.
Part I link
***
No tone. Nobody answered the fucking phone. Not even Y/N. Harrison tried with Tom. Neither him. A thousand thoughts running through his aching mind.
“No one then?” Maria was cleaning the bar for the last time, her shift was over, it was time to go home.
“Nope, apparently I don’t have any friends”
“What about your family then? A brother, a cousin?” She was really worried about the blond guy, he looked like a mess.
“No, n-no way. Well, maybe my sister. No, not my sister. Don’t want my mum to know I’m like this”. His headache was growing in intensity. Haz remembered he came in his own car, he didn’t want to share a ride with the lovebirds.
“What the fuck are you doing!?” Maria yelled at him as soon as she noticed he was playing with the car keys. “There's no way you get into that car in this state”.
“I can’t leave the car here. It’s not really mine and if something happens to the bloody car my agent will kill me”.
“Well, better to be killed by your agent than drive this drunk and end up killing yourself or even worst, someone else”.
Haz was getting pissed. With himself for ignoring Maria when she told him to stop drinking, with Y/N for not answering his calls and messages, with Tom for being an arse, and with Maria for caring about him. After all, who the hell is Maria?
“Do you know how…” he said, shaking the keys on her face.
“What!?” She said, getting a little tired of dealing with another drunk guy.
“Could you drive me home please?” now he was using all of his charms. She saw it in his movies. Maria crooked an eyebrow and Haz smirked a little. She rolled her eyes and grabbed the keys. She practically had to drag him out of the club, the boy could barely stand on his feet.
“Okay, Harrison, where do you live then?” the girl asked while she adjusted her seatbelt. She didn’t get an answer. Harrison fell asleep as soon as she placed him in the passenger seat.
God, I’m trying to be a nice person, why’d you make this so hard for me?
“C’mon Haz, wake up, you haven’t told me where do you live!” Maria softly slapped Harrison’s cheeks, trying to “resuscitate” him. “I can’t believe I’m going to do this”. She tried to reach his left pocket, searching for his phone. “I must be driving completely insane,” the thought out loud. Harrison was still fast asleep, it looked more like he had passed out. “Ok prince charming, got your phone, I’ll need your thumb now. That’s it… unblocked. Gotta tell I’m a fucking genius”.
A little bit annoyed by her own rambling, María put the seatbelt on again and searched for the address on his phone. Thankfully the place was quite near, about twenty minutes apart from the club.
“Wh-What happened!? Where am I!?”
“Good morning sleeping-beauty” the attractive girl leans a little bit into him. He was hella confused, but surprisingly, he remembered her.
Still sore and dizzy, Haz asked Maria one last favor, to walk him upstairs. “How did we even get here?” he mumbled astonished by how quickly they arrived at his flat.
“Well, I got my methods” she laughed nervously. “I had to take your phone from your pocket”
“Huh, so you got your hands on my pocket,” Harrison said with a cheeky grin. “Don’t blush sweetheart, I’m just messing with you. Thank you so so much for this”.
The young pair finally arrived at the boy’s flat. Maria walked slowly beside him, still holding Harrison by his arm. She couldn’t believe what was happening, it was so fucking surreal. It’s not like she had a crush on him, but she totally did a couple of years before. She remembered so well how obsessed with him her friends were in high school. They’d totally freak out when she told them. Actually, she wasn’t sure about telling someone.
“So, this is my, this is my” Harrison pointed a white double door.
“End of the tour, I guess”. María looked at him like it was the last time she would, taking her time to admire one last time all of his perfect features. He was a mess from the rough night he had, but was still incredibly beautiful, just like in the movies.
“I know you’ve done enough for a lifetime without even know me but, I’d really like you to come in and grab some coffee. I’ll call you a cab, I, I’ll pay for it too”.
“I don’t think is a good idea, Harrison,” she said, a little bit sad it was going to end, but the sooner she’ll back to her normal life, the less she’ll miss being Harrison Osterfield’s guardian.
“Mar, I insist” He begged, holding her hands, rubbing his thumb over her knuckles.
***
All her life Y/N wanted things she couldn’t have. Her mother used to say it was impossible, she had everything a person could ever want.
It was always the same. He loved her, he made her feel wanted. She felt like he was her entire world. Then he gets mad at some stupid, meaningless thing. They yelled and hurt each other's feelings. But after the storm, he’d be back, apologizing for being a jerk and inviting her to come back to him. She feels safe, loved and wanted until the cycle restarts again.
Tom’s rage disappeared. He looked sad now. He wanted so bad to go back to that peaceful moment before the storm. Why’d she had to bring Haz into that place. A place that was actually a moment, a moment that was so sacred to him. He hated Haz, but he loved Haz. After all, he was his best friend.
“I know I did exaggerate, but please let me make it up to you, Y/N. Please?”
“I don’t care if you feel sorry now. Do you know how you made me feel?” Y/N was hurt. She really loves Tom, she always did. When they first met she thought she’d never had a chance, and now they were together and she was so happy. Until she had to open her damn mouth.
“I... I love you Y/N. I don’t want to share you with anyone. I definitely don’t want to share you with him anymore”.
“The fuck are you saying?”
“Y/N... It has always been the three of us. Can’t we just be two for once?”
“Be honest with yourself. Are we even a thing? You’re technically hiding me”. Y/N felt a knot forming in her throat, locking her words inside. She was trembling, trying so hard to do not cry again, not in front of him.
“You know I’m doing this because people will freak out and they won’t leave us alone. Plus they’re obsessed with you and him being a thing. They’ll hate you. Going public would destroy your career right now”. Tom sounded calm and analytic as if they weren’t in the middle of their worst crisis yet.
He was practically asking her to cut off Haz.
“But screw them” he added. “I don’t give a damn about press, our publicists, the fans… I, I only care about you and me Y/N”. Tom closes the gap between them, forcing Y/N into his embrace, resting his forehead on hers. She melted at his touch, she always did. She was asking him to be hers and forget about the world. Yet it was easier than what he asked, be his and forget about the only person that has always been there for her.
“I love you Tom” She hesitatingly tried to reach his face, her hands trembling a little. He intercepted her movements, taking her hands on his and kissing both of them. He was so smitten, Y/N couldn’t resist that image. She loved him so much. There was nothing she wouldn’t give up to be with him. Tom grabbed her face and looked deep into her eyes. Words were unnecessary. He knew he had won. Y/N was already sorry for the words she’ll pronounce. “I’m not gonna talk to him anymore”.
“But love, the movie...”. Tom’s excitement disguised in worry. He knew how hard it would be to tear their friendship apart, but he was determined.
“I think is the best for all of us. If he can’t understand we are together, well, he’s not worthy of our friendship”. Y/N listened to her own words in disbelief. What was she doing? Haz did absolutely nothing.
“You know what, let me talk to him. You don’t have to worry. We’ll fix this”. He pressed his lips on hers, not lovingly, but reaffirming he was in total control of her. “And then we’ll see if we can tell everyone about us”.
***
“You don’t have to do this”. A badly injured Captain Smith rested on the nursery’s litter. Y/N’s character, Eliza, had to clean the wounds on his abdomen. She could notice the goosebumps she was inducing to Haz, every time her hands lowered down his toned torso. She tried to swallow the knot in her throat, the nervousness taking her down at the thought of her most recent fight with Tom.
-”Y/N! Your lines darling!”
Director’s words took her out of her trance. She gave a little jump, everyone in set noticing she was long gone from there.
-”CUT! Let’s give her a moment”. The director let out with a frustrated sigh. The woman guessed something was wrong but didn’t want to confront the actors yet.
-”What’s wrong with you today? It’s the third time we have to take a break because you seem to be on Uranus” Harrison point out, clearly pissed by her attitude.
Y/N looked down and whispered “None of your business”, Haz propped out of the litter, trying not to soil everything with the fake blood, and glanced at her with incredulity.
-”Ok, I think we need to come clean Y/N, we’re friends, and we have a film to shoot. So, please, be honest. Did I make something to fuck up things between us?”.
Y/N looked away. She didn’t want to confront him about how weird he was acting since she was with Tom. Neither ask him if he was in love with her, as she thought out loud the other day before starting all this drama.
“I’m your friend Y/N. I’ll always be. I know I may have been a little bit of a dickhead lately. But it’s hard to me to see you together. Thridweeling it’s not okay with me. Also, I don’t like the way you’re dealing with all this hiding your relationship thing. It’s absurd. If you’re dating Tom and you’re happy about it you shouldn’t be leaving the club 30 minutes after he did and using another exit. Maybe I’m mistaken and maybe I shouldn’t interfere with your relationship, but I love you guys. And I think you’ll hurt each other”
Silence took place after Haz. His friend looked directly at him for the first time in the day. About to burst into tears, Y/N almost threw herself at his arms.
“I’m the one who’s a dickhead Haz. For a moment I even thought you had a thing for me and I… I told him and he got so mad at me Haz. It’s us who’ve been dickheads towards you” she sobbed, holding him close. “I even thought you had a thing for me” that’s all he heard. “Me too,” he told to himself.
Y/N broke the hug to notice she soiled her nurse uniform and started to laugh nervously, her contagious giggles making grow the grin on Harrison’s face.
“We good now, I suppose”. The blond guy softly punched his friend arm. She nodded and hit him back.
“Yeah, I guess we’re good” Y/N replied, whipping off some tears.
The director calls them back to set, instantly getting that things were fixed between them and they could finally road the scenes they’ve programmed for the day.
“Blood looking good on your suit Nurse Eliza” she said to Y/N, quickly winking at her.
***
Tom and Y/N were alright. Sometimes he would make some rude comments about how much time she shared with Haz on set, but he couldn’t go too far because Y/N’s mom makes sure to keep him in line. All that woman cared about was Y/N’s public image and she would not tolerate a scandal, that’s why they all agreed they would keep their relationship out of the public eye until the release of Harrison and Y/N’s movie. It worked as a “pilot” for their romance as well. Ursula, her mom, was convinced Tom was just another one of her daughter’s whims and she wanted to test them as a couple, to see if it was convenient to launch them as the next big thing.
It was hard for Y/N, because everyone was pushing her to do things she wasn’t completely sure of. Her days with Tom were happy, as long as nobody mentioned Haz in front of him. Don’t fool yourself, Tom was still being friends with Harrison and going out with him to bars and UFC nights, but as he did with Y/N, Tom treated Haz like shit as soon as someone asked the blond guy why wasn’t she there with them. Harrison wasn’t having it, so he tried to avoid Tom, but, also as he did with Y/N, he always came back apologizing and making promises of being a good friend for him, as in the good ol’ times.
The shooting was a real challenge for Harrison. He cursed himself and his agent for getting him into such a mess. Every time he had to kiss her, touch her, fictionally made love to her, Harrison was regretting having that part. He was also regretting to never have had the guts to made a move on her. He laughed at himself for respecting those absurd codes Tom didn’t.
“Okay, so I really like Y/N” a young boy once said to his best mate.
“Aye mate, she’s fit. But we both fancy her, so I guess none of us is getting it”.
They were 16. Y/N was already world-wide famous and way out of their league. Even tho, she not just noticed them, she made them part of her life. It has been like that for the past 14 years. The three of them. But now Tom wanted something different, and deep inside him, Harrison wanted it too.
***
“Wow, so much chemistry! Tell me some of this is reflected on the big screen!”.
“Sure. I mean, when you have to play a role like ours, where you need to recreate such a special and tight bond, I think the best thing that could ever happen is to do it with someone you already have something special. For me, to be in this movie with my best friend is amazing, a wonderful experience”. Y/N was nervous but she could handle this scenario as a true professional. Harrison proudly nodded at every single word of her little speech.
“Guys, seriously, look at you, this can’t be just a friendship”
-”Actually, we’re not just friends. We’re family. But let me stop you there before you keep addressing dating rumours, Y/N’s taken”. Harrison smiled all the time, knowing exactly what he was doing.
Trembling, Y/N had to reset her mind quickly, for the reporter would be avid to know who was the lucky one. “Y-Yeah, I… I’m in a relationship” was all she could say.
“Wow, that’s a scoop! Y/N finally got herself a sweetheart” the young woman let out a small giggle, followed by Harrison, who kept a hand pressed on the small of Y/N’s back, making sure she wouldn’t run away.
“Yes, she’s dating our friend Tom. For half a year now, actually”. It’s over now, you fucking moron, Harrison was enjoying to finish Tom’s charade.
“Tom frigging Holland!?” Wow wow wow, so all this time we’ve been playing the fools thinking you were dating the wrong friend! This is the hottest reveal of the year!” it was too much to process for the young journalist, she was expecting to make just a cute interview to this Hollywood sweethearts and found something way better. It was way harder to process to Y/N, who felt like she was about to faint.
“We wanted to take it slow, you know, because we’ve been friends for so long. Thankfully we have all of our friends support, especially yours” she faced Harrison. Y/N Y/L/N  wouldn't let anyone humiliate her, not even Harrison. He nodded in response, a satisfactory grin on his face, unknowingly she was having the reaction he expected from her. It wasn't Haz intention to bother Y/N. Thomas was the target of this little number he was giving to the press.
“So where's Tom tonight? His girlfriend and best friend are premiering a movie that it's said gonna be a complete success” those words echoed in Y/N’s ears. She didn't know where he was exactly. He told her about a super secret Marvel project, but he had always shared Marvel secrets with her.
“Oh he couldn’t make it tonight, he’s working and he was terribly sorry this afternoon when we talked but it’s alright. It’s part of our jobs”. Y/N stated, she was dealing with the interview as well as she could but wanted it to end as soon as possible.
“Yeah it’s a real shame, we love Tom, it would be nice to have him with us tonight” Harrison finished the interview with those words. Y/N’s mom was in the nine cloud. The news of Y/N and Tom’s romance were on every social media. That was something good because everyone was talking about her and all press is good press, although, Ursula was a little bit pissed because she wasn’t in control of it. The publicists freaked out, they started to receive hundreds of offers and every media wanted an exclusive interview with the new Hollywood power couple. Anna Wintour herself texted Ursula to offer Y/N the iconic September issue of Vogue. Harrison gave her an early Christmas present. She barely noticed her daughter was about to have a breakdown. Harrison realized he acted blinded by the ressentiment growing between him and Tom “What have I done?” he asked himself, deeply sorry about ruining his friend’s special night.
“I’m sorry” he murmured before the movie started playing, and held her hand the entire time.
“I’m not ready to hear you’re sorry” she responded. And it was the last words he heard from her for the rest of the night.
***
“Two weeks. Only two weeks and he couldn’t keep it in his pants”
Y/N wasn’t listening. She didn’t care her mom’s reaction. She didn’t care about every fucking site posting those pictures. She didn’t care about her fanbase talking about how Harrison would have never done that to her. Because Harrison did. If he wouldn’t open his mouth in the premiere’s night, the humiliation wouldn’t be public, and it would have made it a lot more bearable.
She took her keys and texted her security detail. She was not going to stay one more second with Ursula ranting about how Tom ruined everything for them and how she ruined her career. It was just her boyfriend cheating. She was not found guilty of a child’s murder or something like that. She was just another girl who had fallen on his web. Pun not intended.
The ride to Harrison’s place was quiet. She found a couple of minutes of peace. Brandon, her bodyguard was explaining her a strategy he diagramed to avoid paparazzi once they arrive. She couldn’t pay attention to him, no matter how much she tried. Her mind was all over those pictures of Tom kissing and hugging a mysterious girl in Hawaii, while he supposedly should be reshooting some scenes in Marvel’s studios in Atlanta.
“We’re here Y/N. Did you get our plan?”
She didn’t reply. As soon as she put a foot outside the car paps were all over her. She looked down and made her way to the building. Lucky she had a key.
Harrison heard the knock at the door. He hasn’t talked to her but he was waiting for Y/N anyways. The blond man took a deep breath before opening his front door, preparing himself to deal with a broken Y/N.
-”You bloody moron, you did. You ruined my life, you ruined my life” she punched him as many times as she could before collapsing into his arms. He held her tightly, scratching her scalp while rubbing her back and whispering that he was sorry and that everything was going to be alright.
-”Why did you tell everyone we were dating? If you didn’t I would not be so exposed now, I wouldn’t have to stand my mother blaming me for all this. I would not be the poor idiot in front of everyone” Y/N recriminated to Harrison between sobs and screams. She continued beating him and he was still having her in a hug.
They remained in silence for a couple of minutes until she stopped shaken, calmed down by the sound of his heartbeats. She started caressing Harrison’s arms with the gem of her fingers. Softly, up and down tracing patterns on her friend’s skin. He didn’t let go of her, now rounding her delicate form with his arms, resting his crossed hands on the small of her back.
She found peace for a moment. The peace she was looking for in the car trip. The peace she needed when she picked up her keys and left her mom talking on her own. Is him she thought. He is my peaceful place.
Y/N placed a timid, almost imperceptible kiss on his collarbone. Then her lips started their way to the sweet spot on his neck. Haz titled his dead a bit, succumbing to temptation. How many times he daydreamed with this moment.
“Y/N no, please stop,” Harrison said, do not believing the words slipping from his lips. “You don’t want this and neither I” he added while gently pushed her to separate their bodies.
Y/N insisted, kisses were gaining in eagerness, getting sloppier and wetter. Her lips traveled from his neck to his earlobe, to bite it softly and murmur sweet nothings into his ear.
Harrison woke up from his trance before it was too late when a door slammed behind them.
“Listen to me kid. You better go back from where you came”. Y/N didn’t recognize the young brunette who came out from Harrison’s bedroom wearing nothing but one of his t-shirts and boxers. “You had your shot and you choose the cheating bastard”. Harrison gulped at the sight of Maria, leaving their now shared bedroom to claim him for herself.
-”Who the fuck are you?” Y/N said, trying to compose herself from the rollercoaster of emotions running through her body and mind.
-”I’m the one who’s gonna kick you out, darling. You’ve hurt this man enough. C’mon. Get out” Maria stated, now resting her back on the doorframe, looking and feeling cooler and more badass than ever.
Ashamed by her actions, with her mind and spirit blurred, Y/N ran away from the apartment.
-”Well, you need new friends now I guess”. Maria said a little bit discouraged, resting her palm on Haz’s shoulder while his gaze was glued to the door Y/N let open.
-”At least I have you” Harrison whispered, before lifting her up and take her back to the bedroom between giggles and kisses.
