Summary : Written for primeval100 challenge 773, Ghosts From the Past

Lester had long since stopped worrying about the shadows.

He knew they meant no harm.

Ryan’s insubstantial but still somehow solid presence conveyed a silent warning if there were problems within the military team. He’d been slow to warm to the new captain but there was grudging respect now.

Stephen was a quiet reminder that a good manager should resolve conflict within the team, not let it fester.

Nick Cutter kept him honest. Stopped him from taking action that compromised the present or the future.

And together they combined to keep Helen at bay.

Lester was grateful for the shadows.

There is a primeval_denial comm here - that could be used in conjunction with the Discord for managing challenges. AO3 also has quite a lot of support for challenges, though I think it would be difficult to run a Giftbox style challenge through it - though you could have a collection for the challenge for people to post fic into - then you just open up the whole collection on the reveal date, rather than people having to individually remember to unhide their posts.
