The title includes the word 'wound'. This seems relevant to my interests.

The summary also seems relevant to my interest.

Disoriented confused sleepiness! This seems to be a trend in Santa fics right now, and coincidentally also highly relevant to my interests.

Wait, wait, so a previous attempt included melting lungs? What is happening? Spy stuff? An operation? Mark being his usual self and caring, trying to save Eduardo's life (presumably; it's also possible he is merely trying to preserve his lungs, I'm assuming the two are related though), and being all silent and no-nonsense and walking out on Eduardo to do so instead of wasting time on frills or reassurances.

Oh my God, Eduardo, those are too many scars! You need someone to look after you, since you obviously fail at it!

Ah, okay, good. Mark agrees with me. He's got it. ('Assigned to him'. Handler? Backup? Tech support? Curly-haired guardian angel with a bad bedside manner but an impressive track record?)

The messages self-destruct once they’ve been read, and no matter how

Eduardo has a room in Mark's house. Eduardo has a place with Mark's family. This is tugging at my heartstrings and playing them like a fiddle. Mark brought Eduardo home, into his private space, because he wanted Eduardo in it, a part of it, because Eduardo is not just job, he is Eduardo and home and safe, and Mark wants him to have a place to feel at home and safe himself
