Summary from fic:
[When Helix had first found out about Melidaan, a lot of his General's habits slotted neatly into place. Like a broken bone that healed wrong, he'd called it. All he could do was try and mitigate the damage.

(And if he'd wished, sometimes, that he could have been there earlier, so he could have done something, so he could have helped, well-)
