To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This by AppalachianApologies for pidgeode

Summary
Hawkeye has been wildly in love with the man named BJ Hunnicutt for three years. Three years of fitting perfectly together, three years of bliss, three years of everything he could have ever imagined. Life had been perfect until two weeks ago, when Hawkeye learned that BJ Hunnicutt doesn't actually exist and he'd been living with a partner built up on lies upon lies.
So really, it's just icing on the cake when said partner tracks him down to his childhood home in the middle of a rainstorm, begging for one more chance to hear him out, thirty six stupid questions printed out and clutched in his hands.
Or,
A 36 Questions AU (with a happy ending) that requires no knowledge of 36 Questions.

Summary
San Francisco is smoggy, overcrowded, and full of some of the wildest people Hawkeye has ever met. The fact that BJ Hunnicutt lives there is nothing but a coincidence spun into a blessing in disguise.
Or,
Draft cards are being sent out like candy to young men, the Detroit Riot is being printed in every newspaper coastline to coastline, unrest between the US and Soviet Union is growing by the minute, and there's absolutely nothing that can be done about any of it. Regardless, Hawkeye finds himself in one of the many large demonstrations in San Francisco when police storm in to break it up. He never meant it to be a tipping point in his life.

Summary
They're out of options, and Nolan knows that if their smuggling hypothesis is true, there's only once place left where it could be hidden. He's got no choice.
He's already had to stitch himself up once, so surely, this can't that much worse.
The big difference? He's not alone this time, and Hana isn't quite as convinced as he is.

Despite the fact that it seems real, that everything makes sense at first glance, that Mac’s body is exactly as screwed up as it should be, Mac doesn’t buy it. Call it suspicion, call it a healthy dose of skepticism, call it trust issues with the universe- Mac doesn’t care. He’s not about to fall for this again.

Summary
After years of being on the run and keeping his head down, Mac finally receives the opportunity to end this screwed up game of hide-and-seek for good. With the help of two unlikely friends, some unconventional skill sets, and plenty of all-nighters, Mac attempts to track down his father before James gets to him first.
It's been six months since an ordinary mission turned to hell, leaving its permanent marks on Jack Dalton—both physically and emotionally. But when information about a wild kid he came across four months ago gets dropped into his lap, he has to push it all down in order to find not just the kid, but the truth behind him as well.
