Summary
For all intents and purposes, Gus died in the operation Aquatint. The war raged on, and the men he left behind did their best to live and fight on.
But now the war is over, and Gus is back. The past, however, cannot be rewritten, and the broken remnants of his team cannot be put back together. Or can they?

Summary
“Not you again,” Gus said when the annoyingly familiar silhouette appeared in the door to the cellar.
Appleyard glared at him, and fell down the stairs.Gus and Apple meet at Dunkirk. It's not really in a foxhole, and it's not quite for the first time.
Dunkirk and London and Cairo, and it seems they are stuck there - perhaps quite literally.

It's a Long Long Way (To Dunkirk) by BonnieLassie

Summary
We spent two weeks together in a Dunkirk foxhole, and if it wasn't for Apple, I'd still be there today.
Its the spring of 1940, the Nazis are steamrolling France, and Gus meets Apple during the chaotic retreat to Dunkirk.
A tale of two men, their truck, and a lot of dead Nazis. Or, friendships (and more) are best formed under pressure.Bookmarked by BetterMetal

You're a Wildfire, Darling, Swallowing Me Whole by Spoodlemonkey

Summary
“Dunno if I believe in all of that one person made for you nonsense, chap.”
“What do you believe in, then, Freddy?”
“Hard work, I reckon,” he muses. “None of this ‘love at first sight’ nonsense. Interest. Attraction, sure,” he glances at Anders. “But I think love needs to be nourished, worked on, fought for if it is ever to take hold the way the old stories paint it, yeah?”
“For you, Freddy,” Anders murmurs, eyes twinkling. “I would toil away the rest of my life under the scorching sun in the most barren desert just for the gift of your kiss.”
Freddy’s lips twitch like he desperately wants to give in to the smile hidden there, the one that Anders can see clear as a bright sunny day back home.Bookmarked by BetterMetal

Summary
March had his palm read once, years back, by a hack psychic in a gaudy tent at some old timey carnival Holly had begged to go to. She'd taken one look at his craggy hands – two fingers bandaged at the time - and told him, in no uncertain terms, that if he didn't slow down, boy, he was gonna hurt himself. He tipped her very badly.
Suffice to say, he did not often have the appearance of a man in control of his own destiny.

Summary
drunktuesdays: Let's taunt ourselves with fic that we will never write.
Stiles is sitting in English class when the thought first occurs to him. They’ve been talking about the ending of Jane Eyre, and Rochester’s fate, and the concept of disability as punishment, and his mind jumps to Derek ordering him to cut off his arm, and he wonders idly whether the arm would have grown back or, more likely, just healed over the stump immediately, and huh, he thinks with a sudden thrill, huh, there’s no way Derek Hale is circumcised.

"You know you're allowed to ask for vanilla sex, right?" he says, afterwards. "We can do whatever you want. That's kind of the point."

Summary
He swoons against Cas, who jostles him off with an exaggerated eyeroll, but Dean just commits to the joke even more and winds up with his head in Cas’ lap. “This makes it very difficult to garden,” Cas says seriously, but the softness of Dean’s face likewise softens his voice, and he knows Dean doesn’t believe him. Not a single part of him could bear to give this up.
Not yet, thinks Cas. Not yet.
or: post-empty, cas creates problems on purpose.

Summary
Charlie sets her beer down hard on the counter, making him flinch. “Are you trying to invent a problem?” she asks incredulously.
“What? No, dude, I’m telling you—”
“Your boyfriend turned down sex twice, once because you were concussed and your arm was broken, and once because he was about to drive out of state to help your brother,” Charlie summarises, brutal and unrelenting. “And you think that, what? You can never ask him for sex again because of that?”
Dean’s been playing catch-up his entire life, and he’s still figuring out the whole “asking for what I want” thing.

Summary
Admitting it won’t make Dean any more inconsolable than he already is, and he’ll never feel Cas’ absence any more or any less acutely than he does in this exact moment. “He’s gone,” Dean finally admits, because it seems like the only thing left to say.
When the terrible, swollen vacancy of the room offers no recourse, Sam says, “I know.”

Summary
Brittle and battle-worn, Cas looks at him over coffee one morning and says, "I need to go," and Dean instantly knows that he's not coming back.
He's not really sure how he knows it, but he does. It settles into the pit of his stomach, curling hot and tight like something he instinctively wants to tear out with his bare hands. He takes a breath, and it gets stuck in his throat, hitching there. It hurts, hurts, hurts when he finally exhales.
"Yeah," Dean says, "of course you do," and he nods jerkily as he looks down at his phone. He doesn't say goodbye. He doesn't look up from the screen when Cas gets up and leaves the room. He doesn't finish his coffee, or move for a long time.
By nightfall, Cas is gone.
