    Summary

    Gene knows he’s not right, knows he should not enjoy grasping other men’s ankles and wrists and chins in his hands as much as he does, should not admire the look of broad shoulders and thick thighs in green uniforms, so he clamps down tightly on all his urges and prays.
    OR
    Medics need to keep their distance, and Gene does, until he can't.
    Half character study, half love story, with a lot of religious guilt and prayer.

    Summary

    Ralph Spina watches the line. (He also watches Babe and Roe).

    He slides into the foxhole and only then notices that Roe and Babe are linked at the mouth. Babe’s hands fly away from Roe’s face as he says, “Spina! It’s not-”

    It is what it looks like, Ralph thinks. He isn’t shocked.
     
    “I can watch the line for you,” Ralph says, “if you want.”

    Summary

    And then soft, so soft Ellie barely hears from all the way over on her staircase, ear angled down towards the slats in the railing, breath held while awaiting a reply. She needs the truth, too. She deserves the truth. After all of this. The blood on her hands, on her face, on her memories. She gets to know why. Why after all this shit, none of it was even worth it.

    What Ellie once believed to be heavy, uneven breathing, she comes to realize, is quiet, fractured sobbing. “I can’t lose her,” he confesses, an omission to what Ellie already knew from the second she woke up in the back of that car, woozy and light and empty. Bare legs, cold and exposed in a hospital gown. The whole car reeked of human blood and sweat, while her skin was the cleanest, the purest, it had been in months.

    “I couldn’t let ‘em take her, Tommy.”

    It’s all the answer she needs.

    ------

    Through the seasons of Joel and Ellie's first year in Jackson. How the anger she feels at his betrayal wedges its way between them and how they find their way back together regardless.
