    Summary

    Those are the times Gale feels like a younger sibling. Other times, he— doesn't, and there really isn’t any one word or phrase that encapsulates how he feels then.

    Technically he's known John for almost his entire life. Hard not to put someone like that on a pedestal.

     

    -- Gale has nowhere to go, except maybe his ex-best friend's older brother's place

    Summary

    Gale Cleven’s case of the flu should have been nothing more than a miserable few days in the infirmary. The last thing anyone expected was for their calm, cool, and collected Major to have a violent reaction to something as simple as a needle.

    As Gale becomes delirious with fever, the truth is laid bare for all to see - Gale was tortured by the Nazi’s before making it to Stalag Luft III. How will Gale react to Bucky bearing witness to a part of Gale’s war that he was never meant to see?

    Summary

    When Gale smashes a backhand, and Egan lunges for it, but the quick bounce spins it just past his racket, he stumbles, catches himself on his hands with his racket clattering against the hard court, and he starts laughing, wet and winded—laughing still as he straightens up, cheeks reddened, glistening under the sun. He scrubs the back of his wrist, his black sweatband, over his forehead.

    “See? You love it when I make your dad mad.”

    “Egan,” Gale warns, but all the authority is lost in his panting. Egan wipes his forehead again, racket tapping his thigh.

    “Missed playing with you, Buck.”

    “We played two weeks ago, in Cincinnati. C’mon, still your serve.”

    ---

    Gale meets John Egan at a Challenger in Bordeaux when they're both 19 years old. After that, he can't seem to shake him. But what's more is, despite what his dad says about Gale's game, and what the commentators say about their rivalry, and what he's been told about tennis his whole life, Gale doesn't think he wants to.

    Summary

    “See you back here then?”

    Buck had just smiled, that damned half smile he always gave John. Smiled and tilted his head. “Don’t count on it.” He’d pat John on the shoulder and walked off to his plane.

    John scoffs and shakes his head. He had counted on it. In fact, he always did.

    OR: Gale coming back injured from a mission forces John and Gale to start thinking about what they actually mean to each other.
    Lots of angst, lots of whump and lots of hurt/comfort. Lots of yearning, and LOTS OF LOVE.
