Summary
“So you’re Buck and he’s Bucky?”
“Right you are!” Bucky gloats, eyes alight with mirth. “Been that way since the very beginning!”
“That’s what he’d like you to think.” He snorts, kicking John under the table, catching the toe of his boot.
Much as John would like to cite it as such, that’s not really the truth.
No, Gale “Buck” Cleven hadn’t always gotten along with one John “Bucky” Egan. Not like he does now, not even remotely. These days, you’re more likely to find them together than not, but back at the very beginning, it wasn’t like that at all.
(All the things that flying too close to the sun entails)

Summary

After Curt Buddick’s death, Gale must decide whether to keep occupying the seat John always leaves open for him. John’s promises—London, poetry, even survival—are wagers staked on Gale alone. And Gale has to choose whether to keep playing.

Summary
Gale had always been spoken for, and John didn’t necessarily mean by Marge, though she had always been there, in the background, a living specter. Gale was a daddy’s boy. Or had desperately wanted to be one. John had had his suspicions but it was that night under the bombs that John could pretend were fireworks as long as Gale kept looking at them like they were, when Gale finally admitted it. Not in so many words of course, he never would. But it was the longing in his voice that gave him away, John couldn’t miss it.
