    Summary

    “So listen,” Robby says, “I heard you’ve uh, well, that you’re living with Dr. King. Is there any truth to that statement?”

    Frank groans.

    “Yeah, yes, I’m living with her,” he says and Robby gets that crazy look in his eyes so Frank barrels on, “It’s not like that. Robby it’s not,” and Robby doesn’t look like he believes him one bit. “I’m living in her spare room and I pay her rent. We’re roommates. That’s not a crime.”

    or: frank gets out of rehab, gets divorced, and needs somewhere to live. enter mel.

    Summary

    John watched him work for a while, watched the way the dirt fell off his boot, satisfying-like, onto the steps below. Slender fingers worked the brush back and forth, a constant rhythm. Bucky would have quite liked to shut his eyes and listened to the sound, felt the way Gale’s body shifted with each stroke. He could pretend they were somewhere else – the porch of their own house, a summer day, their dog running around the front yard. He’d tip his head onto Gale’s shoulder, and the blonde would put his arm around him, and nothing would ever haunt them again. Not the war, not the memories, not themselves.

    -

    The one where Gale obsesses over cleanliness in the Stalag camp and Bucky does his best to understand.

    Summary

    He takes the final step, lifts the lantern to flood the empty station with light, and sees a man laying on his stable floor.
    He’s brunette, sweating, breathing unsteadily. There’s blood wiped messily on his forehead, down his neck. Half laying, half sitting up against the stack of haybales Buck keeps at the bottom of this station, he’s got one bloody hand pressed to his right thigh, which is caked with crimson. His other hand rests wearily on the Colt that’s tucked into the waistband of his pants.
    Gale’s heart jumps, he wishes suddenly that he really did have a rifle, but when the man sees that Buck’s unarmed he raises the hand slowly, in a shaky surrender.
    -
    “You got a name?” Buck asks, in an attempt to distract.
    The stranger swallows and takes a deep breath. “Bucky.”
    Buck almost pauses in his work. He scoffs and shakes his head. “I’ll be damned.”
    “Why’s that?”
    “People call me Buck.”
    Bucky huffs out a pained laugh, which quickly devolves into a groan. When he’s finished, he says, “Goddamn fate.”

    -

    The one where stablehand Gale finds outlaw John “Bucky” Egan bleeding out in his stables.

    (The sequel, seven miles out of freedom town, has been posted.)

    Summary

    It was a story they’d told each other often, over too much kvas. A running joke between them, what they would do if they ever decided to leave it all behind.

    She’d never dreamed they actually would.

    Inej, and Kaz, and what comes after.
