    Summary

    So, these days when John baits him, it’s mostly knowing that Buck would never give in. It’s fascinating to watch each time it happens though and John can’t get enough of it. The way his tempting words slide right off Buck where with everyone else, they would have sunk their hooks in. The immediate, careless, tempered, “No,” that crawls out of Buck’s throat in that raspy drawl.

    Perhaps, John hadn’t been told ‘no’ enough in his life and he’s catching up with it now, collecting each one from Buck’s lips to make up for the hundred times that no one was there to tell him as much in his youth. It drives him crazy that no matter how outrageous or how tame the suggestion is, the answer from Buck would always be no. So he keeps asking.

    Summary

    No matter where in the world you found yourself stationed, Navy bars were all the same. It was a comfort really, a nice bit of stability in a life defined by chaos.

    It starts in a Navy bar, and then another one, and another one. A one night stand, to half a relationship, to exes, to maybe something again.

    Another history of Rooster and Hangman.

    Summary

    Summary

    Phoenix pinches the bridge of her nose. “One night. One night without whatever all this is. My kingdom for one night.”

    “There’s no all this!” Rooster protests. Like a liar.

    Hangman takes his arm back, slides off his chair and goes back to the dart board. Rooster tries not to feel cold.

    “Of course not, Rooster,” Hangman says, just short of condescendingly. “I could never bring a yankee home, and I respect you too much to hit it and quit it.”

    Or

    5 times Rooster didn’t tell Hangman where he was from + 1 time he did
