    Summary

    “It looks like the night’s sky, Buck,” John says. “If you keep moving around, it won’t heal any good.”

    Gale presses into the bruise, biting off a hiss. He thinks that John should break his remaining ribs, too. Let them all heal warped and wrong; let his body be found with the memory of John written into his bones.

    “It’ll be yellow by morning,” he says. “Just leave it be.”

    Summary

    There were darker, worse thoughts fighting their way to the front. Baseball is what kept them away. Buck is what kept them away. He swallowed hard and pushed back against that compelling urge to just flee. Flee from the camp, from Buck, from all those things chasing him around in his brain that he couldn’t do anything about.

    Summary

    “You gotta say, Bucky. When it gets bad.”

    Bucky’s eyes, mostly-closed and stone heavy, flick dully to Gale. It looks like he’s nearly asleep. With his voice far away, he says, “Sure thing, Buck.”

    Bucky comes down with something in the Stalag. Gale reckons with his own limitations while trying to help.

    Summary

    Just a sliver of Buck’s smile. Small, a twitch of a thing. Like no one’s meant to see it.

    It has the curious effect of not making John feel any less insane. “Hey,” he says. “Lemme get your back.”

    Gale stops scraping gunk out from under his fingernails and stares at him outright. Bucky wonders if he asked what he asked just to get this reaction.

    John and Gale wash up post-fight.
