"'Kay," Ian says. "You need me to tell Linda? Or—"
"Nah. She knows. I'm—" Mickey huffs and chews at his lip. "You wanna come?"

Summary
Tashi and Art together just doesn’t make any sense to him. Every time he tries to imagine them together -- and he spends an embarrassing amount of time imagining them together, often late at night when he wants to make himself feel brilliant or terrible -- it just doesn’t compute.
(20 years, before and after. or, Patrick never stops thinking about them - not in 2006, not in 2019, not in 2026.)

Summary
The first letter Gale gets from Bucky is about a unicorn.
-----
Gale’s used to John rambling when he’s drunk, usually while hanging off one arm hooked around Gale’s shoulders, but there’s a different note to his written word. When he’s drunk in person, he likes to pester Gale with questions, get Gale to talk about himself. When it’s just John and a pen, it seems he simply shares every little thought that crosses his mind.
He lets the letter close on its own again, staring down at his eggs until he hears “Good morning, Major!” from outside the mess hall. Hurriedly, Gale tucks the letter back into its envelope and the envelope into the pocket of his trousers. By the time the doors swing open, John sauntering in like he owns the base and the mess and the doors themselves, Gale’s sure all knowledge of John’s words—of that lipstick print pressed onto paper beside John’s name—has been wiped from his face.
All the same, he can’t resist taking a peek. John’s walking on air. Gale smiles.

Summary
"They had a strained conversation after mail call, all those months ago, walking slowly across the barren, muddy ground, and John wouldn’t look at him when he told him he was afraid that people would only ever know the person he was becoming.
Gale could see it hanging over him, then: the spectre of the person John thought so diminished and so unworthy of being known. The person he was so afraid of becoming. And Gale thought, back then ‘what kind of person would not want to know every aspect of him? What kind of person would not love every version of this man?’"
...
Or: Gale, through it all.

Summary
“What are you doing here, Buck?” John asked, pulling his hand away.
“Came to see a friend,” Gale said, putting a toothpick in his mouth. “Haven’t seen you in six months. Been three months since I last heard from you. Wrote you a few letters. Called a couple of times. You’re a hard man to reach.”

Summary
“Still no better singer than I am a dancer.”
“I’m tryin’ to teach you,” John says.
All humour dies in Gale’s throat as John begins to move. He changes position, tucking one arm beneath Gale’s neck, and with his other hand he pulls him closer by his waist. With John’s thigh still between his, Gale can feel the contours of his hips against his own. The thin layers of cotton pyjamas separating them are not enough.
“Then just sway a bit. Like this.”

Summary
"There’s no limit to what John Egan can take. John Egan can take a shovel to the head. He can take a German cigarette. He can take a plane getting shot to hell, plummeting to the ground. He can take Air Exec as long as he can shove it up Hap Arnold’s ass. He can take the loneliness and the jealousy and the rage and the stupid fucking war and these stupid fucking Nazis and the goddamn cold and the feeling he gets sometimes, the absolute certainty that hits him like a bullet every so often, that he’s already dead, and this is Purgatory.
He can take it all. He can take it when Buck says he won’t escape, won’t even think about it, because he wants to make it back to Marge alive — to hell with John, already dead and rotting in front of him. He can take that, too."
In which John Egan wants and wants and wants.

Summary
“Are you kidding?” Bucky shouts, as usual losing control over the volume of his voice and grin digging into his cheeks. “Buck here would make a gorgeous girl. Look at that face.” Bucky reaches out and squeezes his chin in his huge palm. Gale’s breath stutters in his chest as he holds Bucky’s fond gaze, their pupils blown wide. Sometimes Gale thinks he’s no better than his father except that the thing he ended up being addicted to had a pulse and a love for girls with big tits.
OR the sorority girls are not letting Bucky Egan in their vicinity after he breaks his last girlfriend's heart. He's horny and Gale's only too eager to help him out.

Summary
Gale settles into an uneasy truce with himself. So he’d enjoyed it, it was a one time thing and he had no one but himself to be frustrated with that he has to live with the memory of Bucky’s moans. It was his cross to bear and if there’s one thing that Gale Cleven is good at it’s suffering.
ADDITIONALLY after the events of the first part, Marge invites Gale to go to a party as moral support for her first girl crush. Things don't exactly go to plan - especially once Bucky starts flirting with said girl.

Summary
“Would you… would you have loved me at all, if it hadn’t been for the War?”
Aching silence billowed through the room like gas, filling every corner. Gaunt looked like Ellwood had just punched him right in the centre of his chest.
“So you’ve always been half-blind," he said.In the weeks and months after their arrival in Brazil, Ellwood wants to dream of the life he and Gaunt might have shared if the War had never come to them. Gaunt, as expected, resists.
(Depictions of violence are in the same vein as the novel)

“Horny, I know. From being a slut.”
“I’m not a slut,” Art gasps, but even without the distant sound of slick flesh on flesh in the background, he wouldn’t sound particularly convincing.

Summary
The first time it happens, Art doesn’t think anything of it. He’s fourteen and headless— or perhaps headfull, too stuck in his own skull and his own spine and the squeezing feeling of his skin to ponder much about the outside of it. Still, he’s young and stupid, and he looks at Patrick’s tongue as it unceremoniously licks a renegade splouch of mayo from the corner of his mouth, and he thinks, I want to kiss it. It is a deliberately vague term, castrating tongues from shit-eating smirks and perpetually amused smiles and wild curls that tickles Art’s jaw when they fight over the remote; splitting it from Patrick, from the meaningful.
or Art wants, wants, wants
