    Summary

    That summer carries on the way that summers always do—slow and hot, with all the windows open. Rather nice, all things considered, except that Bucky’s taken a shine to destroying the whole house room by room.

    Summary

    John pounds his fist against the mat and somebody somewhere whistles. For a gnawing, long second, Buck doesn’t release him. John thinks he means to actually dislocate his shoulder. His eyes roll and he pants and laughs against the mat, feels it pressing in his mouth.

    “Do it,” John snarls, “and I’ll fuckin’ kill you.”

    Summary

    Gale lets him because there is a world, somewhere in the infinite sprawl of the universe, where tomorrow comes with a breakfast in bed, with no rush, with open-mouthed kisses on their way to some house from some work.

    Where John, who has found his home now—just a stray animal running along the roadside howling at passing cars and the stretch of the sky above, the stars that never answer—can keep it.

    Summary

    "He still married?"

    "He's married," John says after a pause. "Yeah, he's married, you could say that."

    Clearly there's something Harry is missing. He's shrewd enough to pick up on that, but not much else. The foil label on his beer bottle peels away easily when he scratches at it, considering whether or not to delve further.
