Tough And Sweet (Like You And Me) by johnslittlespoon (quickcatton)
Fandoms: Masters of the Air (TV 2024)

Summary
The glow that’s cast over John's book dims, a shadow blanketing the pages, and two hands come into view, bracing on the edge of the table, rings clicking against the wood.
“You lost?”
John looks up and meets steely blue eyes with his own wide ones. Broad arms flex where the man leans against the table, and tobacco and sweet–cedar cologne fill his nose and lungs when he inhales, hitting him like a fist to the face, making his head spin. The stranger seems to consider him for a moment, and John’s cheeks grow warm.
— Or: College student John Egan ends up in an old pub on the other side of his small town, where he has a chance encounter with biker and mechanic Gale Cleven. His life is forever changed.

Summary
John leans his head against the back of the couch, the TV flickering in the background, forgotten in favour of watching Gale move around the kitchen. There’s always a quiet kind of magic in these moments, just watching Gale exist like this — completely unguarded, completely his — and he can’t imagine ever taking it for granted.

Would You Mind? by johnslittlespoon (quickcatton), NiciJones

Summary
Ken can barely wrap his head around it. He doesn’t have any illusions about this being an exclusive arrangement. After all, most nights that Ken works on the planes, Bucky is out at the pub.
Still, there’s something else going on. Sometimes, Bucky storms in, desperate and clearly somewhere else with his thoughts. He kisses Ken then like he could save him from whatever cliff he’s wandering along. Or perhaps, like he’s really kissing someone else.
OR Ken and Bucky find respite in each other. Sticky dynamics notwithstanding.

He Calls Me Bunny by johnslittlespoon (quickcatton)

Summary
“Didn’t think you’d actually go through with the costume, though," Gale says, his eyes flicking to the bunny ears perched on John’s head.
“Yeah, well,” John glances away, then back again, staring unabashedly at Gale’s arms before meeting his eyes. “Didn’t think you’d show up looking like you’re about to close a business deal. Where’s your costume?”
Gale shrugs, moving closer, casually sliding an arm behind John. The warmth of his palm against his back is enough to cut through the noise and mess of colours and lights, and John blinks slowly when Gale’s pretty lips curve up into a smile. “Thought I could just wear you instead.”

Only You Can Cool My Desire by johnslittlespoon (quickcatton)

Summary
“Gale,” John gets out, wriggling where he’s trapped beneath Gale’s arms. “I’m cooled down, please, can you–”
His plea breaks off into a curse when Gale lets the ice cube in his palm slide onto John’s stomach, watching as it settles in the dip of his belly button, John’s skin so fever–hot that Gale can immediately see the smallest pool of water beginning to form.
“You’ve been whining about being hot all week,” Gale says, pressing his lips to John’s thigh, feeling the muscle twitch at his touch. “I’m just helpin’ you out.”

Wrapped Around Your Finger (You Say That I'm A Home Run) by johnslittlespoon (quickcatton) for c_goldthorn

15 Aug 2024
Tags
Summary
“Stay still,” Gale murmurs, gripping his jaw tighter, and a quiet whine climbs up John’s throat, feeling the dabs of the cotton pause for just a moment before Gale continues on.
The bruising ache, the firm hand on his face, the close proximity, Gale’s flat commands– it’s all making his skin itch, heat rising to the surface as his mouth goes a little dry. He instinctively closes his legs around Gale’s sides to stop him from getting close enough when he moves in to observe the deeper split above his brow, and Gale pulls back, levelling him with an irritated stare.

You're A Dog (I'm Your Man) by johnslittlespoon (quickcatton)
Fandoms: Masters of the Air (TV 2024)
11 Jul 2024
Tags
Summary
“You and me, Bucky,” Gale reminds him quietly. John presses a little bit closer, leaning against his side, taking a breath in like he’d been holding it the whole time Gale had been gone. He repeats his own words in his head like a prayer, trying to convince himself as much as John, wanting so badly to believe it.
Sometimes, when it’s just the two of them and it’s quiet and his heart has calmed, he thinks he does.

Summary
“You can barely keep your eyes open, baby,” Gale coos, on the verge of teasing, and a whimper slips out before Curt can stop it.
“Just one more,” he breathes out, eyelashes fluttering as he rolls his hips. "Please."

Summary
The day Gale sees John through that barbed chain link fence is the best day of his life.
It’s also the first time he’s really, truly cried in a long time.

Breathe Me In (Exhale Slow) by johnslittlespoon (quickcatton)
Fandoms: Masters of the Air (TV 2024)
24 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
Gale’s boot taps restlessly, knees bent to half–hunch over them, only his lower back leaning against the wall of the plane. He picks at the skin of baby–soft lips, staring out to the edge of the wing with glazed over eyes, and John’s heart twists.
He can think of a hundred and one ways to distract him, but not a single word of reassurance. He’s not good at that sort of thing; that’s Gale’s area of expertise. He feels useless.
“Here,” he murmurs, holding out his cigarette.

Summary
“John,” Gale reprimands, removing John's hand more forcefully this time, opening his eyes.
“‘s cold,” John’s eyes are still closed when he mumbles his reply, and he can feel the tendons in his wrist twitch where he’s holding it against the mattress. Gale scoffs.
“Don’t care. Keep your hands to yourself.”

You Put Your Arms Around Me (And I'm Home) by johnslittlespoon (quickcatton)
Fandoms: Masters of the Air (TV 2024)
06 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
Something is pushing at Gale's arm, and he huffs, rolling onto his stomach and tucking his limbs in closer to his body. But the nudging is persistent, dragging him fully from the comfort of sleep, and he almost jumps out of his skin when he squints into the dark, not expecting to be greeted by another set of eyes looking back at him.

Summary
“There, there, Ollie,” Felix teases. “You’ll have your first kiss someday.”
“There’s no rush,” Oliver mumbles absentmindedly, not meeting his eyes, and Felix feels his world stop turning.
“What?”

I See You In The Daytime (I Hear You At Night) by johnslittlespoon (quickcatton)

Summary
The rain pours and his vision swims and his voice grows hoarse as he screams and screams at the night sky until no more sound comes out.
In the morning he will put on a brave face and joke with the others and keep spirits up like he’s supposed to. But the night time is his own.

Summary
“You’re just jealous,” Felix says playfully. Farleigh cocks his head to the side, a cool smile making its way onto his face.
“Jealous of what? That he won’t kiss you despite you giving him fuck–me eyes all semester?” The words roll off his tongue with ease.
Or: 5 times Felix kisses Oliver, and 1 time Oliver kisses Felix.

Summary
“These are pretty.”
Felix looked up and just about burst into flames on the spot.
“Oh my god, that’s not– I don’t– Those aren’t mine.”
They were very much his.

Summary
“Shit, I forgot my sunnies,” Oliver realizes the moment they get comfortable on their towels. He moves to stand up, but Felix’s hand appears in his periphery.
“You always do,” he says fondly as he holds out a pair of shades. “I brought a spare for you.”
Oliver takes them with a smile, relaxing back onto the towel and putting them on.
“Ah, good boy,” he jokes lightly, patting Felix’s arm in thanks as if he were a dog bringing him the morning paper. He senses him tense up, and he turns his head questioningly, but Felix just rolls over onto his stomach, burying his face into his folded arms.
Weird.

Let's Look Up At The Stars (I Like You Where You Are) by quickcatton
Fandoms: Saltburn (2023)

Summary
“What, d’you have a midnight kiss you need to get back to?” Felix teases, nudging his shoe against Oliver’s. Oliver shakes his head, exhaling a cloud of white and fogging up his glasses, shoving his hands in his coat pockets. Felix is starting to look cold too, now, but it seems like he has more to say, so Oliver waits patiently. Patient is easy, it means he doesn’t have to talk; he can do patient.
