    Summary

    The days melt into weeks melt into months and, at this rate into years, and Babe's still stuck fighting this damned war.

    At least he has Gene - that's the one upside to all of this.

    Summary

    “When you got to a camp, you just immediately sought out the other gay guys, just for the reinforcement of knowing you were not alone.” -- Pvt. Ben Small, Army Air Corps.

     

    Four gay men arrive at Camp Toccoa in 1942, each thinking that they are alone. They're used to being alone and used to keeping secrets. But when Gene Roe, George Luz, Ed Tipper, and Chuck Grant meet, they realize that the war has shaken everything up, and together the four friends try to make it through the worst of the war--and the best.

    Summary

    Suddenly, and as clearly as if he read it in the histories in the Benning library, Ron envisions this strong, sad-faced man bleeding into grey French earth, and then gathered up, dead, by the enemy, bound for a mass grave. He wants to seize the sergeant’s hand and drag him away from Herbert Sobel’s company, make him impossible promises, swear on God that although he may die he will never be led foolishly and his life will not go to waste. Ron stands very still. He is a stranger to himself. He can’t remember ever wanting anything so much, except death.

    Summary

    “Just tell him. He’s sixteen, for Christ’s—”

    “Fourteen. And I’m not taking child-rearing advice from a sleazy spinster, thank you very much.”

    She just snorted at the insult, which was as familiar and good-natured as any of hers. “What does Dick think?”

    “We haven’t talked about it,” Lew said, the lie winning him a soft groan from his sister.

    “Well,” she said, and Lew could practically hear her roll her eyes, the gesture so familiar and similar to the way his own son mutely reminded him every day that he considered Lew an idiot that Lew almost gritted his teeth. “Roy’s his boy too, isn’t he?”

    Summary

    “What’s the quote?” Joe muses, ignoring him while taking a long drag. “‘Eat and be merry’?”

     

    “‘Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die’.”

     

    “How the fuck are you remembering quotes this wasted?” Joe shakes his head, crushing the butt of his spent cigarette beneath the heel of his jump boot.

     

    “Party trick,” he mumbles at the ceiling. Maybe if he doesn’t stare at Joe directly he won’t be so overwhelming.

     

    David and Joe on VE Day, 1945.

    Summary

    "David first spots him leaning nonchalantly against the red brick wall as he leaves his Elizabethan poetry class on a sunny Wednesday afternoon. It takes him a moment to react, possibly because he's never seen Joseph Liebgott in civilian clothes, or perhaps because at least in David's mind, he doesn't belong on the eerily well-kept Harvard lawns."

    Harvard, Spring of 1947.

    Summary

    There were things Babe was beginning to understand with absolute certainty.

    One was that if he made it through this, he would never be the same.

    The other was that Bill had become synonymous with home.

    To say that he had noticed Liebgott would be a statement, and it would be true, but it also would not fully capture the situation.

    Summary

    Gene is forgetting things. Time isn’t moving right. It scatters, loops backwards and sideways, trips him up when he could have sworn the path was clear. It pulls at his edges; it wavers and breaks. He’s never quite sure when he’s dreaming.

    Something happened.

    Summary

    “You know that song, that’s like ‘you’ve got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere, maybe we can make a deal?” Jackie says quietly when Nat returns to the porch.
    “You mean the song called: Fast Car?” Nat follows her gaze to the truck. The last piece of her old man, and the only one really worth keeping.
    She returns to look at Jackie, noticing the gym bag stuffed with clothes and cash.
    “You’re not serious,” Nat scoffs with a laugh.
    “Look, I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel and die in fucking Wiskayok, New Jersey.”

    --

    Follows roughly 10 years of one Natalie Scatorccio and one Jacqueline Taylor cohabitating in a Chelsea apartment while they learn how to be adults.

    Summary

    “What I find absolutely fascinating,” Riddle said, stalking closer, “is you.” He marched forward, backing Harry up until he was pinned to the cool wall of the common room. “Do you know why?”

    “No. And I’ll be honest here, Riddle, I don’t particularly care.”

    The taller boy grinned at him, small yet infinitely pleased. “That. Right there.” One hand rose and brushed some of Harry’s fringe from his face. “Nathan Ciro was a spineless little boy too afraid of his own shadow to dare even glance in my direction. But you…”

    He leaned closer, “You look at me like you want to stab me.”

    After an accident, Auror Harry Potter wakes up in the body of fourteen year old Nathan Ciro, a tormented Slytherin who recently tried to end his own life. Seeking answers to his strange predicament, Harry returns to Hogwarts, and causes quite the stir through staff and students - especially when they come to realise he is not the same boy as before.

    He tries to avoid suspicion, but as his quest for the truth draws more and more attention to him, Harry begins to think that he might not like what he will discover.

    Summary

    Lottie narrows her eyes for a moment, in the middle of the waiting, and then, completely deadpan: “I need you to be my girlfriend.”

    Admittedly: this isn’t the craziest thing Lottie has uttered in her presence - but it’s damn near close to what’s in first place.

    Nat learns more about Lottie Matthews in one summer than she has in every other year that's preceded.
