Summary
"You got a name?" the man asks. They're almost of height. He's got cedar brown hair and is slimmer than Gale, but in a way that speaks of nature and genes instead of deliberate starvation.
Gale says, "Buck."
"I'm Paul. That your real name, Buck?"
"No," Gale says, and feels like he's lying.

Summary
John got home about ten minutes late to see Gale sitting barefoot on his porch steps, looking out at the lawn. It was a beautiful summer evening; Gale and Marge’s sensible car was in their driveway, and Marge was in Chicago for a conference. Their neighbors had mostly stopped setting off fireworks, but not completely. It looked like the cover of the Saturday Evening Post, except that Gale was pretty clearly fucking losing it.

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.

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
“I know you said you live out here,” John says, leaning out the window of his truck. “But do you ever get into town?”
“Not really,” Gale shrugs. He sees something that might be disappointment flit across John’s handsome face before that bright grin is back in place, crinkling his eyes and his forehead and making it hard to fight down his own. “Some supply runs here and there.”
Johns nods, still smiling. “Well, maybe I’ll see you around sometime?”
“Don’t count on it,” Gale tells him, letting his lips curve up slightly. John laughs and waves and Gale’s hands twitch as he watches a breeze blow a curl out of place and over his forehead before he’s rolling the window up and pulling away. Gale watches his tree laden truck pull out the gate and onto the street and feels a strange sense of sadness settle over him once he’s out of sight.

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.

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
“It’ll be fun,” Marge says to him over the phone as he’s unpacking another box in his tiny, studio apartment. “I’ve been to a few other classes, it’s a good environment.”
“It doesn’t sound like my sort of environment, Marge,” Gale says, picking up an astrophysics textbook that pushes the bounds of what a single-handed grip is capable of. It strains the tendons in his wrist as he tries not to drop it on the way to its new home in the built-in bookshelf. The edges of it are bloated, almost rubbery with how many times it’s been painted over in the same shade of white, a few spots chipped away to show rich brown wood underneath.
“Your sort of environment is on a hill with a telescope, with nobody around.”

Summary
Those are the times Gale feels like a younger sibling. Other times, he— doesn't, and there really isn’t any one word or phrase that encapsulates how he feels then.
Technically he's known John for almost his entire life. Hard not to put someone like that on a pedestal.
-- Gale has nowhere to go, except maybe his ex-best friend's older brother's place

Summary
There’s a lot of the in-between missing. Gale closes his eyes, thinking about being hooked to John’s side in the corner of a pub, listening to him talk about—with his hands splayed wide, around some invisible dame in his lap, far too sober, and Curt whistling, saying, “That poor mare,” in crude innuendo, because everyone knew that John—
“She laughed at me, Buck,” he says.

Summary
The boy’s gaze flicked upwards when Hathus approached. He was only bold enough to look Hathus in the eye for a moment before hastily ducking his head. A trained slave wouldn’t have looked up at all, but for a captured soldier, his reaction was nearly demure. Hathus took note of the tie around his neck. The leather knot wasn’t pulled tight, as it would have been if he’d struggled, and the skin around his throat was unmarked. The boy hadn’t fought the leash.
“Stand,” Hathus said quietly. The boy didn’t respond.
The quartermaster clicked his tongue. “Willful.”
Hathus barely held back from rolling his eyes. If the boy was a conscript, he might have been drawn from one of the further reaches of the opposing empire. Gods only knew what language he spoke. He crouched down, startling the boy into looking up at him again.
“Stand,” he said, and gripped the boy by the shoulders, pulling him upwards. The boy scrambled to get his feet under him as soon as he realized what Hathus was doing. Not willful in the least, once he understood what was being ordered.
