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
John watched him work for a while, watched the way the dirt fell off his boot, satisfying-like, onto the steps below. Slender fingers worked the brush back and forth, a constant rhythm. Bucky would have quite liked to shut his eyes and listened to the sound, felt the way Gale’s body shifted with each stroke. He could pretend they were somewhere else – the porch of their own house, a summer day, their dog running around the front yard. He’d tip his head onto Gale’s shoulder, and the blonde would put his arm around him, and nothing would ever haunt them again. Not the war, not the memories, not themselves.

The one where Gale obsesses over cleanliness in the Stalag camp and Bucky does his best to understand.

Summary
Through the smoke, and the noise, and the grief, there’s Bucky.
There’s blood all down the right side of his face, but his eyes are bright, and when he sees Gale his smile is even brighter.
There are so many things he wants to say, so many things he wants to do, but there’s a crowd, and Gale doesn’t think he can find the right words anyway. Not here, not now. What he settles on is eloquent, and he hopes it portrays all of the feeling he puts behind it:
“What took you so long?”
Bucky’s grin widens. He shrugs his shoulders up to his ears and gestures back towards the poor excuse of a plane.
“We took a detour,” he says simply.
-
The one where Bucky is temporarily MIA, and Gale loses his mind.

Summary
He takes the final step, lifts the lantern to flood the empty station with light, and sees a man laying on his stable floor.
He’s brunette, sweating, breathing unsteadily. There’s blood wiped messily on his forehead, down his neck. Half laying, half sitting up against the stack of haybales Buck keeps at the bottom of this station, he’s got one bloody hand pressed to his right thigh, which is caked with crimson. His other hand rests wearily on the Colt that’s tucked into the waistband of his pants.
Gale’s heart jumps, he wishes suddenly that he really did have a rifle, but when the man sees that Buck’s unarmed he raises the hand slowly, in a shaky surrender.
-
“You got a name?” Buck asks, in an attempt to distract.
The stranger swallows and takes a deep breath. “Bucky.”
Buck almost pauses in his work. He scoffs and shakes his head. “I’ll be damned.”
“Why’s that?”
“People call me Buck.”
Bucky huffs out a pained laugh, which quickly devolves into a groan. When he’s finished, he says, “Goddamn fate.”-
The one where stablehand Gale finds outlaw John “Bucky” Egan bleeding out in his stables.
(The sequel, seven miles out of freedom town, has been posted.)

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
So, these days when John baits him, it’s mostly knowing that Buck would never give in. It’s fascinating to watch each time it happens though and John can’t get enough of it. The way his tempting words slide right off Buck where with everyone else, they would have sunk their hooks in. The immediate, careless, tempered, “No,” that crawls out of Buck’s throat in that raspy drawl.
Perhaps, John hadn’t been told ‘no’ enough in his life and he’s catching up with it now, collecting each one from Buck’s lips to make up for the hundred times that no one was there to tell him as much in his youth. It drives him crazy that no matter how outrageous or how tame the suggestion is, the answer from Buck would always be no. So he keeps asking.

Summary
John likes to imagine what Buck was like before all this. What he must look like in civilian clothes, a cowboy hat on his head, leading the cattle home safe. It’s a nice image, but then again, it’s a part of Buck’s life John will never be able to lay claim to, and he’s not so sure he likes the idea after all.

Summary
“Sorry I'm late, don, got a little carried away returning to these halls- always was a maze! Sir Felix Ca-ahh.”
He'd lunged forward with a hand outstretched, ready to shake as the professor had straightened up. He turned in his chair lazily, freezing Felix in an awkward, half-bent position with those chilly blue eyes. There was a long moment as Oliver Quick observed him, no expression on his face, before a small smile made his mouth twitch. “It's good to see you, Felix. You look well.”
Felix Catton is a happily married father of three teenagers, approaching 40, and he hasn't seen Oliver since his unfortunate overdose... Everything should be perfect. Everything is perfect.
Until Felix's oldest daughter wants him to smooth things over with her tutor- and he finds himself face-to-face with Professor Oliver Quick. He's older. Wiser. Sensible. He doesn't lie any more.
And so what harm could reconnecting with an old friend do?
Sorry, Lu, but Ollie and I have this very sudden and intense psychosexual thing going on, and if I don't explore it I might go absolutely out of my mind, start clawing at the walls. You understand, don't you, Darling?

Summary
Love songs are amazing at capturing the emotions during specific parts of a love story, such as an ending, a beginning, or some time in between. It’s a snapshot. A moment. Written out of order, this series uses those moments to explore the more painful side of love and the choices Fleur and Hermione make over the years.

Summary
The torture was done and over with before Hermione knew it. The only thing she remembered clearly was the pain, the carving of skin and Bellatrix screaming to the heavens before the world disappeared like sand running through her fingers. By some cruel twist of fate, she was now stuck in 1968 where she only had her memories and books to keep her company... and perhaps a broken girl who was cruelly taught obsession is love and was just as quickly bewitched by the brunette as the first time.
