Summary
He wades in it now, eyes still open, fixed on the speckled ceiling, begging himself not to crave bomb blasts and artillery fire in his childhood bedroom. Although…there might be something beautiful about it all, Johnny supposes, those noises in the thick. The gasps in between discharge that say: I’m here, I’m a part of this song too.

Bookmarker's Notes
This was an incredible experience, partly because I kept picturing John as Jamie from Outlander lol. Crazy. Highly recommend picturing a real Scottish highlander in his kit all hamming it up with a big dude in a ghost mask. It's almost enough to keep the tears at bay. Almost. (I should note that I've consumed like 10 minutes total of original CoD content prior to reading this fic. Haha.) Author gets all the flowers. It feels wrong that I read this for free. The art too! Oh my god, the art!

“You know, Woodrow,” Gus said, “there’s some people in this world who need a tender word from you now and again.”
“You never did,” Call said.
(Lonesome Dove, if Gus and Call also fucked.)

Summary
Kakashi avoided relationships. He didn't want to put others in danger. So he couldn't understand why there was a face staring back at him, as a sub-entry to his own, in this Bingo Book. Umino Iruka (lover) the caption read. It didn't matter that it wasn't true. The Book was fact, and to Kakashi's enemies, Iruka had just become a weakness they could exploit.
