    Summary

    “Hey,” John says.
    Gale’s blues flick back to him, brow furrowing more at the grin creeping sideways across John’s face.
    “I got you something,” John says, and then sits up, folding his body in half with a groan that’s torn somewhere from his lower back.
    “No, you didn’t, John,” Gale says in the same tone he used to tell John not to sing.
    “Did.”

     

    or, the fic where John and Gale celebrate the end of the war with some cupcakes

    Summary

    If Larry and Gladys did not wish for her help, if George no longer wanted her assistance, well, she wouldn't fight them. She had more than enough battles before her as it was, no need to add her family to their number if they were so pig-headed as to insist she leave them to their failures. After all, there was nothing in their previous arguments that said she couldn't provide her assistance elsewhere.

    Summary

    "He still married?"

    "He's married," John says after a pause. "Yeah, he's married, you could say that."

    Clearly there's something Harry is missing. He's shrewd enough to pick up on that, but not much else. The foil label on his beer bottle peels away easily when he scratches at it, considering whether or not to delve further.

    Summary

    John's alive—brutally so, a stark contrast to the memory of a man torn in half on their wing. At that moment, death hadn't felt human. Blood frozen at altitude, turning remains to wax figures. Just a torso. Limbs. A uniform-clad form reduced to components.

    But John is different. He is flesh and breath and unexpected softness.

    /

    They land in Algeria. John doesn’t touch Gale anymore.

    Summary

    “Sometimes I talk to Robby, and I understand him more than I understand myself,” Samira said.

    She felt Jack nod. “That doesn’t surprise me,” he said, his voice muffled against her shirt.

    “And then sometimes I don’t.”

    “That doesn’t surprise me either.” Samira could tell he was smiling. “You two are a lot alike.”

    “Is that why you’re with me?” she asked.
