Summary
It’s been three years since the wedding, and he’s run out of excuses not to visit. They’re expecting him today. Marge said as much in her last letter, the lovely slant of her cursive telling him she’d have supper waiting for him. The faintest whiff of her perfume clung to the paper, something soft and floral.
Five o’clock on the dot. Italian, she promised. Your favorite.

Summary
The cold, dry Wyoming dirt fills Gale's lungs and passes into his blood, melts into the plasma there, begins making up his body again, it seeps into his white bones and every movement is part of that desert. England had not quite taken the cowboy out of him before he was back again, married and squirming in his bed from the nightmares. He is more than Casper, he wants more than what it gives; John can give him more, but he is half the man he wishes he was, and squirms all the more at night for he thinks little of that kind of adventure, and less still of himself.

Summary
"They had a strained conversation after mail call, all those months ago, walking slowly across the barren, muddy ground, and John wouldn’t look at him when he told him he was afraid that people would only ever know the person he was becoming.
Gale could see it hanging over him, then: the spectre of the person John thought so diminished and so unworthy of being known. The person he was so afraid of becoming. And Gale thought, back then ‘what kind of person would not want to know every aspect of him? What kind of person would not love every version of this man?’"
...
Or: Gale, through it all.

Summary
Since the first shards of flak struck Alex’s Mustang his mind and body could not stop moving—racing, calculating—so he spent his days limping and shaking, gritting his teeth. Categorizing and repeating everything he had learned:
The guards were predictable once you knew what to look for.
The routine of prisoner-of-war life was lousy but survivable with certain strategies.
Egan and Cleven weren’t gonna survive the winter.
______
Or,
Alex tries to make sense of life at Stalag III, but the two majors from the Hundredth throw a wrench in things.

Summary
When Gale comes back, the first thing she notices is that he’s smaller — his face is pale and hollowed, his cheeks scarred and sunken. Deep shadows line what’s visible of his collarbones; the same darkness pools beneath his eyes.
The second thing she notices is the man beside him, his arm holding Gale steady at the waist. He’s taller than Gale, square-shouldered with dark hair and a furrowed brow — she knows without question that it’s the John from Gale’s letters.

Summary
"Buck. What the hell are you doing here?"
His mouth opens, and at first, nothing. Just the droning of cicadas. The name Buck both a slap and kiss. A car passing. Sweat drying on his lower back. Bucky staring at him like Gale is the worst mistake he's ever made. Then his voice again.
"Marge left me," Gale says.

Summary
“So you wake up, I’m pressing it in… you look at me, I say—” he clears his throat a little, leans back over Gale—“It’s time.”
“I’ll haunt you, boy,” Gale grits in return, looking at John unblinking and holding his jaw tense. “I ain’t leavin’ you in peace.”
“I know,” John bites, and drives in the knife. Gale gasps and chokes, shudders like they rehearsed.
“Come on, boy.” Gale’s only reacting now, bracing and writhing as John pulls back the knife—that’ll be when the SFX guy starts pumping the blood. He glides light, trembling fingers over a spot under Gale’s ribs, before rubbing a bit harder, and then—
“What kind of foley you reckon they’ll put on this?” John muses, tapping his finger once against Gale’s skin. He sits up, and holds his other hand in a loose o, working the same finger in and out of the makeshift hole with a raised eyebrow. “Mac and cheese?”
--
Gale Cleven lands his first major credit, playing across big name John Egan—and despite what Gale told himself before shooting started, everyone knows that on-set flings happen. It's fine if it doesn't mean anything. Right?Series
