Code Name: Buck - John's Version by EternallyTired17

Summary
So, John was supposedly a means to an end and nothing more. While he was pleased with Marge’s assertion that he would be comfortable and wouldn’t have to endure any attempts to pry any slivers of information from him about the Agency, John nevertheless couldn’t help but feel wary of the situation. She knew his name–or at least his code name–as well as his storied reputation. John had to admit that his ego was bolstered somewhat when she’d mentioned as much.
It was unfortunate though, that in her pursuit to regain what the Agency had taken from her, she’d decided to take him in front of Gale. There was no doubt in John’s mind that Gale would come to rescue him, and he didn’t envy the response Marge and her associates were surely to receive when he did.
Companion piece to 'Code Name: Buck', in John's POV.

Summary
“Marge takin’ good care of you, Buck?” he finally asks, lips barely moving.
“Yeah she really is, John. She looks out for me.”
John nods a little, stops when Gale tuts and rests a hand under his chin, featherlight restraint.
“She said you asked her if I’m takin’ good care of her too.”
“Yeah. Gotta make sure, you know?”
Gale hums, a sort of breathy ‘uh-huh’ through barely-parted lips as he carefully cleans the rewetted blood, swipes so gentle they don’t hurt even when he’s working right up next to John’s throbbing nose.
“You need someone to take care of you too, Bucky.”
“No point really,” John argues, definitely slurring now as everything catches up to him at once, adrenaline draining away to leave him nothing more than drunk and exhausted. “Not much here to care about. ‘S all back there.”
“That ain’t true.”

John Egan has survived hell and returned to America after the war to find some promises have been kept, but most have been hollow. The one bright spot in his disappointing return to 'normal life' is his next door neighbor Gale Cleven and Gale's wife Marge, both of whom somehow still find John to be worth knowing, even after everything.

Summary
He's not supposed to hear the stories. Not yet, anyway. The adults will all make sure he knows them when he's older. It's mean to scare him, to keep him in line.
It doesn't work, though.

Summary
"Warsaw was once a battleground; then it became a morgue. It's a city littered with ghosts." --Pawel Pawlikowski.
“Through if be to die, we will fight… We will fight not for ourselves but for future generations. Although we will not survive to see it, our murderers will pay for their crimes after we are gone. And our deeds will live forever.” -- Izhak Katznelson.
September, 1944. It had been nearly five years since Poland had been invaded and annexed by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Five years of brutal fighting, of unimaginable horrors, of solely being able to trust one another. Mat and Jon were always close, but this was a new type of tight-knit relationship that had formed out of necessity. They watched their parents be crushed underneath the rubble of their home, two more victims of a raining canopy of German artillery that showered the skies of Lodz that fateful September morning.

John reaches out to touch one of the jagged lines across Gale's shoulder blade, skin thicker and marled. But it was healed, and underneath the skin exposed to the cold, Gale was warm. Alive.

Summary
1942. In the midst of all the events, Catherine, a young but stubborn woman who wants to be useful and help in this war, arrives at the Thorn Abbott base. She gets a job as a secretary at headquarters, and despite the sidelong glances, inappropriate comments, and an old, creaky metal bed, Cath tries to find strength. Perhaps she underestimated the situation she had gotten herself into. Especially when a cocky pilot appears on the horizon.

- I suck at writing summaries but hopefully you get the gist. Lot of angst but a lotta love. Also it’s a bit weird that these people are real so let’s just ignore that fact and this is basically all about Callum Turner’s character haha -

Summary
i like to call this the 'everybody fucks nasty' fic.
aka why tf did we think that two kids were produced nine months after v-e day.We must work to bind up the wounds of a suffering world--to build an abiding peace, a peace rooted in justice and in law. We can build such a peace only by hard, toilsome, painstaking work--by understanding and working with our allies in peace as we have in war. The job ahead is no less important, no less urgent, no less difficult than the task which now happily is done.

Summary
As an Omega, nineteen-year-old Ken Lemmons could have been forgiven for sitting out the war, safe from harm on his family farm. After all, it was only Alpha's and Beta's who were expected to fight, either voluntarily or thanks to the draft.
He didn't want that though.
He wanted to play his part and so, with his father's support, he volunteered for the Army Air Force.

Summary
“John,” a soft voice murmurs to his right, calling him in.
It’s Buck. He knows without even having to look. Even so, John turns to look at him, peeling his gaze away from the disgruntled alpha and turning his back blatantly. Buck watches him with something unreadable, pupils blown wide in the poorly lit street.
“Buck,” John says slowly, working the name over his tongue like he’s just first hearing it, drawing out the syllables. “You tryna rein me in?”Buck tilts his head, eyes glinting in the moonlight. “Do I have to?” He looks bored and vaguely irritated.
John sighs, maybe a little dramatically, and slings an arm around the alpha’s shoulders, easily achieved with the slight height advantage he has over him. “You’re no fun.”
“You’re too much fun.”
He grins. “No such thing.”
Buck frowns. “There is and you’re it.”

Summary
Five times the Buckies hooked up on the road, and one time they didn't have to.
--//--
The sodium glare of parking lot pole lights isn’t exactly the kindest under pretty much any and every circumstance, but it somehow sits on Gale Cleven like a lover’s caress. Featureless yellow leeches the colors out of him as it does everyone else, the angle of it overhead throws deep shadows under every prominent feature as it does everyone else, and yet somehow when he turns to lean his shoulder against the payphone booth he almost looks like one of the models some of the guys put up clippings of in their sleepers, center crease carelessly smoothed away so it hangs right. Sensuality playing at the angelic, salvation stripped down to delicious sin.
