    Summary

    A moment is all it takes for everything to change. That’s how it always is.

    When you’re pinned against the horizon, sun beating uselessly against your metal skin, the leather of your green apple turning your air funny, all you have is interminable moments of possibility. Life and death, made into string, stretches out in front of you: Tangible. For just a second, you can reach out and touch it, hold it against your gloved palm and feel your soul catch alight in understanding.

    All it takes is a moment for John to slip his fingers further past Buck’s waistband.

    (or: Bucky's wanting gets the better of him.)

    Summary

    Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of the story.

    Not to John Egan. Not after the war.

    Summary

    Gale can see it now. That phantom thread. The one that helped them bridge the unspeakable devastation and horror of war, that helped them fall back into each other’s orbit when they feared themselves untethered and lost to the cosmic vacuum of Europe. Not just once, but three times.
