    Summary

    The door snaps against its chain, wedge of light from inside showing very little except for John’s hand braced against the frame, and a fragment of his face.

    “Yeah?” he asks, rough and tired. Gale swallows.

    “What, not even a ‘hi’?” He tries to drawl it out, but his heart is punching all nervy through his core, and it’s making his words wobble. The door slams shut.

    There’s scrabbling, metal on metal on wood and frantic hands, and then the door is all but gone, thrown wide to let all the light out and frame John, standing there in sharp relief.

    “Hi,” he says, and his face splits wide. “Hi,” he repeats, and he’s reaching for Gale. “Hi,” he breathes, and it’s into Gale’s neck. Gale wraps his arms around John’s back, tucking a kiss behind his ear. “How are ya? How was your flight?”

    “Are you surprised?”

    “I’m dreaming. Hi, baby.”

    Summary

    They look for each other through space and time, through wars, through lifetimes. Even if they don't know it, they're always pulled closer by something grander than them.

    And every time they find each other, a spark catches. Sometimes it’s just that, a spark — it lingers, or gets smothered, never fully grows into a flame.
    Other times, it blooms. The fire roars, engulfs their lives, burns through them too hot and too quick. It never lasts.

    Until it does.

    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.

    Summary

    John fell in love in Walla Walla.

    He fell in love with that split second on the runway when he pulled back on the yoke and the wheels of his B-17 left the ground for the first time. He fell in love with the shock of relief of the icy high-altitude air after spending too long taxiing the runway in the stagnant air of an enclosed cockpit.

    He fell in love with a fort almost seeming to float through the air, all engines feathered.

    He fell in love with messy golden hair tumbling out of the hatch and a smile as bright as the sun glinting off of aluminum wingtips.

    So it was no surprise, really, that when Gale ran a hand across the hull of his plane gently, reverently, and said “I’m in love,” in that low awestruck croon, that his name was simultaneously etched into the pale skin of John’s wrist.
