Summary
You tell yourself that you can make him leave. The truth is that you never could keep him out. The uglier truth is that you never really wanted to.
Months after the dissolution of Cobra Kai, a visit from the man who had haunted her for the last year leaves Tory reeling. When the rest of her life seems to be crumbling around her, there is one point to which she can moor herself, regardless of the consequences - a point that asks only for complete obedience in return for keeping her afloat.

Summary
The first letter Gale gets from Bucky is about a unicorn.
-----
Gale’s used to John rambling when he’s drunk, usually while hanging off one arm hooked around Gale’s shoulders, but there’s a different note to his written word. When he’s drunk in person, he likes to pester Gale with questions, get Gale to talk about himself. When it’s just John and a pen, it seems he simply shares every little thought that crosses his mind.
He lets the letter close on its own again, staring down at his eggs until he hears “Good morning, Major!” from outside the mess hall. Hurriedly, Gale tucks the letter back into its envelope and the envelope into the pocket of his trousers. By the time the doors swing open, John sauntering in like he owns the base and the mess and the doors themselves, Gale’s sure all knowledge of John’s words—of that lipstick print pressed onto paper beside John’s name—has been wiped from his face.
All the same, he can’t resist taking a peek. John’s walking on air. Gale smiles.
