    Summary

    “If you stay,” John says, almost to himself, “what’d be the difference this time?”

    His thumb caresses Gale’s cheek, the callus on it catches on the stubble Gale hasn't bothered to shave in days. Gale keeps his breathing steady, letting his decision solidify inside him.

    “What you asked for back then,” Gale says, “I’d give you now.”

    /

    After the war, Gale and John build a life together.

    Summary

    “Can I— can I just. Do this. Please.” Gale shudders a breath out, eyes falling shut where he presses his temple against the side of Bucky’s leg. Down here, he feels the pressure wrapped around his chest lighten up, the noise in his head drowning out and mulling flat, like his ears are full of water, like the tide is pressing him down and under. “Please.”

    Bucky doesn’t move a hair. He doesn’t speak for a long time. “Yeah, Buck. Whatever you need.”

    Summary

    Shane had been up for hours already. He'd showered and shaved, then came back to bed and tucked himself under the covers, arranged them to look like he'd never left. His eyes were big and dark and too fucking awake for 6AM on a day they had nothing to do and nowhere to be.

    Summary

    "Oh my God, what?" Shane demands, nervous now.
    Ilya swears in Russian again. "Is, um. The condom."
    Fuck. "What about the condom?"
    "On porvalysa," he says, like he can't fucking bring himself to say it in a language that Shane can understand. Then he finally looks at Shane, mouth covered like he's a cowering dog afraid to show Shane his teeth. "It broke."

    Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are twenty, on top of the world, and a little irresponsible about it. This is the crash.
