Summary
Bucky flees into the arms of the army to make something out of his life. Gale joins it to prove to the world that he can succeed regardless of his sub-gender. They meet. Bucky baptizes him Buck. Things become more complicated from then on.
An A/B/O retelling of Masters of the Air.
Extract:
There is a strength in John Egan, in the way he holds himself, in the shine of his eyes, powerful. Gale longs to emulate it, because he too wants to be easy-going, easily-loved, wants to show up and be friends with complete strangers.Bucky says 'trust me' and Gale does. Unconditionally.
There is a steadiness in Gale Cleven which Bucky longs to emulate, the way with which he stands by his principles so faithfully, the way he commands respect because he is one of the best, because he is smart and secure, unshakable. Bucky wants to lean against him, wants to be held up by that steadiness, wants it to shield him from his own tenderness.
Buck says 'follow me' and John does. Unwaveringly.
