Summary
Buck did not know why at this exact moment; his thoughts brought him to Curtis. Perhaps a part of him sought to understand if Curtis had endured similar struggles. The commands in his hands were like fire, destroying everything around them, including Buck himself. In that fleeting moment, Buck felt engulfed by the inferno, yet it was all contained within his mind.
(or : Buck is hurt but can't stop thinking about how much he loves Bucky)

Summary
“Buck!” The shaking brought just enough clarity for him to hear his name. “Gale!” This time shouted directly in his ear. He flinched away and only then realized how accelerated his breathing had become. “Breathe Gale. Come on.”

Summary
“Let’s get you moving, okay?”
Gale nodded, releasing his grip on the hatch. He swayed slightly but Bucky countered, taking on some of his weight. That’s when he noticed the blood seeping through his sleeve near his left shoulder.
“Dang it Buck, you’re hit.”

Summary
“Um, hello,” a voice that is distinctly not Gale comes through the connection. “Is this John Egan?”
“Yes,” John replies, switching the phone to his other hand, hoping it’s less wet. It’s not. “Who’s this?”
“I’m a nurse at Lakeside Memorial,” she supplies and John’s knees go weak. “I’m calling because your friend, Gale Cleven, was brought in about an hour ago. He was in an accident.”

Post-War Snapshot. Gale is an accident and the phone call shakes John. They take care of each other in their own ways during a peaceful weekend at home. -

Summary
The thundering steps coming from behind Gale, grab everyone’s attention. “What’s this all about Major, I called out to you earlier and you left me hangi-” Bucky’s sentence dies on his tongue as finally steps into position behind Gale, and understands what all the ‘commotion’ had been.
Bucky’s a soldier at heart, in the best of times and in the worst of times. And one of the first things they teach you in basic is to ‘observe the field before jumping into battle’. So Bucky observes: the vulgar costumes, the scared kids, the grumpy old man, and most importantly a completely and utterly distraught Gale.

Summary
“Major Cleven,” Sitting cooly under assessing eyes, eyes of the palest blue, dead and lifeless like a fishes, “For you the war is over.”
Like he hadn’t known that in his bones. They ached within his skin, burdened by the ordeal of the last hour, the last day, the last year. What he wouldn’t give to be able to sleep. But he was not about to appear weak in front of his enemy, even though he accepted the cigarette, having refused the whiskey offered by the interrogator.
'Gotta keep your strength up, Buck,' he can hear Bucky’s voice in his ear. 'You gotta be alive to come back to me.'
So he sits there, and he takes it.
————————————
“It’s good to see you, Curt.” The soft rasp of the Major’s voice is like fingers over the harp of Biddick’s soul. Holding out a hand to shake.
“Hey, none’a that, now,” feeling that smile overtaken his face again, taking the hand for a shake and using it to pull Buck closer, to give him a hug he knows the other man needs but will never initiate or ask for.
When they pull back from each other, hands still locked in that handshake, neither of them mention the shadows they have lost.

Gale became afraid of hurting John and locked himself away, refusing to be around John. The Egan parents didn’t allow anyone to tell John about Gale’s powers, which led to John feeling confused and devastated at Gale’s persistent avoidance of him.

Summary
For the prompt : Classics - muse a tends to muse b’s wounds with more care than necessary
--
Perhaps life really only started when he opened the door to his room in flight school and shook hands with Gale Cleven. Perhaps the twenty-four years before that were only to learn how his legs and arms worked to get him to this moment, where he learned how his heart did.
Or
After the Regensburg Mission, John cannot forget just how close he came to losing Gale forever. He copes how he can, tending to Gale's wounds, and holding him when the adrenaline leaves him and Gale can't keep up the officer façade anymore. He lets Gale take care of the cuts that adorned his face even though John had forgotten them. And then, when all the wounds have been treated, desperation to feel just how alive the other still is settles in, like a wildfire of urgency that not even the presence of their men a few feet away can soothe.

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
“Where is he Benny?” Bucky shakes him, feeling more alive than he has since before he walked into that phone booth in London.
“They beat him,” Benny breathes out. “Then they took him to the cooler.”
Bucky drops his hands, releasing Benny’s jacket and stumbling back a step.
“What?” He can’t help but stare at Benny uncomprehendingly because Gale is a senior officer here. He goes to meetings with the Krauts and negotiates for supplies and he’s Gale. Gentle, quiet, sweet Gale and how could anyone hurt him?
“For how long?” Bucky practically yells. The cooler? He thinks and feels his heart sink. Gale can’t go to solitary confinement, none of them can survive this place alone and Gale has been wasting away even in a room full of people who care about him.

Gale is sent to solitary confinement and John's world changes in an instant.Series

Summary
Bucky doesn’t bother knocking on the door to the room Gale’s been holed up in. The door isn’t shut, just cracked and he pushes it open and then immediately closed, cutting off the rest of the infirmary.
He didn’t realize how terrible he’d felt, how the adrenaline and the fear were making his breathe shorter and his chest tighter until he laid his eyes on Gale, propped up on the bed, leaning against the wall, wrapped in the same pile of blankets Benny had been, and blinking owlishly at him. He felt like he’d been existing outside of his body until now, when he snapped back into it and felt like himself again, the sight of Gale righting his world.
“Hey,” the blonde on the bed rasped out.
“Hey?” Bucky put his hands on his hips and looked down at the younger man. “That’s all you’ve got to say?”
“I’m a man of few words,” Gale hit back. “Thought you liked that about me.”

Summary
Another cool breath of wind pulls across his neck. Taking a faltering step forward, he reels with dizziness, floundering — his skeleton feels fragile as a bird’s, his head a rush of floating sparks.
“Buck?”
He blinks. Static blooms and bleeds across his vision. He blinks again, and then he can’t see at all.

Summary
John releases Gale’s wrist to cup the side of his neck, brushing his thumb along his jaw. “Christ, Buck.” Just inches from his face, he can see his exhaustion, can smell the smoke and soot on him, the quiet, iron tang of blood. “Christ. You…”
He trails off, breathless at the unextinguished pulse beneath his fingers, the lingering warmth of Gale’s skin — these things he can still feel, somehow, things he thought he would not feel again.
