Summary
Bucky Egan had two sisters. His older sister was back in Wisconsin happily married with kids. His other sister, his baby sister on the other hand.... well who knows where she is! She left America in 1940 and Bucky hadn't seen her since. She stopped writing a while back.
Charlie Egan left for London with the sole goal of nursing in their hospitals while the Germans blitzed the city with their bombs. Charlie soon realised she was in for a long war. One that took casualties and did not discriminate.

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.

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)

“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.”

“Let’s get you moving, okay?”

Summary
"What are you gonna do once you reach your twenty-five, Buck?" Violet asked, because there was no reality in which Gale Cleven did not make it to twenty-five missions. "Back to Wyoming?"
Buck's expression was glum, his eyebrows knitting together as he ran his thumb around the rim of his cola bottle. "Not without my best girl," he winked at her, and then his eyes landed pointedly on Bucky, conveying what he could not say, what the three of them knew implicitly.
Buck never made it to the twenty-five, nor did Bucky. Violet decides that if neither of her boys were to make it home, she had no intentions to either, but the last thing that she expected when she signed up to be a flight nurse was that she'd end up in a stalag for the remainder of the war.

Summary
“You’re going to sit here and take it like the tenacious little Yank you are. Or should I give your friend a go?” He whispered into Crosby’s ear, tightening the grip on his scalp. Crosby bit his lip to contain the whimper that threatened to escape but managed to shake his head.
“Good lad,” he approved, patting his cheek in a rather sardonic manner.
A fist collided with the side of his face.

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.

Summary
He gets no answer from Gale and his worry and frustration leak into his next words.
“You’ve been gone for three weeks and now you're hiding from me in the same damn room.”
He pulls a chair closer and sits heavily in it. When he settles, he’s close enough that his knees brush Gale’s thigh.
“I’m not hiding,” Gale speaks to his lap. “I don’t want to talk about this.”
“About what?”
Gale looks up at him and Bucky can see the fragile pieces of the mask he usually wears trying to fall into place, but it’s not working. He’s too sick, too tired, too everything to don it right now. It crumples and Bucky is looking into two sky blue pools of misery.
“What is it?” He keeps his voice firm but his eyes open and gentle, encouraging. Gale coughs, clears his throat and looks back down.

Summary
When Gale comes back, the first thing she notices is that he’s smaller — his face is pale and hollowed, his cheeks scarred and sunken. Deep shadows line what’s visible of his collarbones; the same darkness pools beneath his eyes.
The second thing she notices is the man beside him, his arm holding Gale steady at the waist. He’s taller than Gale, square-shouldered with dark hair and a furrowed brow — she knows without question that it’s the John from Gale’s letters.

Gale And His feelings for Bucky, in four Acts by Thetrystingtree for WonderGinia

Summary
No dam could've withstood the force of nature John Egan is. No strength on Earth could've stopped Gale from loving him, not even himself.
And now, both sat on opposite ends of the couch, Gale reading and John intently listening to a baseball game on the radio but Buck's right hand holding on to Bucky's left, he can't keep the words in his mouth.
"I love you." The words curve around his tongue, twirl in the air until they're embedded in every wall of their house, and dance around Bucky who immediately smiles wide, as if Buck hasn't said the words a thousand times by now. It took him two years to figure the words out from the maze in his head, another one to admit them to himself as something eternal and inevitable, and then an additional two to voice them, give them shape and sound until there really is no escape from them, and now he can't stop uttering them. It's freeing in a way he never knew words could be. As though he gives a piece of himself to Bucky with every utterance, and he wants Bucky to have all of him.
Or
Gale's journey from realizing his feelings for Bucky to realizing Bucky feels the same towards him.

Summary
“Are you kidding?” Bucky shouts, as usual losing control over the volume of his voice and grin digging into his cheeks. “Buck here would make a gorgeous girl. Look at that face.” Bucky reaches out and squeezes his chin in his huge palm. Gale’s breath stutters in his chest as he holds Bucky’s fond gaze, their pupils blown wide. Sometimes Gale thinks he’s no better than his father except that the thing he ended up being addicted to had a pulse and a love for girls with big tits.
OR the sorority girls are not letting Bucky Egan in their vicinity after he breaks his last girlfriend's heart. He's horny and Gale's only too eager to help him out.

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.”
