    Summary

    What if Bucky never ended up in Stalag Luft III with Buck? What if it took them 18 months to find each other again? Can the wounds of the camp be healed, or are they both too far gone?

    The rape is not explicit here, but it is discussed! No explicit sex either, but hopefully lots of comforting later on. Kind of both an established relationship and a slow burn at the same time.

     

    Disclaimer: The characters in this story are not intended to be representative, by any means, of the real life people (who they are clearly named after) involved in WWII. The premise is fiction about fiction based on some historical events.

    Summary

    This was Felix’s fucking year. Felix Catton. Webbe College. Oxford University. Just Felix Catton with the world at his fingertips.

    Stocky, solid as he ran into his chest. Dark brown hair contrasted by shockingly bright blue eyes. Overall, he was…Unassuming. Not much to look at, to be honest. Pale, a soft face, absolutely dorky clothes. Plaid flannel buttoned up nearly to his neck, thick glasses, a silly formal scarf. But his eyes. Unreadable, like he could see through people, and freezing cold. Eyes that Felix felt would haunt him.

    "I’m Felix. Felix Catton.”

    A spoiled rich boy, going through the trenches of extreme puppy love. He tries his best and fails, most of the time.

    “I’m Oliver. Oliver Quick.”

    Summary

    “Sorry I"m late, don, got a little carried away returning to these halls- always was a maze! Sir Felix Ca-ahh.”

    He"d lunged forward with a hand outstretched, ready to shake as the professor had straightened up. He turned in his chair lazily, freezing Felix in an awkward, half-bent position with those chilly blue eyes. There was a long moment as Oliver Quick observed him, no expression on his face, before a small smile made his mouth twitch. “It"s good to see you, Felix. You look well.”


    Felix Catton is a happily married father of three teenagers, approaching 40, and he hasn"t seen Oliver since his unfortunate overdose... Everything should be perfect. Everything is perfect.

    Until Felix"s oldest daughter wants him to smooth things over with her tutor- and he finds himself face-to-face with Professor Oliver Quick. He"s older. Wiser. Sensible. He doesn"t lie any more.

    And so what harm could reconnecting with an old friend do?


    Sorry, Lu, but Ollie and I have this very sudden and intense psychosexual thing going on, and if I don"t explore it I might go absolutely out of my mind, start clawing at the walls. You understand, don"t you, Darling?

    Summary

    “I should have been up there with you.”

    Buck sucks in a breath, faced with the sudden idea of Bucky up there with them. Worse, in one of the planes that didn’t make it home. He tries to shake it, well aware this is their job. Their life. But he’s never got used to the idea of Bucky going up in the air and not coming back. Doubts he ever will. “We got a long road ahead of us.”

    “Yeah.” He pauses. “But we got each other.”

     

    OR: the one in which Buck realizes what Bucky has been dealing with without him.

    Summary

    John likes to imagine what Buck was like before all this. What he must look like in civilian clothes, a cowboy hat on his head, leading the cattle home safe. It’s a nice image, but then again, it’s a part of Buck’s life John will never be able to lay claim to, and he’s not so sure he likes the idea after all.
