    Summary

    Jake, I…” He stops, his eyebrows pinched as he shakes his head.

    Jake’s eyes snap open, his gaze caressing Bradley’s face. “Yeah?” Smoothing out the tension between Bradley’s eyebrows, Jake cups his face in his hands. “I’m listening.”

    Averting his eyes, Bradley whispers, “I’m really glad it was you.”

    or - the eight times they almost say I love you during sex, and the one time they do.

    Summary

    Opening the door, Bradley went slow and stepped away when he felt something pushing against the base. The porch light spilled over the body sprawled across his threshold. Surprise kept him still for a moment until recognition made him move.

    “Hangman. Jake. What the fuck?” Bradley asked, thumping down to one knee as he helped Jake up from where he’d fallen when the door didn’t stabilize him anymore.

    There was blood. Swelling covered his face and hands that would bruise sooner rather than later. His torn khakis were covered in dirt and smelled like rotten trash. Half of his ribbons had been ripped off. None of the blood or smears of whatever Bradley didn’t want to know about had dried, so the fight couldn’t have happened too long before.

    Summary

    “Dude, is that Rooster?” Javy exclaims, leaning closer to Jake’s ear.

    The name startles Jake so severely his drink almost slips through his fingers. Tightening his grip, Jake whips his head forwards, his pulse thudding in his throat as he searches downwards through the sea of writhing bodies.

    On instinct Jake wants to say no, to laugh the question off because of course it can’t be, but once Javy points to help him, Jake’s mouth parts in pure disbelief.

    It is Rooster, clear as day.

    Jake can’t tear his eyes away if he tries.

    Only after he started stalking his way across the Hard Deck’s parking lot, too blinded by anger to focus on direction, did the loss of the comforting weight of dog tags around his neck register. Jake was familiar with this kind of anger.

    Summary

    Jake kept on bumping into this guy named, Gramps-- Tom. He was nice to talk to, plus, people did say that he should have a life outside of the Navy, right?

    ---

    Tom didn't know why he kept on bumping into this kid, but he's good (amusing) company, so why not.

    Summary

    Jake never thinks about Bradley as the one that got away.

    That implies that something happened, something beyond control and beyond reason and beyond their best efforts, and it just didn’t work out.

    But Bradley left. So he didn’t get away. He pulled Jake’s heart out of his chest and crushed it on the tarmac after their TOPGUN graduation, and drove away like Jake wasn’t in the rearview.

    That’s all they had. Eight weeks, something like ten years ago, that was it. And they spent more of it bickering than they did doing anything else, besides finding secluded corners and supply closets that locked to steal ten minutes alone in. They fought and argued and competed, and spent every moment they could together in-between. Eight weeks.

    It took less than half of that for Jake to be more than half in love.

    Summary

    Jake drops his phone to his side and looks to Javy, who's gleaming at the prospect of Sarah Seresin’s cooking and a week or so on the ranch.
    “My mother is insisting I invite you all to Texas. Feel free to decline.”

    Summary

    Being stuck with Hangman as a wingman has its downsides, especially after a mission goes sideways and Cyclone grounds them both. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is for Bradley to resist Jake’s charms.
    For Jake who has always preferred to jump in and think later, slowing down is a nightmare. Still, it’s not all bad. It turns out that when he lets Bradley set the pace they end up places he would never have imagined.

    Summary

    If Hangman wants to blow off steam before the mission, as stupid as it is to do it here where anyone could stumble onto them, Bradley’s game. What’s one more badly thought out and impulsive decision in a long line of them?

    (There's more to the patterns they fall into than Bradley realizes.)

    Summary

    Ever since that first night back after the mission, when Jake had cornered him out behind the Hard Deck and grinned winningly before dropping to his knees and making Bradley see God, all Bradley’s wanted is to lay Jake out, map out that golden body, store up Jake’s gasps and moans and soft, bitten-off words.

     

    Bradley has a good thing going with Jake, but deep down, he wants more. So when everything he wanted drops into his lap, it's the best thing that's ever happened to him.

    Right?

    Summary

    Jake sees a flash of movement out of the corner of his eye. There’s a creature watching them from the waves.

    It’s a seal, he quickly realizes. Big and bulky, fully adult. Coarse brown fur, huge black eyes, slick pelt. The seal is staring directly at Jake, something baleful and almost challenging in its manner. Now that he thinks about it, he’s certain he’s seen this same seal patrolling the waters around the island or sunbathing lazily on the black rocks.

    It has a distinctive, recognizable whisker pattern: prominent and bushy, like a particularly bad mustache.
