Summary
A moment is all it takes for everything to change. That’s how it always is.
When you’re pinned against the horizon, sun beating uselessly against your metal skin, the leather of your green apple turning your air funny, all you have is interminable moments of possibility. Life and death, made into string, stretches out in front of you: Tangible. For just a second, you can reach out and touch it, hold it against your gloved palm and feel your soul catch alight in understanding.
All it takes is a moment for John to slip his fingers further past Buck’s waistband.
(or: Bucky's wanting gets the better of him.)

Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of the story.

Gale can see it now. That phantom thread. The one that helped them bridge the unspeakable devastation and horror of war, that helped them fall back into each other’s orbit when they feared themselves untethered and lost to the cosmic vacuum of Europe. Not just once, but three times.

Summary
So, these days when John baits him, it’s mostly knowing that Buck would never give in. It’s fascinating to watch each time it happens though and John can’t get enough of it. The way his tempting words slide right off Buck where with everyone else, they would have sunk their hooks in. The immediate, careless, tempered, “No,” that crawls out of Buck’s throat in that raspy drawl.
Perhaps, John hadn’t been told ‘no’ enough in his life and he’s catching up with it now, collecting each one from Buck’s lips to make up for the hundred times that no one was there to tell him as much in his youth. It drives him crazy that no matter how outrageous or how tame the suggestion is, the answer from Buck would always be no. So he keeps asking.

Summary
“We’ll get out. And this you will be the one worth knowing,” Gale says gently. He runs his hand reverently over John’s face, like the beaten and broken shell of him is still something to marvel at. Gale reaches within him and finds that one sparkling piece of his soul. Then, he holds it up for John to see. And it’s almost enough to make him believe in his own goodness.

Summary
Eddie and Steve have been spending a lot of time together since Vecna. They're co-parenting kids, getting high every night, and sleeping in the same bed. They basically share a wardrobe too.
He thinks this is dangerous, its like they’re married, the casual sharing of intimacy, this space between them which feels like something and nothing all at the same time. He thinks it’s dangerous for him to pretend Steve sees it the same way, that one day Steve’s droopy, kind eyes are going to see right through him and he’ll lose this. This being a side of Steve’s bed that is his, a nightstand where his rings always pile, a drawer of shirts in Steve’s bedroom that only Eddie uses. He can’t lose it, so he shuts his mouth, turns out the light, and watches the slow breathing of sleep fill Steve’s chest.

Summary
‘Please?’
Eddie stops him again, this time by holding his face. Steve feels Eddie’s thumb moving over his cheek, he feels the cool metal of his rings. He feels everything except what he needs.
‘I’ve never loved anything the way I love you, Steve Harrington,’ Eddie says, dark brown eyes moving between Steve’s own. ‘This isn’t the moment, sweetheart.’
It’s not a rejection, but it’s not a kiss. Steve quietly cries, insides cut up on the broken shards of his stupid little heart and Eddie holds him, he holds him all night until they fall asleep together.
