    Summary

    "He had not cried when he was stripped of his prefectship. He had not cried when he knelt half-naked before the whole school. He had not cried when the strap had cut his back bloody.

    But now he cried."

     

    September, 1939. Britain has declared war on Germany, and at Windermere, an old English public school, the boys are told to be brave, obedient, and worthy of their country.

    This is slow-burn.

    Summary

    Art’s sweating, but that’s almost certainly the sauna. He’s nearly motionless. He adjusts his seat on the wooden bench, and Patrick tries to read into the movement but fails. His gaze is as oppressive as the artificial heat. He could be speechless. Fifteen, love.

    But, alas, his response: “What happened in Atlanta?”

    or: au where tashi wasn't the only one who visited patrick that night in atlanta. patrick's living a charmed life!!

    Summary

    Goose has been dead for a week and a half when Iceman loses his first wingman in a dogfight with six Soviet MiGs over the Sea of Okhotsk.

    Goose has been dead for thirty years when Iceman loses his second wingman to a surface-to-air missile on the tail-end of a mission he's responsible for: he's sent his family on a suicide mission to destroy a uranium enrichment facility in Russia's Far East.

    This is the story of those thirty years in the middle.

    (Or: Tom Kazansky rises through the ranks while trying to stay a good man. If he ever was one to begin with.)

    [Final edit 2/4/23. See Ch. 1 notes for major changes.]
