    Summary

    "I died over there, you know. I might be here, right now, with you," he pats Joe's hair, "but I'm actually dead, Lieb."

    In fact there are hundreds of corpses Bucky left strewn across Europe, and one in Algeria, and a whole fucking pile of them in the stalag. He used to get so angry at Gale for trying to gather and bundle them all together. Bucky wanted to say, Don't open that box. You're gonna mix up all the Buckys into a tangled fucking mess if you do that, so don't.

     

    -- Bucky, afterward

    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

    Brian shouts at us from his family’s boat several yards away, pointing to the red flag flying high over the lighthouse that says we should come in to shore. My brother and I don’t speak on the way in other than to maneuver away from other boats and the occasional sharp, Capitol-created rock dotting the harbor. I steer us very clear of these; rumor has it they’re poisoned to prevent water escapes on reaping days, and I’ve never wanted to test the theory.
    It takes an age and a half to sort out the nets once we’ve moved the fish, but I don’t mind. It’s soothing to have something to do with my hands.
    “Hey,” Brian says from over my shoulder. I feel him sit beside me and I relax, leaning against his side for the space of a heartbeat before righting myself. He nudges me back, reaching for the net. “Ready for today?”
    “Of course not,” I say back, and he laughs. It’s a tired beaten thing.
    He says, “When are we ever.”
