Summary
It'll be night already in Iraq, wherever they are. Wherever Rudy is.
Pappy's tried to fight the 'what-ifs' every time they'd crept up on him (which seemed like all the time), but in this moment, he lets them in.
He wonders if everyone is fine, if they got through the next shithole town or went around it. He thinks about the damage to his (no, not his anymore, their) vehicle, if they've tried to fix anything or even had the time to do so. He hopes Rudy doesn't have to go through the rest of the invasion with a bullet hole through the windshield, though he knows the other man would find some bullshit excuse or karmic lesson for why it's a good reminder of fleeting mortality or some other West Coast preachy thing.
Pappy wonders if his blood still stains the floorboards of the Humvee. The imagery of it, of Rudy having to clean it off himself, grips something fragile and fluttering in his chest, tightening up around his throat and not letting go.

Summary
Each time they'd done drownproofing exercises in the pool, Colbert had been the one to tie his hands and feet together. Watching the other instructors, it's clear to Nate he was going out of his way to do so. And the sections of black cording were always very tight. Swimming handicapped back and forth in the pool, Colbert had always been there, looming over the edge, watching him like a hawk. Maybe more akin to a heron, truthfully.
A tall, foreboding, and very handsome heron.

Summary
"Maybe you do it on purpose, is that it? You want this. You like being told how good you are...but you like being told you're a fuck-up just as much."
He used to hate the way Nate could look right at him, through him, and see everything he couldn't.

Summary
“The thing you can't quite put your finger on about DeMarco,” He says, “is that you want him to fuck you til you cry. Sorry to spoil the game for you.”
Brady stares at him and stares at him, alone in the Base’s Chapel and rosary halfway finished. He thinks he might throw up, or maybe strangle Curt Biddick and then throw up.
“Lock it up, Johnny, they’re gonna see you bleeding it all over soon.”

Summary
“Do you think about him watching?” John goes on. Gale tries to pull away but John catches the stubbled curve of his chin one hand, holding him close and pressing a slow sticky kiss to the arch of his cheekbone, “Think about him judgin’ you while I make you cry? Has he seen you in the skirt, has he seen you rollin’ on top of me in the middle of the night, humping at me like an animal? Do you think he saw you bent over his pews starin’ up at his son's resurrection while you came?”
“You’re a freak, John,” Gale snaps.

Summary
The small Scottish meteorologist had surprised him during that meeting. Not only did he manage to convince him to delay the largest invasion in history, but he also awakened some feelings that he hadn't felt since his early days in the army. Seeing Stagg out in the rainstorm, vindicated by the weather he loved so much, he can't help but be drawn to him.
