    Summary

    The whales are there for only a few minutes, surfacing once more and then never coming back up as the light fades to an inky black night, nothing but the ship's lights creating a halo of visibility around them. Winter clouds above, there are no stars to differentiate the sky from the sea. It's a cold, unsettling feeling, and John’s hairs are rising on the back of his neck, Alice rolling over waves he can’t even see. A speck of life dropped off the end of the world.

    “Entering the crab grounds now, boys. Everybody on deck to load those pots and drop ‘em down.”

    --
    An au posed by the simple question: What if you took the enduring love of John and Gale and combined it with the hit 2005 show Deadliest Catch.

    Summary

    “If you stay,” John says, almost to himself, “what’d be the difference this time?”

    His thumb caresses Gale’s cheek, the callus on it catches on the stubble Gale hasn't bothered to shave in days. Gale keeps his breathing steady, letting his decision solidify inside him.

    “What you asked for back then,” Gale says, “I’d give you now.”

    /

    After the war, Gale and John build a life together.

    Summary

    When Pete Mitchell is ten years old, he sets his mind, there and then, that he’s going to be the best goddamn pilot the Navy’s ever seen, and nothing and no one is going to keep him out of the air.

    When Tom Kazansky is twenty-seven, their paths collide, and it makes the world shift beneath his feet. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is not a part of his Twenty Year Plan, but Tom can’t seem to shake him. He stops trying, after a while. It’s the best— and worst— thing that’s ever happened to him.

    Summary

    “It’ll be fun,” Marge says to him over the phone as he’s unpacking another box in his tiny, studio apartment. “I’ve been to a few other classes, it’s a good environment.”

    “It doesn’t sound like my sort of environment, Marge,” Gale says, picking up an astrophysics textbook that pushes the bounds of what a single-handed grip is capable of. It strains the tendons in his wrist as he tries not to drop it on the way to its new home in the built-in bookshelf. The edges of it are bloated, almost rubbery with how many times it’s been painted over in the same shade of white, a few spots chipped away to show rich brown wood underneath.

    “Your sort of environment is on a hill with a telescope, with nobody around.”
