Summary
Earth is dead. The Atlantis Space Station is dying. It’s the year 2443 and Majors Bucky Egan and Gale Cleven, pilots of the USS Odyssey, are tasked with transporting 5,000 civilians to safety before setting off on humanity’s last hope mission to find a new home.
They share a cockpit, a mission and a rank — but that’s where the similarities end. Bucky thinks that Gale’s a stiff golden boy. Gale thinks Bucky’s a reckless pain in the ass. Sparks fly and it’s not from a supernova explosion. The two pilots must find a way to work together to save mankind and ultimately, each other.

Summary
Gale had been raised as one of those wild, unencumbered things—suspended between alpha girl and omega boy, nobody sure just what to do with him yet. Barefoot, dirt-covered, more invested in exploring scrubby hills and empty creek-beds than in the kids around him, it hadn’t mattered until it was all that mattered.
yet another omegaverse retelling of MOTA

Summary
“How refreshing!” Gale sneers. “A straight man who doesn't believe in marriage.”
“I literally just told you that I’m not straight,” John says too loudly, drawing the attention of everyone else in the cafe.
“Then why are you like this?!” Gale begs.
+++
Gale is a serial best man who spends his whole life planning weddings for other people. John is a cynical wedding columnist who thinks that love is a scam. This gives them a lot to talk about.

Summary
John nuzzles behind Gale’s ear to scent him, to do what little gestures he’s allowed under the stifling constraints of military red tape. Holds him while he still can, doesn’t think about flak or fire or Duval’s blood on his hands when his love is here, warm and breathing, keeping him from fading in the dark.

Summary
Those are the times Gale feels like a younger sibling. Other times, he— doesn't, and there really isn’t any one word or phrase that encapsulates how he feels then.
Technically he's known John for almost his entire life. Hard not to put someone like that on a pedestal.
-- Gale has nowhere to go, except maybe his ex-best friend's older brother's place

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
John wasn't expecting to find the most humiliating crush of his life in the college library on a random afternoon, but fate has a weird way of working. It certainly doesn't help that Gale is so hot and so different to what John's used to that he can't stop himself from falling fast and falling hard. And for a guy from Wyoming, of all places.

Summary
Gale fucked up.
Whatever possessed him (his roommate) to participate in rush week was a powerful entity. No one ever convinced Gale to do something he didn’t want to do.
Benny was terribly convincing though. Especially with his line about Greek life looking good on resumes and being a great networking opportunity.

Summary
John Egan has known Gale Cleven forever. Bruised knees, baseball games—though Gale never played, despite John’s (usually very convincing) puppy-dog eyes—and whispered jokes under the covers. They grew up side by side, best friends without question.
But the day they move into their shared college dorm, something clicks. Or maybe it snaps.
John looks at Gale and suddenly understands the thing that’s been sitting in his chest for years. The way he’s always noticed him. Needed him. Chosen him. It wasn’t just friendship—it never was.
Now, everything feels different. And impossible. And like it might ruin everything.
Fuck.

Summary
When John Egan meets his mate, it’s instant certainty. The world brightens to high saturation, the air sings of bliss. His heart swells with a profound ardour he can never go without again.
When Gale Cleven meets his mate, it's a body slam into awareness. His heart expands against his ribs to the point of breaking, squeezes the air out of his lungs. It's making room for his alpha before he's ready to receive him. And then the man opens his big mouth and breaks the spell.

Summary
Summers were always Bucky’s favorite time. He enjoyed the freedom to roam around all day, he even liked the heat – but most of all, he loved it because summer meant Gale.
Gale has been spending his summers in Manitowoc and naturally became Bucky's favourite person (aka, the summer 17-year-old Gale had a growth spurt and made his best friend Bucky speed-run his bisexual awakening).

Summary
They'd both known it would come. It was as Marge had said the evening before, they'd all kissed each other hundreds of times - as part of productions, or drunkenly, or just because.
Bucky hadn't thought further about the fact that he would have to kiss Gale for this production, because he'd assumed it would be easy. If he had to choose anyone to kiss in front of a crowd of hundreds of people every night, why would he not choose his best friend?
In their last term at Dellecher Classical Conservatory, Bucky and Gale get cast as the lead roles in one of Shakespeare's least staged problem plays: Troilus & Cressida. If the play is a success, they could be discovered as emerging talent and change their lives forever.
But as Gale grapples with the pressure of potential and Bucky has to come to terms with the fact that the best time of their lives is coming to an end, the lines between actors and characters begin to blur - and they need to figure out if they are only lovers while on stage...

Summary
When John gets cast as the lead in the movie adaptation of Buck Cleven's debut novel, he takes it as a sign that his stagnant career is growing. Only the author, who seemed to like him enough to sponsor his casting, all of a sudden despises him.
And why does Buck look so freaking familiar?Bookmarked by AustinButlerfan

Summary
John pulls out his zippo lighter and unsuccessfully flicks it, finger missing the flint wheel rivet several times. Growling, he takes the cigarette out of his mouth and glares at Brady. “Do I look like a damn sailor? We’re trained to fly up in the air, not row row row gently down the stream.”
“We’re not pilots anymore,” Brady snaps, “Not right now, anyway. You can’t keep living in Crosby’s car."
