Summary
If Eoin McGonigal was taking him, he was going. Eoin might as well have fashioned him a collar and a leash, and Paddy, at most, would have given a cursory, curious tug and come right back to heel.

Summary
David has always been a jealous man. So it is to be expected, though he would never admit to it aloud, that when he first sets eyes on Eoin McGonigal, his honest reaction is vile envy.
"You're alive," David manages.
"So are you," Eoin says. "I take it your parachute survived the drop this time, sir."
OR: Eoin survived the fall, Eve did not, and David will go mad if he has to spend one more day in a prison camp.

Fuck me, he thought, because Corey looked stupidly striking like this. Not that he was bad-looking in the first place, but clean-shaven he looked ridiculously good. What was the word? Younger. Approachable. Attractive.

Summary
"There’s no limit to what John Egan can take. John Egan can take a shovel to the head. He can take a German cigarette. He can take a plane getting shot to hell, plummeting to the ground. He can take Air Exec as long as he can shove it up Hap Arnold’s ass. He can take the loneliness and the jealousy and the rage and the stupid fucking war and these stupid fucking Nazis and the goddamn cold and the feeling he gets sometimes, the absolute certainty that hits him like a bullet every so often, that he’s already dead, and this is Purgatory.
He can take it all. He can take it when Buck says he won’t escape, won’t even think about it, because he wants to make it back to Marge alive — to hell with John, already dead and rotting in front of him. He can take that, too."
In which John Egan wants and wants and wants.

“Nah,” Manco smiles. “What, would you like me to?”

Summary
John Irving is a man, conflicted; by his duty, his needs, his desires, and his place among the men. He finds some comfort on Sundays, when he hosts a small study for himself and the men. It may be a poor imitation of Sir John's Divine Services, but there is a distinct shift when Seaman Hartnell joins him one Sunday in late November.

Summary
He shook his head once more, eyes flitting to the bible by his side. Still opened, he closed it. His fist curled atop its cover and he let his thumb caress a line down its spine. Like this, he thought. I would touch him like this or not at all.

It's not the long journey I'm dreading to go, nor leaving this country for the deeds that I owe, there's nothing that grieves me nor troubles my mind, like leaving pretty Saro, my darling behind

"I could kiss you, Kid, I really could.”
This isn’t the first time Butch has said something like that. Actually, Sundance can’t remember the first time Butch said it. It’s always been a joke, a little passing comment, and he’d sigh and roll his eyes and Butch would give him that same old grin, those same bright eyes, and they’d stumble on along through whatever they happened to be in the middle of.

Summary
Eleven years is enough to set a man’s life firmly in stone and in damnation. Eleven years is enough to wear down a man enough to listen to the first person who says he should do better, and, after seven days, want to agree.
Tsukishima is a bad man. Koito isn’t, as much. They wait in the kotan for their prey to flee.
Illustrated vers/non-illustrated vers.
