  5. Summary

    A character study of my favorite ships (and gen relationships) through the lens of Queerness in 1970's America, featuring lavender marriages, deeply-closeted people finding their freedom to be themselves in whatever way suits them best, and a lot of 'outdated' language and community aspects that I'm very fond of and feel a connection to.

    Summary

    "He still married?"

    "He's married," John says after a pause. "Yeah, he's married, you could say that."

    Clearly there's something Harry is missing. He's shrewd enough to pick up on that, but not much else. The foil label on his beer bottle peels away easily when he scratches at it, considering whether or not to delve further.

    Summary

    “You’ll manage, Bucky,” Gale says before he can think better of it, and when John looks up at him with eyes wet and glistening, he wishes he could take it back. Maybe not just the cold, then.

    “I’ll manage?” He sounds level at least, hot drunk but no different to normal. A little edge, a little rasp.

    “Without ‘im. I know it’ll be—But you’ll manage.” John’s answering scoff has a meanness in it, and he does look down again, but thankfully he doesn’t stop walking.

    “I’ll manage. Yeah, I’ll manage. I’ll manage without him, because I managed before, that right?”

    “That’s right.” Gale’s murmuring again, and you don’t grow up in Wyoming without learning how to soothe a horse, and somehow that’s the voice he’s using right now. Tempted, even, to soothe like he would a horse: hand rubbed broad along John’s flank, cupping his neck like he’d cupped Gale in the pub, rubbing solid and firm. Might quiet those jitters, still jittering even though John’s trudging along with his sight on the ground, trying to sniff away his wet eyes.

    Summary

    “Still no better singer than I am a dancer.”

    “I’m tryin’ to teach you,” John says.

    All humour dies in Gale’s throat as John begins to move. He changes position, tucking one arm beneath Gale’s neck, and with his other hand he pulls him closer by his waist. With John’s thigh still between his, Gale can feel the contours of his hips against his own. The thin layers of cotton pyjamas separating them are not enough.

    “Then just sway a bit. Like this.”

    Summary

    When Gale smashes a backhand, and Egan lunges for it, but the quick bounce spins it just past his racket, he stumbles, catches himself on his hands with his racket clattering against the hard court, and he starts laughing, wet and winded—laughing still as he straightens up, cheeks reddened, glistening under the sun. He scrubs the back of his wrist, his black sweatband, over his forehead.

    “See? You love it when I make your dad mad.”

    “Egan,” Gale warns, but all the authority is lost in his panting. Egan wipes his forehead again, racket tapping his thigh.

    “Missed playing with you, Buck.”

    “We played two weeks ago, in Cincinnati. C’mon, still your serve.”

    ---

    Gale meets John Egan at a Challenger in Bordeaux when they're both 19 years old. After that, he can't seem to shake him. But what's more is, despite what his dad says about Gale's game, and what the commentators say about their rivalry, and what he's been told about tennis his whole life, Gale doesn't think he wants to.
