    Summary

    “I should’ve let you jump.”

    “Wasn’t ever me that was jumping, Bucky.” They pass a sign that reads Wrong Way Go Back. “’S just for as long as it takes. You’ll be tucked back between your silk sheets eventually.” He hits the brakes with a wrenching screech, and when Bucky casts around for something familiar, he realizes they’ve just circled the block. Someone lays on their horn behind the Jeep, but when it becomes clear that they aren’t moving, blazes past with a pointed rev of their engine. Bucky stares at Curt across the console, and Curt grins back, impervious to Bucky’s rage.

    “What are you, the Ghost of Christmas Could Have Been? Ghost of Christmas Your Ticket’s Punched? I already know what I’m owed, I don’t need the goddamn glimpse.”

    “Tell you what: when you’re ready, you ring a bell. You’ll know the right time.”

    Bucky snorts. “And you’ll get your wings, that it?”

    --

    Ten years after a breakup, Bucky gets a glimpse of what could have been if he'd never ended things with Gale Cleven. Also, it's Christmas.

    Inspired by the film The Family Man (2000)

    Summary

    "You got a name?" the man asks. They're almost of height. He's got cedar brown hair and is slimmer than Gale, but in a way that speaks of nature and genes instead of deliberate starvation.

    Gale says, "Buck."

    "I'm Paul. That your real name, Buck?"

    "No," Gale says, and feels like he's lying.
