thinking about hollywood! clegan au 🤭
John Egan is a beloved actor who had his big break 5ish years ago and been doing a steady stream of hit movies ever since, 2-3 a year over all genres
Hollywood’s heartthrob but also a versatile actor who’s amazing at talk shows, considered very cool but also your grandma’s favorite celebrity
Has always been very private about his life outside of the films, always manages to make a joke out of everything when he’s (often) asked about his personal life, just wants to talk about his dog and whichever project he’s promoting
He’s been connected to a bunch of singers and actors (he loves a good party and isn’t aftaid of physical contact so he’s shipped with pretty much everyone he meets)
The absolute SHOCK that goes through entertainment world when he shows up to a premiere with a beautiful man on his arm
There are some speculations about this being another goof to get everyone confused but the picture of John looking at the man and rounding his arms around the his waist at any given moment on the red carpet go viral in relationship pages (they’re used in the type of pics “if your man doesn’t look at you like this…”)
Internet detectives quickly discover the man’s Gale Cleven, a publicist at the firm that represents Egan (not his publicist tho they keep work separate from their relationship)
He’s considered one of the best in the industry but hates spotlight and has stayed away from the media completely so far
However… After dating for 5 years John popped the question and Gale said yes, and as a part of their deal with how to deal with all of that Gale allows John’s long-awaited dream of being able to scream his love from the rooftops
He wasn’t kidding either, every single social media post after that is about how much he loves his fiancé, and the wedding plans are pretty much all he wants to talk about in interviews as well (aside from their dog, of course)
The negative side of it is that the internet also starts to thirst after John’s man and it becomes a new widely shared joke, like everytime John goes to talk shows after that the questions are all centered around ‘Hey, is your fiancé single?’
John is a good sport about it but in private he takes any excuse to mark Gale as his, weather it was a seemingly carelessly placed hand on him any chance he gets or a hickey just visible over his collar and esp when they have sex John never shuts up anyway but now he’s particularly keen on reminding Gale he belongs to him
Gale doesn’t care about the public attention one bit but he loves how happy John is about showing him off, and every time he’s nervous when they’re photographed together John makes sure to make him laugh and relax even on red carpets when everyone is trying to get their attention
The one time they give an interview together the internet goes nuts because Gale is so shy but so sweet and John laughs at everything he says and the two of them are just so clearly smitten with each other people can’t help but root for them
It’s also clear form the interview that while Gale hasn’t been at previous premiers or public outings he’s John’s work’s biggest fan/supporter, John’s telling some story about how they managed to keep their relationship secret while also living an active life like ”Oh and while I was doing promo for this project Gale lived in London with me” and Buck’s always very nonchalantly like ”No actually it was for this project dear” because he’s more aware of John’s work than he is and John will always tease him like ”oh you’re right thank you baby you’re so smart” and Gale would fail to hide his smile behind his hand

While numerous studies have been conducted on the effects of captivity on other classes of vertebrates, very few studies have investigated the effects of captivity and its related stresses on amphibians. Chronic stress results in elevated levels of corticosterone (CORT) released from the adrenocortical cells, which in turn result in hyperglycemia, anorexia, and changes in behavior.
–
“Do you remember my name?” Gale asks him quietly, hesitantly. He thinks he won’t be angry, if John doesn’t.
“Gale. Cleven.” John’s breath is warm on Gale’s belly. “Never got the middle name, I don’t think.”
“Winston.”
“Condolences.”
Gale huffs a laugh. John’s hair looks soft, a little extra shiny with sweat and grease, but still nice-looking. It’s soft under his fingers as he cautiously reaches out to touch it, brush through the strands carefully, thumb smoothing across John’s temple.
“Clarence isn’t better.”
“How do you–”
“Your ID.”
“Did you fuck me because we both have shitty– mm–second names?”

@hogans-heroes’ last fic (So it goes) as well as our little chat 🥰 reminded me of how we talked about an au of our bb buckies au with @alienoresimagines 😘 a while ago
While the main au is meant to be full of fluff and cute moments between baby buckies, chick and the 100th, the stalag version was more … angsty (too much fluff required angst to balance it out 😉)
In the original au, both Buckies became children (7 and 4), but here it's only Gale.
(also known as How the 100th POWs learn about Gale's very bad childhood)
Gale becomes a 4-year-old child after his fight with Bucky (to make the situation even more angsty).
After the fight, they're directly called away and haven't had time to talk about what just happened, and so neither of them knows how the fight affected the other.
You can imagine everyone's surprise when the next day, instead of their Major Cleven, they find a young child hiding under the covers, tears in his eyes.
After a moment of panic because “how did a child get in here?”, “what are they going to do? ”, “and... and... and....”, Bucky approaches and asks him his name.
The answer is a shy little “My name is Gale 🥺”
It only takes 30 seconds for everyone in the barracks to adopt him on the spot (it could have taken less time, but they blue-screened at the information)
After that, you've got a baby!Gale who imprints on Bucky like a duckling and follows him around, stars in his eyes and all shy.
Baby!Gale who sees Bucky's broken nose and shyly asks him with his cute kitten eyes if Bucky “wants him to kiss it better? because Marge's mom says it makes everything better”
Mainly, it's about baby!Gale, who's good as gold all day, never complains and helps everyone (4 dead and 10 injured with his cute little face).
That's the fluff, now let's move on to the angst
Even if they think it's cute and are happy baby!Gale doesn't misbehave (especially in the stalag), there's also something rather unsettling about it
Baby!Gale is too well-behaved. He doesn't cry (too much) or make a scene when he's handed over to strangers (and they're aware that they don't look the most welcoming in this situation and would normally make kids cry more than they'd make them want to be around them, they're POWs, for heaven's sake). He didn't say anything about waking up in an unfamiliar place. He didn't cry at all. Oh yes, he had tears in his eyes, but he didn't scream or make a scene. He didn't say anything about the lack of food or the cold. There's something wrong with how he behaves
At the end of the day, when Gale has been sweet and helpful all day, they ask him if he wants a little something. They expected him to ask for some chocolate (they don't have any but will have negotiated it with another bunkhouse) or the small meatball figurine (the one he spent all day looking at) like kid would normally do.
But instead he asked quite shyly as if expecting to hear them laugh and say no, if his Bucky can hold his hand (or if Gale can sit on his lap) 🥺
And Bucky makes sure to show him that it's not a problem at all and uses it as an excuse to always have him in his lap. The others don't know who likes it more (the answer is both 🤭🥰).
TW: child abuse
****
With Gale's dad being a bad parent and gambling a lot (in this au), it goes like this:
Just before going to sleep Buck asks Bucky, “How much did he sell me?”.
Bucky, completely lost, asks what Buck is talking about.
“Dad, he always said he'd sell me if I didn't behave...” he pauses before adding “but that's okay, I'd rather be with you Bucky”
While Bucky is completely shocked, doesn't know how to react or say and tries with all his might not to burst into tears.
Which also made everyone realize why Gale wasn't all that shocked to wake up surrounded by strangers (and it made everyone cry)
****
Baby!Gale dreaming of his adult life (and his fight with Bucky) 😭
“Are you mad at me Bucky?”
“Oh, baby, I could never be mad at you, why did you say that?”
“In my dream, you were angry and I hit you and I'm sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I didn't mean to 😭😭😭” and Buck bursts into tears.
“Oh, no, no, no sweetie, I promise I'm not mad at you. I'm sorry if I scared you, baby. Come here.”
As they curl up on Bucky's bunk, baby!Buck carefully protected in his arms, Bucky can't help but think that he's never felt more alive in the last few months than during the last days when baby!Gale was looking at him as if he'd hung the stars.
After a moment, Gale softly adds “but it still hurts” and Bucky freezes and starts to panic because what does Gale mean when he says it still hurts? It shouldn't hurt because Buck isn't hurt, right? Bucky'd know if he was, right?
“Where does it hurt, Buck?”
“Here,” and when Bucky looks, he finds a big bruise on Buck's torso/ribs (and some others because of POW's life).
“Since when did it hurts baby?”
“When I arrived.” And that's when Bucky realizes that their fight has left more marks than he thought.
“Oh, Buck baby, why didn't you say something?”
“Daddy doesn't like when I complain.”
The whole bunkhouse tries to hold back their tears and fails miserably when they overhear the Buckies' conversation.
Bucky trying really hard to be strong for his little Buck when he doesn't know whether he wants to scream, hit someone or lock Buck up to protect him from all possible evils (in the end, he decides to hold him tight and carefully).
Also the stress of hiding baby!Buck from the guards (their little sunshine in need of comfort 🥹).
And for extra angst, if the de-ageing is caused by a lot of stress, Bucky would feel so guilty because it means Gale was suffering and he didn't see anything 😭😭😭😭
If you've been through the angst, here's a little more fluff for you
Baby!Buck beaming every time he's called Buck because it's like his Bucky 🥰
Can you imagine how many times the adults had to turn around to calm down after Buck did something because "he was so damn cute"? So many cuteness agressions
you briefly get a taste of what you desire. then isn't death, a worthy price to pay?

Could you give us some insight into how John and Gale’s sex life changes once they have kids and how they navigate that and adjust? Especially with John’s high sex drive/libido. Do they ever have arguments over the lack of sex, etc.? Does it ever make them crabby and short with one another, especially on John’s end? Do they ever take weekend trips or vacations without the kids so that they can have intimate time for themselves to focus on each other? And how does their sex life change from when the kids are babies/toddlers/little kids to when they’re older?
Good question! Things do change, because of all the time, energy and attention children require.
Bucky and Gale have been together for 20 years already when Abby is born, so sex isn’t a big priority in their relationship anymore. It’s not as difficult to give up on it in favour of more sleep, which they desperately need while Abby is a baby. In that initial period, they usually have sex only on the weekends, then 2-3 times a week when she's a bit older.
They have to learn how to be quiet again, and I think that's the most frustrating change to them. But they're really good at having sex even without any words exchanged, they know each other so well. They don’t go all the way as often as they used to, because that takes a long time and it's more difficult to stay quiet than during handjobs and blowjobs. However, they do joke about how the situation is reminiscent of their high school years.
The absolute rock bottom in their sex life is when Matty is born, because then they not only have two children under 5 (one baby), but Abby also brings home all sorts of contagious illnesses from daycare. Then, they only have sex every few weeks. But it gradually improves after that until they're back to 2-3 times a week. I'd say 3 times per week is their average until the kids move out.
They do try to have some time to themselves regularly. It’s a big relief when the kids are old enough to have sleepovers. And every summer, the kids vacation in Milwaukee with Georgia and Neil for a couple of weeks.
They don’t have too many arguments about sex. They're resourceful, so they usually find a way to be intimate if one or both of them are getting frustrated. Sometimes, they have smaller disagreements over what sort of sex they have time and privacy for. Bucky's libido isn’t as high as it used to be, so he’s fine with their 3 times weekly sex. If he's really horny and Gale’s really tired, Bucky just jerks off in bed or in the shower sometimes. This doesn’t bother Gale at all - if Bucky does it in their bed, he likes to curl close to Bucky, stroke his chest and whisper encouragement in his ear.
big fan of seeing Austin be a little crazy with it again and maybe this will inspire an au where Gale is kind of a freaky deak maybe a stalker or murderer or smth and John's the doctor that gets obsessed with his fucked up mind..... hm
