So I’ve been doing some thinking, none of it very chaste and much of it illogical, and not a bit of it remotely profound but hear me out:
If we were to assume that the Trust Universe shared the same multi-verse as Parting Gifts…
…that would mean we’ve got two men in the 100th, Brady and Bucky, who (at least for a time in the case of Egan) kept it in their pants while being very generous to their crushes.
Which brings me to the entirely inane conclusion that such a fact makes these two particular men at Thorpe Abbots really eager for the damn showers to clear out for some alone time. One reminiscing of honeyed stateside indulgences and the other of more recent stargazing.
And I just wanna imagine the hilarity of running into each other just when they plot and plan and scheme for the showers to be all theirs.
Marina!!!! I still am not over how you dropped this in my inbox in the middle of the night 🫠

I feel like Brady had the shower routine down first. After all he’d been fighting his urges with his sweetheart for weeks and then was wrenched from her arms and drowning in memories.
And slipping into the tiled space at odd hours worked great in Nebraska, in Utah. All the other boys were happily getting their rocks off in warm-blooded women while he’d relegated himself to his fist from the start. Ah that damn Catholic self-deprivation!!!
While Egan favours a one-handed style, I see Brady preferring to get both hands in on the action? Leaving no part of his nether reaches neglected, particularly those remarkable balls.
When he’s alone, he’s alright at being quiet, he has yet to discover just how loud you can make him. That’s a treat for his victorious return stateside after the war 😉
But after arrival at Thorpe Abbotts, there’s new ground to learn, and then all of a sudden that womanizer Egan with his voracious appetite isn’t just taking what he wants, he’s trying to take over Brady’s sanctuary?!
He’s on his way to a mid-evening shower, a time that’s rarely been a conflict before, only to see all 6’2” of Egan casting surreptitious glances about and not at all subtly sliding into the shower hut before the thunk of the lock sounds.
A major pivot is required and utilizing his knowledge of the Major, Brady settles on morning trips down memory lane. Those days he’s not on missions, when everyone else is at breakfast and Egan’s either in the air, operations room, or still in bed - that’s how he avoids what would surely be an awkward encounter for them both.
Would be rather adorable to see their bright red cheeks and ears though….🤭
Okay so. Bucky has his “drunk dial” equivalent to ACORN with his first letter to her. But do any of the guys get a similarly whacky letter from their ladies? I’m just imagining you’re up late, you’re wasted, you’re missing your man, and hey, maybe you’re normally a little quiet but a war’s on and fuck it? Sends your unsuspecting lover a rambling, semi-raunchy letter. Wakes up hungover and mortified. Prays it gets lost forever. It doesn’t. I can imagine the boys having wildly different reactions (though all are very appreciative) but that letter is getting read so many times by the time they’re back stateside it is so worn down it’s about to disintegrate😘
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD THOUGHT!!
Oh I’m gonna have to give this its due consideration. First off, thanks to Steph @steph-speaks and I’s fevered brains, I now have a headcanon that Hambone and his wifey weren’t super close or romantic when he left, having married for practical reasons. So the letters are the catalyst for them learning and loving each other across the miles. But if there were many things you didn’t know about Howard Hamilton, ya sure as hell knew what the man felt like inside you -and after hearing Margaret Blakely and Jean Crosby titter about their well spent leaves with their stateside men, perhaps Hambone gets a letter that warms him up better than any soup.
She repents it mightily next morning but it’s sent and gone. When he comes back, you best be sure he’s not forgotten it a bit. Executes in vivid detail and with great improvisation, certain passages from it.
Secondly, I like to think John Brady has a good and sensible and modest gal waiting for him but -she’s been waiting a long time and the memory of him is just as sharp and tantalizing as ever, and so maybe she writes a little too rapturously one late evening at her desk about marrying him and having permission and such. It’s very vague but it’s very full of longing and his cheeks are on fire by the end of it.
Do we think Brady’s rosary beads are sticky and maybe smell like her?…
MARINA 💀
I recognize I already screamed at you in your DMs but I feel like this needed to be reiterated.

I think…based on our naughty little chat after you sent this…I think they are 🫣
It wasn’t intentional, truly, Johnny simply stumbled through his regular bedtime routine of prayers immediately following the exhausting exhalations of your body, tucking the beads given to him by his grandmother upon his confirmation back into the drawer of his nightstand and passing out into deep sleep.
And this repeated over the course of your first week of married life until Sunday morning when he went to grab his rosary for Mass and upon opening the drawer in a room not filled with the hazy scent of sex he is immediately struck by how much they smell like you. How the beads have grown tacky to the touch, things that are glaringly evident in the harsh light of the Lord’s day.
Cue a frantic search for another rosary to take with him to Mass, through the boxes he hasn’t quite unpacked, thankfully finding one from his parents upon his high school graduation. Those become his church beads. The others? They stay right where they are, soaking in your slick and your scent - the perfect talisman for any time he’s missing you. 😏
okay level with us…. 👀👀 is John Brady better with his hands or with his mouth? 🤭🤭
Nonny, nonny, nonny…. What a question!!

Honestly this is somewhat like asking what part of a bike is better- the wheels or the seat?! ALSO there is the complicating factor of pre-deployment vs post-homecoming encounters!
But let me begin with a fantastic point that darling Battie (@lostloveletters) made last night -
As a good Catholic boy, he most certainly says grace before he goes down on you 🤭
(If you’re not reading her series of Brady fics yet, you should be!!)
Now those few short weeks you have with him in Iowa early in your relationship are marked by a shortness for time and real lack of privacy. He’s trapped in barracks, you’ve got a roommate - it’s tricky to find space to yourselves for long. Therefore whatever pleasure he’s giving you is subject to time constraints.
So even when he’s using his mouth, his fingers are also involved, switching off between toying with your clit while his tongue plunges into you or thrusting against that spot that has you seeing stars while he sucks on your clit and pulls the air from your lungs.
In terms of speed, he can get you off faster with his fingers, but you do tend to cum a little harder when he has time to put his mouth to work too.
But after the war?! When you two have a home of your home and all the time and privacy in the world, he really likes to take his time with you - making up for all those months you were kept apart.
If you thought he was a tease before - you are both shocked and pleasantly surprised at how long he’ll draw it out, only using his lips and tongue to drive you utterly mad, dangling you on the precipice for what feels like hours before employing those well-trained fingers to utterly destroy you and the bedsheets.
So really the answer is both are equally talented and regularly employed to your benefit!
came here to give my 2 cents about brady being better with his fingers or mouth... but there's something about musicians... they have sooooo much control over their fingers, and i imagine that john as a saxophone player also has some incredible mouth abilities 😋
Oh nonny…😮💨
Firstly, thank you for your patience, and the patience of all the Ladies Who Brady (gender neutral) while I worked on the first part of The Only Truth. Now that I’ve got that posted, I can tuck into these delicious morsels!

Goodness yes!! Our man plays reed instruments - both clarinet and saxophone. There is so much lip, tongue, jaw technique involved in this that most definitely translates directly to his oral skills.
He does not tire nearly as quickly as others, or can ‘play through’ the aching jaw to reach his goal. Fine movement adjustments? No problem, just give him the right cues.
Same to be said for his fingers. The span between the keys of a saxophone demands dexterity and strength in each of his digits and well - lucky you
And let’s not forget the offshoot benefits of rhythm, pacing, and an ear for the subtle changes in the pitch and urgency in your moans.
omg your brady posts got me thinkin… john brady with a singer reader? that man would eat that shit up 👀👀
Ok but now my mind is spinning because he’d love that, it would be so healing and such a thing to bond over. I need this! At the very least I’m going to be thinking of him and Julie Jean nerding out together over arrangements. ☺️💋
