Hey there <3

Here's the first summer installment of my A Year in the Life series.

Title: The Crossroads.
Fandom: Band of Brothers
Prompt: Webgott, Don/Buck, or BabeRoe wing!fic would be cool.(for thrillingdetectivetales)

Basically, it's a shameless BabeRoe Supernatural AU. I make no apologies.

BEHOLD! My very first attempt at writing for The Pacific fandom. Part of Heavy Artillery's The Pacific 10th Anniversary Comment Fest! There have been some really awesome fics posted as part of this event, so definitely check that out. :)

Title: Promises to Keep
Fandom: The Pacific
Summary: But Sledge looks at Snafu with those weepy, puppy dog eyes of his, the honey golden specks in the chocolate irises shining in the hot pacific sun, and Snafu feels his resolve crumble.

“Oh, goddamn it.”

OR: The boys find a dog on Okinawa. Sledge wants to keep it.

Welp, here it is!

The third installment of my A Year in the Life series is now up and ready to go!

Title: Of Wounded Medics and Meddling Redheads.
Fandom: Band of Brothers
Prompt: (If it's not too late!) how about Babe/Roe hurt/comfort, where Roe is wounded and is the absolute worst patient ever? (for slightlytookish)

Title: Making Concessions
Fandom: Band of Brothers
For the Loose Lips Sink Ships prompt meme: "Looking after Carwood gets competitive."

For this fortnight's newsletter, LLSS is culling the prompt list. So, this is my attempt to save a prompt I want to write and two I'd like to read.

Title: Stuck in the Middle with You
Fandom: Band of Brothers
For the Loose Lips Sink Ships prompt meme: "Bull likes to be in the middle."

Just a little bit of fluff to get me writing this week while drowning in research for my rarepair exchange fic...!

Hey, folks!

I've finally gotten around to starting the masterlist for my year-long prompt-fill Band of Brothers personal challenge.

Behold!

January: Bull/Johnny: Something where Johnny goes missing and Bull thinks he's dead. Maybe set in Last Patrol? (for: muccamukk)
February: Talbert character studies are always good and he doesn't get near enough love. (for: thrillingdetectivetales)
March: (If it's not too late!) how about Babe/Roe hurt/comfort, where Roe is wounded and is the absolute worst patient ever? (for: slightlytookish)
April: If you're up for it, I would love some Don/Buck, either post-war or during canon. (for: thrillingdetectivetales)
May: Winnix: Something happens during one of those long and uncomfortable nights out on field training. (for: scandalinbohemia)
June: Webgott, Don/Buck, or BabeRoe wing!fic would be cool. (for: thrillingdetectivetales)

prompt: LuzToye + stocking

Day 30: The Stocking.

George waited expectantly, a mischievous glee in his eyes, while Joe assessed his present. The taller man’s face soured as he lifted the offending gift and demanded, “What the actual fuck, George? What the hell am I supposed to do with all of this?”

The bright red Christmas stocking bulged in Joe’s grasp, overflowing with what had to be no less than two dozen tubes of lubricant.

A Santa hat nestled atop his unruly hair, George gave a wicked grin. He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively as he replied, “Don’t worry, Joe. Like Ole St. Nick, I also have a list…”




Welp, folks, the end is nearly upon us. I can’t believe that I actually managed to post every day, especially given the insanity of the holiday season, but I am so happy I did. Thanks so much to everyone who gave prompts! They were all a delight to fill, and I hope you enjoyed them. Also, many thanks to those of you who have followed along daily and to those who have commented. You all are so lovely!

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s final, New Year’s Eve-themed drabble. <3

prompt: Speirton + lights

Day 28: Winter Storm

A winter storm knocked out the power across tree counties that Christmas. Gone was the pretty electric glow of the string lights draped around the tree and windows and the stairwell banister; the lack of artificial illumination left a dull mood in the household until Carwood—lover of fireworks, bonfires, and the like—began lighting candles throughout their home.

Dozens of tiny flames flickered, the candles casting dancing shadows across all surfaces.

“I know it’s not the same—“ Carwood started, sheepishly.

“No, it isn’t.” Ron was swift to wrap his lover in a loose but affectionate hug. “It’s better.”

prompt: Winnix + scarf/mittens

Day 26: Cold Out

Lew has one foot out the door when Dick catches him by the arm and tugs him back inside, leaving the door agape, a cool winter breeze trickling into the house. Dick retrieves a thick, burgundy scarf from the hooks inside the door and proceeds to wrap it once, twice around Lew’s clean-shaven neck. The wool is scratchy against his skin, but it warms him in an instant.

“Cold out.” Dick’s lips twitch as he tucks under the end of the scarf. Lew half expects Dick to hand him the matching mittens, but the redhead knows better.

“Stay warm, Lew.”

prompt: Bull/Johnny + Christmas Feast (this can be seen as a sequel to/continuation of the prompt from Day 2: Bull/Johnny, home for Christmas)

Day 24: Soup, Smoke, then Sex

Bull didn’t have much by way of food at the house when Johnny unexpectedly turned up on his front steps Christmas Eve. In the end, they boiled tins of soup and snacked on pecan sweeties that his mother had given him the day before.

“These aren’t half bad,” Johnny commented somewhere between his second and third handful.

Bull scooped soup into Johnny’s bowl. “Sorry it ain’t much of a Christmas feast.”

But Johnny flashed a tell-tale smirk, unfussed. “Still beats K-rations and the Joe Domingus bean special.”

After dinner, the men shared a smoke. After the smoke, they shared themselves.
