Review: A Fire in Arkansas

By Muccamukk - review by @lamialamia

fandom: Band of Brothers

pairing: Bullmartin

T-rated, 9154 words

Let's go offbrand once again and read a rare pairing in BoB. I adore Bull and Johnny Martin, the classic Gentle Giant with the Grumpy Man. Hey, that height different, am I right?

A Fire in Arkansas is an American Civil War!AU that transported our main characters into a similar environment yet distinct from canon, a backdrop that turns out to be immensely interesting under the writing prowess from an author like Muc.

One of the craziest things about the HBOWar fandom is the level of research a lot of authors poured into their fic, no matter which show, or which pairing. Here in this fic, the insight into this time period and the commitment to historical accuracy shone brightly, without being a dry history lesson. I love how the settings are so vital to the story overall, where the intersection of conflict, loyalty, family, and race serves as an integral part of the story, besides the love story that draws me in.

There is something very distinct in Muc's writing when it comes to setting the landscape of her fics. Very grounded, and atmospheric in a distinct way, something I would consider to be realism and quite raw. That being said, the second thing I love about this fic is the love and gentleness between Bull and Johnny. Their well-worn domesticity portrays a love that is as easy as breathing, as lovely as a kiss, that runs along and props up this fic. Little things they do for each other, the unsaid, the banter that is so old-married. Love me that good stuff!

(yes I have a weakness for old-married-couple dynamics. sue me)

This fic is so underrated honestly. If you ever feel compelled by that long, lingering handshake between Bull and Johnny, this is a must-read!

[beemaya]

Nobody gets invading personal space like these guys.

[lamialamia]

Everytime I rewatch Replacements I think to myself "Damn, Bull is so underrated!"

Guess what happened this time?

[randlemartin]

is replacements the most underrated episode? it balances its ensemble cast perfectly. it's got the winnix head cradling scene. BOOP. one bullet four holes. webster giving the boy chocolate. grant with a big gun. bullmartin epic romance in the time of war.

[flashnthunder]

Hello!! 1, 7, and 23 for the asks!!

hi!! <33

1- favorite character/s and why

probably changes too much, but lipton and bull off the top of my head! i think for similar reasons, i just love the looking-out-for-everyone characters what can i say (also roe)

7- unpopular ship/s you like

peacock/shames because of this fic, it was life-changing?? so imagine the speedrun of every stage of grief at finding there is a microscopic amount of content about them, even individually. a better known one but still criminally underrated ship would be bullmartin

23- any followers/mutuals you would want to talk to more?

(you!!!) @grumpy-liebgott, @sharkboyandlavalieb, @deputy-buck, @educationalporpoises, @lewis-winters all make me smile when they pop up on my dash <33 so i'm gonna pop their names down :)

[lewis-winters]

Love language ask if you’re still doing it: Johnny Martin & Bull? I just think they’re neat :)

This is another rarepair I actually really like, tbh

As always, under the cut.

I think Bull's giving love language is words and his receiving love language is quality time.

Johnny's receiving love language is physical touch. His giving is acts of service.

"But, Ste!" you say, confused. "None of these match up!"

And to that I say; you're right. And that's where the drama starts.

Because Bull is a noble martyr and Johnny would rather die than tell someone, especially Bull, that they are in any way making him unhappy. Mostly because he doesn't want to show vulnerability. But also because he doesn't want to make Bull sad or feel inadequate for something Johnny could totally stomach. So he's also a noble martyr.

They go like this for awhile.

It's like the little prince and his rose. They love each other but don't really know how? Bull keeps telling Johnny that he appreciates him and how lucky he feels to be around him, except Johnny keeps brushing it off and leaving after or thinking it's just sweet words and that Bull doesn't mean it. Johnny keeps offering to do things for Bull, to help him run errands or maybe help him put something together or even just cook for him but Bull doesn't allow him because he doesn't want Johnny to feel like a servant or that Bull is just using him.

And that's hard! Ppl just think that not getting your receiving love language is difficult, but so is not being appreciated for your giving love language-- or worse, being brushed aside or being yelled at for it. It makes you feel very unwanted. And it also just is... uncomfortable. Idk, maybe it's just me, but when I go for too long without hugging or spending time with my people I start to feel restless and unsure in my own bones. I imagine it's the same for them. They have so much love, but have no proper outlet. It sucks.

And that goes on for AWHILE. And neither of them say anything. And it kinda puts a strain on them just a bit but of course neither of them talk about it because they're scared of losing this and they want this to work. By god do they want this to work.

They discover this by accident. Or, well, Bull does, anyway. Johnny nearly slips one day and Bull reaches out to steady him, and Johnny, so starved for touch, fucking hangs on to Bull. He would be embarrassed, but he's been denied for so long that even holding on to Bull's hand for just a few minutes is enough.

Thank god Bull is hyperaware of all things Johnny. He might not be as good at reading him, not until later, but his change in demeanor after that one hand hold is enough for Bull to reevaluate things. He tests the waters, hugs Johnny more, touches him on the shoulder or lets his fingers linger just a little bit on his arm, and finds that the more he does that, the more susceptible Johnny is to listening to Bull compliment him, how he doesn't brush them off as just sweet words now that Bull is proving his feelings through an entirely separate channel. Now, of course, Johnny wants to spend more time with him--more time than they usually spend, anyway. And more meaningful, especially now that Johnny's opening up. And that fulfills Bull's receiving love language just nicely.

Except, he still doesn't let Johnny do anything for him.

Call it Southern gentleman-cy or whatever, but he just doesn't want Johnny to do anything for him. So Johnny, being the blunt weapon he is, now that he's been sufficiently powered up by all the lovin' he's been getting decides; fuck it. And just does things for Bull without asking him. Shines his boots. Brings his uniforms to the laundry. Scrounges some foods for him. Fixes his bag so that there's more space. Bull is confused at first, and maybe a little hesitant, but Johnny seems to be enjoying himself and also cuddling into Bull more every time he finishes a task, so Bull says thank you, he's so lucky to have Johnny, and Johnny fucking beams in delight and oh. Ok. Bull likes that. He likes that a lot.

They figure it out eventually. Took them some time, but they got there.

[himbowelsh]

So I’m making this anonymous only because I don’t want to feel I’m looking for too much attention, but my dog died today completely unexpectedly and I feel like shit 😰 could I pretty please request something with Easy and dogs. If this is not your forte I totally understand ☺️

Oh god, darling, I’m so sorry. Losing a pet is a pain unlike any other, almost like losing a part of yourself...  as much as you’re hurting right now, just remember your dog always knew they were loved, and loved you back just as much. You gave your pup a great life, and wherever they are now, they still love you.

If you’re looking for Easy and dogs, I have a few fics you might like:

baberoe has a dog incident

luztoye has another dog incident

bullmartin and yet another dog incident

winnix has a colorful dog incident (soulmate au!)

not a fic, but a very accurate edit of easy co as dogs

And here’s something soft and puppyish...  hopefully it makes you feel better!

Sometimes people seek out a new pet; sometimes, they have pet-parenthood thrust upon them.

In Joe Liebgott’s case, it happens literally. Someone leaves a wine box on the floor of his cab; he notices a few minutes after he drops the guy off, and he’s just doubling back to try and find him when the box starts squeaking.

Joe almost crashes the car.

As if turns out, the box’s precious cargo isn’t liquor, but...  puppies. An absurd amount of puppies. Mind you, Joe’s never owned a dog in his life, so more than two puppies seems like an absurd amount to him, and there’s gotta be, like...  six in here. Six squirming balls of fur, can’t be more than a few weeks old. Their eyes are hardly open yet. They’re climbing over each other to escape the box as soon as Joe opens it...  but everything they can’t say, the sharpie scribbled on the inside of the cardboard speaks for itself.

FREE PUPPIES, DO NOT RETURN

Which...  shit. Shit. Joe races through all the possibilities in his mind. The guy didn’t give his name, and paid in cash. He dropped him off at the airport. He could be damn anywhere right now!

And god help him if Joe has the first clue what to do with literal infant dogs.

Logic tells him, “go to the animal hospital now,” but he’s never been there in his life  ---  and aren’t those places overcrowded anyway? They’re in the middle of Santa Monica, there’ve got to be multiple animal shelters around, but god help him if he knows where any are...

Joe goes home. He panics, okay?

He has to sneak past the doorman, through the lobby, and into the elevator with a very conspicuous wine box that keeps making noises. The old lady from the fourth floor glares at him the whole ride up, and Joe can only nod his head at her while a tiny head pokes out a hole in the cardboard.

Web isn’t home, for once, because he has a lunch date with his editor; Joe almost wishes he was, because having someone else to bounce off of in this situation would be a great thing. Left to his own devices, however, he does the only thing he can think of; pulls the spare comforter out of the closet, lays it down in the empty bathtub, and dumps the pups in. After some consideration, he adds one of Web’s shark plushies, because the pups are tiny and probably missing their mother.

Their mother...  shit, they need their mom, don’t they? Pups that small can’t be without their mom, he knows he saw that on Animal Planet somewhere...

And, because Joe’s got the panic instincts of a twelve year old boy, he calls the one person who definitely knows what to do with a baby: his mom.

Mama Liebgott makes it to the apartment in twenty minutes. Ten minutes later, she’s setting up a heating pad in the puppies’ nest, while Joe scours the internet for how to care for newborn puppies. Mama calls in the troops  ---  Joe’s sisters are on their way. 

They send Joe out of the apartment with a list; when he comes back, his arms are weighed down with shopping bags, filled with formula, eyedroppers, puppy toys, and anything else little dogs could possibly need. Joe Liebgott is never one to half-ass shenanigans; he goes all-out.

Webster comes home to...  chaos.

Their bathroom has been turned into an improvised NICU, their apartment’s been sanitized and baby-proofed to high-hell, Joe’s mother and sisters are lounging around the living room with tiny bundles of something in their arms...

And in the middle of the chaos, Joe’s standing there, a blanket-wrapped bundle in his arms, bouncing it and cooing softly.

“Yeah, you’re a tough one, arencha, little buddy? Yeah...  I see it in ya. You’re a fighter. We’re gonna take good care of you, I promise...”

He has no clue what the hell is going on, but Webster melts. To the floor. Literally, his legs get a little weak.

“Uh  ---  Lieb? You wanna explain what on earth’s h---  is that a dog?”

Joe just grins. He’s never been an animal person in his life, but now he looks like he’s in heaven. “Dogs,” he declares. “We’ve got dogs, Web.”’

Webster has entered the Twilight Zone.

When they take them to the vet (Webster’s idea, because he actually has common sense), the puppies are given a clean bill of health, but as they’re definitely too young to be separated from their mother, there’s a laundry list of things that must be done to take care of them. The vet offers to take the puppies off their hands, and Webster has a brief moment of overwhelming relief, before Joe answers, “Thank you, but we got this.”

Webster drops his coffee all over the exam room floor. “We?” He demands, too shocked to form a cohesive sentence. “We?”

Joe’s eyes flash. “Fine, Web. You don’t gotta be involved, I’ll take care of ‘em myself. Found ‘em in my car, after all.”

“I live with you, asshole!”

And that’s how Webster and Liebgott become Dog Moms.

Of course Web’s going to help. He’s not a monster. He’s actually a pretty decent person, when push comes to shove...  and, once the Liebgott Crisis Team have all returned to their respective homes, he can’t bear to leave Joe to look after the babies by himself.

The worst part is, he’s not even a dog person. Suddenly, he and Joe are being kept up at all hours by a league of puppies. They’re so young that they can’t eat solid food yet, so it’s a round-the-clock task to keep them fed and looked after. 

Of course, Joe takes to the task like a diligent soldier, following every direction the vet gave them to a ‘t’. He takes a week off work, devoting himself 24/7 to the puppies’ care. It’s a lot on him. By the end of the fourth day, he’s been run ragged, dark shadows under his eyes and exhaustion knitting his brow. Web makes him some tea, settles him down on the couch, and massages his shoulders until Joe falls asleep. Then he takes on the task of feeding all six puppies by himself.

He gets peed on. Thrice.

It’s still worth it. After a few weeks, the puppies don’t need to be fed so frequently...  and they’re growing enough that there’s no more containing them in the bathtub. Joe and Web set up a puppy playpen that ends up taking up most of their living room, and set the kids loose. 

By now, the pups are old enough to wreak havoc, and starting to develop their own personalities. Shelley and Rocko have a talent for getting into everything, Byron is a biter, Goblin has no coordination and keeps tripping over his oversized feet, Fiona cries when either of them leave her alone, and Greg...  Greg is an escape artist. (Bonus points for guessing who named who. They got three pups each.)

Their house becomes a hub of curious friends and relatives. Tab and Shifty are over nearly every day to play with the pups; Joe’s youngest sister Amy keeps coming over too, and Tab won’t stop hitting on her; they wake up one morning to find Luz passed out in the Puppy Pit, tiny dogs clambering all over him, and no one knows how the hell he got in their house. Suddenly Joe and Web are the most popular guys in town.

It’s...  weird. Webster’s never been popular before. He’s not sure he likes it.

Weeks turn into months, and at some point, the pups are big enough to clamber around the apartment unaided. The vet estimates they’re twelve weeks old now, and keeping them inside is becoming a big challenge. Their building doesn’t allow dogs, for one, and they have to keep sneaking them past the concierge; potty training is becoming a living nightmare; and frankly, the dogs are getting too big to be cooped up inside all the time. Six newborn puppies is one thing, but six growing dogs...  different story.

They need to get rid of the dogs.

Thankfully, they’ve got no shortage of volunteers. Joe’s mom takes Goblin “for protection”, even if Goblin’s the clumsiest little monster that’s ever walked the face of the earth. Luz and Rocko have bonded, so he takes him home. Tab would probably adopt them all if he could, but since he can’t (Trigger is a handful already) Shifty lovingly takes on Shelley. oddly enough, Speirs has formed a special attachment to Fiona, cradling her like a baby and doting on her ever chance he gets, so he gets her. Rocko is a little evil, but he’s cute, and Nixon is a sucker for a cute face, so he gets the chaos demon.

That leaves them with Byron. Freaking Byron.

“Figures we’d get left with the one dog with the worst goddamn name  ---”

Joe has a soft spot for Byron. They both like to bite things, growl when they’re angry, and pass out in strange places, so it’s a great fit.

Letting a dog into their lives wasn’t something either of them planned on; but sometimes fate intervenes, and you never know when it will be for the better.

Cuddled up on the couch, with Joe dozing against his shoulder and Byron a heavy weight between them both, Web finds that he doesn’t regret a thing.
