Thirsty Thursday

In honor of Thirsty Thursday, here is a lil convo between our favorite agent and our favorite intellegence officer while in...you guessed it....a bar. 

Casus Belli updates coming soon, I PROMISE! 

Casus Belli: “you cannot get blood from a stone” 

Coming Soon

“Careful, Nixon, start getting too nosy and they’ll slap your wrist too,” 

“They? Who’s they?”

“Them,” I waved my hand all around us. “Don’t you know the walls have ears?”

“No,” Nixon said. “What kind of world are you been living in?”

“Very different from yours, apparently.”

“How so?” 

“You like expensive whiskey, you smell like expensive aftershave. Your accent screams of entitled country home summers and townhouse winters.” ...“Let me guess, trust fund, New England?”

His eyes flashed, giving me my answer.

“You can walk into anywhere and get what you want,”

“Maybe that’s what makes me a good intelligence officer?” He said, furrowing his brow.

“Maybe so,”

“Maybe so?” I found you, didn’t I?”

“I wanted you to find me,”

Update: Casus Belli

Courage lost, all lost: 

Befriending one NCO hadn't done much for my integration into Easy Company but making friends with a second NCO, particularly one as liked and respected as Bull had tipped the scales in my favor. He had escorted me back to the town where I was greeted by, I wouldn't call them friendly, but civil paratroopers. My helmet was lost in the mix, they saw me for what I truly was. Not the wayward paratrooper but as a woman.

Early-ish update for my birthday tomorrow! I’m on Fall Break right now and I was able to drive home to visit my family for my birthday. I am updating Casus Belli from my childhood bedroom where I wrote A Little Discord (the first iteration of Casus Belli) and it’s the loveliest bit of nostalgia. Hope you all enjoy the update, it’s one of my favorite chapters with a little Easter Egg to Virginia’s name sake at the end!

Casus Belli Update

blood is thicker than water

The faucet was leaky. A steady, drip, drip, drip was the painfully discernible sound in my housing. Even on the busiest street in London, it audibly kept time. It was a beat of a drum, the ticking of a clock, and the twitch of my eyelids as I stared up at the ceiling. Military-funded housing was lousy at best but better than the ground in Normandy. The leaky faucet could have been the beat of a battlefield, a gunshot steadily tapping out the rhythm of the war that was still waging across the channel. It was a beat that I had been removed from, confined to these four walls.

gods conceal from men

she thought he was a ghost, at first.

maybe that was wishful thinking on her part, to picture him dead. maybe that would have given her some kind of closure. maybe that would have been better for all of them.

WOW WOW WOW Long time no see. I think it’s been almost three months since I posted something on Tumblr, let alone updated one of my stories!! It’s good to be baaaack! 

I cannot promise CONSISTENT updates but I can promise updates....whenever they may be. I want to have all of Part One up and readable by December and I think we are in good shape for that! 

I’ll put out a full update post with more housekeeping and such later but for now, YAY I’M BACK. 

Please please please send an ask, message or carrier pigeon to let me know what you think of the chapter, what I’ve missed, and what y’all have been up to!!!

xoxo,

strike while the iron is hot

For all their appreciation for my assistance on the night of Operation Overlord, or as they began to call it D-Day, it seemed that the Airborne had little use for me. They had their own explosives to dispose of anti-aircraft and with the sun shining down on their helmeted heads, they had no need for my guidance at night. 2nd Battalion had no use for me now and I was but a passenger on their trail to the south.

As Virginia's path crosses with Easy Company's, she is faced with the curiosity of strangers and struggles with not having an assignment. What is an agent to do with no enemy to spy on?

Three days in the same city without orders of my own to disregard. What was a girl to do?

Out of Context Casus Belli

I couldn’t drink, I couldn’t uncover my mother’s secret past. What exactly did the OSS expect me to do with myself?

First and most importantly, Happy Birthday Virginia Carroll

Are you still gonna post the rest of Casus Belli?;)

Ahaaaa

First time I've had an anon about Casus Belli.

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: I'm kinda busy right now but I'll get to it when I can.

The Long Answer: I am in college and finals are approaching, I'm working fulltime while also doing a second job after hours, and I'm also finishing up the draft of my other Band of Brothers fics, Under the Banner. Where do you see the time?

I'm doing A LOT. So, I can't post as much as I would like or as I did during the early days of 2020.

Ginny's story will be retold and I do want to get back to it but I just can't juggle projects like I used to.

I'm also slowly transitioning out of the BoB fandom into other spaces that are more conducive for my mental health while still finishing any remaining projects.

TL;DR: yeah I'm gonna post the rest of Casus Belli, just give me a month or two, lol.

If you wanna be notified when I post next, DM me or send in an ask so I can add you to my taglist

chapter eighteen - like will to like

Sink's battalion had set up their maps and communications with all the hustle and bustle from Sainte-Marie-Du-Mont in an old farmhouse at the edge of town, the back windows looking out onto American conquered land. From the open front door, there were miles of land that only aerial surveillance and French resistance knew hid within its fields.

Colonel Sink was likely tired of seeing me. I had made myself a thorn in Command's side since my arrival, the very presence causing overturned coffee mugs and distrustful looks from couriers and aids. An unknown woman was suspicious in most places but inside of an Army CP, it was positively dangerous.
