nurse, Buck is being horny again

"Abandoning his battle against himself John lays down in the grass with a sigh, body stretching long and lean. Shiny sweat was gathered at his hip bones, the red lines of his stomach and slicked his chest hair flat. Gale had an image of swirling his finger through the wispy curls, knotting them between his fingers and giving a sharp tug until John moaned."

Gale W. Cleven wasn’t a man of many words, that was the very first thing John noted about the pretty blonde. Gale didn’t like to talk, he liked to observe. It gave him more control over the environment, more of a handle on situations. It came in especially handy with their nights out. Before Curt, before Benny and before Hambone he just egged on other men in the bar alone. He would back himself into corners, get into brawls and come back to base with a fresh black eye atleast once a month. It annoyed Buck to no end, he tried to help but to often the hot-headed brunette would run from his careful watch and get lost in the crowd. To Bucky, it was a game, ‘how long will it take for Buck to find me’. The record was 5 minutes.

or After the war John and Gale try to run from each other, and instead end up in the same town time and time again.

the lucky deuce makes a return, and there's a cat.

postwar!levi x reader

You're preparing for the event, which requires formal clothes.

You're watching how Levi is trying to fix his white ascot. He's been fighting with that piece of fabric for a few minutes now, still not satisfied with the result. You can almost sense his frustration in the air. You always can. And you also know that he won't ask you for help. His pride will never allow him.

You're getting up from the chair and coming closer. You look at his mirror image, your eyes meet, and you smile a little before speaking:

“Let me help you.”

Levi doesn't say a word, but he turns to you, giving you a free hand. You focus on the task, and slowly take care of this, everything must be perfect, the way he likes it.

You feel his eyes on you, focused the same way on your beauty as you're on the ascot. You're almost blushing; even after all this time, his gaze makes you feel weak on your knees.

When you've done, you look at him, putting your hand on his cheek and tracing his scars with your thumb.

“You look really handsome,” you whisper.

“Tch...” You know Levi resists the urge to roll his eyes.

“I mean it!” You assure him, and to confirm it, you give him a sweet kiss. You feel how he relaxes at the touch of your lips.

And when you pull away, you see he's even more handsome than before. His skin gains some color, and he has happy sparkles in the eyes.

“We should go,” he says. “We can't be late.”

You nod. Levi takes the cane in one hand, and he gives you the free arm. You grab it, and both of you leave the room, looking like the most beautiful couple in the world.

helter skelter in a summer swelter

Sledgefu, Vietnam War/Roadtrip AU

In 1967, desperate to take part in his generation’s great war, nineteen-year-old Eugene Sledge defied his family to join the Marines, completely unaware that this decision would completely change the trajectory of his life.

In 1973, twenty-five-year-old Eugene Sledge finally felt as if he were getting his life back together again when, after five years of silence, Snafu Shelton appeared on his doorstep in Brooklyn with a question: “You ever seen the Grand Canyon?”

Coming to an AO3 near you January 9, 2025!

when one of them got to go home earlier and is waiting for some news from the other who's still at war, and when he comes back, instead of going home, he goes straight from the ship to the train station to end up at his front door and never leaves. good stuff!

Never a Romione shipper but tbh, love Harry and Ginny or at least the potential of them. It always irked me to no end that JK Rowling reduced Ginny to "hot cool girl who likes Quidditch" when, in reality, that girl's been through some stuff. There was so much missed opportunity here for them to bond on a deeper level i‘ll be mad forever. Hello?? She knows what it's like to have Voldemort in her head, she was possessed for like a year at ELEVEN. That's insane, only to be brought up literally once

This is what I'm talking about with Early Installment Weirdness! The transition from children's book to Y/A involves a major pivot in how serious you can be about the almost-dying stuff. Plus, if you take it on face, Chamber of Secrets is by far the darkest book. The main plot is a slasher thriller stapled onto a murder mystery. There's an 11-year-old girl being possessed by a malignant spirit. There's a dead girl haunting the bathroom. Threats are painted in blood in the walls. Dumbledore warns Hogwarts might have to "close forever." Harry's hallucinating a whispering voice in his head saying "hunt, hunt" and "kill, kill." It's all gothic as hell and fucking awesome, but also, uh: "children's book"? HEWWO?

This is part of the reason I cut Ginny's possession arc in Lionheart. It's a shame to take a major plot beat away from her, but I didn't feel that Book 3 or Book 4 gave her any space on the page to deal with it, and by the time she loops back around to being a major character in Book 5, it's been two years and the book's so crowded I can't imagine where an arc for her would fit.

‘Hermione, the attendees just survived a war,’ says Seamus impatiently. ‘I think they can survive a piss-up in a creepy old mansion.’

[swifty-fox]

Couple’a kids were putting together a pick-up game of stick-ball. I wasn’t ever really the kinda kid who got asked to play so I said yes.”

hey so i’m actually crying

“So’d those kids invite you back for the next game?”

Buck smiles, wonders again at the steadfast belief John held that Buck was just as likable and good as himself. “Nah.”

“I would have.” John says softly, “I’d teach you how to catch that baseball Buck.”

Oh here wanna cry more

I think the next chapter of Bonds of Trust is going to be the last guys

I feel like it's getting kind of repetitive and stale by way of consequences. Probably there are ways to make it more interesting narratively speaking but I can't think of them and I would rather end on a good note than keep going by rote :/

You know what this means, right? Leo and Trapper absolutely could've fucked at a medical conference during the war or during R&R. How's that for your Trapper complex, Beej? How's that feel, Hawk?
