Summary: Twenty years after the end of the Korean War, Hawkeye and the other members of the 4077th MASH reunite in Korea.

Originally published in @mashfanzine2022, the 50th Anniversary Zine. I thought it would be fitting to post it for my 5th anniversary and 100th story.

Dedicated to every person who has made my life better in the past five years, who I wouldn't have met if not for this show. 💜

M*A*S*H OC TIME

I love being a silly nerd! Literally just a self-insert

I literally just thought to myself "What if I was in the compound? What if I was a silly little bean along with the rest of them?"

NAME: Marieanne "Mutt" Wolfe

Age: 28

Gender: AFAB, presents otherwise, depending on the day. Pronouns are anything- she'll respond to she/her but secretly loves being referred to as male (ooooh lore)

Height: 5'4

Weight: 200

Physically Characteristics: Caucasian with a dark complexion, her dad was half-Latino. Dark brown shoulder length hair and light brown eyes, closer to amber. She has wide hips and a smaller chest. (Can't wait to get art of them aghhhhh)

She's from Georgia, her accent shows as much- not long and drawn out though, she refers to it as "hick." Was raised in the middle of nowhere- the closest small town was 30 minutes away, so her family mostly made their living off their farm. She's used to having close to nothing, so certain things about the compound- the ass tasting food, the terrible sleeping arrangements- she's used to, and takes in stride. This also causes her to have quite a positive outlook, as she's mostly a very positive person- much to a few others' contempt. Hobbies: Back home, she was quite different from her family- she loved to read and study, especially anatomy, botany and fauna as well. She also enjoys studying different religions and cultures- she always dreamed of travelling the world. She loves to sketch the makeup of different flowers and animals in her journals she keeps- although her family rebuke it as a waste of time. They were taught that work was their only livelihood.

She enjoys studying and music quite a bit- her grandmother immigrated from France- and brought over her taste for classical- especially Satie and Debussy. She distinctly remembers listening to them while her mother baked bread in the kitchen.

Because of her upbringing- she always strived to be better. On trips to Savannah as a child she would watch the high-class ladies walking down the street, and wanted to be like them. At age twelve she made it her meaning in life to graduate high school, make it to college and become something greater.

She achieved that dream; sort of. She graduated high school with a high GPA, much to her fathers' disdain. He threatened her life, and her mother was angry at her for even thinking of leaving the farm to go to a University. She applied- behind her parents' backs... and left them after her father threatened to beat her.

She graduated from Duke University- with a specialty in Neurosurgery, a minor in Religion. She achieved her dream- but lost her family at the same time...

She still carries parts from home with her. She loves nature, loves to bake and still likes to study botany in her free time. Oh, and she carries a stuffed yellow rabbit given to her by her grandmother.

She considers herself to be very religious. Her family raised her Southern Baptist- but she found the tradition there a bit unsettling. After studying several different religions, even dabbling in Paganism, she was drawn back to Catholicism- at first, strictly out of admiration for the aesthetics of it. She considers herself to have Catholic beliefs, although she's not confirmed, and even wears a rosary on her belt. She's still studying and making up her mind about her religion.

FRIENDS AT THE 4077

Radar O' Reilly- Radar is one of her best friends at the 4077- they first bonded on their shared backgrounds of growing up on a farm. As they get to know each other, they even share their love of stuffed animals- as she brought a stuffed rabbit from home. She enjoys helping him with his animals and worm farm too.

Father Mulcahy- He is probably her best friend there. Coming in, she dropped her rosary and Mulcahy retrieved it for her. She goes to his services every Sunday- and they even started a Bible Study together. He helps her a lot in her study of religion and offers to help her with her complicated past and religious trauma. They love analyzing Bible stories and theology, she especially loves quizzing him about the Catholic church and the Saints. They also have Biblical inside jokes they like to confuse other people with.

Margaret Houlihan- They are just complete girls together. Marieanne respects Margaret as if she were another surgeon and they hit it off right away. They enjoy sitting in each others tents, gossiping, and making terrible cocktails out of whatever they can find.

Charles Winchester- These two are definitely frenemies to begin with- He especially made fun of her for her upbringing, and she makes fun of his, name calling and all. She genuinely hates him at first… After some time together though, he becomes pleasantly surprised at her neurological expertise and her love of classical music. He becomes very intruiged by her, and her with him- She always wanted desperately the lifestyle that he gets to live- and he is surprised by her own interest in him, and how some "redneck swill" could EVER be interested in the same things. They become very unlikely friends, drinking tea and listening to Mozart sometimes. And of COURSE giving Hawk and BJ a hard time.

5. L. Rizzo- They get along, both from the deep south. They mostly enjoy making fun of all the "damn yanks" at the compound. He flirts with her offhandedly at first, but once she sets him straight with a swift backhand, they get along. Like siblings, she always makes fun of him for falling asleep and not knowing what the hell he's doing, usually visiting him at the garages to wake him up with a stupid prank.

[onlytheflies]

mash singing in the rain AU where trapper is don lockwood and hawkeye is cosmo brown and margaret is lita limont. henry is the long suffering director who relies far too much on his clerk/unofficial assistant director radar o reilly. hawkeye is a broadway actor who was talent spotted and steals the silver screen, trapper is renowned for his comedy and sleeping with everyone but wants more for his career, and Margaret is a nepo baby who's fathers been a top dog in the film industry since the 1920s and she plays into this role until finally deciding she's had enough and demands respect. they star in a film a la the sort of "the philadelphia story" and become the centre of publicity and stardom. sidney is hawkeye's agent. klinger is also there. i have to write it

Sweet dreams, Radar

Some sweet comfort for day 6. Takes place during season 1 M*A*S*H. Hawkeye and Trapper help Radar cope with nightmares. Yes, this is an alt prompt.

           “Good morning, Radar,” said Hawkeye as he sat down at a table for breakfast. No answer. “Hey Radar, I said good morning.” He shook him a little and Radar bolted upright from laying his head down on the table.

           “Huh? Oh… sorry Hawkeye, what did you need?” he yawned.

           “Just was greeting you, kid,” he said, “how come you’re so sleepy?”

           “Oh… I don’t know… maybe if I eat this stack of pancakes I’ll have more energy,” he said, digging in to his breakfast. He ate slowly, gazing off into the distance and yawning a couple times. Once he finished eating, he laid his head on the table again. Other members of the 4077th were cleaning up and leaving, but Radar stayed there.

           “Hey Corporal! Don’t you have work to do?” said Frank. Radar snapped out of his sleepy state and stood up.

           “Work… yes! Yes sir! I’ll go to work!” He grabbed his food tray and gave it back to the cook, then made his way to his office. There, he took care of some papers and brought them to Henry to be signed.

           “Ah, thank you Radar. Now, I need those supply forms,” said Henry. He paused for a moment, he was expecting Radar to hand him the exact forms because of his uncanny psychic ability. But nothing.

           “Oh! Forms? I’ll get them for you, sir,” said Radar, after taking a moment to process the request. He went back to his office and looked for the papers, but he couldn’t focus. He yawned. Maybe if I slept… wait, no. No… don’t wanna sleep. Just head down…

           He woke up to Henry’s hand on his shoulder. “What’s the holdup, Radar? I asked for those forms an hour ago!”

           “I… I closed my eyes for two minutes,” said Radar, his glasses askew as he sat up, “what did you want again, sir?”

           Read my mind… supply forms… Henry thought to himself, as if he was testing to see if Radar’s ESP  was working, like it was a symptom of disease. There was silence.

           “Oh! Um… supply form B. Three copies.”

           “Supply form… D… Sir, I don’t think that’s a thing…” he mumbled as he looked through the papers.

           “No, no, son, B. Like bravo.”

           “Ah! Here you go sir,” he said sheepishly.

           “You okay, Radar? Each day this week you seem to be more sleepy,” he said, taking the forms and making sure they were the right ones.

           “Oh! I… I didn’t notice… s-sorry,” he said quietly, “no… I’m okay.”

           “Okay…” said Henry. He clapped his hand on Radar’s shoulder before he left.

           “Hawkeye, Trapper, I have a problem,” said Henry as the two men stood before his desk. “I need your help.”

           “Depends what it is, but I’m listening,” said Hawkeye.

           “It’s about Radar.”

           “Ah! You’ve noticed too, huh. The poor kid was so tired this morning! Could barely focus and nearly fell asleep at the table.”

           “Oh, it got worse. He fell asleep at his desk… and get this… he’s no longer so… on top of things as he used to.” Henry was, of course, referring to Radar’s uncanny telepathic ability.

           “What would you like us to do, Henry?” asked Trapper.

           “Something’s up with the boy’s sleep and I want to know what it is. But if I confront him directly, I don’t know how he’ll react. So I was wondering if he could sleep with you guys in the swamp… just for a… a couple nights.”

           “And we’re… supposed to watch him sleep?” said Trapper, a little confused.

           “Yes… I mean no! Just… keep an eye on him, alright?”

           “You’re the boss,” said Hawkeye, “we’ll make sure he’s comfortable.”

           That evening, Radar walked into the tent. Spearchucker had volunteered to crash in post-op unless the bed he occupied was needed. So there was a free cot for Radar.

           “Hey, buddy! So glad you could join us!” said Trapper happily as he sauntered in, looking very tired. He was already in his robe and Hawkeye could see him concealing the teddy bear within it. Radar was embarrassed by it and didn’t let people see it too much.

           “Wow, Radar, you look more tired than ever. I was going to offer you a drink, but…” said Hawkeye.

           “Yeahhh… not feeling it tonight. I’ll read some comics.”

           “You know what? An early night always feels good. How about we do that?” said Trapper.

           “That would be excellent. Now pipe down, you three,” said Frank impatiently, “although I’m glad you’ve finally come to your senses about what ‘lights out’ means.” He put his pillow over his head and rolled over.

Trapper and Hawkeye got ready for bed and got settled under their blankets. “You comfy, Radar? Need anything?”

“No sir, I’m good. Just going to read this comic for a bit, okay?”

“Alright. Well turn off the light soon, Radar.” Hawkeye was worried about the kid. Trapper had gone to sleep, but Hawkeye knew that at the first hint something was wrong Trapper would wake up. Hawkeye wasn’t too tired, but he wanted to show solidarity for Radar. He laid there with the light off, thinking about his day, getting ready for sleep. He looked over and saw the kid reading his comic and clutching his bear.

Hawkeye checked his watch when an hour had passed, and Radar still had the light on. He looked over and saw Radar putting in a conscious effort to stay awake. Cocking his head in confusion, he sat up.

“Hey, you gonna sleep? I... don’t like the light on,” said Hawkeye.

“Oh! Oh, sorry sir, I’ll um... I’ll turn it off, yeah,” replied Radar, taking off his glasses and setting the comic aside. He quickly turned off the lamp overhead and rolled over. Within a few minutes he was out. Hawkeye followed, glad that Radar was asleep.

As Radar slept, the dreaded images came into his mind. His family... terrible things were happening... all he could do was watch... “No... no... no...” he whimpered in his sleep, before bolting upright, shaking and sweating and close to tears.

“No! No... no...” he whimpered. Hawkeye and Trapper bolted upright as well. “Radar are you alright?” said Trapper as he rushed over to his cot, Hawkeye right beside him. Trapper put a hand on his shoulder.

“It’s okay, it was just a bad dream,” said Hawkeye. “Deep breath, now.” Radar was scared, but having Trapper and Hawkeye here gave him comfort. Once he was calm, he didn’t want to go back to sleep.

“The nightmares... I don’t want them to come back when I sleep again...” he cried.

“Would you like to talk about them? Sometimes talking about them helps you know

where they’re coming from,” Hawkeye suggested gently.

Trapper handed Radar his bear, which had fallen on the ground. Radar took it and held it close to his heart. “I’ve been having dreams... where terrible things happen to my family... and I’m over here across the sea... and can’t help...” tears threatened to come to his eyes, “I guess... I guess it started after I got that letter from mum. Things are fine... I just started thinking about her more. And that’s when I started to worry.”

“Ah,” said Trapper, “well, sometimes nightmares are our mind’s way of processing feelings like that.”

“I want them to go away...” pouted Radar, “and it’s scary when I wake up all alone in the dark after the nightmare. I hold my teddy but it's not enough.”

“Well Radar, you can stay with us until these nightmares pass!” said Hawkeye, ”I’m sure Spearchucker or even Frank wouldn’t mind trading beds for a couple days.”

“Really? That... that would be nice... you guys are really... helpful,” he said quietly.

“Really,” smiled Trapper, “now, let’s get you nice and cozy.” Hawkeye fluffed Radar’s pillow while Trapper took the blanket and fixed it. He laid it on top of Radar and tucked it in a little.

“Don’t forget your bear,” said Hawkeye, handing him the stuffed toy, “sweet dreams, Radar.”
