New Prompts this Issue

Band of Brothers

BAND OF BROTHERS, Donald Malarkey/Joseph Toye, They get a cat.

BAND OF BROTHERS, Lewis Nixon/Richard Winters, Dick's only vice is ice cream. He'd do anything to have some during the war, but no such luck. Lew's confidence in his scrounging abilities isn't unfounded though. He gets Dick his precious ice cream.

Generation Kill

GENERATION KILL, Brad 'Iceman' Colbert/Nathaniel 'Nate' Fick, Post-Canon where Brad and Nate have an amicable break-up when Brad leaves for England, but they stay friends and inevitably end up gravitating towards each other. Both agonize about being the first one to suggest getting back together.

Colonel Kink's Theme of the Fortnight

In honor of the upcoming Lunar New Year, the theme of the fortnight is New Beginnings. As always the theme is open to interpretation, but consider filling prompts including ideas of fresh starts, second chances, or seeing something old in a completely different light.

(Fills matching this theme will be worth two points if posted before the newsletter goes live on 23 February)
