The Pacific


THE PACIFIC, Andrew 'Ack-Ack' Haldane/Edward 'Hillbilly' Jones, A new medication or vaccine that’s extremely effective but has one side effect: it’s also a truth serum. Love confessions ensue.


THE PACIFIC, Andrew 'Ack-Ack' Haldane/Edward 'Hillbilly' Jones, AU: Hillbilly dies, but Andy doesn't. However, Hillbilly's ghost still keeps Andy company.


THE PACIFIC, Andrew 'Ack-Ack' Haldane/Edward 'Hillbilly' Jones, Haney notices what's going on between Andy and Hillbilly (maybe even before they realize it themselves) so it's only a matter of time before he takes their CO aside and gives him the shovel talk.


THE PACIFIC, Andrew 'Ack-Ack' Haldane/Edward 'Hillbilly' Jones, The both survive the war, but Andy's head injury and general trauma cause him to block out all his experiences in the pacific, and his promises to Eddie. Eventual happy ending with them together, please.

THE PACIFIC, Eugene B. Sledge & Merriell 'Snafu' Shelton & Sidney Phillips, Snafu and Sledge are ride-or-die bros.

THE PACIFIC, Eugene B. Sledge/Merriell 'Snafu' Shelton, Burgie and/or Jay notice that Snafu is suddenly taking his shirt off a lot more now that Sledge is around.


THE PACIFIC, Eugene B. Sledge/Merriell 'Snafu' Shelton, One of them is a killer-for-hire, the other is the sexy investigator on their tail. (Think Killing Eve. Bonus points if Sledge is surprisingly the killer.)


THE PACIFIC, Eugene B. Sledge/Merriell 'Snafu' Shelton, Regency AU: Sledge is the younger son of a noble family. Snafu is a stable hand.


THE PACIFIC, Eugene B. Sledge/Merriell 'Snafu' Shelton, To kill time on Pavuvu, they guys put on a variety show. Snafu throws himself wholeheartedly into one of the women's roles, and Sledge doesn't know how he feels about that.


THE PACIFIC, Eugene B. Sledge/Sidney Phillips, Sledge spends all his time trying to get to Sid where he is in the Pacific. Their window together is tragically small. So, what happens after Sledge finally makes it home?


THE PACIFIC, John Basilone/Lena Mae Riggi, AU: John survives the war (either doesn't die, or doesn't go), and they have to work out how to make a life together outside the military.
