New Prompts this Issue

Band of Brothers

BAND OF BROTHERS, David Webster, Webster is actually an alien in a human flesh suit trying to pass for a normal GI and that’s why his behaviour is always slightly off

BAND OF BROTHERS, Denver 'Bull' Randleman/Johnny Martin, He knows that tears make him weak.

BAND OF BROTHERS, Donald Malarkey/Joseph Toye, Don's always crushed on how strong Joe is.

BAND OF BROTHERS, Lewis Nixon, Start Trek AU. Lewis Nixon is a quarter Betazoid, which makes him very good at telling people's feelings but no better than anyone else at acting upon the knowledge. Drinking it away seems like the optimal choice... only not so much when you're the Chief Tactical Officer of your starship.

BAND OF BROTHERS, Lewis Nixon/Richard Winters, Telepathic bond.

Generation Kill

GENERATION KILL, Brad 'Iceman' Colbert/Nathaniel 'Nate' Fick, I don't care that you've changed.

GENERATION KILL, Nathaniel 'Nate' Fick, The LT got them through the war. Bravo Two gets Nate through the aftermath. [Ensemble fic where the whole platoon comes together to look after Nate who is Not Okay upon their return to the states. Wouldn't be opposed to it veering into Brad/Nate with Brad managing the whole thing like it's the most important operation of his life while pretending he's 'not emotionally invested, goddamnit, Ray!' But Gen would be awesome, too]

The Pacific

THE PACIFIC, Eugene B. Sledge/Sidney Phillips, Eugene had just nerved up to tell Sid how he felt, and then Sid rotated home.

Colonel Kink's Memorial Prompts

BAND OF BROTHERS, David Webster/Joseph Liebgott, An ongoing game of gay chicken leads to actual feelings.

BAND OF BROTHERS, Denver 'Bull' Randleman, Anything prompted by this: https://www.deviantart.com/adavidoff1/art/Homeward-670219138

BAND OF BROTHERS, Denver 'Bull' Randleman/Johnny Martin, First time practicing getting in and out of all of their jump gear. Johnny's smaller hands are very good at working all of those fiddly buckles and ties and it makes Bull wonder what else he can do with them.

BAND OF BROTHERS, Floyd 'Tab' Talbert/Richard Winters, Dick reads all the enlisted men's mail in order to censor it. Tab know that, and includes some messages for Dick in his letters home.

BAND OF BROTHERS, Lewis Nixon/Richard Winters, Lew left the MPs for the paratroopers, but he kept the handcuffs.

GENERATION KILL, Josh Ray Person/Nathaniel 'Nate' Fick, Nate is one of the medics assigned to Bravo. Ray has an ill-disguised crush.

GENERATION KILL, Brad 'Iceman' Colbert/Josh Ray Person, Waking up married.

THE PACIFIC, Andrew 'Ack-Ack' Haldane/Edward 'Hillbilly' Jones, Postwar, everybody lives AU: The one thing Andy cant come to terms with is the fact that Eddie was wounded under his watch, no matter how much Eddie doesn’t blame him for it.

THE PACIFIC, Eugene B. Sledge/Merriell 'Snafu' Shelton, Covering your lover with chocolate and then licking it off turns out to be both messy and time consuming.

THE PACIFIC, Eugene B. Sledge/Sidney Phillips, AU where Eugene is sent to Sid's unit.
