“I climbed slowly over a small berm and stopped. Below me was a fighting hole. Blankets lined it, and a kettle still hung over a fire. Untouched food was neatly dished onto two plates. Footprint in the dust disappeared into the brush.
“Christeson, Stafford, get over here.”
The two Marines came running and began walking a double helix along the footprints, cutting back and forth like dogs on a scent. But the hole’s occupants were gone.“
- Nate Fick, One Bullet Away. (p. 210-211)

So I got a day off by surprise and my mind thinks that the best way to make use of that unexpected free time is to write Q-Tip/Christson smut. It's the sequel to Pushing Boundaries and this time it's getting steamy. I'm 3.300 words in already and far from done, and all I can say is that the boys are having fun... ^_____^

RESULTS Fandom's Favorite HBO War Character (Round 1)
Thank you so much for the great responses to everyone who participated in Round 1 of the poll. 85 votes were cast in this round, which was way more than I ever hoped would participate! Also, your comments in the optional box and in my Tumblr notes are hilarious. Please keep them coming.
Not too many surprises in this first round, but it only gets tougher from here, folks! Some insights on the voting:
The biggest surprise was definitely the defeat of John Basilone by Ack Ack Haldane. This was a tough one!
The largest vote difference was between David Webster (98.8% of the votes) vs. Roy Cobb (1.2%) The hatred for Roy Cobb is noted and appreciated :)
The closest match-up was between Eric Kocher (51.8%) and John Christeson (48.2%) sadly knocking my boy John out of the running :(
Under the cut are the numbers on who voted who with commentary from yours truly. Round 2 will hopefully be up tomorrow, Sunday, November 6. Hope to see you there!
Dick Winters (82) vs. Don Hoobler (3)
Lewis Nixon (78) vs. Albert Blithe (7)

Ed Tipper (51) vs. Earl McClung (34)

John Janovec (46) vs. James Miller (39) Why do I feel like this was totally a Tom Hardy vs. James McAvoy thing???
Thomas Meehan (53) vs. John Julian (32) They literally both die after like one episode lol

photobomb in the garden . 04
the Compromised Colbert Collection part 2 because he can't help himself apparently asdkfjhadksfjh
*** these pictures are begging to be tagged properly hnnnnnngh why would they hurt our small peaceful corner in this way
I know a lot of these have made their way to tumblr before, apologies for the duplicates, but I just really need to picspam myself with everything I nabbed and organized from the Generation Kill fan group on Facebook because the world deserves these beautiful collections of late 2000s cringe!!!
Scrolling through all the photo albums was a Life Experience and 3 study hours obviously spent on not studying, would highly recommend it, 11/10, I saved all my faves and they got me through 24 days of sleepless hell, save your favorite cringiest photo to pass your next big milestone in life ajdsgfhfaadjfhjasgd

If you would please please pls pls pls Stafford/Christenson. They are blorbo's from my show! NSFW or sfw, during OIF.
They're so babygirl coded it's not even funny, I love them so much-

"Gracious"
"I was like, good gracious, check out my tracers,
so dangerous, trying to show patience,
lookin for the right time to shoot my steez,
catch em runnin, hit the back of their knees,
I'll leave em, please believe me Oh! me and the rest of my heathens,
pop up a... yo man, how'd that line go?"
Curled up in his ranger grave, John groaned as quietly as he could while curling in a little tighter on himself, head cushioned on his arm, only a couple moments away from precious sleep. He knows Q-tip is staring at him over the lip of his grave expecting an answer, but he's too fucking tired. Gunny would be pissed if he knew I was still awake, Christeson thought to himself.
"Yo, Johnny, the fuck's wrong with you? I know yo ass ain't asleep." Evan pesters on, still wide awake from the enemy encounter earlier, he seems more excited about Cristenson's first kills than the kid himself.
"How the fuck would you know if I'm asleep or not?" John shoots back, finally cracking an eye open to squint at Evan. God, he's pretty without that fucking durag on. John opens both eyes to get a better look in the dim desert night, soaking up the rare occasion to stare at the man he's slowly falling in love with on this hellish campaign.
"We been sleepin' next to each other for two months, you think I don't know how you sleep, man? Cause it sure as fuck ain't on your side, back sleepin' mothufucka." Stafford huffs, flopping over the edge of John’s grave and squeezes his too-skinny body between John’s equally too-skinny body and the clay-dirt wall. John often mentally compares Stafford to a ferret, lanky and will try to fit in the smallest places possible… he’s also a bit of a klepto. Evan is quick to wind his arms around John’s torso before the younger man can protest.
Stafford tugs at John’s flak vest to move him to his back, knowing John will be much more comfortable and settles in for the few gracious hours of sleep before it's their turn on watch again. Minutes pass before either man says another word, the only sounds are each other’s breathing and distant artillery blasts. The 1st Recon’s unofficial lullaby.
“Would it be gay to ask for a goodnight kiss?” John whispers, turning his head to face his partner. There’s a look in his eye that Stafford can’t tell if it’s innocent or not, though he feels that if he has to think about it, it’s probably not.
“Nah, man, it’s only gay if you’re not a Marine.”

Thanks for the ask, Caffe!!💚
(WC: 369) (lol)

I've finally finished the Q-Tip/Christeson fic I was talking about, and it's 9k and turned out very juicy. I've just posted the first chapter of two, and I hope you have fun with the continuation of their road trip! ;D

Go for it bestie.
I'd like like to have all THREE :D
Husband, ONS and Best Friend!
OMFG I AM SO SORRY BESTIE, I THOUGHT I ANSWERED THIS ALREADY BUT IT'S BEEN SITTING IN MY ASK THIS WHOLE FUCKING TIME 😭
I already did the BoB one so I will do the other 2 instead! 💖
The Pacific
♥ HUSBAND: Eugene Sledge (precious 🥰)
♥ ONS: Burgie (his eyes are so 🙈)
♥ BFF: My boy, Johnny Basilgnome (what a king tbh 🤌🏼)
Gen. Kill
♥ HUSBAND: Nate or Evan Stafford (Q-Tip, my beloved 🥰🤌🏼)
♥ ONS: Brad! I'd put him on the Husband list but he just doesn't strike me as the marrying kind. #Commitment Issues 😬
Or maybe Ray. Ray'd be good for a ONS because he's cute but I don't think I could stand to be around him much longer than that 🤣 There's only so much Ray a person can reasonably take in one day before they become, like, an axe-murderer
♥ BFF: Antonio "Poke" Espera (My king, my boy, my homie, my amigo 🤌🏼💖)
Thank you so much for the Ask, lovely!! 💖

All right you crazy kids, we’re back at it again to announce some winners. Only 13 voters in the first round for both quizzes, so there’s that. As always, favorite commenter award goes to:

Walt Hasser took home 100% of the vote against Shady B
Gunny Wynn (10) won over Eric Kocher (3) which I honestly thought would be a closer race
