where the shadows meet the light
The darkness fades to light. Patroclus blinks.
All he sees is light.
“Patroclus.”
Achilles. His name sits on his tongue.
“Are you there?” His voice is warm and comforting, honey laced words sending a
Patroclus stretches his hand out. Only darkness meets him at first.
Something reaches out. Someone.
Achilles.
Illuminated by the golden rays of Apollo, he seems otherworldly.
The space between them closes in an instant.
Patroclus tilts his head up, meeting Achilles’ gaze. “I’m right here.” It’s whisper soft, but here in the quiet stillness, it seems to echo all around.
The only thing louder is the sound of his heart pounding in his chest. Achilles smiles and it only makes his heart beat faster.
He leans in, presses his lips against Achilles’. His lips taste of almond and honey.
Achilles threads his fingers through his hair, pulling him closer. A sigh slips past his lips.
They are one again. Two halves of the same soul pieced back together, though not quite a perfect fit.
War has shaped them, molded them into different people than they were.
Achilles, battle hardened and weary from years of fighting.
But there’s still the same softness, still the same delicacy to his features. Most alluring though was the softness in his eyes, golden flecks shining like constellations.
And he, too, is battle hardened, though not as much as Achilles. The scar on his wrist aches, a reminder of everything. Perhaps the worst reminder, are the memories.
Ghosts that never leave.
For now, none of that matters. Now is for the lost moments, for everything that War stole away.
Reluctantly, Patroclus pulls away. He meets Achilles’ gaze, eyes bright and irresistible. “Let’s go home,” he whispers.
Achilles nods, laces his fingers through his. Hesitantly, they step forwards. Hand in hand, they find their way back; shadows falling away as they bask in the light.

WIP Wednesday: NOT Edition
Tumblr media
The probability of Estelle receiving a letter with the other girls was unlikely. Improbable even. There was a time when those numbers came easily to her. When she had taught the legion of young girls at Cradock High, she had been sure of her equations and formulas, just as she was sure in the frequency of the letters. But this formula wasn’t working. This equation wasn’t adding up, no matter what way she tried. 
Unreciprocated pining + increasing tension with male penpal = months between letters.
If she had been like her pupils, young and immature, she might have cried about it. They had often shed tears of frustration over the ins and outs of algebraic expression. But Estelle wasn’t a child. She wasn’t young and immature. Maybe she had been when she met him. When the first letters were sent.
No Ordinary Time: on Wattpad and Tumblr

Friendship Bonanza Prompt List!
International Friendship Day is right around the corner, and our AO3 collection is going out to our authors any minute! That means we are excited to announce the prompt list for the friendship bonanza - which we have hidden under the “keep reading” because it’s ridiculously long. If you’d like to make a “gift” for any of the prompters, you are welcome to, and we just ask that you either post it to the AO3 collection and tag them (but please mark it as a “gift fill”) or post it on Tumblr and tag them AND us so we can share it! Happy Friending
@nowinnablewar AO3: unseelieCollapsar Will Accept: Fanfic, Other types of media Prompt 1: Skip bounces ideas off Easy Company for the letter he wants to send to Faye. Prompt 2: Easy Company craft a plan to get back at Sobel without getting caught. Prompt 3: A Yank staff correspondent (Reader or OC) interviews the officers at the Eagle's Nest. Prompt 4: Three Musketeers AU with Toye, Luz, Guarnere, and Buck
@softspeirs AO3: sunlightdances Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart, Other types of media Prompt 1: Speirs being soft (either gif moments from the show, art of your choice, or platonically with a canon character, or paired with an OC!) Prompt 2: Nixon + "I wish I didn't care about it" - gifs showing him caring about other characters canonically or fic with platonic friendship or background romance with an OC Prompt 3: Lipton being Easy's Mom and Dad. Fanart, a fic of a missing scene, or gifs from the show! (Post-war AU feat. a background romance is also ok too) Prompt 4: Any happy, smiley moments between Easy boys. Gifs of happy moments, fanart, or a fic of a moment we didn't see on the show! DNW: Character/character slash fic, modern AU
@serasvictoria AO3: Caren80 Will Accept: Fanfic, Other types of media Prompt 1: Chuck and Babe are supposed be doing guard duty at Membury airfield. Chuck takes Babe to a pub instead (this genuinely happened by the way). Prompt 2: It’s Christmas and since Easy is still stuck in Bois Jacques in Belgium, Joe Liebgott decides to share a Hershey bar with Chuck and Tab as a present. Prompt 3: We all know that Luz and Perconte ended up in a barn to steal eggs, but what happened before that scene? Who even came up with the idea to begin with? Prompt 4: It’s 1946 and word reaches Bill that Joe Toye is really struggling with the loss of his leg. He decides to show up at Joe’s place unannounced with Babe and together they will do their utmost to make sure that Joe cracks a smile. Prompt 5: After hearing Joe say that he could use some brass knuckles right before D-Day, Bill finds some for him.
@josephtoye AO3: corawrites Will Accept: Fanfic Prompt 1: Joe Liebgott & Floyd Talbert, one is trying to set the other up, or some other banter-y kind of situation Prompt 2: Johnny Martin & Bull Randleman, any historical AU Prompt 3: Buck Compton & Joe Toye, do with that what you will Prompt 4: Shifty Powers & Carwood Lipton, anything wholesome DNW: Any other characters, angst is okay provided it has a happy ending, no romantic pairings please
@churchkey AO3: churchkey Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart Prompt 1: Don Malarkey & Skip Muck. Canon-era. Don's not in love with Skip , he just wants to spend the rest of his life with him. Maybe the two of them talking about their plan for being "together" (as besties) after the war. Maybe some cute "I've never told anyone else this before" intimate self-revelations. Maybe Don's reaction to Winters splitting them into different platoons. Basically I just want any chapter in the epic love story of their friendship. Prompt 2: Don Malarkey & Skip Muck Post-War Fix-It. Don's the best man at Skip and Faye's wedding, wondering how this is going to change things and if anyone will over love him the way Skip loves Faye (bonus points for background Don/Joe [Toye that is]; pining, long-distance flirting, whatever) Prompt 3: Dick Winters & Harry Welsh. Post-VE Day. Dick is crestfallen after Nix leaves. Harry feels bad for him. He really does. He's also kind of like "now you know how it feels, don't ya?" Still, he hates to see his friend suffer. Just a couple of sad, lovelorn bastards being miserable together. Prompt 4: Dick Winters & Kitty Grogan/Welsh. Post-war or Modern AU (hence you decide if she takes Harry's name). Would super love these two just doing some GBF things together, shopping, getting coffee, complaining about their husbands and trading gardening tips. Maybe the convo gets a little spicy after dark. Maybe they've each got some private dilemma the other helps to solve. Or maybe they just wander around a flea market looking for good deals on Fiestaware. Prompt 5: Lewis Nixon & Harry Welsh. Post-War. ROADTRIP! (Bonus for background Winnix but it's not necessary). DNW: anything sci-fi/fantasy; OCs; xReader; Tab
@how-are-those-nuts-sarge AO3: whoahersheybars_3up3down Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart, Other types of media Prompt 1: Historian AU - one character worked at a museum/was a historian before the war and geeks out over a few things while deployed to their friends = any character/s. Prompt 2: Penmanship - one character has lovely handwriting, but something/s hit them HARD during the war and they write much less pretty; with one of their friends' support, however, their hand steadies and they heal (lotsa metaphors there I know 😅) = any character/s. Prompt 3: Chess - one character teaches the other to play chess = any character/s. Prompt 4: Bicycle - one character finds a tandem bicycle in Austria and convinces the other to go on a ride with them = any character/s. Prompt 5: Anything with Bill & Babe, Malarkey & Skip & Penkala, or Dick & Nix, I love their friendship dynamics so much.
@speirstookmysoul AO3: speirstookmysoul Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart, Other types of media Prompt 1: mentor/mentee bonding Prompt 2: shoulder clasps Prompt 3: overdramatic arguments about non-important subjects Prompt 4: "getting mistaken as family and not correcting whoever’s mistaken”
@kmorecoffee AO3: vintagelavenderskies Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart Prompt 1: gene and renee: diasastrous, chaotic cookie decorating! the rest of the gang can be involved too for extra chaos because who doesn't love chaos. anyways: gene and renee try to make holiday cookies but something goes awry. too much salt and not enough sugar? distracted and accidentally burn the cookies? luz plays a practical joke and switches out sugar for salt? go crazy! Prompt 2: gene and renee: stargazing!!! all the stargazing :) just two friends, vibing, talking about life and whatever comes to mind Prompt 3: can be modern au: chaos in the coffee shop! just the gang's shenanigans at the local coffee shop. mayhaps there's an ongoing bet of how long it takes luz to get banned? DNW: speirs. i mean, i guess he can be like mentioned or featured. but not too much speirs.
AO3: Muccamukk Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart Prompt 1: Renee & Augusta/Anna: Any backstory about how/if they knew each other before, their different points of view on things. AU where Renee doesn't die and what they do after the war. Would prefer racism not be the focus of the story, though it can be an element. I like it when there's queer characters and romance isn't the focus. Prompt 2: Winters & Guarnere: Something with them getting to know/respect each other better set early in their relationship, especially between Day of Days and Bastogne. They have such different outlooks, but in the end very similar values, and I'd love to see that explored. Maybe they get stuck together and have to survive? Prompt 3: Randleman & Garcia: I'd love to see more of Bull mentoring the replacements, especially Garcia, and how their relationship changes as the replacements get combat experience and integrate with the company. Would love to see growing respect for each other. I like it when there's queer characters and romance isn't the focus. Prompt 4: Guarnere & Martin: They have matching tattoos! They got in so much trouble with each other and were so ride or die even post war! Bill went to Martin's wedding! Pat and Frannie wrote too each other during the war. I would love them getting to know each other, or small moments of affection. Or just write about Pat and Frannie. That's fun too. Or Bill & Bull & Johnny. Or Bill & Joe Toye. Basically any configuration of this is great! Prompt 5: Powers & McClung: Basically them chilling in the woods silently understanding each other? Healing through chilling in the woods? Comparing their experiences as country boys on opposite sides of the country? Post war stuff where Shifty's so badly hurt and Earl's PTSD? I like it when there's queer characters and romance isn't the focus. DNW: Focus on character death (mention of canon stuff is fine), graphic sexual violence, hopeless endings of utter sadness, character bashing, zombies, AUs that change the setting (turn left AUs fine, AUs that add magic etc fine). PoV characters having strong racist or homophoic views.
@papersergeant-pencilsoldier AO3: papersky_pencilstars Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart, Other types of media Prompt 1: Airborne OT5 (Liebgott, Grant, Mcclung, Ramirez, Babe) missing scenes - can be fluffy or angsty (fallout from Chuck getting shot?), dealer's choice! Prompt 2: Mortar Trio - Early days at Camp Taccoa Prompt 3: Dukeman & Perconte & Tab (bonus Trigger?) teasing the replacements Prompt 4: Renée LeMaire  & Gene Roe- (everybody lives AU) connect postwar (I would die if this was a letter fic, but it absolutely does not have to be!) DNW: webgott (platonic or romantic background)
Prompter # 11 Will Accept: Fanfic Prompt 1: Dick, Nix, and Harry being involved in some shenanigans during their downtime in Mourmelon. Prompt 2: Bill and Babe reminiscing and sharing Philly stories. Prompt 3: The friendship between Smokey and Lip because I think it deserves more hype :) DNW: Nothing NSFW
@dansssks​ AO3: danesaber Prompt 1: Dick & Nix: The time they offered to protect Kitty for ice cream and Vat 69. Prompt 2: Spina/Babe/Gene: College AU? Prompt 3: Spina & anyone: They show Spina all their booboos Prompt 4: Mortar Squad: Any au, cannon or modern Prompt 5: Harry and Moose: Go sheep shopping as a present for Winnix on their new farm.
@anthrobrat AO3: anthrobrat Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart Prompt 1: Any of the Last Patrol OT5 (Chuck, Babe, Lieb, McClung, Ramirez) owning a business together - coffeshop, bar, accounting firm? Don't care. Can either be a post-war or modern AU setting. Prompt 2: Skinny Sisk and anyone being bros during the war. Maybe him and Frank deleted scenes in Bastogne fox holes Prompt 3: Shifty & McClung shenanigans during leave. The cat story is hilarious, and I'm sure there are more, and I just love these two because they are so calm and collected but McClung is a total wild card. I would also take a modern AU of them being besties. Prompt 4: Shifty and Popeye being best friends after the war maybe? I just imagine them at each other's weddings being disasters. I would also take the two of them as friends in a modern AU Prompt 5: Any friendship prompt that gives life to the lesser known characters would be awesome imo. DNW: Speirs or Lipton as main protagonists.
Prompter # 13 Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart Prompt 1: shifty powers and floyd talbert - mermaid/fisher au Prompt 2: babe heffron x reader - ice hockey/team manager Prompt 3: dick winters x reader - college au! tutor au Prompt 4: easy company boarding school au DNW: pwp/smut
@mercurygray AO3: mercurygray Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart, Other types of media Prompt 1: Harry + Nixon - marriage, divorce, and everything in between. Prompt 2: Shifty + Smokey - Guess we're not in Kansas anymore - or Mississippi, or Virginia. Prompt 3: Tab + Grant - Chuck's really just here to keep Tab out of trouble. Prompt 4: Bill + Babe - First jump's the hardest - and while the jump into Holland is easy, what comes after it is not. Prompt 5: Tipper + Luz -  Tipper's pretty good at impressions, too. DNW: Liebgott and Webster (as a unit; individually they're fine.)
@lyselkatz AO3: Lysel Will Accept: Fanfic Prompt 1: Any group shenanigans/friendship fluff including Skip, Smokey, Nix, Bull. Prompt 2: "The guys are stranded on base without pass (or requisitioned to work overtime to meet an important deadline/exams, if modern AU) Prompt 3: Smokey does his best to cheer his brothers up with his peculiar brand of silly (Valentine) gifts. Extra ❤ if Skip and George offer their help. Chaos and ensemble fluff ensue. (+ playing Cupid/background ships if you like)" Prompt 4: "Lieb and Hoobs are bored so they decide to troll Web. Since it's valentine's day soon they'll play crack!cupid for fun. Prompt 5: Web is a shark nerd and Pat has a great shark smile. Infallible logic, right? (Input from the other guys /ensemble shenanigans are welcome)" DNW: Nothing I can think of, since it's a friendship fest
Prompter #16 Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart, Other types of media Prompt 1: found family taking care of each other (feat. liebgott being happy and content <3) domestic fluff Prompt 2: anything fluffy coffee shop AU or flower shop or tattoo parlour or bakery or anything along those lines Prompt 3: university AU but they are the professors! DNW: webgott, fantasy AUS, omegaverse, mpreg, anything mafia related, not too much angst
Prompter #17 Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart Prompt 1: Era switch: take the boys and put them in the Vietnam War. WWI? The Korean War? The American Revolution? Any conflict that you're comfortable with. Prompt 2: The Pacific AU? Put the BoB men in the Pacific. How they get there or why they are there is all up to you. Maybe their parachute infantry regiment was simply assigned to the PTO instead of the ETO after training. Maybe Japan didn't surrender as quickly as they did. Anything. Prompt 3: Supernatural AUs are my favorite. Preferably I'd love to keep them based in the WWII era, but you can switch it up if you'd like to -- I'd be fine with that! Any type of supernatural is cool with me. I'm aware this might be super vague but I really don't mind whatever you go with :) Prompt 4: Role-switching scenarios: putting men from within the series in each others' positions. DNW: Romantic shipping, characters (Cobb, Sobel, any higher ranking officers above Winters like Sink), modern-day AUs, aged-down AUs (high school/middle school/college with the purpose of aging down = no); a/b/o trope; nsfw (no sexual material; show-level gore okay).
@mariamegale AO3: mariamegale Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart Prompt 1: Babe and Julian being best friends. They are snarky, excited, happy and having a good time together. Bonus if their boyfriends are Eugene and Spina, accordingly! Prompt 2: Baberoe. They're dating, but they're dating their own best friends. With romantic feelings taking the back seats, I'd love to see a healthy relationship of two people in love but doing normal platonic things because they're also each others' best friends in the whole world! Prompt 3: Roe and Spina being tired doctor friends, meeting up in between shifts or calls, being tired and exasperated and just having their sandwiches and a moment of god damn peace. Prompt 4: George Luz and Babe Heffron being best friends. They'd be a disaster, but that disaster that also knows how to step the fuck up if shit gets serious. But mostly they're a disaster. Prompt 5: Joe Liebgott and Eugene Roe. They're roommates, they're pals, Joe likes smoking weed, playing mario kart and complaining about whatever dipshit he's gone out with now, Eugene is trying to make it through med school and enjoys the soothing background chatter of Joe blabbering on about this guy's shirt, or whatever. DNW: Canon era (Ambiguous era is fine if you don't like writing/drawing modern!), Carwood Lipton, OCs, xReader stuff
@mizunoir AO3: mizunoir (but I use 49thpersona for reblogging stuff) Will Accept: Fanfic, Other types of media Prompt 1: Hogwarts AU! Would be lovely if it would include Babe. I leave it up to the artist if they would like to portray one specific house endeavours or all 4 houses befriending. Prompt 2: Stargazing, can be set in modern times or in the original timeline. For angsty interpretation it would be nice to read/see some Eugene and Spina bonding. Prompt 3: Stargazing (original timeline or modern times). For more crack-ish one it could include for example: Luz, Toye, Guarnere, Babe etc. But I leave it absolutely open - include whoever you want! Boys share their music taste. Bickering and reminiscing of the good times free of war ensues. Can be platonic, can be slightly shippy, AU or modern - up to the artist. Preferably including Babe with Eugene.
@thrillingdetectivetales AO3: ThrillingDetectiveTales Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart, Other types of media Prompt 1: Bill & Babe: Bill talks Babe through gay panic about his extremely obvious crush on one John T. Julian, convinces him to ask Julian out, and demands to officiate their wedding (not necessarily in that order) Prompt 2: Harry & Nix (with bonus Buck?): commiserating about trying to keep Dick out of trouble Prompt 3: Blanche Nixon & Ann Winters: they know each other because their idiot brothers are """"friends"""" but they both know what's up and cover for Dick and Nix at various times throughout their lives Prompt 4: Kitty Grogan & Franny Guarnere & Pat Martin: they meet because their fellas are on the line together and keep each other sane throughout the war Prompt 5: Floyd Talbert is everyone's best buddy DNW: No mpreg/pregnancy in general, no rape/non-con (dub-con like drunk!sex or sex pollen or hatesex is fine), no modern AUs, no ABO/dynamics, no kidfic.
Prompter #21 Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart Prompt 1: Speirs & Shames: These stern, "unlikable" men are just not very social or nice, but they get each other. Outcast gay solidarity. Prompt 2: Kitty & Nixon/Winters: Nixon and/or Winters gets to meet Harry's special girl at last. Harry's made her sound like the romantic lead of a novel and really cool, and they are completely unprepared for the tall, awkward chess club captain. Prompt 3: Babe & Guarnere: Post-war readjusting of a friendship. Disability, marriage, kids on the way, Babe is gay. You know, the usual. DNW: xReader, OCs, hopeless angst, AUs, heavy focus on heterosexuality
@aloraundomiel AO3: ElfLadyArwen Will Accept: Fanfic, Fanart Prompt 1: Dick admires Eugene’s medical skill and always shows interest in learning from him while he’s on the job. Eugene uses it to his advantage, making sure Dick takes care of himself (because shaving doesn’t count) under the guise of ‘teachable moments.’ Any battlefield setting would work. Prompt 2: Nix and Harry are joined at the hip, two class clowns who wind each other up.  When one gets them into deep trouble, the other one is always there to get them out again. Prompt 3: Dick Winters is jealous of Ronald Spiers ruthlessness/ability to detach and athletic prowess. Ronald Spiers is jealous of Dick’s empathy and ability to earn loyalty through compassion. Each man agrees to give the other lessons in order to be more well rounded leaders. DNW: Please no Blithe. Never Blithe. You can leave out Compton too.
@bandofmorons AO3: bandofmorons (pseud for sonsofmahal) Will Accept: Fanfic Prompt 1: Babe & Lieb friendship!! I don't have a ton of specifics for this, I just want them being friends and getting into shenanigans but also being supportive of each other... like they're just guys bein' dudes but they're also pretty close ya know! They take care of each other when they need to! Ideally this would be a modern AU, maybe they're college roommates or something? Prompt 2: But mostly I just want to see them goofing off but also being helpful when shit goes down or something, because that's what friends are for. Prompt 3: Some kind of traveling AU with the 5 officers (Winters, Nix, Harry, Lip and Speirs) all as friends and how going on a big trip like that can strain a friendship when something goes wrong or just from people being tired from traveling so much... maybe it's a cross-county roadtrip, maybe it's spring break in Europe, maybe they're going backpacking in New Zealand or something.. I just wanna see how all those 5 boys' different personalities interact on a big logistical venture! Prompt 4: I'm not picky about who necessarily but I want to see Webster getting close to & forming a close friendship with someone in Easy! I feel like in the show/fandom he gets a bad rap for being pretentious (which, fair) but I think it would be awesome to see him becoming good friends with someone and feeling more accepted among the company bc of it. This could be a canon-compliant thing or it could be a modern AU where the boys are all friends. Background Webgott would also be cool as long as Lieb is supportive of Web befriending more people. DNW: explicit sex

Hii!!! Welcome to the adventures of Carl and Vera!
So, this somehow grew into an AU of sorts featuring Carlbot from the @bob-events Discord, and Vera, a worm OC that was created. All of the art is done by the lovely @lyselkatz and the writing is done by me, @kmorecoffee.
Feel free to send asks or prompts and contribute your headcanons and creations.
They are both in Easy Company. Vera Annelida Lowly is a nurse with and Carl Abbott Testu is a medic. They time travel together and cause chaos while fighting the war with Easy Co. Vera and Carl met at Bastogne Nuts weekend festival.
Carl likes to hoard sugar and anything else he can get his hands on.
Sobel took a liking to Carl immediately and feeds him sugar whenever possible. When Sobel is transferred, Carl finds comfort in Nixon's footlocker. Nix knew something was off about Carl from the beginning, but couldn't prove it.
Carl occasionally also smuggles Vat 69 for Nix throughout the war. His favorite magazine is Titter, which he snuck in. Everything stays hidden in Carl's shell, of course. (Where else would he hide it?)
Muck and Penkala also take a liking to Carl as does Babe. Babe will carry Carl around in his pocket while Carl's scouting for snipers. And while running Currahee, Carl enjoys the view from Skip's pocket.

COMING SOON: secret soldiers
Tumblr media
a collaboration between immrsronaldspeirs and @rinadoesstuff :
Maggie Walters, British SOE, and Claire Harding, German. Both join Easy company under orders, finding more than they expected. Friendship, family and love.
Tumblr media
•••
Standing at ease, Maggie chatted with some of Easy as they awaited the arrival of Sobel and Winters. They'd been in Aldbourne a few days and training was to begin again, something none of Easy was looking forward to.
"Lieutenant?"
Maggie looked away from Liebgott, her eyes going to George who had spoken. "Is it true we're getting someone new?"
Maggie smiled and nodded at the man, British accent thicker after being back home for only a few days. "We are, Luz. I've no idea what her name is, but we are."
Eyes widened around Maggie at the mention of a her joining Easy.
"That's correct, men." All eyes left Maggie, going to a young blonde woman that came to stand beside Maggie. "Agent Harding, Claire."
Maggie heard a few whispers, the loudest from Grant and Liebgott.
"She's pretty." Maggie had heard the same thing from Grant when she had arrived, the man a sweet one with no ill intentions.
What made her frown, however, we're the words that were spat from the mouth of Liebgott. "Yeah? Well I heard from Cobb that she's a fucking Nazi."
•••
this will also be posted on wattpad - please tell either @rinadoesstuff or I if you would like to be tagged in the fanfiction (either on here or wattpad!)

Secret Soldiers
Chapter Thirteen
Georgia, Camp Toccoa, 1942
As if it was her first time meeting the men again, Maggie could feel her stomach churning as she followed behind George into the barracks. The fact that she may get in trouble for being there wasn’t on her mind but instead the impression she had made was floating about. It was common knowledge that the men had objected to her being part of their Easy company when she had first joined yet now she was being invited into their barracks.
At the back of her mind, though not hidden from her thoughts, was the idea that it was all a joke. A way for the men to really embarrass Maggie into leaving Easy company finally, a way to make the British woman quit. As she entered the barracks, Maggie attempted to push such thoughts away and focussed on keeping her smile genuine. 
I like she had expected, the laughter and chatter didn't die down when Maggie walked in, instead they continued like normal. That comforted Maggie a little bit, her mind more at ease as she followed George toward a makeshift table. Sitting down was Bill, Don Malarkey, Skip Muck and Alex Penaka, room for 2 more people. 
When George took a seat, he made sure that Maggie had enough room to be sitting comfortably, as did Bill on the other side. Casting all the men a smile, Maggie took a seat and was immediately given a hand into the game. She was slightly nervous, unsure if George was actually going to help her to learn to play but she kept a smile on her face nonetheless. 
“Move over a bit, i’ll help you play the first few times.” Maggie jumped slightly as George whispered over to her, making her shiver slightly by the closeness of them. Looking over at him, he wore a smile and Maggie returned it as she scooted closer to him as requested. “Show me your cards.” Maggie did just that, George looking at them as well as his own. 
“Place your bets please lads...and lady.” Guarnere grinned over at Maggie, winking at her when he said the word lady which made Maggie laugh gently. Pulling out the cigarettes that she had brought along with her, she watched as the eyes of the men lit up - she couldn’t help but laugh at their faces, placing them into the middle of the pile along with the rest of the bets. 
Mixed in were a few stray cigarettes, some dollar bills and some chocolate. Whilst Maggie didn’t care for the bills or cigarettes, she was eager to win just for the chocolate that had been placed in the middle. As the others decided what things they wanted to bet, Maggie shuffled closer to George and whispered in his ear. “If you help me win, all I want is the chocolate - the rest is yours.” 
Leaning back, Maggie didn’t shuffle away again but instead left the pair close together as George’s grin now grew larger - not that Maggie thought that was possible. Soon enough, it was time to play poker and Maggie was nervous as it began. 
The games went on for about an hour before Maggie started to get tired, she had won one of the games and now had cigarettes in her possession that she had started handing out to the men. Letting out a yawn, Maggie sitting out from the game being played in that moment, she placed her head gently on the shoulder of George Luz. She was very tired, her brain not really processing what it was that she was doing. 
Instead of making fun of the tired woman, George wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer so that she could rest a bit more comfortably. Feeling safe, something she hadn’t imagined she would be able to feel when she first joined the US Army, Maggie closed her eyes and allowed herself to gently drift off. The day she had been having was a hard one, all the energy gone after an hour of interacting with the men. 
From one of the bunks, Eugene glanced over to where the men were playing poker as Tipper was talking about something no one was interested in - although they did all pretend to listen. His face changed from fake interest to concern as he watched Maggie fall asleep on George’s shoulder. He had noticed that she was looking worn out the past few days but didn’t want to mention anything to the Lieutenant for fear that she would feel weaker than she really was. 
Making a mental note to check up on her casually the next day, Eugene went back to pretending to be interested in whatever it was Tipper was talking about.
Dresden, November 1942
The white snowflakes were dancing with the wind just outside of the window as Claire sat on the couch, wrapped up securely in the wool blanket Hans gave her only a few minutes ago. Despite the fact that her gaze was fixated on the window, Claire’s attention was focused on the sounds coming from the kitchen. Hearing the rustling coming from the kitchen, the blonde woman wondered what she did to deserve someone like Hans in her life. It just wasn’t fair in her eyes that out of so many people, she was the one to have such a caring best friend as Hans is. 
„You still know how we used to build snowmen with my brothers once there was enough snow?“ Claire couldn’t help herself but smile as she called the question out. 
„And it escalated to a full on snowball fight in which five Hardings attacked me? How could I forget that?“ Hans‘ voice was full of sarcasm at the last question and a soft laugh left Claire as she sat up a little straighter. It was an unforgettable day. „We weren’t that bad.“
„If you guys weren’t that bad, then I‘m the president of the United states.“ Hans argued and entered the living room with two steaming mugs in his hands. With a smug smile on his lips he handed one of the mugs to Claire who gladly accepted. „You know that you don’t have to do this, right?“
Hans nodded in response as he sat down next to the woman. „Yeah I know but I want to. Now tell me why you can’t sleep.“ He stretched his arm out, motioning Claire to come closer. She happily obliged and leaned herself against her friend's side who wrapped his arms around her. The embrace was strong but yet so soft and Claire immediately felt safe and protected as if nothing could hurt her, that she could talk about anything she wanted without having to worry about what she said.
„I’m just worried about the future, you know? Only one little mistake and the Gestapo or whoever is out there might find out about what we do. That we work against them.” Claire paused shortly to take a breath. It was the first time in a while that she could talk about her feelings without having to worry about anyone hearing what they aren’t supposed to hear but she was still careful, trying to keep her voice as calm as possible. “My family doesn’t even know that I’m here. They might never know if anything happens to me.”
Hans was surprised to hear the woman voice her worries in such a monotone way especially considering what she was talking about. He wasn’t sure what to do to help her apart from making most likely empty promises about everything turning out just fine so he settled for gently stroking her cheek, just showing her that he would be there for her. 
It didn’t take long for a comfortable silence to fall onto them as the both of them continued drinking their hot chocolate. It wasn’t much but Claire had to admit that the fear of the unknown was slowly but surely beginning to fade and was instead starting to be replaced by the so desired tiredness. It took everything in Claire to keep her eyes open but the darkness eventually won over her and she soon slumped a bit in her position in Hans‘ arms. 
“Told you I could get you to sleep.“ He mumbled to himself as he placed both mugs down on the coffee table before getting a bit more comfortable himself. With Claire now lying against his chest and the blanket wrapped over them both, Hans couldn’t help himself but to smile. It was a feeling he couldn’t fully describe but he never wanted it to end. 
“I‘ll protect you. I promise.“

the meaning of things
so i binge watched vox machina in 2 days and here we are.
Keyleth sits outside, stares at the sky. It’s dark out; the sky an inky black, the only light coming from the stars.
She’s been sitting out here for hours, turning the words over and over in her mind, trying to make sense of them. I meant what I said yesterday.
I love you. That’s what he means.
Keyleth lets out a shaky breath, hugging her knees to her chest. It’s not as though she hasn’t noticed. Things have been different in a way she can’t explain.
Not that she’s ever been good at this sort of thing. Feelings have never really been her strong suit. Healing, fixing things, has always been the language of her soul. I don’t know how to fix this. How can I fix this when I don't even know it happened?
That doesn’t stop the look on Vax’s face when she said no from flashing in her mind. Keyleth groans, rests her face in her hands. “I'm a fool.” She stands, starts back towards the house.
Even though it's late out, the streets are full of people. Full of life.
Slipping inside, she starts down the hall, keeping her footsteps light. It doesn’t take long for her to reach Vax’s room. Keyleth hesitates before knocking.
The sound seems to echo in the quiet. Too loud. Too much.
Finally the door opens. Vax leans against the frame, sleep written all over his expression, hair sticking out in every which direction.
“I’m sorry.”
The words come out before she can stop them.
He doesn’t say anything. The silence is uncomfortable and awkward. “Come in, I guess.”
Keyleth nods, slipping inside. She tries to ignore the way his voice makes a jolt run through her. “I guess you know why I’m here.” More silence. Instead, he crosses the room in a few quick steps, curling up in the alcove. Keyleth follows silently, not bothering to try and catch up to him.
She doesn’t move to sit down next to him. Instead, she lets her gaze wander towards the stars that dot the sky, seeming to stretch endlessly as far as she can see.
“I didn’t think it was to stargaze.” Keyleth laughs, elbows him teasingly. She hesitates before sitting across from him, leaving a few inches of space between them.
Neither of them says anything. Keyleth drums her fingers against the wood. It’s rough beneath her fingers, grooves worn by time. “I wasn't expecting you to say that. No one’s ever said that to me before.”
Once again, the word seems to spill out seemingly of their own accord.
Vax chuckles, “I didn’t mean to scare you with that.”
“You didn’t scare me.” Keyleth’s words come out quiet, barely audible. “It just surprised me.”
Silence falls over them once again, a comforting blanket of familiarity. “I feel the same way.” Her words come out as a whisper, so soft the smallest gust of wind could carry them away.
“I just, I’m not good at this sort of thing.” Sighing, Keyleth shifts her gaze back towards the window. The inky black draws her in, seemingly making everything disappear.
“I’ll wait. I care about you, you know.” Keyleth meets his gaze as he says this. Her lips curve upwards slightly, smile growing wider.
She’s acutely aware of him leaning in, the space between them shrinking rapidly. They’re close enough now that barely a few inches separate them. “I know. I care about you too, Vax.”
Keyleth hesitates before leaning in, pressing her lips against his, world falling away as everything comes together.

Flora's faces || A Little Discord
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Virginia Ruth Goldschmidt-Carroll
"Agent Eris?" Nixon couldn't conceal his surprise at seeing the girl. In the dim moonlight, she didn't look much older than eighteen, her face still round and soft. She was not at all what he had expected. Her hair was tied up in a headscarf like one of the factory girls Nix had seen in newsreels but wisps of brown curls peeked out at her nape. She couldn't be the spy. The girl who had been in Europe for two years and who had managed to survive being compromised in the field.
"Lt. Nixon, a pleasure to put a face to the name," Agent Eris dipped her head in greeting. She extended a hand for Nixon to shake, saying. "Do I have something on my face?"
She did. Copious amounts of dirt and grime and was that blood? But that wasn't what Nixon had been staring at. Nixon shut his mouth, which had been hanging open, he was ashamed to admit and grasped her hand in his own. 
"Agent Eris, good to finally meet you. Are you ready?"
Eris laughed softly, holstering her pistol in the pocket of her muddy coveralls, that was peppered with burn holes. "I've been ready for nearly a week. Where were you two days ago?"
Nixon opened his mouth to say, "England," but the agent barrelled on with the force of a tank. She was commanding, looking at the squad of soldiers that were behind Nixon with an appraising eye...
...Captain Hester knew of Agent Eris's reputation and took her sharpness in stride. 
"Get us as close as you can," He said and she nodded. 
Nixon was still astounded. This girl, prickly and fiery but there was something in her eyes that he couldn't quite name. A softness that was still present no matter what front she put on.
"Yes, sir. Let's hurry," She said, tilting her head to listen to the now not so distant sounds of gunfire. "I don't have enough ammo to save all your asses."

Bleeding Hearts is 1 year today!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh hello friends!!!
I've literally been counting down the days until I could post this alfjsldgjksd which is:
BLEEDING HEARTS IS ONE YEAR TODAY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tumblr media
I cannot believe it's been a year already. So much has happened in the past year holy heck 😂😂😂😂.
I didn't think I would still be writing this a year later. I don't know what I thought would happen but I did not think I would get so attached to Lina Grace and her story (she totally owns my heart alfkjsldgk). Now it's an entire universe hahaah. I'm not really kidding lol. If you know, y'know :)
Bleeding Hearts is the longest story I've ever written. As of right now, it's 130k+ words and still a long way to go before being done. And then there's postwar haha :)
Writing this story has been such an insane ride. I started writing Lina Grace's story when I wasn't in the best place. I desperately needed an escape so I did what I always do: get lost in my head :)
In all seriousness though I've learned so much writing this fic and made so many amazing friends 🥺🥺.
@wexhappyxfew @how-are-those-nuts-sarge @tvserie-s-world @thoughpoppiesblow @iilovemusic12us @pxpeyewynn@incorrectbandofbrothersquotes and @liebegott y'all are the best and put up with my very incoherent, nearly constant screaming over this story 😂😂💜💜💜. i love you all and i don't know what i'd do without you 🥺🥺💜💜💜
and to anyone who has ever lurked or said anything nice about this fic: i love and adore you 💜💜
Anyways, Happy birthday to Lina Grace my fave chaotic disaster and all my other oc's that I absolutely adore 🥺🥺💜💜. Here's to another year 🥳🥳🥳

From Normandy to Toccoa
I did not expect to write this but y'know what, we're just gonna vibe with it. And this will probably get expanded on unnecessarily .
Carl never expected this to happen. One minute, he was crawling along the beaches of Normandy. And the next, he found himself back in 1942 in Toccoa.

📝: Everything is different under the cover of darkness. “Who are you?” Lina’s heart pounds in her chest. A lump forms in her throat as she glances towards the shadowy figure. “You can trust me. We’re all fighting the same war here.”
Anatolijus puts a hand up to silence her. When he speaks, his voice is barely audible. “Resistance members. We’re going to France.”
“Follow me.” They follow her through the door.
“You never said what your name was. I’m Lina Grace.”
There's a brief pause before she speaks, “Agent Fidel. You can call me Natia, though.”
