There are things men can do to one another that are sobering to the soul. It is one thing to reconcile these things with God, but another to square it with yourself.
Below the cut, you’ll find all the fics I have written for Band of Brothers and The Pacific. It’s pinned to the top of my blog for easy access. Happy reading!
Band of Brothers
the long bright dark (multichapter, part 1 of form & void) Ron Speirs/OFC, Ron Speirs/Chuck Grant War chose Ronald Speirs a long time ago. He has always claimed to be at peace with that. Now, as his life finally leads him into battle-torn Europe, he believes that he is entering his final months of service. With the thought of death a near-constant companion and the rush of combat running rampant in his veins, he may yet be forced to re-examine what it truly means to be bonded to a god..
Spoils of War (one-shot, part 2 of form & void) Ron Speirs/OFC Ron wishes to honor his god. There is only one way he knows how.
sing of peace in this valley deep (one-shot, part 3 of form & void) In Belgium, the choices some gods make weigh heavy on their chosen. They leave one nurse to pick up the pieces.
and cry your name out to heaven (one-shot, part 4 of form & void) Ron Speirs/OFC Ronald Speirs isn’t made for peace. He’s made for her.
so the earth can grow more flowers (one shot, part 5 of form & void) Shifty Powers/Floyd Talbert When the war is over, new life takes shape. Floyd Talbert doesn’t think he has a hand in its creation, until love finds a way to disagree with him..
to Babel, in ruins(one-shot) Ron Speirs/Chuck Grant Chuck knows recovery isn’t a linear event. Knows there are times when words will leave him and the night will place him back beneath the dirt. Knows there are things he just can’t speak about. Captain Speirs hears him anyway.
pulse(one-shot) Ron Speirs/Chuck Grant Ron Speirs knows how to kill. Knows how to hurt, how to twist, how to maim. He doesn’t think he’s figured out how to love, not really, not where it counts the most, but the touches he reserves for Chuck Grant beg to differ..
spark the embers(multichapter) Ron Speirs/OFC He pulls her out of a fight, but she’s still spoiling for something that will keep her hands busy. Luckily, Ron Speirs has never been one to back down from a challenge.
the trouble with wanting is(one-shot) Ron Speirs/Lewis Nixon Lewis Nixon’s third jump very nearly kills him.
aethon(one-shot) Ron Speirs/Joe Liebgott The taste of victory lingers on Joe’s tongue, sharper than any words he can utter, and he’s the one in control of the blade this time. What if you fly? his captain seems to want to say. What if you fall? he counters, and drives the knife home.
this dream of you(one-shot) Don Malarkey/OFC It starts off as a joke between them. An actual marriage isn’t on the cards, not really, and they’re certainly having plenty fun without it. But then his letters come, with all his grief scrawled out in the pages, and somehow it’s not really that much of a joke anymore at all..
oh please, give me mercy no more (multichapter, crossover with MercuryGray’s The Darkening Sky) Ron Speirs/OFC Before the war, she hadn’t known the first thing about vampires beyond movies and some old tales her mother had attempted to shield her from. Now, with one as her commanding officer, she has learned most of the tales are half-truths at best and the real deal turns out to be a good bit more complicated than she anticipated. Billielikescomplicated.
shone more bright than midday sun (one-shot, crossover with MercuryGray’s The Darkening Sky) Ron Speirs/OFC Haguenau is nothing like the forest. As Easy Company is suddenly bogged down by more supplies than it ever asked for, Billie Mitchell begins to learn how to navigate command.. one injured captain at a time.
the divine knife (multichapter, crossover between form & void and MercuryGray’s The Darkening Sky) Ron Speirs/OFC Ronald Speirs has been chosen by War for as long as he can remember. Now, in the middle of the European war theatre, he begins to teach another what it means to summon divine War at one’s fingertips.. but Billie Mitchell takes to her choice far differently.
The Pacific
meet me in the margins(one-shot) Leckie/Hoosier He should’ve known the man better, but Leckie’s slowly beginning to realize he doesn’t know Hoosier very well at all.
{A/N: Oh hey! So i have been real like MIA on this blog, i am sorry…but i wrote a thing, now i haven’t seen the pacific but all the posts of rami as snafu already have him as my favorite character ever! So i wrote a thing for him. Also ‘Mouche a mielle’ means honey bee…like so many stories have french and no translation and i’m like “yeah me too hon hon hon spicy baguette to you too snafu” but any whore enjoy…}
“You come back….breathing…don’t care if its not all of you…but you come back breathing…..promise me” his pinky locked around hers a simple nod, a bite to the thumb, a spit to the ground. He promised her.
“What 'bout you snaf? Got a lady back home?” Snaf turned towards everyone nodding “Indeed i do….” He knew she was waiting at the same park…feet sliding in the dirt under her slow swinging feet, just like when they were kids….she waited for him…after school, after work…and after he had tracked through hell…
At his stop he stood waving and passing by fellow soldiers, his feet hit the train platform looking around he saw woman and kids, parents soldiers reconnecting with the small normality they had stored inside there mind. Merriel looked around before pulling his bag up his shoulder, walking through the crowd, his mind wandered to those who stayed on that island hell, blood seeped forever into the mud and sand, the families on the platform who would get a flag and salute instead of the warmth they waited for. Merriel waved a taxi down nodding politely to the driver “Mcnathy park please…” The driver nodded “How long ya out there son?” He looked up “14 months….” A nod then silence, he appreciated it, soon the lamp lit park pulled into view as Merriel stepped out reaching for his money, the driver shook his head “No charge for you son…you paid enough out there, god bless,” snafu nodded, watching the taxi drive away. He looked around the neighborhood hadn’t changed, still the same humid night air, bugs chirping, he slowly walked into the park fingers running along the fence.
He saw her shadow, swinging slowly looking up at the sky, her voice slowly getting louder as he walked up to her
“Will this circle be unbroken….by and by…by and by…will you bring him home to me….” He smiled setting his bag down, walking up his hands wrapping around hers on the chains of the swing, her voice stopped as she jumped slightly, he leaned down close to her ear “Guess who kept his promise…” Her head turned seeing him, eyes watery, lip quivering, “Merriel shelton…Mon cher….you…you’re…” He smiled kissing her softly but passionately, hands still wrapped over hers, he could feel her tears, he pulled back pressing his forehead on hers
“Mouche a mielle…i made ya a promise, 'ave i eva broke a promise to ya?” She laughed “I missed you….so much….so…so much” merriel smiled nodding, watching her pull away from him hopping off the swing, walking around over to him, still the short doll he had left, she smiled rushing forward, arms around his neck, he gripped her waist tight lifting her off the ground, her laugh breaking the silence of the night
“My darlin little doll, i ain’t neva gon break a promise, ain’t neva gon leave ya again! Eva!” He spun her around smiling at her laugh, still bringing the rush of jitters to his stomach, his hand came up as he leaned back seeing her, hand cupping her cheek “Ain’t neva goin any where, not wit out ya, i promise ya that” merriel leaned forward capturing her lips again….he would never leave her again…never…
Anyone else just get a little buggy when you remember that the real Snafu actually went and got off that train and literally diDn’t see Sledge for almost 40 years? Cause it makes my bones vibrate with sadness
