Ah, Winnix. I have no recs for you, since I'm not particularly reading for the slash (though camp_toccoa is where it lives, and other things live at aldbournewhores), but I do have some amazing gen stories you should check out!

Whose Faces I Do Not Recall - Father Maloney, the company chaplain (you saw him briefly in "Carentan" and "Bastogne"), and his perspective on the boys of Easy.

The Green Grass Stretches - Totally amazing portrait of Speirs.

Before I Spill the Things I Mean to Hide Away - This is about Tipper, the guy who helps trick Sobel and who gets his face blown up in "Carentan."

And Chaos Is Luck - This. Is freaking. Incredible. It's fifty one-sentence stories. It's incredible.

Also, you might like this. There are more lurking here, but those are the ones that stand out.

Thanks for the link to the Speirs fic! I suddenly feel the urge to revisit the fandom.

Sure thing! (It's amazing how it sucks you in -- I always have a pavlovian urge to go "Motherfucking Ronald Speirs!!!" whenever I see his name. All shall love BoB and despair!)

(Also, kaydeefalls? I did a little digging, and it looks like you want no_vices for your fix.)

Oh, yeah, I just dug that up myself. I'm always wary with general fic comms, because so many of the fics in any given fandom are just plain crap -- especially with popular pairings -- but I'll try wading through it. Thanks!

Speirs is so motherfucking crazy, he's hilarious. I love him just casually ripping the drapes off the walls of the Eagle's Nest as he loots his way across Europe.

Yeah, watching Harry Welsh swat his hand away from Hitler's silver is really kind of its own reward.

You know me, always happy to feed the habit help!

I have just finished watching Currahee. Damn, there goes my week...

(Ahaha. It took me ages to figure out that the actor's on Gossip Girl. One day I blinked and went "OMG that's Speirs! No wonder I thought he's hot.". I am slow sometimes.)

Now, I love GG, but there are so many times where it's more fun (and satisfying!) to imagine that Rufus is actually Speirs in disguise, and he's just biding his time before he offers somebody a cigarette.
