Generation Kill recs and fic: the glitter and fall

[oxoniensis]

When it comes to Gen Kill, I'm all about the Brad/Nate. What with the officer/NCO divide, and DADT and all their silent communication, there's just so much potential. But there's been some great stuff in other pairings just lately, so here are three non-Brad/Nate recs:

Aww, no! I love this! NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE! ♥ I love that Brad is more thrown off guard by Nate's tears than he would be by a combat jack. But he's a BAMF Marine, so he sucks it up and does what he needs to do. It's lovely.

(I am sure that much later, Brad can tease Nate about it and then Nate can exact some sort of porny revenge involving handcuffs and such!)

[oxoniensis]

Aww, thank you! I've been holding onto it for ages, too wibbly about posting it, so I'm really glad you liked it!

I love that Brad is more thrown off guard by Nate's tears than he would be by a combat jack.

Hee, guys cannot deal with crying! It's just the worst possible thing for them!

[joans23]

Massive fail? No, no. I call this epic win!

He keeps his hand on Nate's neck, fingers curled into the small dip at the base of Nate's skull, one small point of contact. Not porny, but oh so intimate. Love!

[oxoniensis]

Aww, thank you!

I'm a sucker for tiny intimate moments, so I'm really glad you like that! <333

Don't go drive a humvee into a building! Think of the poor building! Think of the poor humvee!

That said... this is gorgeous. I like how you didn't porn it out, and I adore the way you started it.

Brad doesn't care that he's begging. This is Nate - Brad would do anything for him. ---> *sighs*

[oxoniensis]

I have to do it! Brad's life is at stake - and I promise you, there are circumstances that ensure that the humvee will come to know serious harm. I'm too fond of the humvees!

I like how you didn't porn it out, and I adore the way you started it.

Thank you! It's been sitting around for a couple of weeks or more, waiting for the porn, but it just felt wrong. So I'm glad it worked without!

[aboutademongirl]

Brad's life is at stake, and you choose to drive a humvee into a wall? Where are your priorities?!

[oxoniensis]

It's a rescue mission (Brad's been captured)! I promise it makes sense in context, truly!!!

[logans_mom00]

Well I for one am glad that you had already written this, because as good as whatever else you might have come up with would surely have been, I can't imagine not having this! It's just wonderful.

There's a dull pain in Brad's gut. He thinks he recognizes it. Guh...he kills me. YOU kill me, but in the best possible way. Thanks so much for sharing.

[oxoniensis]

Thank you so much! I must confess, I'm sort of fond of it, at the same time as I'm all embarrassed by it! *g*

There's a dull pain in Brad's gut. He thinks he recognizes it. Guh...he kills me.

I'm so glad you picked up on that little bit - poor Brad, fallen in love, it has to hurt a bit!

[nightanddaze]

You are so evil. Hold me while Brad holds Nate.

[oxoniensis]

Ah, but now they've had their first kiss (sort of), all the eye-fucking is going to get even more charged, and more, until they just can't contain themselves any longer and they're all over each other. Happy ending!
