Round 2: Fic Summaries
Rough draft submission has come to a close and we have a wonderful 7 drafts from which our crafters will be able to choose.
Since we have many more crafters than drafts, multiple claims of drafts will be allowed.
How claims will work this year is the summaries will be posted up for a full day before claims go live so that everyone will have a chance to look over the summaries and determine what drafts they'd like to claim. Then on Friday this post will be opened up for comments and people may claim the drafts they'd like to work with. Only after all fics have been claimed once will a second round of claims open and so one until all crafters that desire so will have claimed a draft.
I apologize for not putting up a poll asking when a good time for claims would be. Hopefully the following time will work out for most people.
Claims will open Friday at 2p.m. PST GMT -7/ 5p.m. EST GMT -4/ 9p.m. GMT
Please comment with the numbers of your top 3 choices.
First come, first serve.
MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL ONLY OPEN AFTER EVERY FIC HAS A CRAFTER.
SECOND CLAIMS ARE NOW POSSIBLE.
1. 1st claim: kymericl
Title: You who are my home
Fandom: Generation Kill, with minor The Pacific and references to Band of Brothers
Characters/Pairings: Brad Colbert x Nate Fick x Ray Person, Snafu, Eugene Sledge, Walt Hasser, Gabriel Garza, Hoosier, Leckie, Mike Wynn, Eric Kocher - with mentions of/or minor Brad/Ray, Nate/Gabe, Snafu/Sledge, Hoosier/Leckie, Reporter/OFC, Walt/OFC

Summary: It starts with a kidnapping. Christopher Fick owes money to the mob and Godfather decides to call in his debts. It’s up to Brad and Ray to secure the money as they see fit. When he doesn’t come up with the money quick enough, they kidnap his son, Nate, to hold as a hostage until he can. But time is running out and without the money in hand, Nate’s life may be on the line. So he strikes up a deal, he’ll spread his legs to make up for whatever money his father owes as long as they don’t kill him. The aftermath is much worse than the ordeal itself, leaving Nate struggling to deal with panic attacks and a twisted desire to be held down and fucked all over again. It doesn’t matter what he tries to get it out of his system, the need won’t go away. He spends months trying to avoid the issue, not talking about it with his family or his best friend since childhood, Walt, only for it all to come crashing down the first night he’s back in DC after graduating. To the amazement of all of them, Ray manages to convince Nate to come home with him. One night, he says, for them to get this out of their systems for good. Except, one night becomes two, becomes more, becomes weekly, and it’s not just about sex anymore. Somehow, without any of their approval or acceptance, this thing between them has become so much more.
