A while back, there was a multifandom challenge called
Wake Up Gay. It's long, long since over, but I happened to be reading over the DC'verse story (since I get most of the jokes now ^^;;) and... well, then I watched the Band of Brothers marathon on The History Channel. I don't think I need to draw you a diagram.
It's all very simple. The challenge is "what would happen if ____ woke up gay"? How's a girl supposed to resist?
This is entirely fictional, based on a television series that's based on a book that's based loosely on RL. It's like a game of telephone-- by the time it got to the screen, the message was considerably different than when it started. So, don't sue me or anything. All in good fun.
EDIT:Sorry about the locked post-- I totally forgot. *blushes furiously* I hope I didn't put anyone out. Please forgive me.
EASY COMPANY WAKES UP GAY
by Meredith Bronwen Mallory
Morning in Austria. The sun over the still, cool lake, whilst birds chirped and the mountains were... mountainous. And, in their makeshift bunks in a beautiful Ski Lodge, the men of Easy Company stir. And yet, something is terribly askew...
Richard Winters woke up gay, rolled over, and closely studied the face of Lewis Nixon, who was sleeping soundly beside him. He folded his arms behind his head, settled in with a smile, and waited.
Lewis Nixon woke up gay, several hours later, and blinked away the alcohol induced haze. He smiled at Dick, "Well, since we're in bed already..."
David Webster woke up gay, and suddenly had a new appreciation for the courses he'd taken in Ancient Greek Literature.
Perconte woke up gay, and wondered if Johnny Martin was still willing to rub his ass for him.
Joe Liebgott woke up gay, thought about for a while, and scratched out "make little Liebgotts" on his list of Things To Do After The War. He then went looking for Webster.
Bull Randalman woke up gay, smoked a cigar, and wondered how many cute enlisted men he could fit into a potato sack.
Cobb woke up gay, but it made absolutely no difference, as no one liked him anyway.
Carwood Lipton woke up gay and started running. Retreat did nothing for his anxiety-- after all, if German artillery couldn't stop Speirs, then the "D" company man certainly wouldn't be hindered by a little distance.
Eugene Roe woke up gay, and was rather pleased. He was, after all, extremely pretty.
George Luz woke up gay, and it was absolutely no different from any other day.
Babe Heffron woke up gay, and blushed even harder every time Roe called him "Edward".
Colonel Sink woke up gay, and was disturbed at the thought of having any sexuality at all.
Captain Sobel woke up gay, screamed in horror, and had some sort of spasm. He was found, sometime later, curled up in a corner sucking his thumb.
Bill Guarnere woke up gay, and was Not At All Pleased.
Lieutenant Dike woke up gay, but it didn't matter, because no one knew where he was.
Donald Malarky woke up gay, and continued brooding about the death of poor Skip.
Johnny Martin woke up gay, and swore so violently the paint peeled off the walls. He then flipped a coin to see if he should go after Bull or Guarnere first.
Harry Welsh woke up gay, and decided that this would probably be the last straw for Kitty. Bad teeth were one thing to put up with, but this!?
Skip Muck woke up gay... and dead. Sadly.
Joe Toye woke up gay, and decided his national holiday would include pageant festivities, as well.
Various unremarkable replacements woke up gay, and played double elimination tournament rock-paper-scissors to see who'd hit on Luz first.
Ronald Speirs woke up gay, calmly shot several innocent bystanders, and went off in search of Lipton. Everyone else was deeply, deeply afraid.
Feedback makes me sing. Really. Be thankful you can't hear it.
Hope you enjoy!
