Howling Commandos, dwindling band

[anonymous]

The Commandos congregate every few years to mourn the passing of their friends, and as the years pass, they have more and more to mourn.

Fill: We Few, We Happy Few

Dugan always gave the eulogy. At the end of the war, they each said a brief one about Barnes and the Captain, but after that, it fell to Dugan. He never asked why

In the early '90s---Dugan couldn't care enough to keep track of the years anymore---Stark shuffled off. This was the biggest damn ceremony, Dugan had ever been to, with at least a dozen speakers at the Kodak frickin' Theatre. He went last, after Stark's idiot son launched into a string of hostile, drunken ramblings about everything Howard Stark had ever done wrong.

"Well, I can't top Baby Anthony there, but most people can't. But I can tell you that Howard Stark had his reasons for all of that---most visionaries ain't perfect, anyhow. I didn't know him as well as some of you, but I think all of that started when he couldn't bring the Captain home. I think that's when it started for all of us

A few more years pass. Fury approaches him one ordinary day. He looks tired, but Dugan decides that's because it's from dealing with that Iron Man fiasco in L.A

Okay, you have me sniffling over here. Poor Dum-Dum! I'm glad Steve has someone from the old days.

I'd love a sequel with Peggy, but this is wonderful as it stands.

OP here.

It was wonderful. My favorite was Falsworth's.

You shoulda done Peggy's too, though.

The whole fic had me tearing up, but I flat out started sobbing at Falsworth's.

Fantastic work.

Do I detect a hint of Falsworth/Jones?

Re: Fill: We Few, We Happy Few (3/3)

[hermione_vader]

It's definitely possible, but not entirely intentional. Sounds like an awesome pairing, though...

This is absolutely wonderful. I was crying by Howard's, and Falsworth's was sadder still. The ending - wow, stunning. Excellent story.

Wonderful. You gave me goosebumps. Thank you very much.

Re: Fill: We Few, We Happy Few (3/3)

Well, this was just stunning. Thank you so much for writing - I definitely welled up!

Re: Fill: We Few, We Happy Few (3/3)

[hermione_vader]

Thank you so much! Oh, God, your icon is so pretty!

Re: Fill: We Few, We Happy Few (3/3)

[antiquitea]

You're quite welcome! And thank you! Band is one of my favourite things. ;)

[hermione_vader]

Oh, yeah, BoB is so awesome! Aw, and that icon! I love that scene!

That last linhe had me sniffing. One eulogy too many, indeed. I loved Dugan meeting the Queen. And Cap hugging Dugan and saying not alone. This was great.
