Vietnam looked back, eyes-wide with surprise and curiosity. She looked at a young face, white skin underneath bright yellow hair, shockingly blue eyes piercing her. But those blue eyes, though brilliant they may be, was missing something, dull like coal. And around those eyes were signs of fatigue, days without sleep, weeks even. His grip on her hand was weak, weaker than a child’s, and his hands were cold. They were cold like bitter ice, inhumanly so ( ... )

Get a snack, this is long.Body-count war was what the Vietnam War soon became, meaning that victory was depending on who had the least amount of deaths. On news programs, they even had a counter for the number dead on the American side, and number dead on the North Vietnam side ( ... )

OP here! I enjoyed this story a lot! I especially love how you portrayed how tired the war made both of them and how even when they separated, they still met up with each other in the end (and I didn't think it was cliche at all). Maybe it's just me, but she's probably one of the only girls I can picture America being paired with...

Thank you for this lovely fill! I'm going to check out that documentary, it sounds really interesting.

Writer anon is so glad you enjoyed it~ 8D do watch it! It's quite good.

(and yeah, I kinda can only picture Vietnam with him, it's odd)

Oh my. Why doesn't this have more comments?

First of all, slightly off-topci: thank you so much for mentioning the Things They Carried. I'd read an excerpt of it a long time ago, loved it, intended to read the book but forgot about it. Thanks to this, I intend to actually go read it now. :| And I'm actually a bit more inspired to read it thanks to this.

Your fill was well written and I love your take on Vietnam's personality. I'd say more (because I really love this fill), but it'd take far too long. So just believe this anon when she says that this was lovely through and through.

And thanks for the notes. It's kind of like an epilogue of sorts. 8D;; Awesome job on your first fill, author anon. ./praise
