After writing a few fills, this my first request <3
An AU with Alfred serving in the US military and Arthur being his lover, but who isn’t in the military and resides in their house whenever Alfred is sent out. While Alfred is sent out on his next military operation, he has to deal with the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_ask,_don't_tell). However, some people in his unit enjoy talking about their lives at home (about their wife and kids), and Alfred (because he really wants people to know he has someone who loves him waiting at home for him) tells them about Arthur, except, he pretends Arthur is a girl. The rest of his unit then thinks Alfred has a woman waiting at home for him

BECAUSE ANON FAILS AT LIFE, THIS LITTLE PART GOES BEFORE PART B, AND AT THE END OF PART A!!!
I know this causes confusion, but my copy and pasting skills are limited... Eh he he... I hope you can look past this mistake! I wish we could delete posts on here!! Anyways...
Alfred wasn’t able to join a military school for four years. Yet, everyday his burning passion for joining military services never died. And once he joined the Royal Academy for Military Excellence, or RAME, that passion was only heightened. At the top of his class till graduation, Alfred F. Jones was going to fight for his father’s memory, his country, and the betterment of the nation they were occupying… Then he found another reason to fight for.
When he was sixteen, Alfred met Arthur Kirkland. Arthur was new to RAME, new to the military, and new to America. Alfred smiled when he remembered the teenager’s first words to him. Are you daft?! I asked you where the office was. Quit fucking staring at me and give me a valid answer! The Alfred in the present chuckled

Although he hated seeing his lover limited by his illness and in pain, he was glad that Arthur was at home… A year ago, the war in Iraq had gotten marginally worse. More countries started joining both sides and secretly, Alfred figured it was because they were bored. Maybe he was just delusional, but he wondered if the surrounding countries wanted to return to their glory days… He was probably wrong, because of the number of people completely uninterested in defending their country was too high. Operation Iraqi Freedom was a complete repeat of the first and second world wars… Although, no one would admit that World War Three was actually upon them

I'm so excited to read more of this fic because I think the prompt with the DADT thing is really interesting for Alfred's situation. Plus your writing is great and your setup for the story is promising. I can't wait :D

THIS. WAS. AMAZING
oh wow, what an incredible start to this fic! I noticed all the research you did, it was really amazing. The beginning allowed us to understand the background of the situation better, and it was written perfectly
thank you, thank you, THANK YOU <333
I love multi-chaptered fills, so the fact that you plan to stretch the prompt out is more than I could ever hope for <33
OH, there are so many parts I loved...the dog tags, Alfred's backstory, Arthur's poor heart condition, the other troop members...
everything is perfect and wondeful! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I eagerly anticipate the next part :)
Yay! 8D I'm so glad you liked this!! I was worried at first. XD That mix up in Part B threw me off a little, but I'm glad everyone was able to navigate it all right. :)
Thank you so much for reading and enjoying, and I should have the next chapter up soon! :)

:D Oh yes, I love it! Alfred/Arthur with the DADT? YES! Your lovely writing? DOUBLE YES.
The end P.S. note thing made me tear up. It's so touching. War is such a scary thing, no? Arthur must feel terrible having to wait at home, not knowing if Alfred's okay! Just tears you up, man.
8D Thank you for your nice comment! :) I'm glad you like this!
As horrible as it sounds, I'm glad you felt that way about the letter. I know war is scary and it's hard to imagine what it's like. :/ I tried to picture myself there, but even then I don't think anyone who hasn't been over there can write the experience perfectly. :)

Thank you so much for this. Really. As a dependent of a military person, and as a gay person, I'm just really glad that you are treating this so respectfully. Maybe being in Canada helps to alleviate some of the intense polarization and some of the horrible things that are said down here.

Wow . . DADT is definitely something important we haven't seen on the kink meme yet, and you're handling it well. I'm very interested to see where you go with this!
