You said I was your blue, blue baby and you were right

Oo, I've always wanted to do this meme! About to head home from work, but here we go! Yoinked from artaxastra, penknife and others:

Give me a story I've done, and a timestamp anything from a few minutes after/before to years after/before, and I'll write a quick ficlet related to it.

Master post is here, drabbles are here. I will respond as soon as I can! <3/♠/&c

drabble request, Προμηθεύς, easy with daemons in, we few we happy few, meme, dark angel, big dorky exclamation pointy zen master, writing

SERGEANT DDUB IN BASTOGNE. Heh.

Alternatively, Nixon and Waverly chilling out with the guys the evening after the original ficlet was set, because the officers and their bundle of disreputable canines are awwwwwesome.

OH. OH. There must be both. Holla ( ... )

AAAAAAAAAAA. *flail*

Oh, Norman. OH DDUB. This was a work of staggering genius. Somebody put it in the Smithsonian. (Also, dammit, did you just make me sorta-kinda-not-really want to ship Dike and Donniefied-Lipton? That's just wrong. Actually, mostly, I think it just pushed the same 'oh, Dike just needs a hug' buttons the series did. I am far too fond of him.)

newredshoes June 15 2009, 23:56:27 UTC

Muahahaha! I mean, er. I am glad you liked it! :-D (To be fair, the Dike I had in mind was totally the one from that Dike/Mothra cartoon? Would ddub honk if you grabbed his leg, or that an entirely different can of worms?)

Daemons to come below!

I have to second the request for more Nixon and Waverly, or, if you feel like it, bonus stuff from the everyone turns into a cat!fic would be AWESOME.

newredshoes June 16 2009, 01:47:54 UTC

Oh man, I totally will do both! Hang on, daemons first! <3 (Apparently all I want from them is endless romping ( ... )

Eeee! Oh my God, this is adorable, and the last line in particular made me cackle out loud.

newredshoes June 16 2009, 02:21:42 UTC

akjdhalkjg I really wanted this to be lighter, but, um... well, it's my own damn fault for not believing in happy endings this go round.

1946 and Sam rides the rails like an old man, eyes forward, hands clutching the door of the car. He's a rawboned seventeen and he wears the same face as so many of the vets shipping back. He sees them everywhere, men with no clothes but their uniforms, men with nothing but a duffle and a thumb to stick out. He talks to every one that he sees blousing his trousers; every paratrooper he can find, he checks for the Screaming Eagle patch. You Airborne? Hundred and first? Which battalion? Know anyone from Easy? He gets in a lot of fights. Guys don't want to talk. Nobody's ready, and nobody wants to discuss the generation of men sent forth to go break and be broken. Their jobs are done. Sam thinks they're lucky ( ... )
