Generation Kill fic: an endless recovery

[oxoniensis]

There is so much brilliant Generation Kill fic showing up these days - it's bliss as a reader and scary as a writer! Anyway, this is a wee gift for shoshannagold (who wanted Nate recovering post OIF) and trolleys (who wanted Nate drunk-dialing Brad and also Brad breaking his leg, Nate stopping by to see he's okay and ending up practically moving in).

*giggles* oh, nate!! You survived a war, only to be bested by butter in your own home, lol! But this is a lovely story. I love the description of Nate's restlessness and he slowly finding his way.

Thank you!

I'm so glad that felt like Brad! And I have to confess, writing drunken Nate was probably the most fun bit!

I hope you got more sympathy than Nate!

This was so wonderful. I love the way you write their banter. It makes me smile. :)

Thank you - I do love writing banter!
