Fic Summaries
Here are our fic summaries for this year's round.
1.
Title: Making Clouds From the Ashes
Fandom: Generation Kill (HBO)
Characters/Pairings: Brad (it's his POV), Nate, Ray, Walt, Poke, and a few of other GK characters; from HP series: Ginny Weasley, Minerva McGonagall, and a couple of others, but all of them are secondary at best. As far as pairings go: Brad/Nate, mainly; background Ray/Walt and Poke/Gina; past Brad/Ginny Weasley is mentioned
Warnings: there's sex and swearing; as it is a post-war story, there are mentions of things that could happen to a person after that (nightmares and flashbacks, mostly, but there's also a mention of suicide /no one of the main or even secondary characters/)
Rating: NC-17, to be safe
Summary: Harry Potter AU/fusion. Brad, Nate, Ray, and others, are starting their last year at school a couple months after the Battle of Hogwarts. It's a story about that year, and about figuring out how to move on after the war and how to deal with the rest of their lives coming up fast.
2.
Title: (working title) Der Zirkus der Träume
Fandom: Generation Kill/The Night Circus (Erin Morgenstern)
Characters/Pairings: Brad Colbert/Nate Fick, Ray Person/Walt Hasser, Evan "Q-Tip" Stafford/John Christeson, Mattis, Ferrando (Godfather), Mathilda (OFC), Lilley, Jenny (OFC), Doc Bryan, ensemble (Poke, Rudy, Patterson, Dave McGraw)
Warnings: minor character death, non-graphic violence, somewhat child abuse (slicing of fingertips-TNC canon)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: (working summary) There is no such thing as magic. This is not war; it's merely a fight between fire and ice. The arena is set. The opponents take their places in this forced face-off. The Circus of Dreams opens, and the battle begins.
3.
Title: Cave-in
Fandom: Generation Kill
Characters/Pairings: Brad Colbert/Ray Person
Warnings: Explicit sex, some homophobia, same levels of casual racism,
etc., as the source
Rating: Explicit
Summary: In Afghanistan, Brad and the newest member of his team, Ray,
end up trapped in a cave with nothing to do but talk. And, if Ray has
any say in the matter, fuck.
4.
Title: Have You Forgotten Yet?
Fandom: Generation Kill
Characters/Pairings: Brad/Ray, less explicit Brad/Nate, Brad/Morgana, vague Brad/Arthur
Warnings: (character death, non-con, smut, etc) Sex
Rating: NC-17
Summary: “There’s one last parade before they’re Oscar Mike. Motto bullshit but it keeps them focused. The sand continues to sweep over them, coating them in dust as they stand at attention. Brad feels the weary promise of Mesopotamia seep into him. He’s been here before. He hadn’t thought he’d be back.” Brad and Ray have been around since the days of Arthur and Camelot. Brad lives for the promise of the Future King and the hope of one more decent mission in the meantime. They’ve spent lifetimes travelling the world, fighting it’s wars, searching for that honour and brotherhood they’d found at the Round Table. It’s Iraq 2003 and it again feels like the world has gone to shit around them but there’s something about the LT that feels old and familiar to Brad and its making him face up to his history and his life in a way that he hasn’t done for centuries.
5.

Warnings: Implied Character death (Not a main character), Barebacking (because it's the 1530s)

Summary: Mercenary Brad Colbert returns to England after a mission to find the life he had left turned upside down. Young Nathaniel Fick is knighted and becomes a loyal aid to King Henry VIII. Brad is recruited to protect the Tudor Court after death threats become too heavy for the Court ignore.
