    Summary

    “Is it your first class too?”

    “Nah Gene, I’m teaching this bitch!”

    In an effort to save Gene from burnout, his friend and fellow medical resident signs him up for weekly lindy hop dance classes. He doesn't expect his instructor to be Babe Heffron.

    Babe was, in Eugene’s estimation, somewhere among the top three acquaintances whose health and safety he was most concerned with at any given time. He had absolutely no idea that Babe partook in swing dancing, let alone how he’s been granted a position of authority on the subject.

    This is an unoficial baberoe spin off of bingomanifesto's excellent series, A Kinder Fate.

    Summary

    The barracks had the kind of quiet that never felt complete. There was always some small sound in the background—boots scraping on the floor as someone shifted in their sleep, the rustle of a blanket, the faint sigh of wind outside. But compared to the noise of the day, compared to the rattle of gunfire or the endless chatter that filled their waking hours, this quiet was almost deafening in its gentleness.

    Summary

    The letter is almost unreadable, by the time Babe turns off of the interstate and into Baton Rouge. He ghosts a featherlight fingertip over the writing even now, long after the lead has been wiped away. He still remembers the word that had been there, feels it against his skin like he's a blind man reading braille. Cancer, it reads. Somewhere further down, another groove will spell out, low on time, first, then, nothing they can do. It's so cliche it makes Babe want to throw up.

    ----

    Or, the one in which Gene and Babe survive the war, go back to their homes, and try to lead their own separate lives--until Gene gets sick, Babe gets a letter, and it all comes crashing down.

    Summary

    If anything, Eugene Roe was a damn good medic. He took care of his boys, bared his teeth when necessary and wasn't afraid to stand up to his superiors.

    What hadn't quite settled in was the fact that the men were just as protective of him as he was of them.
