Summary
Jack Kidd is a military man before he’s a military man, a boy raised by a soldier who was raised by a soldier who was raised by a soldier. The Great War spared his dad, gave him scars, gave him medals.
“The army made me who I am today,” his dad says to him, a thousand times, as he grows up. “The best and hardest things I’ve ever done, I did as a soldier.”
Jack Kidd is a military man by the time he’s seven years old.

Summary
Companion to "Say it (like you'll come back)" by the incomparable euph0riac...
Easy's been at war so long they don't remember what it felt like before. There's been very little that they've been through that feels anything like a victory, and so when the chance to do some actual good comes along, well. It's all really rather predictable, isn't it?
OR
What would happen if Bucky got sick during the Stalag march?
What would happen if Easy Company were close enough to help? -

Summary
None of it happened on purpose. None of it was supposed to happen.
For Babe and Gene, going to war involves a lot more finding home than either of them had expected. It's not quite that simple, of course, because nothing in war ever is, but it's closer than you might think.
*can be read as a stand-alone*

Summary
Margaret thinks about lying, when Ev asked her what she thought of James Douglass. But she's pretty sure she's going to marry this man, and she doesn't want to get into the habit of not telling him what she's thinking.
"I think he might be the saddest man I've ever met," she says, and isn't shocked by the shock on Ev's face.

Summary
Ronald Speirs and Carwood Lipton have both lost parts of themselves they can't get back.
The war takes even more from them, but gives them a chance to find each other.
You don't need to have read them to read this, but this story takes place in the same universe as all the strangest things keep happening and the sound of a soul in tune.

Summary
Joe drives his cab, Chuck plays Call of Duty, and Babe just wants to pass Biochem; their apartment is like Grand Central at the best of times and that’s without the two possible fugitives they decided to harbor in the guest room; Luz’s life is turning into a terrible romcom about a coffee shop; Harry’s friends are bad at running a bar but they’re trying their best; somebody got punched in the face; and someday there will be a New York Times Bestseller about all of it.
Or, the interlinked soap opera-worthy drama of a group of millennials in Philadelphia, told day by day.

Summary
John gets sick before the march.
He doesn’t get better during it.Not that Gale is surprised, the march is enough to drive healthy people to death, to send men dropping to their knees, never to get up again. It scares him that it could be John, that there would be nothing in the world he could do to stop it.
But for now, John is strong, the strongest man he knows– and that will have to be enough.OR
What would happen if Bucky got sick during the Stalag march?
What would happen if Easy Company were close enough to help?Series

Summary
"He’s gone,” Gale placed a hand over Bucky’s, his other hand moving to grip the back of his neck and squeezing. “He’s gone, John.”
The hand underneath Buck’s spasmed, closing on air as Buck managed to prise it away from the dead boy’s throat, keeping it captured in his fingers so that he could feel the thrum of Bucky’s pulse in his wrist and know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he was alive."
-
Bucky is late coming back from a mission without Buck, and a storm's closing in.
