Summary
August, 1944-- European Theatre
112th Infantry Regimental Combat Team, AKA the “Bloody Bucket” DivisionIt is a little-known fact that, in war, there exist three sides: the attackers, the defenders, and the environment itself. Humans can be swayed by their emotions, but the Earth feels nothing for those waging war on her surface. The battlefield does not care who you are-- it swallows the faithful and the damned alike.
Dennis Whitaker still believes in saving people.
Colonel Robby knows better.Between the dying and the dead, prayers and exhaustion, and hands that refuse to stop reaching-- something fragile takes root.
But in a war that devours everything in its path, even hope can feel like a sin.
or
Dennis Whitaker never intended to enlist, as a medic or as a soldier. Now that he's here, though, he's going to save as many lives as possible, or die trying.

Summary
In the past few weeks, it had become tradition for Kaz to meet the sharpshooter for waffles. At first, Kaz had been annoyed with the concept; he would have preferred to enjoy his mornings alone. Though Kaz was loath to admit it, after the first week, he started looking forward to Jesper's company. Despite his usually flippant attitude, he was a good listener, and discussing things aloud helped Kaz think, but he certainly wasn't considering a relationship with the sharpshooter.
It wouldn't do any good for him to be distracted, and Jesper would be better off with Wylan, living in a mansion and helping the merchling with paperwork. Jesper's infatuation with Kaz would fade, and they would both continue as if it had never taken root. Then, perhaps, when all that he defied finally caught up to him, Kaz might have remembered it, in passing, and been able to savor the taste, if only for a moment.
Kaz was no fool; he knew once he indulged his feelings for Jesper, there would be no turning back. Kaz was already dreading the day Jesper met the wrong end of a knife; if he allowed himself to grow further attached-- he didn't dare imagine. It would be infinitely worse.
A post-Crooked Kingdom Kaz/Jesper AU!

Summary
It’s probably going to go down in history as the worst kiss Steve Harrington ever got, but Eddie doesn’t give a fuck. He isn’t going to get another chance so he’s working with what he’s got. It’s less of a kiss, and more of a slide of lips, wet with blood and tears but he feels Harrington’s grip tighten on the back of his shirt and he pulls back. He reaches up with the hand he can still feel and pushes back a strand of hair that had fallen in Steve’s face, smearing blood along his temple as he does.
“Sorry. Couldn’t die without knowing what that felt like.”

Summary
Inej Ghafa did not hold many truths, but she did hold one: she was poor. Her status was more elevated than some, but she held no title. The land she held was meager, her inheritance moreso, and, were she to marry, both would transfer to her husband. She was no great beauty; she did not speak French, or play the harp, or draw. She had learned from a very young age that there were not many great prospects for her in life unless she married advantageously. She had decided at that same age that only the deepest of loves would ever persuade her into matrimony, and therefore, she was likely to remain poor. And so the truth was this: when the world is against you, you must learn to hold yourself as if it is not. You hold your head as if you wear a crown. You learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived.
It was a truth universally acknowledged, that when the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.
A kanej/wesper pride and prejudice au!
