    Summary

    In the fall of 1953, Eugene sends an ad to the San Francisco Chronicle. It reads:

    Professional single male, late 20s, located in Dogpatch. Clean, considerate & responsible, seeking similar. Pets O.K. Smoking O.K. First month + security up front. Contact Eugene for details. Serious enquiries only.

    Eugene is freshly divorced and outgrowing the life he had painstakingly made for himself after returning from war. Merriell is grieving, aimless, roaming the length of the Pacific coast looking for a place to collect himself. The first time they speak, Eugene is suffering a late summer nosebleed. Merriell had just pawned his mother's earrings for first month's rent. He moves in the same day.

    feat. splinters, workwear, payphone calls, cruising. the delicate hot-house flower that is merriell. eugene at his most neurotic. sea fog & starlings & improbably hot first time sex. the inherent insanity of falling for your landlord.

    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

    Easy Company quickly becomes pack. Lipton establishes himself in that pack, he's protective of his boys and takes care of them. But he feels the mate bond within the pack not just for one Alpha but three - two of who are already involved and in love. They fight the enemy and the circumstance to stay together. Four hearts are a lot to juggle during war but when has anything ever been easy for a paratrooper?

    Dick struggles to keep his mates safe as he moves through the ranks. Nixon fights to keep himself out of the bottom of the bottle and be there for his mates. And Speirs? Speirs just wants to be loved for the man he is, not feared for the gossip that has surrounded him. All three Alpha fight tooth and nail for love.

    (aka: Officer Ot4 where Dick and Nix fall in love hard and fast with Lip and Speirs slowly scoots in closer to the cuddle pile)

    Summary

    In a universe where humans colonized the solar system along Cold War lines, it's possible to create AI "replacements" of the fallen. In theory, replacements are perfect copies: same body, same consciousness, and Dick Winters has his reasons for wanting no part of them. But when the war turns hot and Dick dies on a combat mission, Nix impulsively arranges for his replacement. When Dick returns to the troopship Toccoa, everything has changed, except—theoretically—him. Now he must accept an unwanted new identity, while Nix comes to terms with his reasons for refusing to let Dick stay dead.

    Summary

    In 'Points', what if Lipton was shot instead of Grant?

    Told from Speirs' POV as the incident forces him to confront some things about himself, about Carwood.

    usual disclaimer, this is based on the fictional portrayal done by the actors
