don malarkey is a puppy and needs a hug

I've been reading a lot about Malarkey for my Don/Buck story, and this poor man needs a hug. He's also just, so adorable.

Ugh, the scene before they go where he's made food for them all. Combined with the bit in his book where basically the only thing that kept him going was looking after his platoon?

ALL THE HUGS! for Don.

Fic Recs

By Request Only by ThrillingDetectiveTales
Tec finally wrote Andy/Eddie, and it's adorable and sweet and you should read it 💕💕💕

Long Ago and Far Away by churchkey
Gorgeous, lyrical Toccoa era Winnix fic about tumbling into love as young men with the world as their feet.


Also a couple WIP that I'm really enjoying that have updated recently:

1961 - Those who are lost by harin91
Lovely domestic Webgott about dealing with trauma and getting to know each other again. Doesn't update often, but is worth the wait.

i, too, have known autumn too long by 3milesup
CANON-ERA LUZ/TOYE! It's angsty and delicious. Updating pretty frequently.

Tec's fic is effin magical. <3

Also, very excited to check out the WIPs! I haven't really invested in too many multi-chapter fics in this fandom, so it'll be nice to change it up. Thanks for the recs, Mucca!

Re: Fic Recs

I'm always hesitant to rec WIP because there's a danger that they never get finished, but personally I often enjoy reading along for what we get, and if doesn't have an ending ever, the ride was fun.

So much nice stuff!!!

I have so much to fangirl on this week!!!

Okay so first of all just know that I loved mucca's Bread and His Name which is a great shot at the prompt about Bull showing up at Johnny's doorstep after the war and it's amazing. (but all her Johnny/Bull are amazing, jsyk)
I know, it's long, but it's worth it. Totally ripped my heart out of my chest. In a good way.

Oh and then there is a writer on the GK fandom that I'm so hyped about because she posted TWO stories that I found this week that are AMAZING. I'm talking about military_bluebells and she wrote these two Brad/Ray that I loved: the gayest shit and sickness isn't synonymous with weakness!!!

I love how she portrayes in here the relationship between the two of them showing that they can be soft to each other (without getting too soft like I sometimes think I might do) and yet still so much in character!

Aaaaand last but not least!!! This amazing art!!!

Isn't it beautiful??? It makes me want to write 50k about them!!!
