[EVENT] D-Day Prompt Fest!







Happy prelude to D-Day, friends! Even though we all know already that the historic launch is destined to be postponed because the Channel coast is socked in with rain and fog, we're celebrating the event that facilitated the creation of our beloved Easy Company by running a prompt fest. From today, June 5, 2020 until July 11, 2020, leave a prompt in the comments and gleefully await a fill from the fellow members of this comm!

While this fest is Band of Brothers exclusive, there's no minimum word count required, and you're welcome to post your fill either as a response to the prompt comment or to the collection on AO3. All works will be collected into a masterpost here on Heavy Artillery come July 12 when the deadline has passed, just like we did with our The Pacific Tenth Anniversary Comment Fest.

We'll close with a few rousing words from our dear regimental commander, Colonel Sink, to boost your morale and prepare you for the fight ahead:

OFFICE OF THE REGIMENTAL COMMANDER

Soldiers of the Regiment:

Today, and as you read this, you are en route to that great adventure for which you have trained for over two years.

Tonight is the night of nights.

Tomorrow throughout the whole of our homeland and the allied world the bells will ring out the tidings that you have arrived, and the invasion for liberation has begun.

The hopes and prayers of your dear ones accompany you, the confidence of your high commanders goes with you. The fears of the Germans are about to become a reality.

Let us strike hard. When the going is tough, let us go harder. Imbued with faith in the rightness of our cause, and the power of our migt, let us annihilate the enemy where found.

May God be with each of you fine soldiers. By your actions let us justify His faith in us.



Colonel Robert Sink

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'm in love with Mucca's Bill/Joe war paint fic. So, I'd love to see something similar with Winnix or BabeRoe or Webgott. <3

"What would we do without George Luz?"

A time when Luz saved everyone's sanity by being E/506's court jester, or a time when someone from Easy made sure Luz was alright, or a 5+1 in either direction.

Meehan doesn't die on D-Day and Winters finds him back in England where Meehan is in the hospital with his legs broken. They thought it all would remain just a one night stand or two in the past, but...
