What the heck's a June of Doom?
This is a month-long prompt challenge/ list/ event/ thing that focuses on whump, angst, hurt/ comfort, and the like. Despite the air of doom it exudes, this challenge is very relaxed—your mod knows life happens but you still want to be part of your fandom(s), and sometimes you can't just sit down 30 days in a row to write/ art/ create. So, this list is out stupid early every year so you have the chance to prepare and particiapte! It's never too soon to Doom!
Rules
Tag your stuff with appropriate warnings, plzkthnx.
AI-created content is highly discouraged and frowned upon. I have no way of "checking", but I respect the time and effort people put into their crafts and encourage everyone to do the same. This isn't a contest for best written or prettiest art — it's a challenge, so challenge yourself.
Be cool. We're cool here. Don't like, don't read. Don't start none, won't be none. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. Let people be happy. 💕 (But if someone's comin' at you within the confines of this challenge, let me know ASAP.)

Hey, so Imma be writing more M*A*S*H fics for Sicktember because I apparently have not got it all out of my system yet. And I was hoping for a second beta reader. @sarasplenda does a fantastic job and would like some assistance with this batch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ❤️
Here it is, all of the M*A*S*H fics I have written for 2025's June of Doom (using last year's prompts by accident.)
Huge shout out to @sarasplenda for beta reading all of these, serious props. Could not have done this without you! <3
And want to give credit to @taylortut for being an inspiration after reading basically all of her M*A*S*H fics.
Anyway, it's a long list, 30 stories centered around Hawkeye Pierce, so just click below if you're interested~ Hope you all enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
DAY 1 - "Help Me" (Fetal Position): A Bad Case of Food Poisoning
Hawkeye comes down with what he assumes is a rough case of food poisoning. However, after it persists for a few days and symptoms advance past what is normal others aren’t convinced.
DAY 2 - "It didn't have to be this way." (Made to Watch): Not Getting off the Hook that Easily
A routine call to the OR quickly goes awry when one of the patients lashes out in a state of panic and goes for the closest threat which just so happens to be his doctor, Hawkeye. The others have to play it safe before more harm is done.
DAY 3 - "Well well well..." (Ambushed): Trade Deal
On the way back from a conference in Seoul, Hawkeye and Trapper are forced from their vehicle when a tree blocks their path. Turns out it was no more than a trap for the enemy to one up the pair and use them as a trade offer for some supplies.
DAY 4 - "Does that hurt?" (Impalement): Order of Priority
The 4077th is dealing with another artillery attack while also handling numerous incoming wounded. It doesn’t make things any easier when one of their surgeons is injured in the bombing.
DAY 5 - "It's not as bad as it looks." (Bite): Time is of the Essence
Hawkeye and Trapper don’t remember volunteering to go on the ten mile hike, but somehow they end up in the middle of nowhere, off the trail where a different kind of danger lurks.
DAY 6 - "They don't care about you." (Broken Glass): Shattering Confrontation
Some of the doctors and nurses are taking cover in post-op while under enemy fire when one of the patients has an episode. Hawkeye tries to subdue the man before anyone can be put in danger but puts himself in danger in doing so.
DAY 7 - "What Happened?" (Stumbling): Deadly Taste Test
When Hawkeye comes into the mess tent, stumbling and slurring, Frank suspects the man is in another drunken stupor. But as Hunnicutt helps him back towards bed, he realizes something is off and this isn’t the work of excessive drinking. It becomes apparent that whatever is wrong with Hawkeye was intentional.
DAY 8 - "This is your last chance" (Chair): Just Answer the Question
After a nightly outing, Hawkeye notices someone rummaging around in Colonel Potter’s office and makes the mistake of getting a closer look. His curiosity gets him into a hostage situation for information, something he doesn’t have.
DAY 9 - "I made a mistake." (Accident): A Simple Procedure
Hawkeye had been feeling under the weather for close to a week and had been gradually getting worse. It turns out to be no simple illness when he needs emergency surgery and none other than Major Winchester is just the man for the job. Or so he thought until he made a rookie mistake while operating.
DAY 10 - "Can you hear me?" (Smoke): No One Left Behind
When the camp is under attack once more, they have no choice but to load up their wounded and leave the camp until it all blows over. Post-op had been hit during evacuation and Hawkeye doesn’t hesitate to run back in after a patient that’s still inside; however, he doesn’t get back out completely unscathed.
DAY 11 - "We're out of time." (Bleeding out): Any Ideas?
Wounded arrive while the camp is under fire from a sniper. Hawkeye and Hunnicutt take a risk in heading out to collect their patient. During their retrieval mission, the sniper manages to hit one of his targets, hitting Hawkeye in the thigh. Now they have two wounded men to save.
DAY 12 - "I can't stand seeing you like this." (Dehydration): Within My Control
After some rough sessions in OR, the 4077th loses more than one patient and the high death toll weighs heavily on Hawkeye’s mind. The most unlikely man, however, doesn’t let him deal with it alone.
DAY 13 - "Wait!" (Sacrifice): Perfect Match
When the camp gets an ambulance full of wounded, one of them is suffering from severe blood loss. Due to a shortage of blood, Hawkeye volunteers to donate some of his own, giving a little more than he can handle.
DAY 14 - "What were you thinking?" (Human Shield): Take one for the Team
When wounded arrive by chopper one of them has a live grenade on them that drops as help arrives. Everyone flees as quickly as they can other than Hawkeye who hesitates in order to pull the wounded man out of immediate danger but ends up taking the brunt of the hit as a result.
DAY 15 - "Get me out of here!" (Rescue): Not Safe Anywhere
During a shelling, Hawkeye has to make an emergency trip to the supply tent. However, an explosion goes off, causing one of the shelves to collapse, trapping him underneath. Unable to free himself, he has to wait until someone comes looking for him.
DAY 16 - "At least it can't get any worse." (Stranded): Wrong Direction
While returning from R&R, Hawkeye and BJ are involved in a jeep accident when it gets a flat tire. With Hawkeye injured and unable to walk, BJ has to leave him behind in order to get help.
DAY 17 - "You don't want to do that." (Desperate Measures): Something to be Proud of
When Hawkeye and Radar are tasked with making a delivery to the 8063rd, Hawkeye starts to come down with something. He makes the mistake of thinking he can make it until they get back to the 4077th but things escalate quickly, forcing Radar to get his hands dirty in order to save the captain’s life.
DAY 18 - "I'm Fine." (Headache): A Well Deserved Rest
When things get a little stressful around the 4077th, Hawkeye forgets about the few things one needs to do in order to care for oneself. He’s forced to take care of his body when it gives him no other choice.
DAY 19 - "This can't be happening." ("I'm not ok."): "Allergies"
It’s spring and Hawkeye’s allergies are acting up. But as things carry on, more symptoms develop that don’t quite add up.
DAY 20 - "I can handle it" (Neglect): Worried Sick
When Hawkeye hasn’t received a letter from his dad in some time, he starts to fall apart and stops taking care of himself.
DAY 21 - "Let's play a game" ("Please don't leave me."): Can't Sit and Watch
The bus breaks down while Hawkeye, BJ and Charles are on the way back to the 4077th. With no other way back to camp, the three of them have no choice but to start walking. The biggest obstacle during their journey, however, is a cold that Hawkeye’s been trying his best to ignore.
DAY 22 - "What's the bad news?" (Cauterization): Trained to Help
Hawkeye accompanies Father Mulcahy in spending a day with the orphans. On the way back to camp, the chaplain veers off the road, hitting a mine. Hawkeye is injured in the incident and Mulcahy has to act fast before he loses too much blood. Despite the chaplain’s efforts, Hawkeye isn’t out of the woods.
DAY 23 - "You're doing great." (Trembling): Surprisingly Human
With back to back patients, the residents of the 4077th barely have time for rest, some even less than others. With Hawkeye barely able to stand on his own two feet, he’s kicked out of OR in order to take care of himself.
DAY 24 - "Let's get you cleaned up." (Stitches): Slow Night
During a slow night shift in post-op, Hawkeye steps out for a moment to get a drink. In that short time, two of the patients have an altercation which he attempts to de-escalate only to get caught in the middle.
DAY 25 - "I should have listened to you." (Failure): That's an Order
After refusing to leave the OR when told to, Hawkeye makes a fatal mistake in his exhaustion. Devastated by the loss, he goes missing and is found at the bottom of a bottle, alone and drowning in his own guilt.
DAY 26 - "Don't lie to me." (Paranoia): No Problem
After yet another hangover, Hawkeye swears he’s never going to drink again. Despite everyone telling him he has a problem, he denies it, even when his own body is telling him the same thing.
DAY 27 - "Or what?" ("Who did this to you?"): No Excuse
Hawkeye runs into a soldier at the bar and they strike up some small talk, but things take a quick turn when the man discovers his friend didn’t make it and Hawkeye was the one who operated on him.
DAY 28 - "Say something." (Numb): Asking for a favor
Hawkeye runs into company on the way back to the 4077th. He’s asked to help a wounded Korean soldier, which he obliges. But when it’s clear it’s a losing battle, his captor decides to incentivize Hawkeye with force, holding him against his will.
DAY 29 - "I'm so cold." (Fever): Blood Stains
Blaming illness on dust and dirt can only work for so long, and Hawkeye learns that the hard way.
DAY 30 - "Breathe, damn you!" (Asphyxiation): Peppermint
This has been the most ambitious project I have done I feel. I have never finished an entire month's worth of prompts for an event and am so proud of myself for finally doing it.
First day of June of Doom (Where I accidentally did the wrong prompts, did last year's because I can't read). Day one of a month of Hawkeye Pierce suffering. Enjoy!
An a huge thanks to @sarasplenda for reading through all these for me. Been a blessing and a half with these!
