Ethan Hawke as Sgt. Will "Won't" Knott in A Midnight Clear (1992) — I'm having my usual trouble, noticing how beautiful the world is, just when I might be leaving it.

We gained a few miles of European real estate and lost the beginnings to untold generations of very bright people. I think the army considered this a good deal.

Self Rec Fic Authors

If you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Thanks a lot for the tag, @nuttersinc It’s different to pick favourites in any of these categories, but here are a few fics.

The Great Lambada Craze of ’89 (and ’24) (Payneland, M, 27k)

Noticing how affected Edwin still is by Niko’s death and his torture at Esther’s hands, Charles devises a plan to both cheer him up and possibly – hopefully – restore his ailing magical powers. If he chooses a somewhat unusual route and so happens to learn (and finally acknowledge) a few things about himself in relation to his best friend and their relationship, all the better. He gets help from Crystal and Wispy, the agency’s newly acquired “pet” – and, interestingly, from Edwin himself.

The Petition (Payneland, T, 6k)

Among the doomed souls of Hell, Edwin Payne, the boy who escaped (twice) is famous. A true legend. An inspiration.

Among many of the demons, he is infamous, because bloody, thrice-blessed Edwin Payne is a notorious troublemaker who inevitably means extra work, stress, and even punishment from Down Below. So what can be done to get rid of that nuisance once and for all?

A Midnight Clear (Johnlock, T, 16k)

It’s Christmas Eve, and Sherlock is working. Because that’s what he does. He doesn’t need Christmas, or holiday cheer, or even company. He’s fine on his own, thank you very much. That’s what he keeps telling himself, until a series of strange encounters on his way back to Baker Street makes him reconsider.

Slipstream (Johnlock, M, 290k)

It’s going to be the last Tour de France for professional cyclist John Watson. Despite the hardships of cycling more than 3000 kilometres in three weeks, in blistering heat and torrential rain, over dangerous cobblestones in northern France and the mountains of the Alps and the Pyrenees, battling thirst, hunger, injury and exhaustion, not to mention bitchy rivals, doping allegations, and the ever scoop-hungry press, he is going to enjoy the ride, damn it. That’s what John keeps telling himself – until he meets his new teammate, Sherlock Holmes, who adds a whole new list of problems as well as an extra dose of excitement to John’s life.

Nightjet (Johnlock, M, 22k)

Officially deceased for eighteen months and still looking for the last remainders of Moriarty’s criminal empire, an exhausted Sherlock boards a night train in Germany to bring him to his next hunting ground. Due to a mishap with the sleeper cars, he is forced to share a compartment with a stranger – who turns out to be not quite as strange as Sherlock thought. The universe isn’t lazy, after all …

Hi there, fellow military whump comrade! What kind of military whump are you more into? Please tell us some of your favorite military tropes!!

hello military whump comrade!!!

i like a lot of military whump tropes!

one of my favorites is definitely language barriers. i love when two characters are trying so hard to communicate without the aid of a common language, especially if those people are enemies. i love the frantic hand gestures. i love characters doing their best to appear harmless. i love characters being forced to follow unknown orders in a language they dont understand. i love characters trying to establish a tentative peace with only their actions.

that sort of leads me into one of my other favorite tropes which is enemy caretakers. i made a post about this one. language barriers between a whumpee and an enemy caretaker is one of my absolute favorite things in military whump (A Midnight Clear is a great movie for this)

some other tropes i really love are medic whumpee, shellshock and/or ptsd, and forced labor (Land of Mine is a VERY good movie with this)

thanks for the ask!!! :)
