FRONT ROW AT THE GONGSHOW Andrew ‘Ack Ack’ Haldane/Edward ‘Hillbilly’ Jones 16K+, found document fic

I finally finished the “accidentally outed hockey AU” that nobody asked for! If you’re into stories told through text threads, tweets, op-ed articles, podcast transcripts, Reddit threads, and chatlogs, you just might enjoy it. Here’s a snippet to pique your interest:

You all remember Eddie Jones, right? The corn-fed captain of the New Orleans Rougarou so wholesome he belongs on a box of Malt-O-Meal? The gentleman bruiser who spends his free time playing country tunes for kids with cancer?

Our favorite dapper D-man led his team to 97 points last night in a shut-out victory against the Los Angeles Kings, clinching a playoff spot for the first time in franchise history. Oh! And he also got caught on camera at the after-party, sucking face. WITH A DUDE.

Read it here on AO3.

LUCKY STRIKE MEANS GREAT TASTE by ThrillingDetectiveTales on AO3 Bud ‘Runner’ Conley/Robert Leckie 1K+, no major archive warnings apply Summary: "Holdin’ up alright, there, Peaches?" Runner asked, voice low in deference to the sleeping Marines slumped across every surface, and brought a hand up to rest against Bob’s shoulders. "Oh, sure." Bob nodded as well as he could, folded over the water-slick taffrail like a sack doll. "Fit ‘s a - urp." He pressed his mouth closed and squeezed his eyes shut, wrinkling his nose when the captured breath burned its way out. He stayed there for a long second, gut tight and nostrils stinging, then sighed, "Fiddle," when he felt confident he was no longer about to lose the evening’s mess over the bow.

BY REQUEST ONLY by ThrillingDetectiveTales on AO3 Andrew ‘Ack Ack’ Haldane/Edward ‘Hillbilly’ Jones 2K+, no major archive warnings apply

Summary: Andy huffed a breath and turned his head just far enough to murmur, “S’at?” “Hmm?” Eddie dragged his fingers up over the crown of Andy’s head and back down again. Andy groaned, eyes rolling even though they were still closed, and sighed, “Y’r singin’.” “Oh.” Eddie’s fingers stilled for a second and then he curled his hand into a self-conscious fist against the ball of Andy’s shoulder, brushing his knuckles up and down. “Ain’t nothin’. Just a song I like.”

AT THE ORDER OF MYTHS BALL by Muccamukk on AO3 Sidney Phillips/Eugene Sledge 1K+, no major archive warnings apply

Summary:  "I told Mary," Sid said, voice blurry with rum, "I told her, I said, 'I'll get Eugene Sledge on that dance floor if I haveta lead him myself!' and she said she'd like to see that, and here we are."

AND PROMISES TO KEEP by Lt_Aldo_Raine on AO3 Eugene Sledge/Merriell ‘Snafu’ Shelton 1K+, no major archive warnings apply Summary: But Sledge looks at Snafu with those weepy, puppy dog eyes of his, the honey golden specks in the chocolate irises shining in the hot pacific sun, and Snafu feels his resolve crumble. “Oh, goddamn it.” OR: The boys find a dog on Okinawa. Sledge wants to keep it.

Loose Lips Sink Ships Prompt of the Day: THE PACIFIC, Andrew 'Ack-Ack' Haldane/Edward 'Hillbilly' Jones, Haney notices what's going on between Andy and Hillbilly (maybe even before they realize it themselves) so it's only a matter of time before he takes their CO aside and gives him the shovel talk.
