Recommended if you: Enjoying bouncing off your walls, screaming and chewing on your arm because they are skin to goddamn skin and somehow it's still burning so SLOW and so GOOD post-war. (More thoughts under the cut!)
Art featured is a mock up I based off of Armed Services Editions. This one in particular uses elements from the original book cover for War of the World by H.G. Wells, fonts from the time period, and detail from John Singer Sargent's 'An Artist in His Studio' (1904).
Domestic and brimming with so much sexual tension. Post-War fics my beloved. George lights up the room and chews on his insecurities between half-jokes. Joe runs hot most days but is so soft around the edges. Second shower back stateside made me shriek. So tender—any time I think about it I feel my heart quite literally being tugged down.
Loved Caoimhe's exploration of the paratroopers vs. the rest of the army even in post-war. The whole "big and aggressive" description of irl Web for Dick permeates for so many in the airborne and it grounded this fic in the time period so well. Can't stop thinking about that detail.
Been a while since a fic kept me up 'til the wee hours of the morning and god I loved this so, so much. I've dabbled in some LuzToye here and there so 80k words of it was such a GIFT. Easily became one of my favorites. Re-reading it feels just as rewarding as the first time.
