🍈 whether it's squeeing and/or angry ranting is dealer's choice

Okay, I could do a lot of different people but let's go with the conventional one: Hawkeye Pierce! The headcanon: Hawkeye believes in marriage. Hawkeye intended to marry Carlye Breslin. He took it as read that they'd moved in together and would marry when Hawkeye had completed his residency, got a job as a board-qualified surgeon, and could support a wife and children.

Hawkeye doesn't date married nurses because he believes in marriage and he uses rubbers religiously because he does not want to have a child outside marriage (or have to get married to the wrong person). Hawkeye performs abortions on request but would hate to have to perform an abortion on a woman he himself had got pregnant. Hawkeye in Korea is cheerfully promiscuous as a coping mechanism. He flirts with everybody, he chases unmarried women, he actually a two or three times thinks about getting married again (Once she turns him down for intensity, once he turns her down for racism, third time she leaves him to go south with a flock of dependents and two oxen.) In January 1950, Hawkeye Pierce was 29 years old, the beloved only son of a doctor in private practice, working like hell and learning in buckets in his last few months of a gruelling residency, knowing he is an ace surgeon, living with th woman he loves, looking forward to a future where he is married with kids and has a joyful career as a surgeon, saving lives and doing what he loves. In 1950:

the woman he loves dumps him

he finishes residency and is drafted

he has his 30th birthday in a MASH unit in Korea

he's made Chief Surgeon of the MASH unit meaning he will be ultimately responsible for every wounded soldier at the unit

his best friend since grade school dies on his table with Hawkeye's hands inside his body trying to save his life

Hawleye is coping with and reacting to a lot.

He loses Trapper: okay, he'll make friends with Trapper's replacement, same size, same shape. The woman he loves shows up again and it turns out that while they still have chemistry, he no longer wants to marry her. His new best-friend bunkie BJ, is constantly reading letters from home that sound like the kind of life Hawkeye wanted to have - married with kids.

Trapper and Henry Blake and Radar, all of whom got exactly how bad things were for Hawkeye, all get sent home, and he's left with a crowd of people who mostly met him when he was already Chief Surgeon and assume this level of responsibility and stress is normal for him. About the only people left who know it's not are the visiting psychiatrist, Sidney Freedman, and the unit chaplain, Francis Mulcahy - and in a weird kind of way, Margaret Houlihan, except that Margaret thinks that accepting/coping with stress/responsibility is a good thing. Hawkeye is always going to be friends with Trapper and Radar and Margaret and BJ - and Charles if Charles wants to and Potter, even though Potter is (that's another set of headcanon) the real replacement villain for Frank Burns - and Klinger, if Klinger wants to be friends, because Klinger is the kindest person at the unit. But thge only one he might end up with out of that group romantically is Trapper - because Trapper is the only one who let Hawkeye lean on him, where the others all wanted to lean on Hawkeye. If he ends up with anyone from Korea in a long-standing happy relationship at the end of the war - it's got to be either Sidney Freedman or Francis Mulcahy. Because while Hawkeye needs to take care of people, he will kill himself trying: he also needs someone wo would let himself be taken care of because Hawkeye needs to do that, but strong enough to be able to make Hawkeye accept being taken care of. I do not believe Hawkeye/BJ as a couple, because BJ is emotionally needy in all the wrong ways for Hawkeye . I believe Trapper/Hawkeye better as a couple but I think Trapper is never going to be faithful to one person, and I think Hawkeye needs that. I don't see Charles/Hawkeye as a couple because Charles is going to get married to a woman and Hawkeye wouldn't even be the second string. I cannot see Margaret/Hawkeye as a couple because Margaret very definitely wants a big strong man who will take care of her and dominate her sexually and who wants Margaret to be in charge of the relationship - and that is the exact backwards of how I see Hawkeye being happy. I can read all of these relationships and enjoy them very much but fundamentally I don't believe them. I think Hawkeye wants to be married, to one person, mutually faithful - a person who will understand and genuinely not mind that the first priority in Hawkeye's life is being a surgeon/doing surgery/saving lives.

What’s your favorite underrated thing in your fandom? (A ship that only you seem to write for, a character there’s almost no fics about, a trope that criminally hasn’t been written yet, etc.) The trope that hasn't been written yet: the moral conflict between Hawkeye, who was drafted, hates the army, literally orders people not to use his army rank, actively supports anyone trying to get out of the army, plays up to Klinger, and twice unnecessarily removed a healthy appendix in order to put a commanding officer out of action for a couple opf weeks so that he wouldn't kill his men on a risky mission.

and

Mulcahy, who was a volunteer (chaplains aren't drafted), campaigned hard to be promoted from Lieutenant to Captain,and more than once talked a soldier who was desperate to get out of going back to front ... into going back to the front. We don't ever find out whether Mulcahy knew about the two appendixes Hawkeye removed as sabotage, and that is a story someone should write, because I think the conflict is absolute: just as BJ saw it as wrong, so would Mulcahy.

🍉 I think the most fun to write is the one-idea short story. Drabbles are interesting to put together, but like writing a sonnet, the word count imposes a lot of constriction on the story. But a story exploring one idea, 1000-5000 words long, is both fun to write and easy to read. But the long multi-chapter story, which requires planning and structure, is undoubtedly the most satisfying to write.

For the fruit ask game: 🍌 In your opinion, what’s the funniest joke/reference/pun you’ve made in a fic?

Ah. Well. I think the funniest line i ever wrote was this:

“So that was your problem,” Sam interrupted. He shook his head, and his voice was politely informative. “No, it’s not.”

In my view this worked perfectly both as a joke which the two people present legitimately found hilarious, which makes people reading it snigger, and which, as a joke, you've got to read a fair amount of context to know why it's funny. I think I've written funnier stories, but that one line, just when the two men really needed to laugh, still strikes me as just perfectly funny.
