All We Know has reached December.

"I'll tell her we'll have Christmas Eve on December 24th no matter what she has planned, and you'll talk to her tomorrow," Sherman said. "I have plans for after supper." Mildred beamed at him. "I never get tired of hearing that," she said, and handed him the eggnog. "We'll be eating inside an hour."

"Oh, there was one more thing Mother wanted to know. She was putting up the Christmas cards this afternoon, and we got one from Father Mulcahy." Another kind of silence from the other end of the line, and then Hawkeye said brightly, "Nice card?" "Lovely," Sherman said. "How long has the padre been staying with you?"

Happy December 10th, Sherman and Mildred! All We Know in Sins and Virtues

If you have never watched AfterMASH, skip the next sentence. If you did, then just to let you know, in the universe of All We Know, the first season of AfterMASH happened but without Father Mulcahy: thereafter everything in the AM timeline happened differently.

WIP game

So, I was tagged by @marley-manson to post a snippet of my WIP in progress, and a scorching July seems appropriate for this Christmas in Missouri moment:

Mildred ran Christmas like a four-ring circus. Madge, Evelyn, and Jeannie were the other ringmasters. "I made eggnog," Mildred offered. She poured him a glass.

"Does Cory still collect stamps?" "I don't know," Mildred said. "He did last year. Better save the good stamps for him just in case. Oh, I'm expecting a call from Evelyn about Christmas Eve, so would you field it and tell her I'll talk to her after supper?"

"I'll tell her we'll have Christmas Eve on 24th December no matter what she has planned, and you'll talk to her tomorrow," Sherman said. "I have plans for after supper."

Mildred beamed at him. "I never get tired of hearing that," she said, and handed him the eggnog. "We'll be eating inside an hour."

Madge had always come to Mildred for Christmas since her Bill had died, and since Evelyn was grown and married and Jeannie married Tom, as Mildred had noted kindly, she'd been planning family Christmases with Madge for thirty years when they couldn't count on him even being home for Christmas, and now they had a daughter and daughter-in-law, each with families of their own. Logistics and planning were Mildred's job. Sherman got the small chores. Like cinnamon, and addresses.

The snug was where Sherman smoked cigars and where they both watched television, though Mildred was talking about getting a bigger set for the sitting-room. The sofa facing the television was just big enough for two, and the other half at this moment held nothing more exciting than a pile of empty envelopes with address, and the Christmas card address book, and a spare envelope to save any interesting stamps for Cory, just in case. He was fourteen now, after all -

Sherman mentally corrected himself. Cory was now sixteen. He'd be going to college in two years. Well, he would be if his grandfather had anything to say about it. Boys who didn't go to college were getting handed draft notices awfully fast these days, and Sherman had been given reason to remember what could happen to boys who got drafted to a war that wasn't a war.

The telephone rang at his elbow. Sherman picked it up. "Hello, sweetheart," he said.

"Darling. Hello." said a very damn familiar and unexpected voice.

"Hawkeye!" Sherman nearly dropped the phone. "I was expecting - I thought you were my daughter - " "I always thought I was like a son to you," Hawkeye said. "But daughter, fine, I can do that too. How are you?"

"Fine, fine," Sherman said. "We're all fine here. How are you?"

The rules: post a snippet of one of your WIPs. The tagged:

Happy anniversary Sherman and Mildred Potter - Feb 2nd

[violettesiren]

Last night I reached out the window, Took three twinkling stars Off their tacks, Crumpled them And sprinkled the stardust Over my closed eyelids. And what do you think? I dreamed of you!

Les Etoiles by Mildred Potter

[mash-rated]

S11E7 “Settling Debts”

Synopsis: Mildred writes to Hawkeye to ask him to organize a surprise mortgage-burning party for Colonel Potter after she pays it off early

Rating:

Jokes: 4/5

Seriousness: 2/5

Plot: 4/5

Queer subtext: 2/5

Margaret's characterization: 3/5

My thoughts: it’s been a while since I tossed out a “favourite”, but this one deserves it. The story really gives everyone a chance to shine and, apart from the vengeful sergeant subplot, it’s full of fluffy fun (at least by M*A*S*H standards)
