Pairing: Merrill”Snafu” Shelton/Eugene Sledge

Rating Teen +

Summary:

Eugene was embarrassed. He’d stumbled across some porn on the internet and become obsessed. Everytime he watched something all he could think about was how Merriell had probably done it with someone else.

@sledgefuweek; day two; prompt: tarot the lovers; alignment - desire - union the lovers is considered one of the most powerful cards in a tarot deck. it represents the inherent and natural need for love, acceptance, and self-realization. 

in this card, our two lovers sit with space between them, together and not together all at once. neither is willing to step closer, either from fear or contentment, it is uncertain. what is certain, however, is that no matter the space or unspoken words that may lie between them, they’re exactly where they want to be...with one another.

Summary:

For better or worse, you’re the voice in my head and so much of what I feel I can only tell you. You know already what you mean to me. Deep within me, I know that will never change. At the start of it all, we were friends, remember? No matter what, I’ll always be your friend. If you ever need me, I will always be there for you.

Always Yours,

Gene

Author’s Note: Sledgefu Week! It’s here! This is my submission for Day 1: Letters. This is the longest Sledgefu story I’ve written so far, and the first one I’ve ever posted on AO3. I wouldn’t have found the courage to do so without the support of this fandom (that feels more like a family that is the fun kind of dysfunctional). Thank you to everyone who read excerpts and gave me feedback and keysmashes. 

A few warning apply: mentions of PTSD, mentions of drug use (opiods), allusions to period typical homophobia, and language. And it’s sad. Like, I don’t know how else to warn you about that. Just know, as sad as you might feel reading it, I felt sadder writing it. I woudn’t ask more of you than I would of myself. I hope, by the end, it’s worth it.

Other notes: I took some liberties with dates (and probably the growth cycle of tomatoes) because it’s my story and I’ll do what I want. 

Thank you for reading and Happy Sledgefu Week!
