Summary
Cher, Snaf calls him all through the war, through mud and wet and blood and offal. Cher, Cher, Cher, every turn, every chance, and through the full spectrum of emotion a man might feel. Comedy, anger, fear, joy, affection, relief, warning. Fear. Whatever meaning it might have, Snafu gave it a million more, and by the end of it, Eugene responded to it as readily as he would his Christian name, Gene, or Sledge.

While your interactions with Lieutenant Riley started out cold and tense, he's been warming up to your secondary specialty. Apparently, you make for a great stress-toy.

Summary
You dip your toes in, wade up to your chest, swim out to where you can’t touch the bottom, and sink.
—
Eugene wonders about the universe; about his path in it and whether or not the one that his parents set out for him is the one he truly wants. If he thinks through the problem logically, there’s no question about what he should do. However, love is not ruled by reason and Merriell complicates matters.Bookmarked by polyesterblend

Summary
“It’s alright, you know,” Snafu murmured after a few silent seconds, trailing one hand up the length of Eugene’s back so he could stroke through his hair. Eugene made a muffled noise of inquisition into the collar of Snafu’s shirt and Snafu clarified, “That you like it.”
“Like what?” Eugene managed, clumsily pretending at ignorance.
Snafu clearly wasn’t interested in indulging the charade because he provided with pointed immediacy, “When I call you my wife.”

Summary
Eugene’s never considered himself a good actor. Snafu, though? Eugene glances to him, not hearing the words coming out of his mouth but reading his expression well enough. The way his eyes linger on the photograph as he hands it back, like he can’t bear to look away from the woman in the print.
He’d looked at Eugene like that, after he’d kissed him.

Summary
Snafu remembered how he had stared at Gene while he was fumbling with his food can, on their first day of combat on Peleliu. How Gene had looked up and smiled at him and how this flame ignited in his stomach. Maybe Eugene only kissed him, back on the ship, because he was missing Sid’s blue eyes and golden curls.
---
Snafu starts to get jealous when they return from Peleliu to Pavuvu and Eugene starts to spend all his time with Sidney, who completed his last tour on Peleliu. Snafu doesn’t know if he should try to get Eugene’s attention or distance himself from him. A minor accident finds Snafu in the medic tent where Eugene pays him a visit while the rest of the Marines are occupied with movie night…Bookmarked by polyesterblend

Summary
Snafu stood in the doorway of his trailer, smoking the last of his cigarettes, watching the new guy haul his belongings into the trailer next door. The circus had its own mobile home community set up about a hundred yards from the big top. The trailer had been empty ever since Leckie packed up his typewriter and books and hit the road.

Summary
Joe shrugs. “I dunno, there just isn’t anyone I’d want to build my life around like that.”
“Well, sure,” Web says, rolling his eyes, “because you seem to find the most vapid guys imaginable. Maybe if you tried finding guys who weren’t like that-”
“I mean, you’re one to talk!” Joe exclaims. “Brian knew all about literature but he didn’t know shit about you. What’s the point of dating someone with the same interests as you if they’re not actually interested in you?” Joe throws his hands out, emphatic. This is always the thing about Web’s boyfriends. It’s like they tick all these boxes, and Web ticks all these boxes for them, but they don’t really see him.
It seems to sink in for Web. After a minute he says, “Well, he was actually pretty good in bed.”
“Sure he was.” Joe’s skeptical. A guy can surprise you, maybe, but guys like Brian rarely do. Joe’s pretty sure no guy in a sweater vest has ever really rocked his world. “I know you get laid. I mean, I know you getting laid doesn’t actually make you any less insufferable.”
—
Web and Joe have been part of the same friend group since freshman year of college 10 years ago. This year, something between them is shifting.

Summary
It starts out small, as they heave their way across France to Haguenau. Little things. Abandoned clothes they can strip into bandages, a half empty bottle of a clear liquor, thread and needles, and more scissors, when Gene inevitably loses his again. The occasional bit of a salvaged field kit, handed over like gold by one of the NCOs, usually Grant or Lip. Gene doesn't think about it much, at first. He’s too busy trying to make sure half the company don’t catch pneumonia, or collapse from exhaustion. But by the second or third time Lip’s ferried over a small stack of supplies, Gene’s suspicious.
Gene doesn't always know what to make of Easy's new CO.
