the thing about speirs x roe is they’re opposite ends of the same axis.
Speirs has already accepted himself, and everyone around him, as dead. He functions only as a weapon, with no expectation of survival. He is already resigned.
Roe is surrounded by dying men, but see’s the potential survival in each & every one of them. No matter how brutally mangled, he must try to preserve every life. He can only believe in the chance of survival, or else he would have no purpose at all.
it’s a dead man walking x a man who carries hope down to the very last heartbeat

C'est Toi
Eugene Roe x Medic!Reader (Soulmate AU)
Masterlist
A/N: Hiiii @issiie / @cetaitlaverite !! Sorry again for the delay! This is the last gift from me, and I hope you've enjoyed them so far. I'm excited to release this fic! It is my first attempt at a soulmate au, so bear with me! I do not own any of these characters except for (y/n). Enjoy!
Summary: People never know when they'll meet their soulmate, but (y/n) would have never thought she'd meet hers in a hot, humid town in Georgia.
Warnings: mentions of wounds, blood, death, etc...
Tumblr media
For as long as she could remember, (y/n) (y/l/n) wondered if she had already met her soulmate. The small mark above her hip was a constant reminder of what, more like who, who was yet to come into her life. As she grew up, she always looked out for the matching mark on every boy she went out with, but soon grew tired of the chase, deciding that it would happen at the right time.
Before the "right time" could come, the world descended into war, and (y/n) enlisted, wanting to serve her country like the rest of the men in the military. After a rough time of convincing generals and higher-ups in the army, she was granted permission to be a combat medic in the 101st Airborne, Easy Company.
Basic was hard, but she made it through Sobel, even though he had it out for her especially. One thing that got her through the long runs up Currahee and the long lectures was her fellow medic, Eugene Roe. The Cajun was shy at first, but (y/n) soon brought him out of his shell when she started talking about the family she left behind. From then on, they were inseparable. You would rarely find one without the other, and if you did, you knew that they would make their appearance soon.
Before they knew it, it was the night of June 5th, hours before the "Day of Days" they trained for would begin.
Tumblr media
June 6th, 1944
After getting all geared up for the jump, (y/n) made her way over to where Eugene was making sure everyone in his platoon had enough bandages in their personal aid kits. Her stomach was buzzing with uncertainty and a twinge of fear as she waited for him to finish.
"Salut, ma chérie," he called to her, a smile painting his face. She could tell it didn't quite meet his eyes, though.
"Hey, Gene." She took a deep breath as she approached him. "Are you ready for this? Cause I don't know if I a-"
He gently placed his hands on her arms, squeezing softly to stop her rambling. "You've got this, (y/n/n). Don' worry, okay? We're gonna be fine."
At his touch, a warmth spread through her body, and she could feel a blush creep up her face. He was her best friend, so why was she freaking out at a simple touch from him?
Pushing through the feeling, a defeated sigh escaped her lips as she muttered toward the ground. "Promise me you'll be careful. Please."
He moved his hands to cup her cheeks, his soft browns peering into her (y/e/c) ones. "I promise, ma chérie. You too."
Feeling the heat from his breath on her skin, she glanced down at his lips before catching herself after a split second.
"Alright, Doc," she whispered, reluctantly stepping back. "I'll see you in France."
With a solemn expression, he nodded, scanning her face as if it was the last time he would see her, heart racing. Just before she turned away, he caught her wrist gently, pulling her into a tight embrace, burying his head into the crook of her neck.
When he finally pulled away, Eugene turned and walked towards his plane, knowing that if he turned back, he wouldn't be able to leave her. Doing the same, (y/n) took a deep breath, blinking away the tears that threatened to fall. They would see each other again. They had to.
Tumblr media
The unsettled feeling in (y/n)'s stomach didn't settle. Not even when she found Floyd Talbert on the way to the rally point. Not even when she linked up with most of the company at the designated point.
Only did the feeling subside when she laid eyes on a very exhausted-looking Eugene Roe. Along with this feeling, an invisible weight lifted off her shoulders as she saw him patching up a soldier in the distance.
"Gene," she whispered under her breath before running toward him.
The man he was helping started to limp slowly over to the aid station, and Gene stood up, taking a deep breath.
When she called his name again, his head shot up, and a smile instantly formed on his grimy face when he saw her. He met her halfway, throwing his arms around her middle, and pressed his cheek against her hair with a sigh.
"Je remercie le Seigneur," he murmured, "Thank you."
At that moment, Gene was more content than he had ever been before. She was living and breathing. That's all he'd asked for.
The time they were separated, though only hours, he felt like his heart was unable to beat properly until he saw her again. Throughout his journey through the forest of Normandy, the image of her smiling face kept him going, along with the hope he was going to see it again soon.
Pulling away, Gene cupped her face gently, searching her face for injuries. "Are you alrigh'? Are ya' hurt?"
"I'm okay, Gene," she mumbled, placing her hands over his. "I'm okay.
Tension thickened the air, and his heart began to beat out of his chest as she looked up at him with the most beautiful face he'd ever seen. In a split-second decision, he chose to finally tell her how he felt.
"Listen, I need to-"
"Medic!" he was interrupted.
(Y/n) nodded in the call's direction. "Go."
Scanning her face one more time, he ran toward the cry for help, already missing (y/n)'s warmth.
As she watched him go, she tried to calm her racing heart. He was alive. Gene was alive.
Tumblr media
The next few days after D-Day, they were ordered to take the town of Carentan. Supposedly, there was a company of German paratroopers holding the city, but no one knew for certain what they were walking into.
Gene and (y/n) were at the back of the formation of Easy as they waited over a hill on the road to Carentan. They watched Lieutenant Winters speak to Harry Welsh before giving the signal to go.
Nodding to each other, they began to run toward the town. Within seconds of the company moving in, a cry in German could be heard, followed by the dreaded sound of machine-gun fire. (Y/n) watched in horror as some of the men beside her were gunned down easily.
"In the ditch!" Winters yelled over the chaos.
Not hearing the order, (y/n) kept on running with the surviving men of 1st platoon into Carentan.
Gene's heart dropped seeing her sprint into the onslaught of bullets.
"(Y/n)!" He yelled, but she didn't hear him.
Dust sprung from the ground before her as she barely made it to cover with Harry and George Luz. Slamming into the concrete building beside them, Welsh looked behind them, realizing the rest of the company was nowhere to be found.
"Where is everybody?" He shouted as Luz shoot a few times around the side of their cover.
Taking cover, George hid behind the wall momentarily. "I have no idea!"
During this interaction, (y/n) was scanning their surroundings, trying to find any indication of where everyone was, especially Gene. At this point, her eyes were trained to find the bright white and red armband they wore, but she saw no trace of it.
'He'll be okay,' she told herself. 'He'll be okay.'
In less than a minute, the rest of Easy began swarming into the town, and that's when the first cry for a medic could be heard.
"Medic up!"
Saying a silent prayer, (y/n) took a deep breath and ran out into the chaos. Bullets whizzed by her as she found the injured man in an alleyway.
"Help me, Doc! It's my arm!" the soldier yelled when she slid down beside him.
"I've got ya, sweetheart. You're gonna be okay."
She pulled out her bag and sprinkled sulfa on the wound, bandaging it up the best she could. Once she was done, she asked the man if he could stand.
"I think so, ma'am."
"Good," she responded. "Go back toward our infill point and take cover there."
Just as the words left her mouth, another yell for a medic could be heard. Within two seconds, she was on her feet, making her way toward the next injured man.
"This is going to be a long and hard day."
Tumblr media
A good bit into the battle, Gene had treated many men but was yet to see his (y/h/c) counterpart darting through the streets of Carentan. This could have been attributed to the fact that the town was like a maze, different streets and alleyways made it hard to navigate it, even though it wasn't that large.
Taking cover in an old bakery, Gene glanced to his right to see Shifty Powers aiming his rifle at what he suspected to be a sniper. After he was done shooting for a moment, Roe called out to him.
"Powers. You seen (y/l/n)?"
He had to think for a second but nodded a few seconds later. "Yeah. I saw her helping someone with a shoulder wound not too long ago."
"Alright. Thanks," Gene responded, brows furrowing in concern.
'Where is she, now?' He thought, watching as men flew by the entrance of the bakery.
Tumblr media
"Medic!"
Like always, (y/n) went flying toward the sound, disregarding the danger she was putting herself in. Halfway there, she heard the desperate voice of Lip echo through the street.
"Move, move, move!" He yelled, motioning for them to take cover.
With a curse, (y/n) continued toward the injured man 10 feet in front of her. Before she could make it there, she heard the distinct whistle of an incoming shell, and the next thing she knew, she was thrown backward from its impact.
The breath was knocked from her lungs by the force of the explosion. Frozen, she tried to speak, but nothing came out but strangled gasps.
She vaguely heard someone call her name, but all she could focus on was the violent buzzing in her ears and a burning sensation spreading through her stomach. Trying to lean up on her elbows, she yelped at a sharp pain in her abdomen and fell back on the hard ground, hand flying to the area. When she pulled it away, it was coated in crimson.
"I'm h-hit," she whispered to no one in particular. "I ca-can't b-bre-breathe"
Suddenly, a body slid next to hers, their hands hovering over her.
"(Y/n)! Oh mon Dieu."
Gene. It was Eugene. Even though he was sick to his stomach, he pushed it aside and went into medic mode. She wasn't just another wounded soldier, but right then, he had to treat her as one.
"Ge-Gene?"
"Yeah, it's me, chérie. I've got ya. Hold on."
He hooked his hands under her armpits, pulling her toward a nearby building.
"Come on, sweetheart. I got ya."
Whimpers escaped her mouth as he jostled the wound when they moved. Just when they got around cover, Harry Welsh came sprinting around the corner, hand holding his helmet to his head. At the sight before him, his heart dropped. Everyone knew how close the two of them were.
"Doc, do you need help?"
"No," he responded, lifting her shirt to get a look at the wound. "Tell Spina what happened."
With a reluctant nod, Harry raised his rifle and went to find Ralph. Gene glanced at (y/n)'s face, which was covered in scratches and scrunched up in pain, and quickly gave her a morphine shot to the shoulder. Seeing her visibly relax, he felt a slight relief as well.
"You're alright, chérie. You're alright," he whispered, cupping her cheek gently.
"Thans', Ge," she slurred, eyes fluttering shut from the morphine.
He quickly got out a bandage and started to clean the wound, which he discovered was from a two-inch piece of shrapnel that was embedded in her abdomen. Sprinkling sulfa on the area, Gene froze when he saw a discolored area just above her hip.
Shaking the feeling away, he finished bandaging her up before wiping the area in question clean of any blood.
The shape of the mark was instantly recognizable. It was a mirror image of the one on his hip.
If they had matching marks, it could only mean one thing. His eyes widened at the realization.
They were soulmates.
"C'est Toi," he muttered under his breath. "It's you."
The young man's heart began to race at the thought, and all the feelings for her he'd suppressed since Toccoa came bubbling back to the surface.
He was pulled from his stupor by the voice of Spina.
"She alright?"
Gene cleared his throat, "Yea', she took shrapnel to the stomach, but it's out now. She'll have to come off the line."
"Shame. I know we really need her out here with us."
Glancing back down at her, he smiled. "You have no idea how much."
Tumblr media
Before long, they carefully loaded (y/n) onto a stretcher, and she was sent to the aid station. When she woke up, a familiar head of dark hair was resting on the side of the bed, his hand intertwined with hers.
Deciding to let him sleep, she watched him silently. Nowadays, a solemn look occupied his handsome face most of the time, so she loved seeing the carefree version of him.
"Glad to see you're awake," whispered Lip, who was laying on the cot beside her.
"Me too. What happened to you?"
"Mortar," he replied matter-of-factly.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Car."
He smiled softly, "Thank you. You too, (y/n). I know he'll miss you."
"I'll miss him just as much," she replied, running her free hand through Eugene's hair.
Shooting up at the action, he grinned at her sleepily, asking. "Hey, chérie. How are you feelin'?"
"Sore, but I'll be okay...What happened after I fell asleep?"(Y/n) paused. "I don't remember much."
Not expecting the question, Gene about choked on nothing just thinking about his life-altering discovery. "I just patched ya' up and brought you here."
Although he was the one who brought her to the aid station, seeing her all bruised and bandaged suddenly made the situation real. He could have lost her. Tears glistened in his eyes, and he dropped his chin.
"I'm so glad you're alright. I don't know what I'd do without you, (y/n). I mean it. When I saw you laying there...I had to-"
"Stop," she interrupted. "You're not gonna lose me...and I don't know what I'd do without you, either."
"Who else would patch you up?" He joked, rubbing her hand softly with his thumb.
(Y/n) chuckled lightly at the joke, followed by a wince. "Please don't make me laugh."
"Sorry, darlin', my jokes normally don't make anyone laugh."
Even though she tried to hold it in, a laugh escaped her lips, causing her to groan lowly. "Gene!"
"Sorry!"
They sat in silence for a few minutes until her eyes began to droop and she yawned. Eugene ran his hands through her hair gently, lulling her to sleep.
"Go to sleep, (y/n)," he whispered. "I'll be here when you wake up."
Tumblr media
October 1945: Zel am See, Austria
Over the 8 months since Gene found out about (y/n)'s soulmate mark, he was tempted to tell her many times but decided against it.
Even though he wanted her to know how he felt, he was going to wait until the war was over. The last thing he wanted was for them to finally get confess, only for one of them to get killed.
When the Japanese surrendered in September, everyone was celebrating, but once everything settled down, they began thinking about home, more importantly, who they'd be coming home to. Gene had been thinking about telling (y/n) more and more each day, and it reached a boiling point in mid-October.
The Austrian landscapes around them were some of the most beautiful any of the men had ever seen, specifically, a lake with a perfect view of the Alps. This was where he was going to tell her how he felt; a place that was untouched by war.
That day, the company was finally having a rematch baseball game from V-J Day after George and Frank, who were on the losing team, pitched a fit about it not being a fair game. While the rest of the company was getting ready for the game, Gene approached (y/n)'s billet door.
Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door.
Heavy footsteps came thumping down the hallway, followed by (y/n)'s aggravated voice.
"No, Frank. I'm not playing in the stupid ga-"
Opening the door, she froze mid-sentence when she saw the shy-looking Cajun.
Her heart skipped a beat at the sight, and a blush crept up her neck. "Gene! I thought you'd be playing in the game?"
He simply chuckled. "I'm not very good at baseball."
"Me neither," she started. "So, what brings you to my humble abode?"
"Since neither of us is playing, would you maybe want to go-"
"Yes," (y/n) interrupted. "Yes."
A smile broke out on his face. "Don't you want to know what I was gonna say?"
"Nope. Surprise me?"
"Sure."
Tumblr media
"Alright. Close your eyes for me." Said Gene as they came up to the special place he'd found for them.
She listened and held her hands in front of her with a laugh. "Okay. Just don't let me run into anything, Eugene!"
"Don't worry. I've got ya, chérie," he said sweetly, taking her hands gently.
Arriving, he turned her toward the lake, sliding an arm around her shoulders. "Open."
(Y/n)'s eyes sprung open and widened at the view. "Gene, it's beautiful!"
"Do you like it?" He asked sheepishly.
(Y/n) turned to him with a surprised expression. "Of course I do. Thank you."
This was the moment.
Gene gently took her hands in his once again. "(Y/n)," he whispered. "I love you. And I kno-"
He was cut off by (y/n) pulling his face down to hers, crashing their lips together. As they pulled away, she chuckled breathily. "Do you know how long I've wanted to do that?"
The young man was beaming with happiness. "Just how long?" he questioned.
"Since I found out we were soulmates," she said, shrugging her shoulders with a grin.
Gene's eyes went wide. "Wait! You knew?"
"Since Toccoa."
"How?"
"I think you forget that you slept shirtless in Georgia."
Running a hand down his face, he sighed. "Of course. I'm an idiot."
"No, you're not," (y/n) paused. "And I love you, too."

With All My Heart
Tumblr media
Summary: Let’s be honest who doesn’t enjoy a fluffy Dick Winters fic. I just can’t help myself. I also went for a header for this fic instead of a moodboard, I’m not entirely sure why but I quite like the aesthetic and i didn’t want to give too much away for the fic. Pairings: Dick Winters x f!reader
Tumblr media
Eugene sighed as he watched Y/n gag again, spitting out the remainder of her breakfast in spluttering breaths.
“Y/n, I’m real worried about ya. This ain’t normal, Chérie,” Eugene’s forehead creased as he smoothed the loose strands away from her face. Y/n gave him a weary smile, her eyes watery from the effort. The nausea had come in a sudden wave and she’d just made it outside, out of view when she brought up the contents of her stomach. Luckily, it had been only Eugene passing by otherwise she’d be in real trouble.
“Gene, I’m fine. I promise,” she tried to reassure him but Eugene didn’t look convinced, his handsome features set in a harsh glare, which reminded Y/n of the look he’d given Winters and Welsh in Holland after Moose had been shot.
“You need to tell him sooner or later. I suggest sooner because if what we’re told is true we are bound for the Pacific. I can’t let you jump out of a plane in your condition…”
“Would you keep it down, Gene? I don’t want the whole company to know,” Y/n hissed.
“Or Major Winters apparently,” Eugene added nonchalantly. You always hated it when the Cajun medic was right and he always took great pride in correcting her.
“I’ll tell him Gene, I promise. Just give me some more time would you.” Eugene nodded begrudgingly. She knew he meant well but she was still trying to figure out the situation herself. The last thing she need was for Dick to hear the news from the likes of George Luz or Nixon.
Y/n entered the temporary mess hall shortly after Eugene, having recovered from her early episode and took her seat between Webster and Talbert.
“You’re looking a little green there, Darlin’,” Bull commented from across the table and Floyd reached across to rest his hand against her forehead.
“You’re a little bit warm Y/n. Are you sure you’re feeling okay?” Floyd asked, which caught the attention of George, Liebgott and Webster who we’re all looking on expectantly.
“I’m fine. I promise,” Y/n tried to reassure them but just at that moment Chuck and Shifty walked by with more plates of food and the nausea began growing in her stomach again. The pair took their seat next to Floyd and Y/n fought the urge to run from the room, digging her fingernails into the wooden table to try and keep herself grounded.
“Y/n, are you okay?” Webster asked, at this point, Y/n realised she must look like she was going to be sick because Webster and Floyd both shuffled to the side a little.
The bile rising in her throat answered that question, “No!” Y/n felt her legs carrying her from the hall, hurrying down the steps and outside before her stomach erupted again and she felt herself choking on her stomach acid. A hand was placed on the small of her back and she tried to shake Eugene off again but he wouldn’t budge.
“Gene, I said I’m fine,” she spun round to face him but was face-to-face with the five officers.
“Y/l/n, are you feeling okay?” Dick asked, trying to keep a straight face but concern was evident in his eyes.
“I…I’m fine… umm Sir,” Y/n felt herself saluting the officers and they all just stared at her in confusion.
“You don’t look fine,” Nixon commented, seemingly amused by watching his friend try and fight the urge to comfort the woman he loved.
“No, you look like shit Y/l/n. Get yourself to see Doc Roe,” Spiers suggested and Y/n nodded.
“I will, Sir. Thank you, Sir.”
The other four officers continued towards the mess hall but Dick stayed outside, watching to make sure they retreated before turning back to Y/n.
“Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” He reached forward to touch her cheek but she flinched away, wiping her mouth in the sleeve of her jacket. “Talk to me, please. You’ve been avoiding me and I don’t know what I’ve done wrong.” Dick looked defeated, his forehead wrinkled and his eyes watched her sadly. Y/n hadn’t realised the effect her disappearing acts had on the Major. He was hurt.
“You haven’t don’t anything wrong, Dick,” she began but the tears were already beginning to trickle down her cheeks and she could no longer contain the choked sob that spilled from her lips.
“It’s all my fault,” she wailed, balling her hands into fists to cover her face. Dick was by her side in an instant, his arms wrapping securely around her frame.
“Whatever it is, we'll get through it together. You never have to hide from me,” he whispered into her hair but this only allowed for more tears to form in her eyes.
“No, you’re going to hate me,” she blubbered and Dick smiled at her softly, the corners of his lips turning upwards as he fought back a grin.
“I could never hate you. I love you, never forget that.”
Dick placed his hand on the small of her back, guiding her into the main house and up to his office, his hand never leaving her back and just that comforting touch helped to dull the emotions slightly. Once inside Dick’s office, he guided her to a chair and sat her down, kneeling before her, he placed a kiss on the palm of her right hand.
“So what is it? What’s wrong? Are you sick? Have you seen Doc Roe?” Dick’s questions came in a flood and Y/n barely had time to process them.
“I’m sorry,” Dick apologised, realising he was rambling like a madman. “Take your time.”
“Oh Dick, why are you so perfect?” Y/n asked, running her fingers through his red locks, as Dick blushed the colour of his hair.
“I’m pregnant,” she blurted out, no longer able to hold back the secret she’d been keeping for months. Dick’s face was every shade of grey before he finally spoke, “But how? When? How long have you known.”
“Well, I think you should know how Major. You know that night in Haguenau when we umm… on the desk and umm… and Captain Nixon walked in and…well you get the idea. I’ve known for about two months
“Two months! You mean you knew all this time and you didn’t tell me,” Dick's face was creased with lines of worry, hurt shining in his eyes and Y/n could feel the nausea growing in the pit of her stomach again.
“Dick, I’m so sorry. I was just scared that you’d hate me a-and you’d hate this baby… I’m so sorry,” Y/n could no longer control the floodgates that burst forth under Dick's hurt gaze but his eyes soon softened. Y/n could feel him pulling her towards him, his large hand pressed against the small of her back as he whispered, “I could never hate you, Y/n. I love you.”
Y/n froze in his arms, pulling away from the Major to look at him, “You mean that. You mean that, you’re not just saying it because of the situation.”
“No Y/n,” Dick replied earnestly. “I should have told you sooner. For Pete’s sake, I should have told you every day since Toccoa because I’ve loved you every day since Toccoa.”
Dick’s smile was infectious and soon the couple were laughing in each other's arms. “As for this little one,” Dick placed his hand gently against her slightly rounded stomach, “well I already love them with all my heart.”
“Oh Dick, I love you so much,” Y/n leaned forward, sealing her lips to Dick’s, as her hand found its way to card through his hair.
“Hey Dick, did you see… oh for Christ Sake will you two just get a Goddamn room.” Lewis Nixon’s exasperated voice rang out through the otherwise quiet room, his booming personality pulling the couple apart quickly.
“Lew, if you hadn’t noticed we keep getting a room and you keep barging in,” Dick retorted, straightening his uniform shirt as he spoke.
“Toché,” Lewis replied, waving his hand at them, “Carry on.”
Dick smiled at Y/n as Lewis slammed the door loudly behind him. “Right, where were we?”
“I don’t know,” Y/n replied, grinning mischievously, “But I recall that last time there was a desk involved.”
“Oh really,” Dick grinned back at her, “Well maybe I could refresh your memory.”

I DO HAVE A BOB REQ👀 it's heavy angst mixed with a comforting ending, but how would they react (whenever u want but in my faves are Liebgott and Roe) to them thinking their s/o (nurse maybe?) somehow died while saving someone or similar, but actually she managed to escape and run and she reconnects with the battalion a few days later? all battered and bruised but still alive EVEN BETTER IF SHE TAKES TO SAFETY THE PERSON SHE WAS HELPING because imagining them seeing their girl that they thought was dead coming back quite literally from hell alive is AGH💘
I LOVEEEE THIS!!! Thank you Anon I’m excited to write this <3 <3
Warning: mentions of death, grief, war, wounds, etc.
Easy Boys x EasyNurse! Reader - How They React To You Going MIA.
Tumblr media
Gene Roe:
- Gene knew (thinks) you were in the church as soon as he watched the bomb explode.
- He kinda freezes and he literally feels his insides running cold and a sickness go through him.
- Can’t be real, I can’t express the level of trauma, pure horror and devastation he feels in that moment. It doesn’t end, the whole time he fully thinks you’re gone. It doesn’t help that the rest of the company are questioning him and going through their own grief for your loss.
- He wants to escape it as much as possible but he knows he can’t. He feels like a statue, completely glued to his foxhole, he runs on autopilot and Winters is about to send him off the line.
- I feel like Gene would have a pretty bad breakdown (understandable) when he’s by himself so he’s not showing the full affects of what he believes is your loss.
- doesn’t help he has absolutely NO answers. He plays the moment over and over again, torturing himself by picturing your last moments, imagining himself being just an hour earlier and getting you out of that church.
- Gene even wished he was with you when that damn bomb went off.
- 3 days pass and Gene’s sat in his foxhole, alone, staring at the enemy line. He’s near enough given up, no gloves, no blanket, he can’t eat, cant sleep.
- “Doc, Captain Winters needs you, pronto.”
- He literally feels like a zombie walking to where he’s needed. All he can think of is you, it’s painful, he can literally feel his chest yearning and breaking and his grief is too much.
- “Yeah we found her running around with the I-company boys, got a little lost, didn’t ya’ nurse?” A man’s words cause Gene’s ears to prick. He can’t see anything but a taller man facing Winters and Nixon with a smaller figure, blanket huddled over- you.
- Ugh- feels like his hearts about to explode. Literally freezes and thinks he’s going to be sick. His heart accelerates and when he hears your voice he quite literally feels faint. 
- “got caught up with a patient there!” You turn around, sending a presence and both of you feel the intense hit of shock to be confronted with one another again. “Excuse me a minute…”
- All of a sudden you’re limping towards Gene. Your forehead is covered with 2 butterfly plasters and you have a nasty bruise under your right eye. Gene thinks he’s seen a ghost.
- Probably hesitates for a moment before you pull him aside, away from where the other men can see. “Gene.” You’d soothe and he’d let out a breath he didn’t even know he was holding.
- Crashes into you. Literally grips you so tightly, he feels like he can’t breathe, his eyes are teary and it’s not until you let out a small yelp that he pulls back.
- “It’s okay, it’s fine Gene, it’s just a bruise.” Hearing your voice sends him into a spiral and he’s even more careful now to pull you close.
- Holds a hand to the back of your head, practically cradles you with wide eyes.
- “I thought- I thought you was dead.” He admitted.
- “No, I got caught up with a patient. After the church got bombed I managed to pull a patient out, Billy from I company- got lost on their lines for a few days, they took me in.”
- Soon enough he’s stammering with quivering hands, checking over you, asking if you’re okay. Winters had called a medic after all.
- Can’t stop looking at you, questioning if it’s all a dream, you’d catch him pinching himself. “Don’t do that Gene, I’m right here.” With a small hand on his cheek he can breathe again.
- Holds your hands tightly, the most affection he can show you in front of all the superiors. He’s still extremely tense, in shock from the close call, but he promises to keep an extra close eye on you, and he keeps that promise.
- Kisses your cuts and bruises when nobody’s looking, probably runs his hand over his face in surprise quite a few times, but honestly he’s sooo fucking relieved, like he actually cried when he saw you.
- “I love you so much, ya can’t do that to me again, evuh’.” With his little accent and a serious tone, ugh he’s a sweetie pie.
Joseph Liebgott:
Tumblr media
- It happens in Eindhoven out of all the places.
- One minute you’re both celebrating together, with the rest of the company and the whole town and the next you’re not stationed with the rest of the nurses?
- The town gets bombed and barraged by the Germans that evening and he’s watching in pure horror. Recounts of nurses being KIA during the bombing spread real fast, and he refuses to believe what Battalion HQ are telling him.
- He’s shaking his head real fucking fast, denying and denying to all of them and himself.
- Throws a fucking riot- until he has to practically run off to be alone, wrenching and shaking at the idea that have could’ve happened to you.
- His anger and violence stems out of control, Winters removes him off the line real fucking fast, like he becomes a runner or something just for a break.
- Fraternisation is banned under all conditions, but relationships and affairs still take place, even the most superior of officers know that. So sometimes eyes are averted and now is one of those times that people choose to do that and help Liebgott through his grief.
- But 2 days have passed and it’s so raw, everybody’s in shock and disbelief at your lack of presence, for Joe he’s bottling up a painfully bitter feeling and he’s ready to explode.
- He never thought it would happen to you, you’re a nurse for Christ sake! Genuinely has to pause sometimes to just stop- like he can’t take it. Becomes so close to being sent to the aid station until one today he’s attempting to run a letter back to Battallion HQ when he see’s the back of a young woman wrapped in a blazer, overalls looking very familiar to your own.
- His heart genuinely gets shooting pains and he has to swallow the urge to cry as he watches this woman who painfully resembles you. Her khaki headscarf is bloody and he watches as another officer (he assumed from Dog) guides you inside the building.
- In fact he’s about to look away, until this girls head tilt to the side. He only catches a brief glimpse of her profile, Joe has to squint real hard when he feels his stomach drop.
- His mind has to be playing tricks on him so he turns away as the nurse rushes to aid a man on a stretcher.
- Slams the jeep door, literally kicks a dint into it as he storms his way through town. He just wants to deliver these fucking letters as fast as possible.
- “No, no, he’s German. He helped me out of Eindhoven, you must take care of him!”
- Joe’s head snaps just as he’s shoving the letters into some poor guys arms. He freezes, head lifting at the sound of your voice.
- “What the fuck?” He mutters, stepping a little closer. His breathing and heart speeds when he hears your voice again.
- “Sister. Make sure he gets to the infirmary, please… thank you.”
- He’d recognise that voice from anywhere.
- Literally feels like he’s choking when he stomps over, lost for words and breath and grabs hold of your arm.
- With a gasp, you stand there, bloody and bruised and protecting some Kraut soldier.
- You’re about to protest again until you come face to face with Joe, and suddenly your voice gets hitched in your throat, a loud gasp escaping your lips.
- “Joe!” It’s you that jumps into hug him first.
- Joe grips you tightly, “what the hell are you- what the hell are you doin’ here? Baby- y/n, I thought you were dead.”
- He has to pull back and hold your face to take a look at you and make sure it’s actually you.
- You can feel him shaking, and suddenly your attention is just on Joe and Joe only. He’s practically smothering you, not sure where to put his hands as he lets out a shaky breath.
- “Holy fuck I thought I lost you. They said you were gone. I knew you wouldn’t, I knew you wouldn’t leave me.” He gets super emotional so you two have to take a break somewhere real quick.
- By that I mean in the aid station where you’re supposed to be being patched up but Joe does that for the medic.
- “God dammit you are so stupid, you idiot, I thought I lost you.”
- “The German officer saved me Joe, he pulled me outta the rubble.”
- “he what?! Did he touch you, are you ok?”
- “He’s a nice man, Joe. I wouldn’t be here without him. He’s hurt so I got a little lost taking him back to the infirmary.”
- “nice guy? Baby d’ya got a concussion?”
- you scold him a little and soon he’s back to stroking your face and pulling you onto his lap, taking in as much as you as he possibly can.
- “Never leave me baby. Never leave me like that again.”

Warnings : mentions of war, wounds, slight jealousy (barely)
Summary : Three Times Dick Winters Wanted to Confess His Feelings and The One Time He Did
A/N : Hello, the next fic after this will be the winner of the WIP poll. This one was tickling my brain though, so I had to write it! This fic is based on the fictional depiction in the miniseries Band of Brothers, not the real veterans. I hope you enjoy it and as always, pls like and reblog if you’d like to see more <;33
Shortly After You Met 
You were quickly wrapping bandages, stocking the medics’ bags, making sure morphine was ready, and generally cleaning house. Keeping clean conditions was a little more difficult in the position you were all in, but you liked to make sure the medics felt even partially clean and organized. 
“Well look at that..” you hear a voice behind you and you turn slightly, recognizing Dick Winters. You smile at him, eyes lighting up when you register that Doc Roe is standing next to him. 
“Just the men I wanted to see.” You hand a fully stocked aid kit to Doc “At the ready for use.” You lower your voice. “Don’t tell anybody but I gave my favorite company medic a few extra bandages.” Roe nods thoughtfully with a little laugh and takes his aid kit from you. 
Your eyes slide to Winters, smile brightening for him. “Hello Lieutenant Winters.” 
Dick pauses for a moment before answering you, your smile disarming him. Never had he seen you smile so brightly at him. He would have figured you would have reserved such sweet smiles for someone like Doc. 
Doc was looking between the two of you, eyebrows scrunched together a bit. Lieutenant Winters wasn’t a very talkative man, sure, but he seemed dumbstruck by you. 
“Hello, Nurse.” Dick says quietly. “Always a pleasure to see you.” He gives you a small, polite smile. You duck your head slightly, trying to hide the scarlet blush creeping up your cheeks. Dick pretends not to notice, but is secretly very pleased that he’s had this effect on you. 
“Thank you, Lieutenant. Such kind words for such difficult times bring me great comfort.” You fiddle absentmindedly with the spare piece of gauze in your hand, your calloused fingers looking so rough, but your touch being so gentle. 
“Nurse!” You hear someone call. “NURSE!” You head turns quickly and you notice a young man dragging his half conscious friend behind him. You drop the spare gauze in your hands and rush over, immediately pushing yourself under the unconscious young man’s other shoulder. You can see his lower leg is torn up, the blood mingling with his shredded trousers. You guide both men to a cot and as you reach for the makeshift curtain you lock eyes with Dick Winters, who looks as if he wants to say something to you. Before he opens his mouth, you close the curtain, turning to the wounded soldier. 
“I need a surgeon!” You yell, beginning with staunching blood flow. Once another nurse arrives, you pause, wiping your hands quickly and ripping open a sulfa powder packet with your teeth, sprinkling it on the unconscious man’s leg. 
Dick watches you from afar, admiring how you seem so sure of yourself. He can barely tear his eyes away from the scene in front of him. He shakes himself out of his reverie and exits the aid station with Doc Roe. 
2. When He Just Happened To Walk By
You were standing outside the aid station, taking a small breather. You knew you were meant to help people, it had just seemed like a calling, but watching men take their last breaths takes a toll on a person, and you needed to leave the stuffy confines of your post for a moment. 
“Oh. Hello.” You hear, and you look up, surprised to see Lieutenant Winters. “I just happened to be walking by and thought I would come say hello.” What you didn’t know is that he had given himself a papercut on purpose so he could come speak to you directly. Finding that you were already there, he forgot all about his self-inflicted cut and approached you carefully. 
You can’t help but smile at him. Of course, you smiled at many of the men, but something about Winters made you want to smile whenever you saw him. “Hello, Lieutenant Winters.” You say politely. Dick arches an eyebrow and looks down at you. 
“Please, call me Dick.” He says, one corner of his mouth quirking up at you, and you grin at him. His heart feels like it seized a bit, and he realizes that seeing you is something he keeps finding himself seeking out. 
“Okay.” You say sweetly. “Nice to meet you, Dick.” 
Now it’s Dick’s turn to grin at you. “Nice to meet you.” His blue eyes sparkle at you and you turn back to look at the road. 
Dick clears his throat. “You know, I -“ 
You turn to look at him again and he falters. He’s too nervous to tell you just how much he enjoys seeing you.
“Never mind. I seem to have lost my train of thought, Nurse.” He looks down briefly at the finger with the paper cut and you notice, gently taking his hand in yours. Dick’s heart skips a beat and you examine his finger. 
“Just a small paper cut. Do you want a bandage?” You say, looking up at him with what he swears is the sweetest expression he’s ever seen. 
He shakes his head slowly at you. “No, no. Save it for a man who needs it.” You notice that he doesn’t move his hand out of yours right away, and you like it. You would be lying if you said you didn’t have a small crush on the lieutenant, and when it felt like he sought you out just to say hello, you were elated. 
“You’re a noble man,Lieutenant. Braving that paper cut all by yourself.” You tease him, lowering both your hands gently. You bring your hand up and tuck a piece of hair behind your ear, aware of his eyes on you. 
“Well, someone has to do it.” He jokes lightly back. 
The two of you stand outside the aid station, a small smile playing on both your lips. 
3. The Ricochet 
You would be lying if you said you weren’t panicked. There was a rumor running through that Dick Winters had been shot, and you were running around the station, gathering whatever it was you thought might help. The other nurses glanced between themselves, knowing that Winters was important to you, even if you wouldn’t admit it. 
You make sure there’s a cot ready, waiting to see Doc Roe rush in, yelling at the others that a surgeon was needed, that Dick was losing too much blood, that he might not make it. 
When Dick walks in, limping, you stand there, shocked. 
He was standing upright. 
Dick raises his eyes and notices you, limping towards you. “Just the nurse I need to see.” You stare at him, unsure how to react, what to say. If your silence wasn’t embarrassing enough, you could feel tears pricking at your eyes. “Are…are you alright?” You look as if you may faint, and Dick reaches his hand out to cup your elbow gently. 
You blink a few times, looking up at him. Then you look down at his feet, remembering that he had limped over to meet you. “I…oh my, I’m so sorry.” You say, guiding him to a chair. Sitting opposite him, you just shake your head. “I…um. They told me you had been shot. That it might be bad.” 
Dick’s eyebrows raise, now understanding why you seemed to be worried. “Oh, no. No, sweetheart, it’s just a ricochet wound.” 
You pretend not to notice the “sweetheart” that slipped from his lips as he lifted his leg for you to examine. It truly wasn’t as bad as you had been told, and you clean and bandage it quickly. “You need to try and stay off this leg.” 
He shakes his head at you. “I can’t.” 
You smile sadly at him. “I know.” 
He leans forward and smiles softly at you, lifting your hand and bringing it to his lips. “Thank you, nurse.” 
4. The Night George Luz Asked You To Dance
Dick didn’t know why his stomach felt like someone had reached into and grabbed it with an iron fist. 
But Nixon did. As he follows Dick’s gaze he notices you, happily dancing with George Luz. He sees you throw your head back in a laugh and swears he sees Dick’s jaw jump. 
The men and most of the nurses were drinking, dancing, having a general good time before everything crumbled and went haywire. It almost felt normal, but what about war could ever be normal? Dick clears his throat and looks down at his feet briefly, noticing that the song had slowed down considerably, and you were now in Luz’s arms, swaying slightly to the soft music in the background. 
Nixon is still glancing at Dick when he sees his friend cross the room and cut in, taking you in to the same slow dance you had just been dancing with Luz. 
Dick looks down at you. “You look lovely tonight.” 
You smile up at him, blushing slightly. “How many pretty nurses have you said that to tonight?” You see his eyes soften considerably and he chuckles. 
“Only one.” You blush openly now as Dick draws you in, his cheek resting gently against your head as you sway to the music. 
“How’s your leg doing?” You ask quietly, and you hear Winters hum. 
“Sore. I’m just lucky I had such a tender nurse.” 
You pull your head back to look at him, finding him ready to meet your eyes. 
“I have to confess that it’s easy being a nurse to such a kind man.” You say, and Dick smiles at you. 
“I have to confess something as well.” He says, his eyes searching yours. “I think you are the nicest girl I’ve ever met.” He pauses, turning you slightly as the two of you sway to the song. “And I find myself thinking about you more and more.” 
You swallow, your eyes flicking across his face. “Is that so?” 
He nods, watching your face. You feel his arm around your back gently pull you closer again. He’s always gentle with you, like he thinks you might break. 
“I’ve thought about you a lot too. I think you may know that I care about you…given my reaction to your wound.” 
Dick’s heart skips a beat at this confession, and he takes his hand to softly cup under your chin, pulling your eyes to meet him. “When this is over, let me take you dancing properly.” 
“Does that mean you’ll stop dancing with me now when given the chance?” You ask, eyebrows scrunched together in fake anguish. 
Dick laughs, gently lifting your chin again. “May I kiss you?”  
You can’t speak, you just nod. He leans in, his lips touching yours ever so gently. 
It was saccharine, and when he pulls away from you, you can’t help but grin widely at him as he rests his forehead on yours. “What’s that pretty little smile for?” 
You shrug slightly. “Just terribly happy that you think about me as much as I think about you.” 
“I have ever since I first laid eyes on you, sweetheart.” 
You smile to yourself, feeling like you might burst with the butterflies that were fluttering in your stomach. 
From afar, Lewis Nixon stands with a drink in his hand, a small smile on his lips, happy that Dick had finally plucked up the courage to gather you in his arms.

Hey, I'm not sure if you take requests, but if you do, I have an idea:) Could you write something about a young woman who was in the Air Force disguised as a man and her plane was hit by the Germans while under attack, forcing her to jump out, leaving her stranded with her plane down and easy company witnessed the whole thing and tries to look for the pilot?
maybe with some romance or whatever with my mans lieb or doc roe if that’s possible hihi
when worlds collide (joseph liebgott x air force! reader)
Tumblr media
word count: 1000+
warnings: blood & injury, but nothing really graphic
notes: sorry for the wait on this one 😭 i've been busy BUT i promise to be posting more during my break
You didn't remember much after your plane was hit by German flak while passing over some Dutch forest you couldn't recall the name of. What you could remember was everything rapidly blinking and on fire around you, dials going this way and that, your hands flying around the control board and trying desperately to pull up with the yoke as you cursed violently beneath your breath.
Following your fruitless struggle against gravity, you remembered preparing to parachute out of your plane and into the woods beneath you.
You were pretty sure you blacked out for a while after that.
-
The sight of a fighter plane nosediving into the ground and its booming resulting crash interrupted an otherwise uneventful five-man patrol through the woods.
“Jesus Christ! Did you see that?” Babe exclaimed, gawking up at where the plane had been in the sky mere seconds ago.
“Looks like it landed near us,” Pat observed.
Don looked wide-eyed. “It was one of ours. The pilot might need our help if he ejected in time!”
Lip shushed them. “There's AA guns nearby. Someone ought to go back and tell Battalion they’re positioned somewhere to our left near that dike we passed. Christenson, you go.”
As Pat nodded and left the way they came, Lip said, “We can't take too long looking for a pilot we don't know is alive or not." He checked his watch and sighed. "Alright, meet back here at 1700. Stay alert. Don't go too far on your own.”
The squad spread out in search of the hopefully-alive pilot. Joe walked with his rifle at the ready for about 20 minutes before stumbling upon large chunks of debris from the plane. Not far from that was a severed parachute, and then a blood trail.
He followed it until he noticed a pilot sitting on the ground next to some brush with his back turned to him, his clothes torn up enough to where large parts of skin littered with cuts were visible. Joe slowly approached, mindful not to scare him and wind up with a bullet in his head.
“Hey,” he called out. “Hey, buddy.”
The pilot turned around, and Joe noticed that “he” was not a he at all.
Your hand shot to the pistol on your belt, leveling it at him while vainly covering up your top half. You’d been trying to treat your wounds with the first-aid kit strapped to your waist; you'd gotten several steadily bleeding scratches from falling through trees and one or two broken ribs from your hasty landing. You ended up taking off your corset to relieve pressure on your ribcage, leaving you with your ripped up uniform and coveralls.
Regardless of your relief that an American soldier had found you rather than a German one, you kept your hand fixed on your sidearm.
“Woah, lady, put down the gun. I'm not a Kraut.” Lowering his own gun, his narrowed eyes flashed to your chest and widened at the sight of the reddish purple bruises that blemished it. "Goddamn..."
“It’s not what it looks like,” you managed out, though talking (or breathing, for that matter) was difficult.
“I don’t care what it looks like,” he said, the edge to his tone softening as he carefully walked toward you. “You need help.”
You painfully exhaled and set the gun down next to you. You turned around again to focus on treating your injuries, wincing with the movement. “I'm fine.”
“You don't look it.” He crouched down next to you. You flinched away slightly — you'd been disguised as a man for a while now, and this was the first time anyone was seeing you so vulnerable since your enlistment — before letting him inspect your wounds, albeit with you concealing your chest with your arms and what remained of your jacket.
“What’s your name?” he asked, gingerly applying sulfa powder to the gashes on your body.
You slightly hissed at the stinging sensation. “(Y/N), Senior Airman, 4th Fighter Group.”
“Joseph D. Liebgott, Technician 5th Grade, 101st Airborne.”
There was a temporary silence, punctuated only by you sucking in air through your teeth. As he bandaged one of the cuts, he said, “We need to get you some help. I was out here on patrol with my squad; we have a medic back at—”
“What?” You looked at him with a bewildered expression. “No, I don't need any medic. I just need help informing my superiors I got lost going through dense fog and got shot down here.”
“Why not? ‘Cause he'll see you're a girl?”
You gave him a pointed look. “Why else? If you haven't noticed, there aren't very many women serving on the front lines.” You paused and took a deep breath in through your nose. “If you bring your squad over here, someone's gonna report me and get me kicked out of the Air Force…Hell, I don't even know if I trust you to not report me. I just met you, for Chrissakes.”
In truth, you didn’t even know why you were letting him tend to you anyways — you were capable of doing it yourself, your biggest secret was currently exposed, and he was a stranger. But there was something about his change in demeanor and a sudden tenderness in his voice once he saw your injuries that made you want to trust him.
“Your secret’s safe, (Y/N),” he said firmly, a set expression on his face. “I got no reason to rat you out; I just met you too.”
You scanned his face for any signs of deceit, sighed when you found none, and nodded. “I’m still not letting your medic take a look at me.”
“Fine, but that’s not gonna stop me from helping you. I’ll be quick; the guys are gonna be expecting me back soon. We’ll go talk to them together.”
He resumed his aid, and after a few minutes, you could tell that he had started getting curious; he didn't seem like a man who knew how to shut up.
“How’d you disguise yourself as a man this long?”
With a shaky inhale, you closed your eyes as his hands brushed over your rib cage. Involuntarily, a small smile made its way onto your face as the countless predicaments you’d found yourself in flooded your memory. “It’s a long story.”
Liebgott cracked a crooked smile. “I can make some time.”
Laughing despite the pain that flared in your rib cage from the action, you couldn't help but feel that this chanced occasion wouldn't be the last time you would speak to Liebgott. And for some reason foreign to you at that moment, you hoped that your intuition was correct.

Hi, Dove!
I really love all your one-shots and headcanons! I haven’t read your OC work, but when I get the time, I’m super excited to start it.
Can I request a one-shot with Roe treating a soldier who he finds out is actually a girl disguised as a man, and her making him swear not to tell anyone? (Can be platonic or romantic). Possibly some little bits of conversation in French if it’s not too difficult? I won’t judge if you use Google translate😂French is hard.
No pressure, of course
Have a great day!
Where There is Injury
Tumblr media
Eugene Roe x reader
A/N: (This is written for the fictional depiction from the show - no disrespect to the real veterans!) Hello friend! Thanks so much for sending in another request 🤗 I'm so glad you've enjoyed my other writing, so I hope you'll like this as well! I haven't spoken French in years, so this is most likely riddled with mistakes, but I tried haha. You have a great day as well! 💕 Warnings, PLEASE READ: this fic contains misgendering until the reader's secret is revealed, please do not read if that may be triggering for you! Also contains mentions of war, injury, and blood
“Medic!”
For what feels like the thousandth time, the word is screamed out into the woods, echoing off the charred stubs of trees as they attempt to reach the man who holds that job. One word, two syllables, yet so much responsibility tied to the title. So much pain on both the part of the person screaming and the person being screamed for.
It should be second nature by this point, with how often since arriving in Bastogne people have been wounded, been calling for help. There’s hardly ever a time when Eugene isn’t on the move, sprinting between foxholes and doing his best to dodge German artillery fire as he heads for whoever needs him – and all with little to no supplies.
Yet somehow, he finds that he has to urge and instruct himself on each next step. Vous vous levez, Eugene. Tu cours maintenant, Eugene. Tu aides les gens, Eugene.
And there he goes, boots crunching the snow underfoot as he runs toward the voice that calls for him. Pieces of the prayer that his mémère taught him as a child run through the back of his mind as he goes.
Seigneur, faites de moi un instrument de votre paix.
It’s Skinny Sisk. A piece of shrapnel has pierced his leg. Frank Perconte is trying to keep him still while he calls for a medic. Relief briefly flashes across his face when he sees Eugene appear.
“Save the morphine, Doc!” Sisk insists through gritted teeth. “I can make it.”
“You sure?”
Sisk hesitates. Then he nods, resolving himself to his fate as Eugene and Perconte raise him from the foxhole, adjusting their grip on him as they rush him towards the Jeep that’s arriving.
Là où il y a de la haine, que je mette l'amour.
Sisk screams in pain as Eugene and Perconte stumble forward. His wounded leg hits the ground first, even though they scramble to pick him up as quickly as they can.
“Aw, Jesus, Skinny, you got blood all over my trousers!” Perconte scolds.
“Gee, I’m real sorry, Frank!” Sisk hisses.
Là où il y a l'offense, que je mette le pardon.
They load Sisk onto the Jeep. Eugene starts to climb in after him. He hasn’t seen the town yet, but he needs whatever supplies they may be willing to spare, and he should make sure that Sisk gets there safely.
“Sorry,” the driver says, pressing a hand to Eugene’s chest to stop him from climbing in the vehicle.
Là où il y a la discorde, que je mette l'union.
He doesn’t argue. The company is desperate for supplies, but he’ll have to find some other way to get what they need. Instead he nods to the driver, stuffs his hands into his pockets to warm them, and starts back to his foxhole.
Là où il y a l'erreur, que je mette –
Gene stops in his tracks. In the snow at his feet there are spatters of blood staining the fresh white crystals that fell the night before. With the shellings that have happened this morning, it wouldn’t be so unusual, except that as far as he knows, no one out this way has been hit this morning. Even more curious is that when he stops walking, silencing the crunching of snow under his boots, he can hear fast breathing and the occasional groan coming from nearby.
His medic brain springs into action at once. Following the blood in the snow, Gene arrives at a foxhole that holds one person. The man sitting inside the earth is so preoccupied with trying to mop up the blood coming from his arm with a threadbare blanket that he doesn’t even notice Gene’s arrival until he drops down into the foxhole with him.
It’s (Y/L/N), one of the few Toccoa men that are left. His (Y/E/C) eyes go wide when Gene lands next to him, and he scrambles backwards, trying to get away, despite the fact that there’s nowhere for him to go.
“(Y/L/N), what happened?” Gene asks. He extends a hand. “Let me see.”
“No!” (Y/L/N) exclaims, trying in vain once again to push himself out of Gene’s reach. The word is harsh and said in a tone that Gene has never heard (Y/L/N) use before, but he ascribes all of that to the pain. (Y/L/N) must catch it too, though, because he clears his throat and says more calmly, “No, Doc, it’s nothing.”
Blood is seeping into the blanket he’s pressing to his arm. His eyes are wide and frantic. Gene supposes that he would most likely have a similar reaction if he found himself injured in this place. As much as he can empathize with (Y/L/N)’s reaction, he also needs to stand firm and help his fellow paratrooper.
“(Y/L/N), you gotta let me see,” Gene insists. He manages to remove the blanket from where it’s pressed against (Y/L/N)’s arm. Through the dark blood that stains the fabric of his sleeve, Gene can barely make out a horizontal gash along the other man’s arm. “I know it’s cold, but we need to take off your jacket so I can see your arm. Spina might – “
“No!” (Y/L/N)’s voice is low and harsh this time as he interrupts. “I don’t need Spina. I don’t need anything. It’s not that bad.”
“(Y/L/N), you’ve got blood everywhere! I can’t tell how bad it is unless you let me help you!”
“And then I’ll get sent to some aid station, and then they’ll send me home, or to jail, or worse.”
 Most of the men are willing to admit that they don’t like being sent to the aid station. (Y/L/N)’s reluctance to be sent there isn’t unusual. What is unusual are the other possibilities listed: jail or worse. Why would a wounded soldier be sent to jail? And what could be worse?
Eugene’s confusion must show on his face, because (Y/L/N) blinks, mouth falling shut, as if surprised by his own words. Whatever is happening here, it’s clearly much more than just a wounded arm.
“What do you mean by that?” Eugene ventures.
(Y/L/N) winces then, drawing a shaky breath, grip tightening on his arm. When he looks back up at Eugene, something has changed. His gaze softens, as does his voice, and his eyes are a little watery, though Eugene politely pretends not to notice the last part.
“I don’t want to come off the line,” (Y/L/N) says.
“That depends on how serious that is,” Eugene asserts, nodding to the wounded arm. “You gotta let me help you.”
They’re losing what might be precious time, yet (Y/L/N) still hesitates. Finally, he draws a deep breath and nods.
“Alright. Take off your jacket so that I can see how bad it is.”
Slowly, (Y/L/N) removes his jacket, wincing as he moves his injured arm. Jumping into action, Eugene helps him shrug out of it, not willing to lose more time or more blood because of a disagreement. They’ve just managed to remove the coat when Eugene feels (Y/L/N)’s gaze on him, heavy and challenging. What? he starts to ask when finally, he sees the reason for (Y/L/N) not wanting to remove his coat.
Or should he say, her coat.
“Oh.” He sits back on his heels, his brain rushing to connect all the information that’s just come at him in these past few minutes. (Y/L/N)’s insistence that Roe leave her alone, her assertion that something bad could happen to her, the bandages around her chest . . .
Il n'y a pas de temps pour ça, he reminds himself, once again instructing himself on what to do next. Réparer ce bras. Posez vos questions plus tard.
Luckily for the both of them, the wounds on (Y/L/N)’s arm aren’t that serious – a few gashes from shrapnel, but nothing that needs stitching up. For her sake, Eugene tries to keep the mood light when he finishes bandaging her up. “I’ll make sure you get a Purple Heart for it.”
Shrugging back into her coat, (Y/L/N) offers him a tight-lipped smile. Several times she draws a breath as if to speak, only to stop herself, allowing the foxhole to remain in its vacuum of silence.
“I won’t tell anyone, if that’s what you’re worried about,” Eugene finally assures her. This must have been what she was worried about, because relief washes over her face, although its quickly replaced with a suspicious brow raise.
“Why not?”
“Well, why would I?” Really, why would he? It’s none of his business. Not really. Besides, if (Y/L/N) has made it all the way from Toccoa to Bastogne with this secret, then she’s pretty good at keeping it. It’s been years, after all, and Eugene never would have suspected. And, he reasons, to give up her life to disguise herself as a man and become a paratrooper – well, that’s definitely taken some guts, whatever her reasons. Reasons that he doesn’t know, but that he’s starting to wonder about.
Ce ne sont pas mes affaires, Eugene reminds himself. Still, though . . .
“Well, thank you,” (Y/L/N) says with a curt nod. Then she lets out a deep sigh, burying her head in her hands. When she emerges again, she has an air of resolve about her. “Would you . . . As long as you’re not going to tell anyone, that is, could you – could you help me keep this secret safe?” She won’t quite meet his gaze when she confesses, “It can get a little lonely.”
Whatever Eugene was expecting her to say, it wasn’t that. But he can understand what she’s talking about, the loneliness of this place. Especially as a medic. “Of course.”
A small smile tugs at the corners of her mouth. Still a little bloody, she extends a hand to him. “(Y/N),” she says. “Nice to properly meet you.”
He shakes her hand in kind; she’s got a very confident handshake. “You as well.”
It really is, he must admit. Strange, how in just a few chance moments, some of the cold loneliness of Bastogne has begun to melt away.

Hold Me Closer
eugene roe x babe heffron
Tumblr media
It had been only a few hours since gene had patched heffron up, they where still at the line, planning to move forward into a small town  in attempts to gain more territory. Bastogne was in ruins, the bodies left in the ruins of the town where far to dangerous to get out right now, but Bastogne was still used as a aid station it was the best they could do till another supply drop would come , hopefully in the near future. 
It had been a relatively quiet day at least for the front, some firing here and there but nothing easy company hadn't seen before
"So where'd you get this auh?" Heffron spoke up finally , looking  at the stripped blue fabric of his make shift bandage "Kraut drop it or sumn'thin?",
"No" gene answered tiredly "found it in bastogne— when we took Gordon I think" he said,  his eyes on his hands, beat up and stained with dried blood 
"I heard you tellin'  winters about bastogne, is it really that bad there?" Heffron question,  shifting a bit to but his hands in his pockets
"Its in ruins ," he answered honestly " they bombed the whole thing" he stared off at his hands , picking at the blood under his finger nails as he reimagined the scene of it all, fires and the cracking sound of the wood houses giving "nothin' left but they're still taking wounded men there"
"Gave us a merry Christmas " babe retorted sarcastically, Renée is all that Eugene thought about , for chrismas they'd taken her away, his chrismas gift was all that was left of her. A scarf. "Right" Eugene said in reply so much for a christmas 
" 'ey Gene?"
"Hm?" He hummed glancing red at the redhead
"Merry christmas " babe smiled softly
" merry chrismas heffron" 
Babe laughed a little laying back in the fox hole "are you ever gonna stop with the 'heffron' shit?" He questioned
"Probably not" he said truthfully, he didn't fancy calling people by their nick names, it just made things alot easier at least  in his mind. just as babe opened his mouth to talk the two heard a shot then strangely enough a splash the two looked at eachother confusedlt; gene straightened up  and babe grabbed his gun, crouching and looking over at the line, nothing ?
"Medic !" A familiar voice called out
The two waited a second 
"Doc!" The same voice called out
"Was that a sniper?" Babe said confusedly looking at Eugene who stood up from his crouching position  "I don't know"
"Go! Com'on" heffron said quickly peeking over the foxhole at the line , he figured it was just a sniper or somthing  he saw no other shots or any sort of flashing and Gene complied getting out of the hole and running to where the same voice called him
A he was close to the line he knew that, there was a short drop down a small hill he hadn't seen and he practically rolled down it
"Doc !? You okay?!" A voice yelled out, different than the one before , joe toye he figured out  "im fine!" Gene continued and stood up , making his way towards toye again as he saw another figure and half of another one , he would've paused if it wasn't for the adrenaline rushing through his body from the fall and the sniper "What's going on—" the ground shook and the sky flashed "wouldya get me out!" Luz , who was the half body gene had seen yelled "yer gonna get me shot!"  The man shivered, flopping like a fish to try and wiggle himself out if the water, it was a almost humorous to watch
due to the shock to his muscles and the weight of his gear it was a useless effort Gene looked confusedly, he was half submerged in a now ,leibgott,  who had been the 3rd figure gene had saw was trying to left him out  
The 3 managed to get him out without getting  shot, he was drenched he had been fully submerged for only a few seconds but he'd been in the water for a good minute, enough time partnered with the cold it was good enough to get him a bad case of hypothermia "toye go get a jeep! And some blankets, towels, anything we need to get him dry !" Toye nodded and ran off ahead of the two,  leibgott and gene carried Luz who had started shivering violently
Once they got back up to the company they set Luz down and started getting all of his gear and top layers of clothes off "ain't that gonna make him more cold?!" Liebgott questioned rather loudly "he's gon' freeze to death if we dont!" 
Toye came back running with a blanket , nearly tripping over someone's fox hole and a few  sticks and the ground that where to be used as camouflage  for the foxholes "dry him off quickly!" Gene ordered and the 3 started to rub him off rather aggressively with the cover,  gene knew they couldn't have a fire for them nor would he be able to start of quick enough with wet hands, he stood up, ripping the medic arm band off of his jacket that was held on with some strategic sewing and mostly safety pins and stuffed the syrettes and morphine into his back before also taking that off, he then unzipped his jacket and knelt back down with the help of leibgott he got it onto Luz "awh– d-oc youre-" where the only words Luz could get out
The jeep pulled up with in seeing distance and the 3 got up , picking Luz back up again "don't you worry about me" gene insisted, gene let go of Luz and grabbed his sopping wet equipment, placing them in the passenger seat  foot rests of the jeep "toye, go with him make sure they get him  inside of somewhere,  broken building or anything that'll get him protected from the wind, ya here?" Toye nodded and hopped into the passenger seat at as jeep sped away.
At first the feeling of cold hadn't him, he'd noticed the strange looks he'd gotten from most of 2nd battalion he'd saw as he ran around , bandaging wounds, mostly accidental ones from being scared by the sudden shoots but after the adrenaline had finally wore off it came at him hard, gene really wasn't made t  handle the cold all that much, Louisiana was a much more hotter climent then western Europe . he made is rounds, checking up on everyone else incase he'd missed anything or to hear if they needed anything as usual , buck had taken a notice as gene stopped at his foxhole 
"Where your jacket?" Buck started, looking up at him as he ate a makeshift snowcone with the powered lemonade that was common amongst the soliders 
"With George Luz sir" gene managed, crouched next to the foxhole, holding himself to keep some warmth
"Luz?" buck questioned,  the confusion plastered is normally plain expression, dancing around in his ice blue eyes "Why does Luz have it?"
"Needed it more then me, " gene continued "Germans lured toye 'n him  with some supplies — they ain't notice it was over some frozin' over lake" he shifted slightly, he knew he needed to stay moving in order to lessen the feeling of cold "liebgott tried to get them outta there but snipe cracked the ice, Luz fell right in" 
Buck sighed softly "right" the blonde nodded, thinking for a moment  " check with Nixon and winters they're probably hanging about , see if they can do anything for you"
Gene simply nodded and stood up, continuing his arounds
He hasn't managed to spot nixon or winters, they always went around in a pair so he doubted he'd find just one of them sitting around, he got back to his foxhole and jumped in, curling up in it as he shivered helplessly. the cold stung his arms  and there was nothing he could do about it 
"Woah there" he heard the familiar Philadelphian accent of Edward "correct me if I'm wrong doc but I 'on think stripping is gonna keep you all that warm" 
"Real Perceptive heffron" he spoke through his shivering
"What happened?" Heffron hopped into the hole, putting his gun down along with his helmet
"Luz fell into a lake, gave it to him" gene summarized to save from explaining for the 3rd time that day
"Here," heffron took off his scarf and crawled on his knees closer to the medic, wrapping the scarf around his neck and part of his face "my grandma used to wrap me up like his" heffron tucked the end of the scarf back into itself so it wouldn't come loose and unwrapped 
"Never needed to be wrapped like this before" 
"Your from the south right?" 
Gene nodded "Louisiana, bayou chou" 
"Ever fought a croc? Yall got those down there yeah?"
"Not dumb enough to so no— I used to see'em alot when I was younger, my grandfather wrestled one right infront of me once" 
"I saw one in the zoo once" there wasn't any crazy wild animals in Philadelphia, it was a major city after all, nothing crazy like the costal states like Louisiana "had–" he laughed a little " had a pigeon trynna steal my cheese steak one time, never fought somthing harder in my life" 
Gene smiled a bit at the sheer image Of Edward trying to fight a pigeon off 
Heffron stood up half way peering over edge of the foxhole "aye' garnere?"
"Aeh?" The man hummed, peaking up from his hole
"Ya Got a blanket? Docs cold" 
There was A brief pause as Bill presumably looked around "yeah" Bill said , balling up the blanket and throwing it over to heffron"thanks" the other said as he caught the blanket
He looked down at gene, he looked pitiful ,his nose and cheeks where a rosy pink color while the rest of him had palen more then usual, his teeth chattering so hard he could hear it, heffron knelt back down again and wrapped him in the blanket "how about we get you into town doc?" Heffron offered, putting his hands on genes shoulders above the blankets and rubbing the to make some sort of heat with the friction 
"I have to stay on the line, case of anymore of those bombs " the southerner sighed softly  , holding the blanket shut with his hands 
"Right" heffron bit his lip , there wasn't many ways to stay warm in the front lines, especially without all of the promised snow gear that hadn't gotten to them yet,  much less without at least a jacket but just then a idea popped in his head
He gently took oneside of the blanket and sat next to gene, closing the blanket  with the hand and wrapping his other around the medic "whatdya' doing?" Gene asked quietly "keeping you warm— somone aughta do it " the ginger smiled proudly , gently rubbing Eugene side with his ungloved hand , Eugene simply accepted his fate, there wasn't much else he could do if he wanted to avoid frost bite, gene tiredly leaned against heffron , resting his head on his shoulder
The two stayed like that for a while, Essentially cuddled up as the sun started to lower more, there hadn't been any attacks since Luzs , gene had figured this meant the the Germans had turnt in for the holiday, the chrismas joy had carried throughout the line, the sounds of singing and laughing was heard throughout the camp, much to the dismay of those trying to keep the group of loudmouthed men quiet, the singing had lowered but hadn't came to a complete stop, the sheer chrismas cheer seemed to have made the Lieutenants and commanders let it slide just this once, for the morale of the soldiers 
Edward and Eugene had been half asleep in their foxhole, babes idea of warming him up had worked somewhat, it had managed to warm him up to enough to stop the teeth chattering, it wasnt to the same effect as having a jacket on but it was relieving enough to keep him from hypothermia 
"Thanks babe" gene finally spoke 
The words made the ginger grin ear to ear 
"Course' genie" 
"Genie, huh"  Eugene closed his eyes
"Could be eugina or sumn' if you prefer" babe joked, gently stroking genes side
"No, I like that"

Hello Hon'! New fan here! I'm loving all your Band of Brothers works 💗 😻 I was wondering if I could, please, request for some headcanoons of Eugene Roe X German nurse? (Like she being captured by the American soldiers or something like that) There are so few works about this sweet medic and I love how you write. ✨😊 (Feel free to decline the ask if you aren't comfortable with it, no worries ^^ )
Sorry this took so long. This feels a bit rushed i apologize. Thank you all for being patient. I do really appreciate it. <3
Masterlist
Word count: 1,130
You were the sole medic at a med station. It was small, and you worked with limited resources, but you made do with what you had.
It was cold and wet however, you had a roof over your head, unlike the cold, unbearable foxholes of Bastogne.
It was a quiet day. A thing here, a thing there. Check up on your comrades. Finally, getting to the small things like cuts and bruises that you simply didn't have time for.
It was the dead of night. You had left for no more than fifteen minutes. You were expecting a shipment of morphine, penicillin, sulfa, and bandages. It was quiet, peaceful almost. So, you figured it was a good time to get things in order for tomorrow.
You made your way back with the crate, setting it down. You were taking everything out, humming a tune. Not too far from where you were, you heard the sound of glass shattering. And not even thirty seconds after the sound of a grenade.
Before you even realized what you were doing, you were running to the commotion.
When you got there, there was yelling, running, and shots being fired. The next thing you knew, there was a hand on your shoulder.
You were dragged and pushed into a plastic inflatable boat and taken across the river. You saw on another boat with a hurt American soldier. He looked to have half his face burned.
You were dragged along with the other prisoners off down into some basement like room.
You were confused, trying to make sense of the situation. The hurt American was thrashing and had to be held down. You wanted to help, but you knew where you stood.
Someone went to fetch a medic. Guns were being pointed at your face. The boy was screaming that he didn't want to die. God, all you did was want to help. It's why you joined in the first place, to be a medic, to help.
Soon you saw the medic come in. Everyone became silent. Watching as the doc did his work, He seemed gentle, the medic. The boy seemed to trust him.
They went to move him, probably to get better medical attention. However, something went off right outside the doorway; they set him back down on the floor.
He died; Jackson seemed to be his name. You could tell his wounds were fatal and that he wasn't going to make it. This didn't make it any easier.
You didn't even know him. He was a stranger. Yet, you felt this lump in your throat. It wasn't fair. He looked so young. He should have died of old age with the love of his life. Not in some dirty basement.
The way everyone was so attentive and caring towards this one man, how silent the crowd got after his passing.
The medic took of his helmet. He looked up, and his eyes met yours. You saw that he recognized your medic uniform.
His eyes were soft. The eyes only someone like him would have. Someone whose job was to help and heal people.
That night, after you were questioned, you sat outside against a building. You asked for the medic's name. Eugene roe, it was a pretty name, it suited his face, those eyes.
”You wanna smoke” You looked up to see Eugene. A hand out with a cigarette.
”Not my thing, thank you though” you politely declined. He put it back in the carton and put out the one he was smoking on the brick of the house behind you and sat next to you.
”I'm sorry you had to see that,” he said, looking at you. He was picking at his fingernails. “It's not the first time I've watched someone die” you responded.
You turned your head towards him. You saw the weight of his job on his face. He was tragic and beautiful.
”You gotta name?” He asked “y/n”
He repeated your name as if he was testing how it rolled off the tongue. He smiled.
“You don't hate me”
“I'm sorry?” He looked at you with a puzzled expression.
“Everyone here looks at me with the same disgust on their face, but you don't”
He took a second to think. “You don't seem like an enemy to me. You, looked at Jackson the same way you would look at anyone else who was dying”
Now it was your turn to smile. You didn't have friends in your unit, they trusted you sure, but no one took the time to get to know you, be your friend.
"You wanna come inside?” Roe asked as he picked himself up.
You nodded and took his hand to get help up to your feet. Eugene took you to a house a few blocks down where he was staying. There were a few bunks. You took the top. He was below you.
You would be lying if you said that that night wasn't one of the most restful nights you've had in months.
The following day, you were helping Roe with his rounds, checking up on his friends. Not just physically but making sure, especially after the previous night, that they were okay. It warmed your heart, to see how close-knit everyone was.
During this time, you two talked about everything and nothing all at once. His life back in Louisiana. His siblings, his hobbies, and why he became a medic. He asked about you, too. He seemed genuinely interested in what you had to say. It was a welcomed change of pace. God, if your crush couldn't get any bigger.
You could tell the others didn't trust you; a few gave you an especially dirty look. You couldn't blame them; you were the people they were paid to kill.
One redhead, tall, kept eyeing you and Eugene. His expression wasn't disdain, but it wasn't glee either. It was more of a curious look.
You were checking out one of the few Americans who would let you near them with a small head injury when you saw said redhead ask Roe to talk.
You continued with what you were doing trying not to get your thoughts the best of you.
Gene came back with a smirk on his face that you could swear met his eyes at one point. You finished up what you were doing and packed up your stuff as Roe approached you.
Standing up you looked at Roe with a quizzical look apon your face. “What's that smile all about?”
“Winters, he Uh asked if you wanted to stick around, be an official easy company medic”
You smiled a smile that hadn't been on your face for a while. “It would be my honor”

Should've Been Born Later, Nix - Chapter 3: The Twins
Tumblr media
Easy Company x Fem!OCs
Chap. Synopsis: What will happen when Easy Company finally starts getting settled in 2023?
Words: 3,440
Find the fic's navigation page here !!
Have a question/want to be on the taglist? Let me know !!
Author's Note: (Link to picrew in collage) Hey everyone!! I just wanted to say that part of this chapter mentions irl Easy Company and I wanted to emphasize that this work means absolutely NO disrespect to the real veterans - this work of fiction is based solely on the characters in the TV Series 💖
“Well, how do y’all like 2023 so far?” Zay asked over her shoulder, the three arriving at a pair of elevators.
“It’s certainly… something,” Joe replied hesitantly, causing Zay to let out a quiet giggle. The trio made their way back to the emergency room, Zay leading them back to the beds. The nurse stopped at another desk similar to the one Liebgott and Speirs saw before, asking which bed Malarkey was in. After the short conversation, Zay led Liebgott and Speirs through the maze of hospital beds and patients before finally arriving at the rest of Easy Company. They saw Malarkey laying in his bed, the top half of the bed raised so the soldier was sitting up. The rest of the boys were spread around his bed, some in chairs, others standing and leaning against the wall. Zay could barely contain her shock and excitement - ten people from the show that she has seen way too many times, honestly she could probably quote each episode word for word, were right before her. Surveying the men, Zay smiled and put her hands on her hips.
“So this is Easy Company,” she mused before all of the boys who were sitting compulsively shot to their feet, quickly reminding Zay of the strict etiquette rules of their time. She let out a laugh before she said, “Oh sit please! No need to stand on ceremony!” What Zay did not know was that the men were utterly enamoured - they did not know what to make of the nurse. She was unlike anyone any of them had ever met; she was bright, bubbly, outgoing, but exuded an air of openness and authenticity, something that made the boys feel safe and at home, even in such an alien place. One by one, the boys who were sitting slowly sat back down.
Suddenly snapping back into his leadership role, Dick stepped forward and outstretched his hand. “Ma’am, I’m Richard Winters, thank you for meeting with us,” he said politely, trying desperately to hide his nerves. Dick felt something he had never felt before - simultaneously, he felt safe and comfortable, but incredibly nervous, as if he was going to say something wrong. Zay smiled and shook Dick’s hand with a gentle but decisive grip - he could have sworn there was a spark.
“Azalea Bennett! You can call me Zay though,” she introduced herself to the captain. “And I think I know everyone here…” Zay took a survey around the small area sectioned off by rolling curtain dividers. “Looks like we have Lewis Nixon, George Luz, Bill Guarnere, Joe Toye, Bull Randleman, Doc Roe, an injured Don Malarkey,” she pointed to each man as she named him before turning to look beside her. “Joe Liebgott, Ron Speirs,” Zay finally turned to the quiet leader before her, “and captain Dick Winters.” There were mixed reactions from the boys. Most of the company were impressed and amused by the nurse’s memory, while Guarnere and Toye kept their guard up.
“How the fuck do you know our names?” Guarnere asked defensively.
“Don’t swear around the lady Gonorrhea!” Toye scolded as he smacked the man’s arm.
Zay let out another laugh before Guarnere could retaliate at his friend. “Okay, first, I don’t give a fuck if you swear around me,” Zay commented. The twenty eyebrows in the room shot to the ceiling when they heard the lady swear so casually - maybe they might like 2023. “And to answer your question… I’m not really sure how to tell y’all this,” she buried her hands in her shirt pockets, looking at the ground. “So… um…” Zay tried to find her words, the eight soldiers waiting anxiously. “There’s this TV show, called Band of Brothers, that follows the soldiers of Easy Company and all of their missions and challenges as they fight the Germans in Europe.” Zay meekly looked up to survey the boys, trying to gauge their reactions. Some looked at her with their jaws on the floor, unable to believe her words. Others were staring into space, attempting to process the revelation. Speirs and Liebgott were surveying the reactions with Zay, while Malarkey spoke up.
“So, here, we’re all just characters in a TV show?” There was a certain quality to Don’s voice - it almost sounded like disappointment. Back home, or at least in Europe, they were fighting the war to end all wars. Here, they were just some characters on television.
“Well, not exactly,” Zay explained, “your characters are all based on real people that really fought in Europe, y’all are portraying them in the show, telling their stories.”
“So if we looked for them, we could find people with our names?” George asked from beside the hospital bed.
“Well… you’d have to look in cemeteries,” Zay replied solemnly, “the war was eighty years ago, I don’t think anyone from Easy Company is still alive.” Heads nodded in understanding to Zay’s statement. “Do y’all know how you got here? Or how to get back?” Zay asked the men, scanning their faces with her ultramarine eyes. Her eyes may have been framed by her glasses, but they never obscured the authenticity that shone from her expressions.
“Hate to say it, but no, we have no idea how any of this happened,” Nixon spoke up from his spot leaning on the wall.
“So what exactly happened?” Zay replied, stepping a bit closer to the group. The men looked around at each other… who was going to tell her what happened? Would she believe them? Would this be the breaking point?
Eugene spoke up after a beat of silence, “Well, we were in Bastogne, and we started taking hits, so of course I dove into a foxhole. Except, I never hit the bottom…” the medic looked down at his hands, as if this was painful to remember. “It was probably only a few seconds, but honestly, it felt like I was falling for ages, and everything was pitch black,” he mumbled the last part under his breath, “it was terrifying.” Roe took a deep breath and shook his head, shaking away the painful memories. “Next thing I knew, I was landing on the concrete, and all these boys were falling from the sky.” Roe pointed around the room with a small smile on his face, earning a sparse chuckle from the room.
“I saw him fall in and not come out, so I jumped in to try and see what happened, then the same thing happened to me,” Liebgott spoke up from behind Zay. “Then that one landed on top of me,” he pointed at Bull with a smirk. “Don’t know how I didn’t bite it.” The group laughed as Bull shot Joe a wink.
“You’re welcome,” Randleman replied with a laugh.
“Toye and I went in after Bull,” Guarnere chimed in, “then I think Lieutenant Speirs tumbled in after us.” He looked over to Ron, who has been leaning on the wall next to Nixon.
“Yeah, a blast threw me backwards into the foxhole,” the officer explained.
“When I saw him go in I wanted to make sure he was okay, so of course I followed,” Nixon added.
“Of course I couldn’t let him go alone,” Winters interjected with a laugh, giving heart eyes to his best friend.
“When I saw the captain go in, the bombardments finally stopped, so Luz and I ran over to make sure he was okay, but of course that didn’t go as planned,” Malarkey shot a playful glare to Luz, who was sitting on the floor near the foot of his bed.
“I said I was sorry!” Luz held up his hands in surrender. The group let out another laugh - everyone could tell that they were starting to relax in the unfamiliar environment.
“You wouldn’t happen to know how we could get back to our own… time, do you?” Dick asked the nurse, looking at her with shyer eyes than he had intended.
“I have no idea, but I’d be happy to help you figure it out!” she said with a smile, the brightest smile any of the men had seen. “Do y’all have a place to stay?”
“Can’t say that we do,” Winters answered, glancing back at Nixon - the officer nodded his head, affirming Winters’ statement.
“If y’all want, you’re more than welcome to stay with me and my sister,” Zay offered bashfully, her eyes going to the floor. “My sister watches the show, so she’d know you guys too.” Everyone looked to captain Winters to see what his decision was. No one would admit it, but each of the men were hoping that their CO would agree to stay with the blue-haired girl.
Dick took a moment to think it over before he replied, ���I’m not really sure if we have any other option.” He smiled and nodded his head at Zay, a silent acceptance of her offer for a roof over their heads and a safe place to sleep.
“Great! My sister’s actually on her way, I’ll talk to the doctor and see if we can get Malarkey discharged,” Zay replied happily, a bounce appearing in her step as she walked off to the desk in the middle of the room.
“I think I might like 2023,” Luz spoke up with a smirk.
“Hey! I saw her first!” Liebgott spoke up indignantly, sending a glare to Luz.
“Men, she is our host here and you will treat her with respect,” Winters scolded his men in a firm tone. Nixon and Speirs could not help but let out a scoff at Dick’s words, both of the officers quickly going to cover their mouths. “What?” Winters prodded, becoming slightly defensive at their antics.
“Dick, we all saw how you looked at her earlier,” Nixon responded in earnest. Before the captain could reply, their modern-times hostess returned to the group.
“Y’all are all set to go! My shift ends in a few minutes, so as soon as my sister gets here we’ll head out,” she explained happily, bubbly energy exuding from her.
“Thank you for helping us,” Eugene spoke up, a humble and thankful expression on his face, “I know you kind of know us, so to speak, but still, to take ten strangers into your home is one of the biggest acts of kindness I’ve seen.” Zay blushed a bright red and turned her gaze to the floor, unable to hide the smile spreading across her face.
“It’s nothing, really,” she replied shyly, “but that means a lot to hear from you.” Zay met Roe’s gaze for a moment before going back to the floor, her blush nearly matching her hair in regards to the saturation of the color. Before anyone could chastise Roe for his (what Roe would call unintentional) flirtations, everyone heard an odd sound come from Zay’s pocket. Only Zay knew that the sound was her cell phone’s ringtone, Somebody to Love by Queen, but all Easy Company heard was an unfamiliar song and the voice of an angel. The nurse pulled her phone out of her pocket and held it up to her ear. “Hey! Are you here?... Great! I’ll meet you by my car! See you in a sec!” Zay tapped the lit-up rectangle before putting it back in her pocket. “My sister Chrys just got here! Stay here, I’ll get my things and then we can head out.” She turned on her heel, her signature bounce appearing in her step. Liebgott waited for the nurse to be out of earshot before turning to the medic seated next to Malarkey.
“TaKiNg StRaNgErS iNtO yOuR hOmE-” Before Liebgott could finish his mockery of Roe, the medic spoke up to defend himself.
“Hey! I’m just trying to be nice!” Eugene rebutted, voice laced with his trademark Cajun accent. Liebgott, Luz, and Roe began to bicker over flirting with Zay, Guarnere and Toye leaning back and watching the show with amusement. Bull looked on at the three arguing as well, waiting to see how things would turn out. Before things got too out of hand, Zay returned, a multicolored backpack slung across her shoulder.
“Alright! Malarkey is free to go! Ready boys?” She asked, clearly trying to contain her excitement. All ten boys felt their hearts warm at the sight. Roe helped Malarkey out of the bed, the redhead starting to stand on his own. Zay led the men to the elevator, the eleven of them packing in like sardines. Zay wound up squished between the corner, Winters, and Luz. She pushed a button on the side with the label “Garage” beside it before she smiled shyly at the men, backing up against the wall as much as she could. Luz and Winters tried to give the girl as much space as they could, but of course, said space was quite limited. While Winters kept his gaze firmly affixed on his feet, as if he would lose them if he looked away, George snuck a glance at Zay, returning her shy smile as he noticed the blush on her cheeks. As soon as her eyes met his, Zay immediately shifted her gaze to the floor, now staring at her shoes just as intently as Winters. Luz had to bite his lip to keep his smile from growing wider. All too quickly the elevator dinged and the doors opened to reveal the gray concrete of the hospital's parking garage. The boys filed out quickly, waiting for Zay to lead them to her car.
To anyone else, the group would look like little lost ducklings following their colorful mother duck. A mixture of emotions swam around the group - some were relieved that they found someone who not only knew this time period, but also knew them and liked them. Others were still coming to terms that something as fantastical as time travel happened to the company. How were they going to explain this to the rest of Easy? Or to Colonel Sink? Others in the group continued to be wary of Zay, especially Speirs and Guarnere. While they were greateful for the help, how did they know they could trust her? As for Zay, a mixture of emotions coursed through her body - excitement that she was about to spend time with the people who lived in her head rent-free, joy that she could help people who were need, and a hint of doubt that this was all actually happening… if she told anyone about this, would they believe her?
Zay led the group before everyone noticed the lights illuminate on a yellow car with a soft roof. The car had an emblem with a running horse on the back of it, something that only Zay recognized as a Ford Mustang. As if on cue, a bronze, sleek sports car came around the corner and stopped near the men. Zay put her backpack in her car's trunk before greeting the driver stepping out of the newly arrived Nissan Z-Car. The driver was a woman with short, curly black hair, the bangs and tips dyed bright firetruck red. Her look was punctuated by a pair of minimalist snake-bite piercings beneath her lower lip. The girl was wearing a set of auto-mechanic’s coveralls in classic navy blue, the name “Chrys” embroidered in cursive on the front. Zay engulfed the newcomer in a hug, earning the nurse a mild scolding.
“Zay! You’re gonna make me fall!” the girl laughed before loosely returning Zay’s ambush hug. Zay simply giggled and pulled away enough to talk to the girl, Zay’s arm still wrapped around her shoulder.
“Sorry Chrys! I just got excited,” Zay replied, turning her head to look at the group around her car. “Boys, this is my twin sister Chrys! She was kind enough to take the rest of the evening off work to help y’all get settled,” she announced, looking at Chrys with a proud smile. Chrys offered an awkward wave and a “hello” to the rest of group, not expecting the introduction. The boys replied in greeting before Liebgott spoke up.
“Shit! Captain Winters, we need to get our weapons from up front,” he reported urgently. Zay gave the group a confused look before Joe explained further, “We weren’t allowed to bring our weapons into the hospital, so we stashed them in the bushes up front, we put our helmets there too so we wouldn’t have to carry them.”
Zay nodded in understanding before turning to Chrys, “Do you wanna take half in your car and half in mine, then one of us can put their weapons in the trunk?”
Chrys nodded, turning to the group in front of her. “Alright guys, we gotta split up into two groups for the cars, who wants to go with who?”
“I’ll go with Zay!” Luz volunteered, all too eagerly.
“Me too!” followed Liebgott, glaring at Luz.
Nixon chuckled and shook his head at their antics. “I can go with Chrys,” he offered, meeting her eyes for the first time. Just like that, he knew he needed to know her.
“Me too,” Speirs chimed in. He refused to be in the same car as a bickering Luz and Liebgott.
“Can I just have a front seat, whoever I ride with?” Bull asked around his Emotional Support Cigar.
“Yeah sure, I think my front is roomier,” Chrys replied, Zay nodding along.
“Malarkey, do you and Doc Roe wanna come with me, so that you have medical support just in case anything happens?” The two men nodded in response to her question. Winters simply folded his arms, trying to mask his disappointment with focus. “And then captain Winters can take the last seat in my car, so that we have the officers spread out?” Dick’s eyes lit up at Zay’s offer, trying his best to just act casual.
“Yeah, that sounds like a good idea,” he rambled out. “That leaves Guarnere and Toye with Chrys, right?”
“Yeah, I’m good with that,” Guarnere responded. He looked at Toye for his response, who nodded along.
“So it’s Nixon, Speirs, Bull, Guarnere, and Toye with Chrys, and Winters, Roe, Malarkey, Liebgott, and Luz with me, right?” Zay said, confirming the riding arrangements.
“Sounds about right,” Chrys agreed. “Now, just so y’all know, we each only have four seats technically, so someone is going to have to lay across three of y’all in the back.” Some of the men’s eyes grew wide, while others laughed at the notion.
“Enjoy figuring that out, boys,” Bull mused while walking to Chrys’ car. After a few more minutes of discussion and bickering, moderated by Winters, the seating arrangements were agreed upon. In Zay’s car, Malarkey would ride in the front, with Winters, Liebgott, and Roe in the back, Luz laying on top of them. In Chrys’ car, Bull would be in the front, with Nixon, Speirs, and Guarnere sitting in the back, and Joe Toye laying across them. Everyone shifted into their assigned seats/positions, some more willingly than others.
“Someone’s gonna fucking die…” Toye muttered under his breath as he laid across the three men, anger exuding from every pore in his face. Speirs and Nixon were able to keep a straight face, albeit with substantial effort, while Bull simply turned his face away and focused on his ESC. Guarnere, however, could not help the giggles that befell him. The harder he tried to suppress them, the more intense they became. Toye made a mental note to get Gonorrhea back for this…
Meanwhile, in the yellow mustang, Luz was getting situated on his human couch, inadvertently sticking his ass right into Liebgott’s face. “Hey! Watch where you’re sticking that thing!” Joe yelled as he tried to evade touching George’s ass with his face.
“Yeah! That’s a dangerous weapon!” Malarkey called out from his seat up front. Everyone in the car erupted into laughter, save for Luz who shot Don a playful glare.
“I said I was sorry like a million times!” the radioman yelled, sounding very much like a little kid. Once both sisters knew everyone was situated, they drove out of the parking garage. Stopping briefly to place their once-hidden belongings in Chrys’ trunk, the two cars made their way to the twins’ apartment complex. Something that blew the boys’ minds while en route was how the girls played their music during the drive. At first, the men assumed they just had a radio in their cars, which they thought was neat already. However, when Chrys and Zay explained to their respective soldiers how “the cloud” and Spotify work, their minds were utterly blown. This was all the twelve kids talked about as they made their way home.

Beside You (Ron Speirs x Reader Oneshot)
Pairing: Ron Speirs x Female!Reader
Genre: Hurt/Comfort, Fluff
For @brassknucklespeirs (Happy birthday, lovely!! I hope you like this💖 )
A/N: Me, using a Marianas Trench song for a ficlet? You’re damn right lol 😆
Tumblr media
When your tears are spent
On your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close
And sleep in your defense
You didn’t let yourself cry until you were alone, Ron knew that much, so when he saw you disappear into the stillness of the frigid Bastogne night, he knew exactly where you were headed. 
The days of ruthless shelling by the Germans had felled several trees in the nearby area, splintering them to bits…all except one, which lay across the snow a good 8-10 feet away from the rows of foxholes, tucked away behind a steep embankment, away from view. 
It was the perfect place to seek refuge for a brief second and as the company’s only combat nurse, God, did you need it. Try as he might, Doc Roe couldn’t be everywhere at once and that was where you came in. 
From your first day with Easy, you’d made it your mission to get to know every single trooper so that even in the heat of battle, when someone screamed “Medic!”, you could recognize their voice in an instant and get there. You would talk to them as you treated them, about anything they wanted: their families, their hometowns, sports teams, films, whatever they needed to keep them focused and awake. These men were trusting you with their lives and you would not let them down. You were friendly, hardworking, and dedicated to your field and your company; you never let gunfire or explosions hinder you. If you were needed, you were there. 
It was your warm and selfless nature that had first caught the eye of the infamous Ronald Speirs. You captivated him. How could someone so generous, so full of life, be here, in a place like this? You were an angel trapped in Hell but it didn't dim your shine, not even for a moment. You would give the shirt off your back to anyone who needed it, always the first to lend a hand and the last to quit at the day's end. 
Your vitality and generosity meant that you made friends easily, something that the withdrawn and mysterious Ron so envied. Like a magnet, people just gravitated towards you, happy to bask in your energetic glow, and Ron would watch quietly from the sidelines with a goofy smile on his face like a smitten schoolboy. You were like human sunshine, a balm to his hardened & war-torn soul.
When it's in your spine
Like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to
Be still for a while
But Bastogne…Bastogne was a whole different beast, even for someone as dynamic and exuberant as you. The conditions were abysmal, supplies almost nonexistent, and tensions running sky-high. 
 Most of the men you treated were lovely and appreciative of your care, but some… some weren’t. 
You'd first heard the mutterings after the deaths of two Replacements. One had been shot by a sniper that no one had spotted in time and the other had taken the brunt of a particularly nasty firefight. Campbell and Ulrich were both good kids and in both cases, you had done your best with what little you had but it just wasn’t enough. The wounds were too severe and you didn't have the equipment needed to perform a surgery that risky nor could you do it by yourself, on the battlefield of all places. All you could do was kneel beside them, hands bathed in blood, and whisper broken apologies for not being able to do more as they passed.
Eugene, all too familiar with this sort of loss, told you that you needed to forgive yourself. 
“There was nothin’ more you coulda done for 'em, cher,” he said as he handed you half of a bandage he'd scavenged. 
But in your heart, you just couldn’t believe that and neither could some of the boys. 
Roy Cobb had been especially close with Campbell and he had no qualms about telling the newest replacements and anyone else who would listen exactly what he thought had killed his friend and it wasn't the sniper's bullet. 
"What killed him was her damn incompetence," he'd announced, deliberately loud enough for you to hear. "She should've let Roe or Spina treat him, then maybe he would've survived." 
"Nobody wanted her here in the first place either," a mortarman named Lombardi added. "They should've given us a third medic instead of some nurse!"
Doc Spina was way out of earshot but your friend Eugene, who had been nearby, had already begun to argue in your defense when you had marched over to the disgruntled group. 
These were men you had treated in the past, you realized as your tormented fury began to build. You'd risked your life to save these ungrateful assholes and you knew damn well that the moment they needed you on the battlefield, you'd have to do it again. and again. and again.
Cobb shot you a dirty look and muttered something involving the word “useless” and that was all it took. Heart pounding in your ears, you hauled off and punched him so hard that his nose began gushing blood, but the damage had already been done. 
Speirs had heard the commotion from his foxhole and seeing you storm off, tears of frustration and hurt pricking your beautiful eyes, sent an icy rage coursing through his veins that surprised even him.  
Who the fuck hurt you like that?
He was going to find out.
The wrath blazing like hellfire in his eyes as he stalked over was enough to make even grown men cower and the guilty parties quailed under his gaze. Ron dragged each one by the collar behind the nearest tree trunk, pinning them one by one with his forearm across their throats before they could blink. 
“From now on, you will treat (Y/N) with the utmost respect,” he intoned, his voice eerily calm as he applied just enough pressure on their throats to make them cough. “You will treat her as if she were me. And if I ever get wind that you’re mouthing off at her or otherwise mistreating her again, so help me God, there won't be enough left of you to mail home in a cigarette pack. Is that clear?”
"Y-Yes sir," they'd gasped out and grudgingly, he let them dart back to their foxholes one by one like mice.
He had more important things to worry about.
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Seeing you cry tore Ron's heart in two. You were sitting on that felled tree just behind the embankment, hunched over, face buried in your hands as your shoulders shook with silent sobs. 
You were so overcome by your own anguish that you didn’t even hear him approach. Instead, he appeared beside you like a sudden dark spectre against the white snow, making you jump. 
“Holy shit,” you yelped, hurrying to brush the tears from your cheeks. “Damn it, Sparky, warn a girl next time, will ya?”
Ron stood awkwardly beside you, hands shoved deep into his pockets, and you swore you could see a small flush of pink creeping up his cheeks and it wasn’t from the cold. 
“Sorry,” he replied with a sheepish smile. “I forget I do that sometimes. I just…I was… I wanted to see if you were okay.” 
He cursed inwardly. 
What a stupid thing to say, Ron, he berated himself. She’s crying. Does she look “okay” to you?
You tried to return the smile but only succeeded in a wan grimace.
“I’m not okay yet but I will be.” 
You sighed sadly and gestured to the red cross armband on your arm. 
Overwhelmed or not, you were needed.
“I have to be.”
“(Y/N)…May I…Er, if you don’t mind, that is…?” Unable to quite get the words out, he just nodded to the empty spot beside you, earning him a genuine smile from you that filled his chest with warmth. 
“Absolutely,” you replied with a small sniffle, lightly patting the place next to you on the log and effectively putting him out of his tongue-tied misery. “I’d like that a lot.”
When you're overwhelmed
And you've lost your breath
And the space between the things you know is blurring nonetheless
You hadn't exactly intended on telling Ron your whole life story but before you knew it, it all came tumbling out: how you'd grown up, what had inspired you to become a nurse, how much you loved what you did but hated what it did to you, and Speirs listened quietly, hanging onto your every word. 
But when you admitted the toll it took on you to know how little a difference you were making, he balked.
“No difference?” He repeated, his hazel eyes wide with shock. “Are you kidding? Do you…Is this because of what those assholes back there said?” 
You sniffled again with a deflated shrug.
“Assholes or not, I think they made their feelings pretty clear. It'd probably be better for everyone if I just put in for a transfer.”
When you try to speak
But you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach
But they've never been so loud
Your words echoed in Speirs' head like enemy gunfire. 
Transfer…Transfer...Transfer…
Ron felt like you'd just slapped him clear across the face. Come to think of it, he would've preferred it if you had. It would've certainly hurt less than the realization that he would lose you before he'd ever even told you how he felt. 
He'd never been any good at romance. To be honest, he'd never really tried. Girls back home flocked to him like flies to honey but he'd just felt uncomfortable with the attention and tried to set them up with his buddies instead, all of whom were dying for a date. 
Ronald Speirs was a man of action; communication was not his strong suit, which was one of the myriad of reasons he admired you. 
You, who somehow effortlessly made friends wherever you went. 
You, whose smile spread warmth on even the coldest winter day. 
You, whose kindness made everyone that spoke to you feel not only heard but understood.
You who brought the light of springtime to his ever-present darkness, like Persephone to Hades.
He had never understood why you had made it your mission to befriend him since Day 1 when everyone else avoided him like the Plague but he was glad you did. His intimidating gaze and badass reputation didn’t scare you one bit and you had assured him with your usual friendliness that it would take more than some rumors to scare you away.
He couldn’t let you slip away now.
Trust in me, trust in me
Don't pull away
Just trust in me, trust in me
Taking a shaky breath and exhaling, the tiny clouds curled up into the frosty air in spirals as you stood up. After smoothing some of the ice off your clothes, you gave Ron one last, small smile. 
“Thanks for listening,” you said earnestly before remarking with a self-deprecating laugh, “I promise not to be so depressing next time.”
You had just turned to leave when an invisible force compelled him to reach out and grasp your hand at the last second.
“Wait…Please.” 
'Cause I'm just trying to keep it together
Because I could do worse and you could do better
The silence was deafening. You stared at Ron, too stunned to speak, and he stared right back, the green and gold flecks in his hazel eyes catching the moonlight. 
Had it been any other time, you might’ve found it almost funny to see the infamous “Killer” Speirs at a loss for words just from holding your hand but right now…Right now, you could feel a tornado of butterflies in your stomach and you could tell that he was feeling them too.
“(Y/N), I…” he started before cutting himself off with a shake of his head. “Look, I’m no good at this and I’m sure you’ve probably got someone special writing you from back home already but…”
He rubs the back of his neck nervously with his free hand and you tilt your head, silently, as you watch him. 
You’ve never seen him this anxious before, not even in battle. 
Truthfully, you didn’t know a man like Ronald Speirs could get anxious. If the roar of gunfire and artillery didn’t faze him, you had thought nothing could.
“If you’re serious about transferring out, then you should at least know that you’ve made a big difference here, to the men…and to me…” 
He cleared his throat stiffly. 
“Especially to me.” 
Your eyes must’ve been the size of dinner plates. 
Was he saying what you thought he was saying?
“You are without a doubt, the bravest…the most dynamic…the most selfless woman I know,” he continued as his hazel eyes locked intensely with your (E/C) ones.
“Everything about you…You’re just amazing to me. And I know you don’t feel appreciated and with how things have gone lately, I don’t blame you one bit but damn it, (Y/N), you have to understand that you are vital to this company, not just for what you do but for who you are. We need you here.” 
Ron took a shaky breath, exhaling into the frigid night air, before saying quietly, “I need you here.”
I will stay (right beside you)
Nobody will break you
He started to say more but before he could, you dropped his hand and launched yourself at him, knocking the breath out of him as your lips met for the first time. He gently took you into his embrace, causing both your hearts to race, the both of you smiling against each other’s lips. But in your eagerness to deepen the kiss, your teeth clashed slightly against his, sending you into a fit of giggles when you pulled away seconds later.
“Are you…Will you stay?” Ron asked tentatively, still holding you as if you were made of glass. “Please?”
At first, you were tempted to jokingly mull it over but the fear in his golden-green eyes immediately banished the thought from your mind. 
This was Ronald “Killer” Speirs. This was a man who had stared Death in the face without blinking, a man whose ferocity and resolve on the battlefield were practically legendary, a man who could take a life with the same ease as one swats a fly…and yet, here he was before you, putting his whole heart in your hands, a heart most people didn’t even know he had.
“Of course I’ll stay,” you reassured him, the moonlight dancing in your eyes as you gazed into his. “As long as you'll be mine, that is.”
Ron gingerly cupped your face in his hands, the silky smoothness of his soft baritone voice making your heart skip a beat.
“Sweetheart,” he murmured as another slow smile spread across his face. “I’ve always been yours.”
And if your heart wears thin
I will hold you up
And I will hide you
When it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

happy birthday, Law!
Tumblr media
Pairing: Trafalgar D. Water Law x GN!Reader
Warnings: none. just super fluffing fluffy~
A/N: the cliche is birthday sex i'm sure, but mannnn this doc just needs some fluffy feels in his life. happy birthday, you sexy thing!
+ consider supporting me on ko-fi +
He should be thankful for birthdays. 
Law knew better than anyone that a long life was never a guarantee. But celebrating his birthday never felt quite right after that terrible, terrible night. When he lost everything. Maybe it was survivor's guilt. In fact, it most definitely was. 
But despite his own feelings on the subject, his crew always made the effort to celebrate. Maybe it was just an excuse to party, but Law never made an attempt to stop their generosity. He did have one rule, however. 
No gifts.
This rule became established after receiving one too many tacky shirts that never fit, a polar bear pajama onesie, absolutely atrocious alcohol Penguin swore was sake and not swill, a tacky gold necklace that said "Love Doctor" in gold filigree….the list went on. 
So, he let it be known that if anything were to be given to him, let it be in the form of food. Onigiri, preferably. That had yet to be fucked up. Key word being yet, but he remained hopeful that it never would. 
"Happy Birthday, Captain!" 
Bepo eagerly bounced over to Law, paws carrying a large, handmade birthday card. Stickers and awkwardly cut shapes were stuck all over the front, and he could see that most of the glue was still wet. A tiny drop fell from one colorful corner of the paper to the floor. 
"We all signed it," Bepo beamed. He handed the card over to his captain, and waited with hopeful eyes for Law's reaction.
The birthday boy opened the card carefully, trying to avoid wet glue and glitter from getting on his hands more than necessary. True to the Mink's words, the inside was covered in diverse signatures. Happy birthday wishes, smiley faces, jokes about him getting old…a little bit of everything was written throughout. Law smiled, and thanked his dear friend. 
Bepo enveloped him in a - literal - bear hug, and informed him that mountains of onigiri were being prepped in his honor in the galley. 
"Your favorite! We made sure to make all of your favorite fillings, too," Bepo said. "We were thinking about having a picnic on the main deck since the weather is supposed to be good tonight. Shachi said that there might even be a meteor shower!"
Law nodded. "Sounds like a plan." 
He noticed small bits of rice stuck to his friend's fur. With a smirk, he asked if Bepo was the 'quality assurance' tester in the kitchen. The polar bear blushed, and sheepishly said that he couldn't resist.
"[Name] is the best cook! They always lets me taste-test when they're on cooking duty," Bepo sighed dreamily. 
Law was aware. Normally, the duties that were assigned on the Polar Tang rotated to ensure fairness, but it was kind of an unspoken agreement that you would cook more often than not. You were an exceptional cook, and spared no expense to make sure that everyone had delicious meals every day. 
His birthday onigiri was in capable hands tonight.
"Don't drop them!"
"If you watch where you're going I won't!"
Penguin and Shachi bickered back and forth, trying to balance two large and heavy trays out of the kitchen. The silver trays were piled high with fresh onigiri. Little pieces of heaven stuff with tuna, salmon, roe, kombu seaweed, yaki….and much more. Ikkaku and Uni balanced even more trays of onigiri as they followed the other men out of the kitchen. 
You sighed as you wiped your hands on your apron. How long had you been in this kitchen? Too long, but it was a worthwhile endeavor today. Well, it was worthwhile everyday but today was special. It was your Captain's birthday, and you couldn't resist going the extra mile to make sure he had enough of his favorite food. With that in mind, you smiled as you looked at the remnants of today's work. 
"Do those need to go out to the deck?"
You turned, and saw Law standing in the doorway. He pointed to a tray that had a handful of onigiri on them, but you shook your head. 
"No, those ones are for me. They have umeboshi in the middle."
The mere mention of pickled plums made his expression sour, and you laughed. 
"Don't worry, the rest are filled with only your favorites," you said. You removed your apron and set it aside, and you picked up a separate tray that had some uniquely shaped onigiri on it. Some looked like Bepo, others were shaped like whales and penguins. "These are special. Happy birthday!"
Law took the tray, and smiled at how cute they looked. "Seems like a crime to eat something like this. They look great. Thank you."
You felt shy under his gaze, and offered him a bashful 'you're welcome ' in return. A moment passed before you cleared your throat and informed him that you had something to give him.
"I wasn't aware that there was a rule about not getting you any gifts," you explained. "I had already picked out a present for you before Ikkaku told me about it. Um…After dinner, I can give it to you, if you want? When the others aren't around?"
His gray eyes twinkled as an amused, crooked smirk pulled at his lips. He was intrigued, of course, and forgiving towards your trespass against the 'no gifts' rule. You had only been a part of his crew for about a year, having joined after his last birthday. There wasn't a way you could have known, he supposed.
"Alright," he said. Law asked if you needed help with anything else, and when you assured him that you didn't, he made his way up to the deck. 
You gathered up your tray of heathenous umeboshi onigiri, and followed after him.
"[Name]!"
A harsh whisper of your name stopped you. Ikkaku was by your side in a flash, eyes wide and excited. 
"You got the captain a present?! What is it?!"
You hushed her. "Zip it! Don't let the others hear you!"
She placed a hand over her lips, but impishly pestered you to continue. With a sigh, you shifted awkwardly under her gaze.
"Alright, alright. Yes, I got him a present. It's nothing special, really - "
"Oh, stop. He'll love it as long as it's from you!"
Before you could ask her to elaborate, Ikkaku squealed in delight and continued:
"Are you going to tell him? You know, about your feelings?"
"What?! No! Why would I do that?" You were aghast at the mere suggestion of even telling Law that you liked him. You know, like-liked him. Wink wink. 
How on earth could you possibly navigate a conversation like that with him? He was so stoic and reserved, apathetically amused by the world around him despite how fucked up it was. Surely, he wouldn't have any interest in hearing how much you enjoyed his company, or how much you liked how intelligent he was. Or how, despite his great efforts to seem aloof, he really did care about people. Then, of course, there were the more…physical traits that you could appreciate. That went without saying. 
You shook your head. No! No way! You didn't dare admit your feelings. Not today. It was Law's birthday, and you were perfectly content celebrating the absolute treasure that he was - sans confession. 
Ikkaku pouted. "Aw, that's no fun…"
You poked your tongue out at her and scurried up the stairs. "Too bad, so sad!"
—-
The evening was a delight. The crew drank, laughed and devoured your carefully crafted onigiri. You believed Law's birthday to be a success, and you hoped that felt that way as well.
He was off to the side and away from the ruckus of his crew. His gray eyes watched the ocean waves, seemingly lost in thought. The sun had set a while ago, and the moon's glow made everything twinkle like silver. You couldn't take your eyes off of him, and it delighted you to see how handsome he was like this. Your fingers held the box in your hands carefully, and you wondered if you should even bother giving it to him. 
"Don't you dare back out," Ikkaku whispered. 
You jumped out of your skin, placing a hand over your heart. "Oh, my God, Ikkaku! You scared me!"
"Sorry," she giggled. "I could see the look on your face. You were second guessing yourself, weren't you?"
You nodded, bashfully looking at the box in your hands. Ikkaku smiled, and hugged you affectionately. 
"Don't worry," she said. "He'll love it. I promise you that whatever it is, it can't be any worse than the pimp chain Shachi got him a few years ago. Can you imagine the Captain wearing a necklace that said "Love Doctor" on it? Ugh."
You laughed. The imagery of such a thing was pretty ridiculous. 
Ikkaku gave you one last squeeze before she directed her attention to the rest of the crew. In a stern and commanding voice, she announced that the next step for the night was to get the kitchen cleaned. Groans of disapproval filled the air, but she wasn't having any of it.
"The sooner it gets done, the better!" She said, "Let's go, let's go, let's go!"
She winked at you, and herded the men off of the main deck. You could hear Penguin complain about cleaning up your mess, followed by a loud smack and a pitiful cry of pain. 
"[Name] spent all day in that kitchen making dinner for the Captain and for you. Don't you dare complain!" 
You laughed to yourself, a certain warmth filling your chest at how much you truly loved your fellow crewmates. But now, it was just you and Law. 
He seemed to be expecting you, as he turned to face you. He leaned against the deck railing, watching as you fiddled with the box in your hands. You approached him carefully, tentatively. It was cute, in a way. 
"So…" you began, "Happy Birthday, Captain. Here's your present."
You held your breath as he took the box from you. The tips of his fingers brushed against yours, and you could feel your soul just about leave your body at the sensation. 
Law eyed the box curiously, tilting it back and forth in his hands. Maybe he was teasing you by leaving you in suspense, but your heart could hardly take it. 
In a rush of words that almost sounded distinguishable, you babbled on about how you didn't have any idea what to get him. You thought about clothes, another hat, jewelry, something physician related…You rambled about how nothing quite seemed to suite him, so eventually you settled on this because -
"I thought that it would make you smile!" You exclaimed. "But then Ikkaku told me that most of the gifts you've gotten were kind of tacky and like a bad joke…I had already bought it by then, and I couldn't figure out anything else - "
"[Name.]"
You let out a nervous squeak as he stopped you, and for a moment you hated how amused he looked at your expense. He held your gaze as his fingers tore the wrapping paper inch by inch until the top of the box was exposed. You pressed your fingers to your lips, anxiety fraying your nerves terribly. 
Law removed the lid, and lifted out a mug from the crisp and clean tissue paper buried within. It was a simple white mug, but when he turned it over in his hand, Law's eyes widened. 
This is it, you thought. You squeezed your eyes shut, face buried in your palms as you waited for the dreaded moment where Law would scold you for giving him a terrible gift. 
" 'World's Okayest Doctor'," he read aloud. 
You groaned and shook your head. "I'm sorry, it's probably the worst gift ever. I just thought it would make you smile! Of course you're a terrific doctor - "
He said your name again, making you stop short. You peaked at him through your fingers, and were amazed to see the smirk on his lips.
"Nothing could be worse than the "Love Doctor" necklace Shachi gave me," Law said. "Thank you for this."
You nodded slowly, carefully moving your hands away from your blushing face. "Y-You're welcome, Captain."
You were always awake before the others, save for Jean Bart and Law respectively. Or whoever was on night watch. But it was rare that anyone was in the kitchen before you on any given day. So, the fact that the light was on made you curious.
You padded into the galley, rubbing sleep from your eyes. What would you make for breakfast today…? 
With a deep breath, you savored the smell of coffee. Already it perked you up, and you knew that only one person on the Polar Tang would make coffee this early.
"Good morning, Captain," you said. 
Law was leaning against the kitchen island, the morning's paper in his hands. Across from him was a freshly brewed pot of coffee. "Good morning," he replied. He turned the page of his paper, eyes focused on whatever bullshit filled the space. 
You hummed, admiring his bed-head and wrinkled pajamas. He always seemed so put together, so in the rare times you got to see Law in this state, you pressed it upon your conscience as much as you could. You wanted to remember it vividly and fondly. 
Reaching for a clean mug in one of the cupboards, you went about pouring yourself a cup of coffee. "Did you sleep well?" You asked.
"No better than usual," he said. Perhaps one night he would be blessed with a full, restful sleep. But he wasn't holding his breath on that.
"I see. Well - "
You stopped short as you turned to face him. Maybe it was silly to be rendered speechless over something so simple as Law drinking coffee, but it was a bit more than just that.
His gray eyes were on you, watching you carefully over the rim of his mug. But not just any mug. It was the mug. The mug that you gave him. 
You couldn't stop the grin that lit up your face. Your cheeks felt warm, and your heart was giddy. 
"Is that a new mug?" You asked, pretending as if you hadn't given it to him the night before.
Law nodded slowly, appreciatively. "It is," he concurred. "I got it as a birthday present, actually."
You giggled, holding your own mug close to your chest. "Oh, really? That's awesome! Are you really the "world's okayest doctor"?"
Law smirked at you. "I like to think so."
"Then I guess I'm in good hands, then. I-I mean, we are in good hands! As in the crew. All of us. Are in good hands - your hands. Yeah."
You stumbled over your words, blush deepening. You sipped at your coffee, wincing at how hot it was. That's fine - let it burn away your embarrassment.
"I think it's my new favorite mug, actually," Law mused casually. The mischievous spark in his eyes was not lost on you, and you swore that his teasing would be the death of you.
—-
Off in the doorway, unbeknownst to either of you, a bet was being made amongst certain members of the crew.
"I bet a hundred berry that [Name] confesses their feelings by his next birthday," Shachi whispered. 
Ikkaku shook her head. "No way! I bet two hundred berry that they confess before Christmas!"
Penguin scoffed. "You're both going to lose. Clearly, it will be the captain that makes them confess, and I bet three hundred berry that he'll get them to do it by the time we stop on the next island."
Shachi and Ikkaku gasped at his audacity. "Bet!"
A sleepy Bepo was left out, confused and hungry. "What do you think [Name] will make for breakfast today?" he asked. "I hope it's more onigiri."
Happy Birthday, Law! 💕

Tumblr media
The beer was cool against Eugene’s lips as he raised the bottle, taking a long swig of the golden liquid. He watched the scene unfolding in front of him, as George Luz tried hopelessly to flirt with the poor barmaid who wasn’t the slightest bit interested. He’d been at it for the best part of an hour but he still hadn’t given up hope. Eugene and Babe Heffron gave up trying to help him, wanting to preserve what little dignity George still had left as the barmaid landed another wounding blow to his ego and resigned to a game of darts with Buck Compton and Joe Toye.
“The winner gets two packs of smokes?” Joe asked, twirling the dart delicately between his fingers, a smirk on his face.
“You’re on,” Babe replied, dragging Eugene with him who followed reluctantly, downing the rest of his beer before taking the darts from his friend and lining himself up with the board. “Go on Gene, show 'em what ya got.” Babe cheered, clapping his hands enthusiastically and causing a red tint to spread across Eugene’s cheeks. He threw the first two darts with ease, not letting the noise of the bar or the jeering from his comrades distract him. Before he threw the third dart, the door swung open letting in the cool evening breeze and sending a shiver down Eugene’s spine, a pleasant relief from the sticky sweat beneath his class A uniform. His dark eyes moved to the door where they met those of a certain female medic who was smiling jovially and waving at a group of his fellow Easy Company men. Eugene gulped, averting his eyes back to the darts board when he felt a hand appear on his shoulder. “Do I notice a blush on those cheeks, Eugene?” Buck whispered into his ear, causing Gene to duck away from him.
“No…got nothin’ to blush about…just warm in here,” Eugene tugged at the collar of his uniform, emphasising how warm he was.
“Sure thing, Doc,” Buck smirked at him as Eugene took his last turn before handing the darts off to Joe.
“Buck’s right you know,” Babe chimed in, following Eugene as he retreated to the bar. “You’ve just gotta talk to her, she’s a nice gal and if the way she’s been looking over here all night I reckon she feels the same way.”
Eugene leant forward, coughing frantically on the sip of beer he’d just taken.
“Christ Gene, don’t die on me,” Babe laughed, slapping the medics back playfully. Eugene gave Babe a stern glare causing the young paratrooper to put his hands up in mock surrender. “Just think about it.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the evening drew on, Eugene found his senses dwindling from the alcohol he’d consumed. He’d somehow been drawn into a drinking game with Chuck and Floyd and could feel his brain begin to falter as he fumbled his way through the bar to a seat in the corner. Eugene's mind was swaying aimlessly when a familiar figure sat down beside him, equally wobbly from their alcohol intoxication.
“Hey Genie,” she blushed, running her hand through his dark locks causing him to freeze. “How’re you doing?” She mumbled, slumping down beside him.
“I… ’m okay… good…you?” Eugene gulped, glancing at Y/n as she grinned.
“I’m good but I’m even better now I’m here with you,” she grabbed ahold of his hands. “Do you want to get some air, it’s a little stuffy in here.” She bit her lip and batted her lashes. Eugene gulped again.
“Yeah, course…I’d…love to.”
Y/n grabbed hold of his hand, leading him between the crowds of paratroopers to the door, a few whistles and shouts of ‘go get her Gene’ followed them.
The cool air brushed Eugene’s face, bringing some relief from the stifling heat of the bar. Taking a deep breath and watching as the air left his lungs in a small puff into the night, he began to feel some relief.
“Eugene, I need to tell you something. I’ve wanted to tell you for a while and now that we’re going back into combat I need to tell you before it’s too late and I don’t get the chance,” Y/n rambled, reeling off the sentences in one breath without turning to face him. Eugene moved slowly, fearful of frightening the panicked woman who stood before him. They were facing each other but Y/n wouldn’t meet his eyes. “Y/n?” He squeezed her hands lightly causing her to look up, his eyes pleading with her.
“You don’t feel the same do you?” She asked, her bottom lip began to quiver and her eyes watery. The image broke Eugene’s heart and he quickly stepped forward pulling the young woman into his chest. Her shoulders shook a little and he rushed to comfort her. “Shhh mon amour, please don’tcha think that,” Eugene begged, pressing his lips firmly to her hairline in a desperate attempt to bring her some comfort.
“I have loved ya since I laid eyes on you, ain’t ya the most beautiful, strong and brave woman I ever seen,” this time it was Eugene’s turn to ramble. “I was just too afraid in case ya didn’t feel the same.”
Y/n looked up a little shell shocked from his confession. She’d never heard the Cajun man speak so plainly or so much that she wasn’t sure how to reply, instead she grabbed hold of his collar, pushing her lips to his. Eugene let out a small yelp of protest before he too cercumed to the kiss, winding his arms around her waist and holding her firmly against him.
When they pulled apart Y/n was smiling widely, “Do you maybe want to walk me to my billet?” She bit her lip, watching as the cogs of Eugene’s mind turned frantically.
“Y…yes,” he finally stuttered, taking hold of her arm and they began the short journey to the house where Y/n was staying.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“We shouldn't be doin’ this,” Eugene groaned as she began placing hot, open-mouth kisses along his jugular, nipping at the sensitive flesh. “Y/n.” His hands gripped ahold of her hips, stopping any movement and causing Y/n to look up, her eyebrows furrowed as she watched him worriedly. Had she overstepped the line? Did he not want her? It had been pretty clear how he was feeling when he’d carried her up the stairs, stripping her of her clothes as they went. Y/n swiftly climbed off his lap, stepping away from him and straightening the nonexistent creases in her uniform shirt. “I'm sorry… Gene, I'm so sorry… I didn’t,” she began digressing, unable to meet his eyes as her lips ran wild, words tumbling from them at an embarrassingly rapid rate.
Eugene stood quickly, stepping over towards her and grasping hold of her hands, bringing them up to his lips and silencing her ramblings.
“It ain’t that at all, ma chérie, of course, I want ya. I've wanted ya for so long but I needa make sure ya want this too. I need to know how far ya wanna go with this because honestly,” he paused, rubbing his hand over the back of his neck awkwardly. “I don’t think I'll be able to stop myself once we’ve started. God, I'm weak.” Eugene slumped back down on the bed, running his hand over his face with a low groan, “It’s just that I’ve never felt this way before and I know it's wrong and we shouldn’t but I…” Gene was silenced by Y/n’s lips pressing firmly to his, her hand winding around his neck and into his hair as his hands came to rest upon her hips.
“I want this, Gene,” she breathed, her breath fanning over the sensitive skin of his neck. “I want you.”
It was as if a switch flicked in Eugene’s mind because the next thing Y/n knew she was pinned beneath him, his strong arms resting on either side of her head, his mouth sucking deep bruises on her abdomen and his hands trailing down her sides, stroking her hips lovingly.
“Gene,” she gasped as he grazed his teeth along the skin of her lower abdomen. “God, yes Gene. Yes!” Eugene’s hands worked quickly, slipping her underwear down her legs and discarding them across the room, placing small kisses on her thighs.
Eugene couldn’t believe his luck when he looked up at Y/n, the woman he’d been in love with since Toccoa was here, beneath him, letting him make love to her. The smell of her hair, the soft moans that left her perfect mouth, and her salty, sweaty skin beneath his lips drove him wild. His lips worked quickly, lapping and kissing between her thighs until she was a moaning mess, hands fisted into the bedsheets, back arching off the bed.
“Eugene, please,” Y/n all but cried, fisting her hands into his dark locks, tugging him upwards to kiss him. Eugene’s lips curled up into a smirk, his dark eyes shining. “Please Gene, I need you.” She begged, pulling him flush against her body and fiddling at the buckle of his trousers desperately.
“Someone’s needy, ain’t ya Darlin’,” Gene asked, smoothing down the loose hairs from around her face. Y/n managed to slip her hand down into his underwear, fingers grazing against his hard cock, pulling it free from his trousers. Eugene let out a shaky breath, his hands stabilising himself against the headboard.
“God preserve me,” he muttered through gritted teeth as Y/n ran her thumb over his red tip. Y/n smiled up at him, running her other hand softly over his cheek.
“I love you, Eugene.”
“I love to too, Ma Chérie.” He sealed his lips to hers, stealing the air from her lungs. Gene’s hands shook with anticipation as he dragged the head of his cock up and down your sex agonisingly slow. Eugene let out a choked sound as he sunk into her, both of them reeling at the feeling of fullness. Y/n’s hands gripping tightly to his shoulders, leaving deep red marks on his pale flesh.
“You’re so tight,” he grunted, pulling back slightly before rocking himself forward. Y/n groaned, squeezing her pelvic muscles as Eugene bit back a pained whimper escaping from his plump lips.
Y/n chuckled slightly and did it again, his grip tightening on her hips and he sent her a warning glare. Eugene’s thrust became more desperate, needier. His hands moved to pin hers above her head, chests impossibly close.
The room was quickly filled with soft moans and needy whines as he brought her to the edge. Y/n’s eyes were closed, too consumed by the pleasure building in her stomach, the knot tightening deep in her abdomen.
“Look at me ma Chérie, I want to see ya. I need ya to look at me.” Eugene pleaded, his voice strained as he too fought his orgasm. As Y/n opened her eyes the band snapped and she was sent spiraling into her ecstasy, hips bucking upwards uncontrollably. Eugene soon followed, cumming with a loud cry as he buried his head into her neck, loud breaths muffled by her flesh.
The couple lay there for a few minutes, both too exhausted to move or speak, too wrapped up in their moment of satisfaction.
“Eugene,” Y/n spoke slowly, carding her fingers through his locks. Eugene let out a small hum in response, tilting his head to look at her. “Thank you.”
“What for, Darlin’?” He asked, propping himself up above her.
“For this. For making me feel this way… for loving me,” she admitted sheepishly. Eugene's normally shy features burst with love, his smile growing wider than ever. “It weren’t difficult ma Chérie. It was real easy to love you and I found it impossible to stop myself from loving ya.” He admitted, a red hue growing across his cheeks causing Y/n to smile too.
“Well, I’m very glad you didn’t stop yourself. I love you.” She caressed his cheek, leaning their foreheads together lovingly. “As do I, ma Chérie.”

You ask and you will receive 😈😈😈😈 Doc Roe smut seems to be the most popular of all my work.
18+ content below the cut, it’s smuttttt so be warned! This was a tricky one because I wasn’t sure if you meant vocal as in during sex??? Or before/ after? Kinda incorporated the two. This isn’t proof read so I hope it’s okay, I kinda wish I did something a little different with it but oh well!
Eugene Roe x fem reader smut.
Tumblr media
“Gene.” I whined, feeling the soft of his hands sneaking across the smooth of my nursing corps uniform, over my hips. My boyfriends face was slowly nudging closer to my neck, bending his body ever so slightly over mine as I felt the pushing of his front against my back.
Eyes narrowing, I focused on folding the bandages ahead of me, but there was something overwhelmingly distracting about what was happening in Gene’s lower region. Oh my god. “Are you-“
“Mm love this uniform.” Never the most vocal normally, only when he really got comfortable and somewhat intimate, did Gene become more confident with his… well words and abilities. I could feel the warmth spread to my face. We were in a flimsy medical tent in the middle of Austria. Whilst the threat of instant danger was gone, there was little to no privacy.
Spinning around, my lower back hit the back of the table, gazing back over Gene’s gentle eyes. “Do you?” Half playfully, I questioned him, receiving a nod in return. “And I love you.” He pointed out, stepping closer with a hand stroking gently over my cheek, gazing over the sensitivity of my neck as a soft hum escaped my lips. “And I love you Gene, but-“ he’d cut me off my pressing a gentle, quick kiss upon my lips. Our eyes lingered over one another, there was the obvious lust filling his, a sight I didn’t often get to see throughout the war, we barely had anytime for intimacy. Now the war within Europe was over, we’d been making up for lost time. Unable to resist, I tip toed up to him, kissing him a little more firmly this time.
The kiss heated, his hands gripping me all over, pulling me closer to him with a desperation unlike no other. “God, Gene.” I gasped, overwhelmed with lust for the man, my hand resting on his lower stomach. Gene was breathing quickly, chest rising and falling at a fast rate as his much larger hand slid over my own, eyes cautiously wandering down.
“Feel what you do to me…” his voice came out as a whisper as I let out an uncontrolled moan, allowing him to nudge my hand over the hardness of his bulge. It was all for me, he was all for me. At the sound of my soft whine, his eyes snapped back up, watching me inquisitively as my hand remained over his bulge for a few seconds.
That was until the opening of the tent flap startled us both, our bodies jumping up to attention, Gene’s head snapping over his shoulder to look at the intruder. Curse you Babe Heffron.
“Hey, Eugene- oh! Shit, ah, sorry, I didn’t realise you’d both be… in here- doing… that.” Amused, and slightly embarrassed, Babe attempted to turn around to conceal his laughter.
“Oh we weren’t doing that!!!” The defence quickly left my mouth. “Babe, ain’t you heard of knocking?” Gene mumbled, turning back down to me.
“There ain’t nothin’ to knock on!” “What do you need?” Gene then cleared his throat, clearly happening his fellow soldier would leave. I was kinda hoping the same, now Gene had initiated some kinda control over the situation, I was aching for more.
“Ah- don’t worry ‘bout it. Nothin’ important, I’ll leave you to go get back to whatever you were doin’.” With a smirk, Babes voice quietened as he backed further out of the tent. The instant he was gone, Gene dropped his head with an amused breath of laughter. I, however, unswayed by the interaction, moved up to kiss his jawline sweetly.
The softness of my lips made him inwardly exhale, fingers softly travelling over the hem of my skirt, teasing and tugging in a manner that indicated he wanted it off. Not giving up yet, my lips deepened their attack on his neck, kissing, licking, sucking as he let out another manly breath, especially when I moved up to the shell of his ear.
Swiftly, Gene lifted me by the back of the thighs, jumping me up onto the table behind me and nudging my legs apart with his body. “Gene, not in here.” My lips parted from his neck. Redness trailed where my lips had been, a mixture of lipstick and love bites marking the spot.
“I need ya’, so bad.” He hummed into my ear, stepping further in so his crotch was flush against mine. The feeling of his erection grazing over my inner thigh was teasing, and whether he meant to do it on purpose, it made my core begin to ache for more and more. “Right here.” Gene then borderline moaned, hips grinding into my core as a stunned gasp left my lips.
“All cos a’ this outfit.” He smirked, borderline giggling as a cheeky smile grew on my face now, stroking over his cheeks before my fingers daringly ran down to the buckle of his belt. “Let’s go somewhere more private. Then we don’t gotta worry about how loud we are.” I informed. Red in the face, Gene didn’t hesitate to agree. I walked in front of him, every step, sneaking off to one of the abandoned Nazi houses in which privacy was easy to find. The houses stretched on for miles, it wasn’t hard to find an undiscovered one.
I let out a soft moan of satisfaction when I opened the French doors to overlook the balcony facing the Austrian lake. It was beautiful. “Wow.” Gene muttered, pressing himself behind me.
“Mmm, come on then Gene, now you can do whatever you want to me.” With a look of lust, one glance was enough before he’d pressed his lips upon mine, stumbling us backwards so I was pressed against the balcony edge. I’d dreamt of Gene and I making love on a balcony here, now my fantasies were playing out, it was all too exciting.
Gene wasn’t in the mood for a slow build up, he was quick to have his fingers sliding up my inner thigh, the desperate ache of my pussy now becoming nothing short of painful. He cupped me teasingly, a quiet hum escaping my lips as I shifted his fingers over my clit. “Please, no teasing.” I shyly admitted as he gazed down over me, running his fingers over my heat.
“God, I need you so bad.” He borderline growled, lips pressing roughly against my temple as my hands now fought against the buckle on his belt. His hand was struggling to get under my stockings, whereas I’d shoved my hand down the front of his pants with ease. “You’re so hard, it must hurt.” I whined, leaning back to gaze up to the handsome man.
“Fuck.” He muttered, his other hand moving up to tug down my stockings. Crack. Out of frustration, the material of my stockings had ripped over my crotch, he paused for a moment, doubting whether he should’ve done that, but the heat of the moment spurred us on and soon I was pressing my tongue and lips right back up against his again.
My fingers wrapped over his cock, feeling him pulsate with every stroke I made over his sensitive tip. I started a rhythm, one of Gene’s hands moving to drop over my own, moving with me as a guttural moan escaped his lips. “I like it when I can hear you.” I shyly admitted as Gene exhaled out shakily. “Yeah?”
“uh huh.” “Well I like it when I can actually get into your pants.” He struggled, before ripping my tights some more. I moaned, his fingers pushing my panties to one side as he scooped up my wetness. He looked mesmerised for a moment, gently sliding his fingers back and fourth over my wet pussy. I could hear how wet I was, fuck, I was so turned on.
“Oh my god.” He lowly moaned, head dropping onto me and eyes closing as I slowed my moment over his cock. “Let me taste you. You always taste so good.” He muttered, then, dropping to his knees and not hesitating to attach his lips to my core.
“Oh my god, Gene.” One hand gripped the balcony’s edge, whilst the other was in his hair. My head tilted back, staring up at the tranquil sky above as my other hand came to grip his arm which was resting over my bum. A guttural hum escaped his closed lips causing me to gasp out again, god everything about this moment was overwhelming.
The way he sucked and licked over my sensitive core, his tongue swiping over my clit, it had me tensed out, aching for release. One of Gene’s hands slid up my thigh, he sucked one finger, lubricating it before sliding it inside of me. “Fuck, fuck.” I whined, fists balling in his short hair as he let out a slight moan from the sensation.
“Does that feel good?” He borderline teased as I dropped my head to face him between my legs. “Feels so good, don’t stop. Don’t stop.” I whispered out as a soft smile grew on his face. “M’ not gonna stop… you look so good from down here.” He groaned, pressing a light kiss just above my pubic bone before he swiped his tongue over my pubic mound and back through my slit.
As the tension inside of me grew, Gene had booked one leg over his shoulder in order to give me more pleasure. I couldn’t help but squirm and jerk around as his movements got faster, using two of his fingers to hit the perfect spot. “Oh- Gene, oh my god, you’re gonna make me cum.” I gasped out as his eyes met mine. He hummed and nodded against me, my hands were now tightly balled around the stone balcony behind me, shaking and trembling desperately.
Quickly, I chased my high, coming down with a loud whine of his name, feeling like I’d lost all of my senses apart from the throbbing off my pussy below. My eyes were closed when Gene made his way back up, “was that good, sweetheart?” He knew it was good.
“Mmmmhhh.” I moaned, fluttering my eyes open as he wiped his mouth before moving down to kiss me. “That turned me on so much, having you cum all over my face like that.” Shocked by his words, my lips tugged up, pulling him in for a gentle make out session.
“Can’t keep my hands off you.” He grumbled, squeezing my ass as he bunched up my skirt. “Where do you want me, Gene?” I panted, desperately unbuckling his uniform pants fully now, pushing them down to the floor as his cock sprung up.
“Wherever you want me, sweetheart.” He muttered again, breathless as one of his hands moved down to stroke over his cock lightly. An idea sprung to mind as I turned around on the balcony, lifting my dress fully now as Gene sighed out happily. He’d tugged down my ripped stocking and underwear, swiping his cock over my wetness. “Need a condom, just gimme a sec.”
“No…” I arched my crotch further into his cock, allowing him to feel the bare of my pussy against himself. I heard a quick breath leave his mouth, knowing he was struggling to not sink into me right away. “Are ya’ sure?” He muttered, leaning over me, both hands on mine as I nodded.
“Yeah, please Gene.” “Fuck.” He seethed as his tip slid in with a gentle push. My mouth dropped and eyes closed as I enjoyed the sounds of his pleasure right up against my ear. “Ah, ya’ feel too good.” He groaned, feeling him fill his length up inside of me carefully.
“Gene.” I moaned, hand clamping backwards over his back as he sweetly pressed a kiss to my kiss. For the first few seconds he was super gentle, allowing me to get used to the sensation as he ran his hands all over me, my back, my hands, my hair, my ass. It felt like he couldn’t get enough of me and it felt amazing.
“Does it feel good?” I smiled, feeling the thrust of his hips slowly push into mine. “Too good.” He sighed out, pushing himself up so he could increase the pace ever so slightly.
“You can go harder.” “God, you’re so tight though.” He strained as I gasped out feeling his cock hit into my G spot. “Fuck.” He cursed out, pushing his hips right up against my ass. “I don’t care if you cum quick, I want it Gene, please!” With one last whine, he began fucking into me at a more solid rate. I attempted to muffle my moans at first, but I very quickly learnt there was absolutely nobody around, so I let myself go fully.
“Gene!” I panted. “I wanna hear you, I wanna hear you, please.” Arching upwards, I stood on my tip toes and he pulled me against himself, hands working on the buttons off my dress before eventually pulling it over my head. I was left in my skimpy under gown which Gene removed swiftly, hands gripping my bare tits as he panted and moaned out against me.
“Oh god, I love you.” He groaned into my neck, kissing and biting desperately as I yelled out in pleasure, feeling the harsh thrusts of his hips against mine. He was pushing his cock as far inside me as possible, fucking me at an overwhelmingly fast rate as the sound of our skin slapping together filled the air.
“Oh fuck.” He tensed, stopping his thrusts all together. “I love you too- why did you stop?”
“Cos I’m gonna cum…” he sheepishly admitted, pulling out slowly to give himself a break. “You can cum, it’s okay.” I spun around, reaching up to wrap my arms around the back of his neck in order to kiss him deeply.
“Not so soon.” He muttered as my hands wrapped over him, replacing his own as my left hand came to cup at his full balls. “God, you’re so hard for me.” I whispered into his ear as he let out a soft, breathy moan, head dropping against my own.
“Does it hurt Gene, how hard you are for me?” I teased. “Stop.” He whispered, indicating I needed to shut up. “Why? Cos you’re gonna cum?” I scanned over his facial expression, stopping my movements as my hand moved up to his tie, slackening and releasing it from him.
“Ya’ killing me, Angel.” He exhaled out, unbuttoning his shirt as a playful smile grew on my face. “Where d’ya want me Gene?” I slid his khaki shirt off him, enjoying him completely bare for me. This is where he got shy, telling me what he wanted, if it didn’t involve my pleasure, then he was worried about answering.
My hand began moving against his wet cock, kissing him lightly. “Hm?” “Want ya’ mouth.” He admitted as I let out a gentle gasp, scanning over his eyes before not hesitating to drop down onto my knees. Gene stepped back a little, giving me more room as he watched me with an anticipating look, just waiting for the pleasure to begin.
“Like this?” I teased, licking up a stripe on his veiny cock. “Or like this?” I sucked over the sensitivity of his balls as he let out a cry, fist tightening in my hair. He’d managed to drag me back up to my lips were open around his cock. “Ya’ need to stop teasing me.” He warned as I giggled, sucking on the tip of his cock.
“No I don’t.” I licked his precum spilling out as his other hand now pushed on my head, down onto his cock as I had to resist giggling. This is exactly what I wanted, the way he’d lost control and started fucking my mouth. Even when I stopped bobbing my head he was still thrusting desperately into the back of my throat.
When his choppy breaths turned into grunts and groans, that’s when I knew he was close to release. My hand was squeezing gently over his balls, playing with them as I took over, deep throating his large cock before he began choking out boyish moans.
“Cum in my mouth, Gene.” I jerked him off at a fast rate, his back arching over, one hand in my hair tightly, the other on the balcony behind me as he let out a strained, “fuck.” Before he began spilling out onto my tongue, shooting ropes of his cum over my mouth, chin and tits.
He was groaning out loud, panting, his vocal moans turning me on even more as I sucked the last of his cum from the tip of his cock. Fuck, we’d made a mess, but it was worth it. Gene looked like an Angel coming down from his high, and he sounded like one as well.
After a few moments he regained full attention and his hand that was once tugging on my hair began stroking gently. “Are you okay?” He breathlessly asked, a smile growing on my face as I wiped the cum off my chin sheepishly. “Yeah. Are you?” He helped wipe my face clean as I giggled a little, allowing him to pull me back onto my feet.
“I’m so good now…”

The Last Time | Eugene Roe x m!reader
@satan-incarnate-666 asked: “It’s just one kiss for good luck” doc roe x m!reader
summary: goodbye isn't always permanent, but then again, it's not always easy to say, either
tws: smoking, swearing, angst.

Studying the documents that had been left on your desk by your commanding officer, you were unaware when Roe walked into the room; he was in good spirits, hair damp from sweat and cheeks bright red. He had run all the way, just to see you. He always ran.
He paused, catching his breath for a moment before he lit a cigarette and sat opposite your desk, watching you for a moment; if there was one thing Roe loved in the world, it was to watch you when you were concentrating.
He could have sworn that he had never seen you so handsome; his head tilted slightly to the side, he could feel the sweat rolling from his forehead down his face, some of it getting caught on his lip.
But he sat there, letting himself come down from his impromptu exercise for a moment before he cleared his throat; his breathing steady, he leaned forward, and caught your attention with his stupidly charming smile.
You looked him up and down for a moment, noticing that he wasn’t in uniform; you furrowed your brows, frowning for a moment.
“Why the get-up?”
Roe laughed softly, raising his brows slightly. “It’s today.”
“What is?”
“The exam,” he told you. “They’re giving a few of us a couple of extra bits of training for in the field - today’s the exam.”
Fuck. You had forgotten. You shook your head, your thumb on one side of your jaw as your fingers rested on the other side; Roe could see you were about to start beating yourself up for forgetting. He knew you too well to not know. 
“Fuck,” you muttered. “Eugene, I’m so sorry, baby, I-”
“It’s fine,” he said, shaking his head. “Looking at what you’ve got there… I get it. You’re busy.”
“No, I wanna be there for you,” you complained. “I really do, and I fucking forgot that the exam was today, I’m so, so sorry.”
“It’s okay,” Roe insisted. “But… there is one thing you could do.”
“Anything,” you told him with a shrug. “You name it, and I’ll do it. I’d even throw a lasso around the stars and wrangle them all for you.”
He grinned, licking his lips. “No, just… a kiss.”
“A kiss?” You raised your brow, a little confused. He never asked for you to kiss him, he never needed to. 
“It’s just one kiss for good luck,” he clarified. “That’s all, Cap.”
You hummed, pushing your chair back before you dared to get up, planting your hands on his chair as you leaned over him for a moment, trying not to laugh and grin; you bent down, softly kissing his lips. Roe smiled into it, reaching up and gently cupping your jaw in hopes that it would keep you so terribly close.
He knew once the exam was over, he would be asked to return to active duty; he knew that his time with you would be cut short. But that didn’t matter, he just wanted to be close and to make the most of it.
Besides, you would join him soon enough; you were only ever a day or two behind him with your own regiment. He knew it wasn’t completely the end. Just a temporary separation. But then you pulled away, raking a hand through his sweat soaked hair as you smiled and shook your head. 
“Good luck, Doc.”
“Coming from you,” Roe murmured. “That means so much more.” 
“I mean it,” you told him, stealing another short and sweet kiss. “I’ll be waiting right here when you get back, I promise. You can tell me all about it, then.”
“You really wanna hear about ligatures?” He asked with a scoff, hardly able to keep his laughter to himself.
You shrugged, daring to hum as you trailed your finger from his temple to his chin. “When it’s you talking? Always. Might not know the first fucking thing about it, but I could listen to you for days on end talking about it.”
Roe smiled, standing up so that he could wrap his arms around you tightly; he didn’t want to say it, he didn’t want to force himself to tell you goodbye even though he knew that it would only be temporary. He didn’t want to make himself say the words that he had dreaded for so long, the words that made his throat feel raw and sticky, clogged and filled with cotton.
The words that made it difficult to breathe when he was near you; so he held onto you, hoping that that would be enough and that he would remember the smell of your cologne, the feel of your hands as you returned the embrace, and your soft breathing.
He hoped that he would remember all those things when he closed his eyes at night and dreamed of you, dreamed of the dwindling days until you were together again. 
He just had no idea that, after his exam, he would run back to find you and would discover your office was empty. Roe had no idea that halfway through his exam, you would be called into active duty; he wouldn’t know that you would be in France before him.
He wouldn’t know that you had stolen one of his shirts that he kept in your quarters in case he ever forgotten a fresh one after staying the night, his awful habit of sleeping in whatever shirt he was wearing; he wouldn’t know that you were reluctant to go without saying goodbye, and that you had asked Winters directly to pass the message along.
To tell Roe that you loved him, and you hoped his exam went well; to tell him that you would see him soon enough, but duty had called, and you couldn’t push it back. 
Roe didn’t know that that hug would be the last time he would feel you in his arms, smell your cologne, feel your hands and your soft breathing; he didn’t know that that would be the last time for three weeks.
He didn’t know he wouldn’t see you until the next month.

eugene roe x best friend + medic! reader hcs
Tumblr media
word count: 900+
warnings: mentions of war (obv) but overall fluffy happy stuff :)
notes: this is really self-indulgent but i hope y'all enjoy it too
first of all, i feel like you're the only person that eugene would ever call by their nickname (at least before babe)
his nickname(s) for you would probably be based off your name or where you're from (if you're not also from louisiana), like “bluebonnet” for texas
your nickname(s) for him would be gene, bayou, or my favorite: genie
when you call him by his real name, that's how you know it's a serious matter
someone would ask: “why do you call doc roe genie?”
“‘cause he makes your wishes come true when he treats you”
if you're from louisiana, then that’s how you know him; otherwise, you guys met in the army, or thru my personal hc: you went to nursing school in louisiana and met him in a town there before the war started
being friends with eugene means that you’re either an extrovert or actually an introvert who is less soft-spoken than eugene and is therefore the more outgoing one between the two of you (bc someone has to be the talker and it's not going to be him)
when he gets mad at you (usually coming from a place of concern, like you were being too risky saving someone…or you didn't eat), he cusses at you/reprimands you in french, and if you don’t know french, then you’re just hearing angry french noises
will give you chocolate bars, a listening ear, and words of advice when you're feeling down (bc his love language is acts of service and quality time)
you’re there to calm him down whenever all his bottled up emotions are too much to suppress any further and he blows up, like with winters and welsh or when he returns from bastogne
you let him know that what he’s feeling is entirely valid and shouldn’t be swallowed down
he’d definitely go off at/death stare anyone messing with you, and you'd do the same for him (but everyone in the company loves y'all so i don't see this happening)
you’re the one who encourages him to talk to easy company’s men, because you know that you could lose them but you’re friends with them anyway and you want him to get close to them too
when eugene’s smiling, you’re smiling because you just want to see him happy
actually, he smiles the most around you, even if it's the fleeting kind
you, as you snuff out the cigarette he was smoking: “how do you smoke and you're a medic? that stuff kills you”
cue eugene hitting you with a slightly annoyed look (he does that a lot) (with love ofc)
when he comes back from the town of bastogne for the first time, you like to tease him about meeting renée
“someone finally understood your gibberish!” or “bayou, why does your face look red? usually you look sickly and pale”
bc that boy looks like a ghost in the ardennes
you’re cheerful when he makes a friend in babe heffron, because until then eugene was only sticking by you
during off-duty times where no one's actively in danger, the two of you are inseparable; where one goes the other is not far, and that goes for anywhere the company takes you
you guys shared a foxhole in bastogne before dike told you two to split up so the company didn’t lose two medics with one shelling
but before that you would huddle up with him for warmth, your head on his shoulder and his head resting on your head
sibling bond fr
from a distance, he smiles as he watches you interact and laugh with the easy guys until you pull him in so he could be part of the camaraderie too
when someone yells medic, one of you goes and the other stays if someone else gets hurt for max efficiency
when the two of you do work together, it's like you guys are in sync, hardly needing to use words to communicate what the other needs to do
you like to mess up his already spiky hair
you can tell when he’s feeling despondent, so you just sit there with him in silence, keeping him company with a few jokes or random stories here and there to get his mind off of things, seeing as he's not really one to vent
if you like someone in the company, trust that eugene is scrutinizing them, making sure that they’re a good match for you and that they’re going to treat you right
he’ll also warn you that having a crush in the military or being in a relationship during war could be dangerous; he has your best interests at heart, but you have to tell him that you know what you're getting into
he WILL tease you a little bit though
“want me to go injure (your crush’s name) so you can treat him?”
cue you smacking him with a “gene!”
he’s protective over you; he’ll stand slightly in front of you when shit starts going down, and if you’re close enough, he’ll check that you're okay first before going on to the rest of the men
you best believe that after the war, you guys are still the best of friends and will keep in touch and visit each other, even if your paths diverge
the rapport between fellow medics is unmatched, and that’s especially the case for you two <3
