Summary
Contrary to popular belief, Jake Seresin loves hard and he loves easy. There are a handful of exes who he’s on amicable terms with, who speak nothing but praise even with the realities of the Navy. His friends – non-military for the most part – are constant in his stories, and his leaves are filled with catching up from state to state.
Amongst all of that, Bradley learns, there are five distinct people who take up the significant pieces of Jake’s heart.

Summary
One of the perks of being raised in California is that, maybe, you will have inherited a beach house by the time you are 36. Bradley certainly has, way, way back. The drawbacks, on the other hand, are plenty but it’s not what Bradley is thinking about right now - not when Jake is visibly hurt.
“You know, if you wanted five minutes of alone time with me, you could’ve just asked. Didn't have to step on glass.”

“You don’t have to,” Bradley says.
Jake looks at him like he’s just said something particularly stupid. “I know.”
or; all the quiet in-betweens; moments and habits and the unspoken thing between them.

Summary
For Bradley, it starts with the accident.
Somehow, he lands the plane, his muscle memory taking over as his mind crashes with Hangman to the ground. The rest of their classmates are standing on the tarmac, a few because they’re worried and most because they’re looking for a show. Bradley doesn’t have time for either.
Or: Hangman gets in an accident while they're still at Top Gun. It changes nothing, except that it kind of does.

Summary
“It’ll be nice,” Bradley says firmly, like he’s just decided, is speaking it into existence. “Being in San Diego again. Maybe I can finally pull my bike out of storage.”
Nat pauses halfway to drowning the last, lukewarm mouthful of her beer.
“Bike like… motorcycle?” she asks.
“No, Nat,” Bradley says dryly. “A tandem. Yeah, like a motorcycle.”
or; five times someone finds out Bradley rides a motorcycle, and one time someone already knew.

Summary
The surviving members of the 101st sit in the chapel as the children's choir sings, sisters walking around to benefit the exhausted and wounded.
All Babe can do for the moment is sit and soak it all in. Watch the choir, observe his fellow men, think about anything and everything.
What he can't do, however, is keep his focus on the present.OR: babe has an epiphany (several of them) about their medic, eugene roe, and thinks he's slick with it. that is, until roe starts to catch him staring from across the chapel.

(Written for the Tumblr prompt: "I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not.")

Summary
When he moved from the southside of Philly to a small town in Louisiana, Babe Heffron knew his life would be different--but he didn't know it would be this different. Between the heat, the hurricanes, and the heaps of mosquitoes, Babe didn't know how the hell he was going to survive in Cajun Country.
OR: “M'dying, Gene,” he wailed. “How the fuck do you live like this?”
The Cajun gave a simple shrug, one that said he clearly thought Babe was overreacting. “You get use' to it.”

Summary
Some idiot is sticking ass-first outta the dumpster.
“No!” The idiot’s friend exclaims, bouncing on his heels as he tries to grab hold of a thrashing, sneaker-capped leg. “Get out of the — get out — this ain’t my job! Do I look like your mother to you?”
I don’t want to know, Gene acknowledges. I don’t need to know. It’s late. I’m tired. I’ve got a shift in twelve hours.
“Everything alright here?” he blurts out, before god-given common sense can talk him out of it.

“For the love of God, come here, would ya? You’re going to get hypothermia.” He lifts the blanket a bit, even though they’re already sharing.
“Are those doctor’s orders?”
(alternatively: babe is freezing and never shuts up. gene finds a peculiar way to deal with it.)

Summary
Between the new and exciting experiences of dorm life and college life in general, Babe hadn’t thought there could be something more surprising than anything those two things have already thrown at him.
Then he runs into Eugene Roe. Literally.
(Or: "things you said after you kissed me")

The days melt into weeks melt into months and, at this rate into years, and Babe's still stuck fighting this damned war.
At least he has Gene - that's the one upside to all of this.

Summary
Babe followed Gene’s gaze as the Cajun glanced skyward, as if to gesture Babe’s platoon, only a floor and a stairwell away. Babe rolled his eyes. Yeah, he knew. He wasn’t an idiot. It was just that— “I don’t fuckin’ care.”
A grin flickered across Gene’s face, briefly. “I know you don’t, cher.”
OR: In Haguenau, Babe's hurtin' and he turns to Doc Roe for a little comfort.

Summary
Eugene doesn’t like the cough. Sure, he doesn’t like much about the current situation- not the gaunt look Winters wears clear as ever, the stumble Captain Nixon takes up in the morning, the way Toye limps from his foxhole with teeth gritted hoping no one will notice- but the cough. He doesn’t like the cough Babe has taken to, a cough that rattles his ribs and makes him wheeze.
