The late afternoon sun slanted through the windows of the house she grew up in. Maggie McIntyre woke up after a nap: her day had been longer than any shift she'd pulled during her Residency, and she still felt tired. The room still looked the same as it did when she moved away from home to college: a girl's room with lace lampshades and curtains, a ruffle ar...
The Avenger known as Hawkeye executed a double somersault with a half twist, firing twice, vaulting from the wreckage of what had been a spinning flail arm and landing lightly on the balls of his feet, rolling sideways as the electrical pulse bolts from a wall gun-mount seared the space where he had landed. As he regained his feet, he spun, looking for the n...
It was an unusually hot day for Mill Valley; the temperature was well over 90 and looked to stay that way for several days. Maggie McIntyre was sitting on the back porch in a wicker chair wearing a pair of cutoffs and a white halter top, her bare feet propped on the railing, sipping a martini. B. J. Hunnicutt sat by the door in his wheelchair, sipping a mart...
A full moon hung over the Maine coast, turning the landscape electric blue and adding an eerie quality to the whitecaps of the incoming tide. Maggie McIntyre, perfect in her green suit and light blue blouse, leaned against the ICU window, gazing at the night. Her grandmother, Margaret Houlihan Pierce sat next to the bed where Hawkeye lay motionless. Occasion...
(Author's note: this is a sequel to the TV series, particularly the episode "Comrades in Arms". I'm not claiming this is how Hawkeye and Hot Lips's relationship HAD to be after they got home, but a possibility. Incidentally, this would be a Romance more than anything else, so be advised.) It was a placid day in the Maine coast: a calm April Wednesday with...
"Colonel Blake you are forcing me to go over your head!" Margaret Houlihan protested loudly. She was standing in the Colonel's tent alongside Captain Frank Burns. "Listen Margaret, you've been over my head so many times I've got boot prints," the Cononel retorted exasperated. Without missing a beat she sneered back. "I wouldn't have to if you weren't so in...
There are plenty of attractive people throughout the country of Amestris. There's the automail mechanic Winry Rockbell, the housewife Izumi Curtis, and the deadly sniper Riza Hawkeye to name a few. There are of course a number of attractive men as well. The flame alchemist Colonel Mustang, the crown prince Ling Yao, perhaps even the Fullmetal Alchemist himse...
They say 'War is Hell.' They ain't lyin' brother! I'm Steve Fairfield and I'm in the US Army. Like a lot of guys I went to High School with, I ended up here in Korea. A lot of them were drafted. I signed up for a hitch in the Army. I had nothing else to do. It was work in a factory back home, or join the Army, and the factory didn't pay well. Having no rea...
It was 0500 hours, the day was cold and there was snow on the ground at the 4077th. Because of the cold, Cpl. Randall "Radar" O'Reilly, Company Clerk, hurried on his way to the Duty Hut. As he passed the Nurses Quarters, he noted steam coming from the shower tent, and he could hear Capt. Hoolihan singing as she showered. Radar stopped, listening for awhile,...
Jack Scully pulled up in front of Margaret Houlihan's tent and laid on the horn. "Shake a leg, Hot Lips!" he yelled, "I don't want to waste another minute of this twenty-four hour pass!" "Listen, Sargent, Scully." Margaret began, her voice filled with eagerness. "It's back to Private." Jack corrected. Margaret shot Jack a disgusted look. "Back to Private...
