Candy Hearts author reveals were today! I wrote MASH friendship fluff/light h/c. It's not too long, so I figured I'll cross-post it here as well.

This was also kind of loosely inspired by a prompt from the 3 Sentence Ficathon, any, any, I saved this for you, because I was browsing the prompt lists around the same time looking for something that would jump out and suggest a fic to me, and my brain latched onto that one as something my recipient might like.

In Good Company (MASH, 1075 wds, team gen, late seasons)
Hawkeye gets to the mess late because of delays in post-op, but his friends are looking out for him.
Also posted on AO3. AO3 tags: "Food As A Metaphor For Love"

( In Good Company )

Once again purveying completely hinged AUs to the fanfic-reading public. scioscribe elegantly supplied an amazing idea for Charles's shift form which is basically the reason why the second half of this exists.

any, any, bone fracture

( Charles & Hawkeye, light h/c )

I wrote a few things lately that I haven't posted about here:

Every Silver Lining (Biggles, gen, 3200 wds)
For an absolutely delightful prompt in H/C Fest (full prompt inside). Biggles & Co. are recuperating at a small local clinic after a mission. And they're not the only ones.

So this was written for H/C Fest and unfortunately the timing on it meant that it dropped into the flurry of Yuletide and other anonymous holiday fic and vanished. (It just de-anoned today.) But the prompt was absolute catnip. The prompter wrote:

You've heard of "there was only one bed" & "Canadian shack", now get ready for... "there was only one medic" & "local clinic"!

Biggles & Co. end up at a small local clinic to recuperate from a mission. Unfortunately there's nowhere else to go in the area for medical care, and they're not the only ones who got a bit walloped. This is just a pure indulgent festival of iddy hurt/comfort, and I had a great time with it.

I also wrote a couple of Charles-and-Hawkeye-centric MASH episode tags last month:

• Perfect Fit (for 6x23 "Dr. Winchester and Mr. Hyde")
• Commiseration (for 9x20 "The Life You Save")

Both are a couple thousand words and gen (well, more gennish in the case of the last one), for episodes that needed more "c" to go with their "h".

Another thing I failed to post about: I did an informal fic exchange for Christmas with ysande, and I mentioned the thing I wrote, but not the thing I received!

Ysande's gift for me is Already Given (Biggles, gen, 5K), an absolutely LOVELY Christmas fic with an injured von Stalhein failing to realize that he can have home and safety and sanctuary at the Mount Street flat, but getting it anyway. ♥ ♥ ♥ I enjoyed it thoroughly and recommend it wholeheartedly.

I hope we'll get more than fandom things to be happy about in 2025, but starting off with a bouquet of fanfic is not the worst way to launch a new year.
