Seeking: H/* where they get caught

[aura218.livejournal.com]

Hi, group

I've been reading a lot of fic and so far, in every story everyone keeps their gay liasons safely under wraps. Which is cool, no section 8's, etc. But I'm wondering:

Is there any fic where Hawkeye/someone get caught as a couple, or in flagrante delicto? I'll also take Radar/Klinger. Or, hell, anyone if it's well written.

Thanks, all!

Hey, btw, don't forget, there's open episode discussion threads over at 4077th_watch. No, I'm not pimping, I just hang out there and there's no one to talk to! I'm lonely!

Hmm. I can't say I know of any fics where they get caught in flagrante, but I do know of a couple where people figure it out (usually Sidney and Radar) and one or two post-war fics that deal with 1950s attitudes to homosexuality. I can dig the links out for you if you'd like?

[aura218.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the themes I'm looking for. Reactions, historic context, etc. Those sound great, I'd really appreciate it. :D

No worries, gives me an excuse to go back and reread them XD Here you go:

I May Know the Word (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mash-slash/message/1047) - Radar sees a little more than most people do.
Yellow Blackbirds and Cuckoos (http://community.livejournal.com/mash_slash/193550.html) - Multi-part, post-war. Hawkeye's institutionalized (unfinished?).
Sleeping Beauty (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mash-slash/message/3855) - Sidney makes an educated guess about Hawkeye and Trapper.
Make Room for Me (http://www.demando.net/mash/makeroom.html) - Radar finds out about Hawk and BJ, and is jealous.
In Case of Emergency (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1230491/1/In_Case_of_Emergency) - BJ confesses to Sidney, sort of.
What You See From Where You're Standing (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1267951/1/What_You_See_From_Where_Youre_Standing) - Potter finds out.
Twenty Years Gone (http://perpet-fic.livejournal.com/185017.html) - Multi-chapter post-war. Peg finds out.
Offer Up Your Last Defense (http://www.demando.net/mash/defense.html) - Post-war. Erin Hunnicutt comes out to her father.
Heaven From Here (http://community.livejournal.com/mash_slash/78562.html) - Multi-chapter, post-war fic. Chapter 3 deals closely with social attitudes.
Everyone's a Stranger (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1592566/1/Everyones_a_Stranger) - George comes back to the 4077th, unsettling BJ.

I also vaguely remember one where Hawk and BJ get together but Hawkeye's unable to stay 'in the closet' as it were and gets attacked or something. Unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. If I find it I'll let you know. Enjoy!

Omg I love you. You're like a reference librarian for fanfic. How would you like a low paying job and a tweed skirt? Failing that, a date?

[underthenameof.livejournal.com]

LOL I've been called a dictionary before, but never a librarian. I'm moving up in the world! XD

Somewhere in Lspace, there are ROOMS of you.

So, what do you say? You, me, Bach on the hifi, this bottle of reddish "wine"? Meet you in the supply tent at 1600.

[underthenameof.livejournal.com]

Who could resist an offer like that? I'll be there with bells on XD

o o I have one to share with you. Macadamanity's tags (http://macadamanaity.livejournal.com/?tag=m*a*s*h) has a bunch of good ones, but "Speak Its Name" (http://macadamanaity.livejournal.com/55008.html#cutid1) has been haunting me all day since I read it last night. set in late 60s/early 70s, Sydney is making a crusade to get homosexuality out of the DSM. BJ meets him at a conference and there's... Talking. ahem. It's fabulously well researched, thoughtful, insightful, pure brilliance.

::blushes horrifically::

Thank you for the rec!

[underthenameof.livejournal.com]

Ooh, thanks. I hadn't read that one ^_^

[aura218.livejournal.com]

Welc. :D

Ok, I've been sitting on this fic b/c it's not slash and I haven't found any other nonslash comms to talk to people in. But I just have to share it. It's a mostly gen, Buffy x-over, you don't have to know much of the series to enjoy the fic. After the bufffy series, 70+ yo "Dr. Hawk" is living next door to Xander and a bunch of slayers. He sort of gets recruited as a slayer medic. it's told in a series of something like 30 drabbles, 100-150 words, so it moves really fast but packs a ton in each word. It's like a whole season of a tv series stripped down to the bare necesities.

Anyway, you prolly want the link: Shoveling (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5187270/1/Shoveling).

[underthenameof.livejournal.com]

Wow, you're right - it does pack quite a bit in in only a few words. Not exactly two shows I would have thought to put together, but it's well done. Thanks (again) for the link!

[aura218.livejournal.com]

Wow, you read the whole thing already? It was dawn when i got halfway through it, tho it was pretty late when I started...

Buffy fandom is really good with the 100 word fic. Those girls did a lot of drabbles and things like the "dead letter challenge" and "5 things that didn't happen to..." ficathon, and they Maintained Standards. So if it's high concept and a Buffy writer, I give it a looksee.

Were you disappointed at the end? I wanted more. I wanted a second season. :D

[underthenameof.livejournal.com]

LOL no I only got half way yesterday before I had to stop, I just thought it was an great concept.

I've only seen up to season 5 of Buffy so I haven't really ventured into the fandom much so far. I love "5 things..." fics when they're well done, though - I'll have to check it out when I finally finish the series :D

[macadamanaity.livejournal.com]

Wow, thanks for reminding me of so many of my favourites!

[aura218.livejournal.com]

I put this before the group: I've got a bunch of mash slash plot bunnies in my head but no time to write them (have many other projects going at the mo, plus job etc). In this comm, is it kosher to post them as a "plot donation" sort of post?

If not, maybe a link back to my own journal?

Thanks!

[underthenameof.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, lol. Thank you for the many great fics you've written (OMG M*A*S*H/Dr. Who crossover!) XD
