Ugh YES to so much of this. I wanted something that explained the way you see Hawk and Trap flirting and winding people up. In one episode I watched a woman kisses Hawk when he has his eyes covered and he says 'Trapper I told you to keep away' or something to that effect, and I really wanted to get something that pursued that casual flirtation and intimacy, but without making it sexual because I didn't see it like that for them.
The show gives me the impression that they're very close, but I don't feel like they're sleeping together. I wanted something that still appeared as if it could fit with canon.
As for the second-person perspective, it honestly just HAPPENED. I was writing it and then out of nowhere it was 'you' as in Hawkeye and I was like 'Oh right. Okay then' and just ran with it. As I've said above, MASH seems to bring out a lyrical streak in me.
Truth be told, dreamingjewel's icon has given me a big welping plot bunny about what if Hawkeye was bi, which I think he plausibly could be, and how that would play out realistically. For me, it wouldn't involve relationships with Trapper or BJ, but more casual affairs as he has with women, only with a select few guys who come through and he pegs out as gay/bi. (It's like, 6k long already or something and isn't even done. Also oh god it's smuuuuuuttty as heck.)
