This is really, really, really good. I've read it over twice and as I go I keep thinking "this is my favorite part, no wait, this one..." Part 1: Classic Frank and Margaret. You've really got them perfectly here. Part 2: This is so cute. I love Hawkeye's simple answer, Radar's incredulous response. And love Radar asking if they really mean he can stop by anytime. So simple, but so perfect. Part 3: I love BJ's calm response of "that was my sock" and Hawkeye's anger fading into nothing. BJ ignoring the empty feeling when Hawkeye says the guy's going home - calm acceptance vs. red hot anger... Part 4: Poor Mulcahy. Again, such great characterization. His quiet acceptance of everything. Part 5: This one I had to read over again. Just left me speechless. Part 6: Hawkeye's comment about "even Henry's figured it out" but Trapper saying to let Frank have his delusions, as he goes off to his own delusions. Such an irony - teasing Frank about adultery on his way to puruse it himself. Part 7: I love Klinger's reaction when getting back - you wouldn't kill a hero. so very Klinger. And so very Potter. Part 8: I love the beginning and the ending - the play on the word honor, and the scotch being enough. Part 9: Just so very very true. Considering how honest and blunt BJ can be in helping people out, it's amazing how hard a time he sometimes has taking it, especially in regards to his family. Part 10: I love this. I love how you could put so many different faces to that doctor, the anonymity of it.
