I'm sorry I didn't see that this had been finished. Imagine my happiness when I found this though.
Another great installment, you have such a beautiful control of words, you create a scene or a feeling or a person as if it's visual. You make it visual. I especailly loved this, which kept me in mind of other snippets I particularly enjoyed throghout the story:
BJ sometimes dreamed of a long-fingered surgeon sewing him up from stem to stern, stitching, folding, stitching, stretching BJ’s skin tight as a drum as more and more of BJ—navel, chest hair, love handles, flat copper nipples—was folded over and sewn inside of him. Neatly and professionally the long-fingered, black-haired surgeon rolled up his penis like a sock and tucked it inside a pocket in his flesh. The scrotum twisted, folded and carefully stowed. The long-fingered black-haired blue-eyed surgeon closed the seams and BJ lay there, anesthetized but awake, a featureless, genderless doll and the doctor kept stitching, stitching.
It's so horrific, but so in lieu of Korea and the war and the almost out-of-body experience, whether it was seeing the death or feeling like they were dying themselves, trying to salvage who they were and who they have to keep them sane. In this case B.J had Hawkeye and I can imagine how hard it would have been to need Hawkeye but be afraid of him at the same time.
Other particular parts I really liked were: not so much a kiss as an almost frantic pressing of flesh together, as if through that B.J could communicate how much he wished things were different. To me, that is just so B.J. He wants to please and he wants to know how but he can't. This:There was something that was not entirely sexual but nice nonetheless that coiled in the pit of his stomach when he watched Hawkeye which speaks for itself. There love was so ... all encompassing. Finally, loved the part where Hawkeye says "It doesn't matter that you love Peg" because. Just. Yes. You're absolutely right.
Thank you for such a great series, and for ending this on the perfect note. It's so true, which stays in tune with the show. Congratulations on finishing, that's a gret acheivement.
