M*A*S*H Slash

Title: Visions of the Dawn

Synopsis: Post-war. After an experimental surgery to fix his hearing, Francis Mulcahy is unsure the path to talk. He reconnects with old friends. The meeting changes the path he intended on taking. A set of ten linked drabbles.

Characters: Francis Mulcahy, Sidney Freedman, Hartley Rathaway (OMC)

Pairing: Sidney Freedman/Francis Mulcahy

Word Count: 1000

Date Started: June 16, 2010 Date Completed: June 21, 2010

Rating: PG-13

Authors Notes: Written for the mash_slash's 'First Day of Summer' challenge, #6, the iPod shuffle. This probably needs more backstory, but even though I'd done the research, I could never get it to come out in a way that didn't seem contrived... so for the purpose of this, we're going to just go over the backstory here in the author's notes.

Basically, Father Mulcahy has been laicized. I'm probably not right about this, but being deaf is an impediment for the Priesthood (meaning he could never join the Priesthood in the first place if he was born deaf) and that'd be a reason for him to be granted a laicization. He's probably also requested a dispensation from his vow of celibacy.

Sidney Freedman is divorced. And that's the backstory.

Hartley Rathaway is an original character in the M*A*S*H universe, but he's a transplant of the Pied Piper from the DC Universe. He's a master of sound technology, so I thought he'd be fun to add in as the doctor here. I only added this note in case there were fellow DC fans who know him and would call me out on my OMC. :D

Author’s Notes: Written for the 24 Hour Challenge prompt on the mash-slash yahoo! group. The prompt was “Song or Dance”. This was what sprang in my head when I read the prompt, and I figured someone would want to read it. ^_^

One of these days, I’ll write a proper slash story for this comm! :D
