This is exactly what I was waiting for, the missing puzzle piece. I had the sneaking suspicion that Snafu wouldn't just let Babe in (we all know what he's like), so to see him call on Burgin for some help and good advice is sheer genius. Absolutely loved it, bb. Oh, and the other ficlet is pretty amazing as well
I am very glad you enjoyed it! And yes, Snafu, as protective and contrary as he is, would not just let Babe into the fold. Everyone needs a Burgin in their life for some good advice.
ahhh rereading (again) and i love these so much ♥ seriously, will never get enough of lena and her badassness in every and all time periods. and burgin as that bigger brother figure keeping snafu from being too ridiculous. and roe having dating encino man lmfao i still cry at this
“He looks like Sledge,” Merriell muttered.
“You and Roe are so fucked up,” Burgin said.
AND THIS. STILL. really, those boys, lmfao. /cries i left my coherency with my brain on a shelf somewhere and forgot it, i think
Lena seriously needs to be like, a highlander. Or something.
(And again I ask, who better to represent your typical frat boy than Encino Man? Clearly Gene Roe should not be allowed to pick partners and just let everyone else do it for him.)
Roe and Snafu are so fucked up and tied together it really is sad.
Runner Conley was the type of kid who couldn’t help his natural smart ass look. It was something about the tilt of his lips. The kid would catch hell for that in later years. If he managed to survive that long.
shan. i have no words. please accept this drawing instead:
I want ALL the ficlets of Chuckler's lifetime/s. Esp if Runner's gonna be ribbing him about it (and you know I have a thing for pre-established relationships)
I will have to write a few ficlets of Team Really Old Folks (i.e. Chuckler, Lena, and Hillbilly, those who age slowly) but yes, I figure the longer Runner and Chuckler know each other, the more tiny bits and pieces of Chuckler's past life he's going to sort out. Even more so, once he moves into Chuckler's house and finds, like, the WWI and WWII era letters from his sweethearts for example.
Okay, okay my love for Burgie remains as strong as ever. And that he's the one Snafu turns to for his Roe-related concerns because lord knows Snafu has a lot of those (CRAIG, Roe, CRAIG. What were you thinking. Man may be sweet but it's sweet in the way a particularly stupid dog is sweet. And he's more than likely to pass blame and bad decision on down the relationship liiiiine)
Protective Snafu is one of my favorite Snafus. Forever.
And again, I ask, who better to represent the typical frat boy a la Gene's frat boy phase than our dear friend Craig? Seriously, Gene Roe should not be allowed to do these things on his own or without supervision or the meddeling hands of Merl-Francis or Renee, or really, but long distance, Bill and Speirs. (I like to think there is a long running joke about Gene Roe's poor taste in partners and how he cannot be allowed to do any of it on his own.)
I love protective Snafu.
Runner is also adorbs. Everyone needs more Runner. And more Burgin.
omg i love how snafu goes around passive aggressively talking to other people about babe because when it really matters, snafu is careful to reign in his wicked tongue. i think that's perfectly characterized. <3
We shall see the birthday party in a future fic, yes.
Snafu is all about protecting his own, and even if he wants to, he won't fuck something good up for someone else if he thinks it might be right. I just love the layers of Snafu's character in general and seriously, bb, your fic is one of the first I can recall that honestly delved deeper into the characters of both Sledge and Snafu.
