SGB’s comment Wonderful angsty postwar fic. I want to tell you whether it is satisfying or not, but my personal answer to that question is why I love this story so much. So much.

Title: Had My Head in the Over So You’d Know Where I’ll Be
Rating: PG
SGB comment Artful, semi-stream of consciousness piece, snapshotting moments through Snafu’s war and after. Captures that oppressive feeling I had in the days right after watching the Pacific (and most war films) - just stewing in the unfathomableness, trying to wrap one’s head around it, realizing even if you were there you maybe didn’t wrap your head around it

Title: the tide that left (and never came back)
Rating: R
SGB’s comment Snafu POV in-canon. Tentative, angsty, manpainy. almost cute. Of course, there isn’t anything cute about being an infantry Marine in the Pacific, so I hesitate in case of overstating cuteness. A look at what it is about Eugene, and what it is about being in a hellish war that gets Snafu wanting them together. Includes wonderful foxhole closeness.

Title: Dirge for Dress Blues
Rating: PG-13
SGB’s comment Schmoopy postwar cute beginnings of getting together - Snafu shows up at the dance in Mobile.
Title: Never was about you
Rating: R-ish
from this prompt: Despite his harsh exterior Snafu can't help but be tender with Sledge.
SGB’s comment Snafu POV - how he falls for Sledge during the Pacific
Title: Just enough
Rating: PG-13
SGB’s comment Postwar hurty get together awesomeness.
Title: All kinds of time
Rating: PG-13
SGB’s comment Another where you might think you’re scraping the internet’s outer edges desperate for more Snafu/Sledge. It IS that if that’s what you are doing, but it’s also Snafu talking with Doc Roe from Band of Brothers, which is great, really, cause, oh ROE that’s a whole other kink…anyway….

Series Title: Notes From My Inner Pocket
Rating: PG-13
SGB’s comment This is really not slash without squinting about as hard as you can, but it is really well-written Sledge POV war angst and at minimum touches on his bromance with Snafu. Honest - read this. It reminds you how elements of the Pacific canon are so hurty, so good.

SGB comment: Sledge/Snafu/Bergin PWP. Oh, it's just fun.

Series Title: All the Things We Care About
Rating: R
SGB’s comment A great in-canon fic that tosses back and forth POV between Sledge and Snafu. Truly delightful. Spot-on characterizations.
Part 1: Why it would never last for eternity (Snafu POV)
It starts on the way back to Pavuvu…
Part 2: How Whisperings Engrave the Skin (Sledge POV)
My personal favorite part of the 4 parts. Sledge develops this “game of touches” with Snafu, as partial distraction as they cope with having lived through Peleliu, but also with great elements of the danger and need in Snafu. Yummy.
Part 3: What We Will Remember (Snafu POV)
Hotness and angst. Puts the “oh!” into Okinawa. Yeah, I said it. So slap me.
Part 4: The heartbeats we left behind beneath the ocean (Sledge POV)
Sex and love and war and angst. What else are you looking for?

Title: A for Effort
SGB’s comment OK, so this on is the tiniest bit a crossover with Generation Kill, but it’s seriously 99.9% PWP. Honestly the setting, the briefly mentioned GK characters don’t matter…so, yeah, I’m breaking my “non-AU” only rule, but if you don’t know GK you’ll never know, and if you do, just close your eyes and watch the Sledge/Snafu hotness…you’ll never care.

Title: All Darkness and Silence.
Rating; Adult
SGB’s comment: This lovely slice or so of time is a fine little package of the intensely visceral angst of war and a Sledge/Snafu-style remedy for that.
Author: skylilies
Title: When We Were Lions
Rating: G
SGB’s comment Snafu’s hopeless head postwar.
Title: World Looks Bent Like I’ve Got Shotglass Eyes
Rating: PG
SGB’s comment Foxhole closeness ficlet
Title: Made Me Homesick
Rating: PG
SGB’s comment Foxhole closeness ficlet, companion piece to “World Looks Bent Like I’ve Got Shotglass Eyes." Lovely work.
Title: Ain’t Dead Yet
Rating: PG-13
SGB’s comment Moody postwar traumatized Sledge/Snafu fic. Descriptions of Snafu’s behavior are particularly compelling/odd/correct/keysmash and I just wanted to wrap up Sledge in a blankie and pet him.
Author: slattern
Title: Leave Your Mark
SGB comment: [this comment interrupted by eyes rolling back into my head from *UNF* hotness]
Author: softshinythings
Title: We Look Younger Than We Feel (And Older Than We Are)
Rating: PG13
SGB’s comment This is Part 3 of her War’s End ‘verse, which is Ack-Ack/Hillbilly (and delightful at that - really really), but this particular part includes a Sledge/Snafu plot that is fairly well attended to. In this Sledge/Snafu-starved world, you take every scrap you find.

SGB’s comment My 5 part in-canon take on the epic love and naughtiness of Sledge/Snafu
Title: Let the Fires Bathe Us
Rating: NC-17
SGB’s comment On Pavuvu between battles, Sledge processes his anger and Snafu helps. ***Only M/F/M Threesome I know of in Sledge/Snafu, but the price of admission to that kink here is enduring the noncon I also included. Sorry...so much is probably wrong with me...***

Rating: PG
Author: Spirograph
SGB’s general comment on Spirograph: This author’s fics seem to be locked, at least through LJ, but easy enough to get access to and worth the 2 seconds it takes to join. Spirograph’s works are intense.
Title: I Say Fever
Rating NC-17
SGB’s comment Oneshot battlefield need/want/release of tension. Snafu (“smoked his weight in cigarettes”) is so dead on. You feel Sledge’s raw want in your bones. BEST CHARACTER+PORNY LINE EVER: “Sledge has never been much for swearing, but from Snafu's mouth it sounds like poetry and his whole body sings at the sound of it.” ***Possibly MY ACTUAL FAVORITE Sledge/Snafu fic***
Title: Hey That’s No Way to Say Goodbye
Rating: NC-17
SGB’s comment Crossdressing fun.
Title: The Trick is to Keep Breathing
Rating: NC-17
SGB’s comment Wonderful oneshot in-canon battlefield get together fic.
Title: Pipe
Rating: R
SGB’s comment Snafu gets a kink for Sledge’s pipe.
Title: Falling, Catching
Rating: PG-13/R
SGB comment: Hurty, beautifully written postwar exploration of life in Sledge’s head when Snafu shows up at his house and stays a while
Author: teaspoonery
Title: Heed our imperfect hearts
Rating: NC-17
SGB’s comment Another take on what their ‘ship was in-canon. Awesome angst. Really a lot of well written porn, too; meaning, the writing is good AND the porn is hot, not merely well-described, which often is more than enough for me. Kind of perfect, really.
Title: bring on the silence
Rating: PG-13
SGB’s comment Ouchy postwar fic.
Author: thedrunkmonk
Title: untitled drabble
PG-13/R
SGB comment: Postwar sigh-worthy drabble. And I love the author’s note: “these two I hate these two”
Author: thoracopagus
Title: all these young men also posted as “these young lions”)
Rating: R
SGB’s comment Beautiful stream-of-consciousness, daring as hell Snafu POV get-together in-canon fic. Some of the most poetic prose in Sledge/Snafu fandom, if not THE MOST.

Title: Standing on the Edge of Summer
Rating: PG-13
SGB’s comment Ambiguously slash, maybe more bromance but you can decide. Lovely postwar war-angst Sledge POV. Great point is made about how thirsty Peleliu was vs. how overflowing in water Okinawa was
Author: zarimav
Title: Sigh no more, no more, one foot on sea, one on shore
Rating: PG
SGB comment: After reading this delight, this well-packaged tour through the dangerous attraction Snafu was for Sledge, arcing into postwar but staying in the Pacific timeline (think "dance in Mobile"), I fantasize I will make a little "brain explode" icon. This icon would be applied to this and all the other fics that were an author coping with the miniseries and the compelling pain of the pairing, in hopes of processing the brain explosion some, then moving on with life (perhaps also reading all fics available, twice, or so). (Of course I also need a little foxhole icon for all the foxhole antics stories.) (I will probably never make icons to decorate an entry).
Multi-author “Roadverse” explained here

Anon authors from kink memes
Some above started here in the memes but were claimed by their authors so I put them up there with their authors. Here are the ones remaining unclaimed, and largely I am just reposting the prompts and the title of the response, and sometimes the rating.
Title: Moron
Prompt: Eugene catches Snafu's eye and he doesn't even know it.
PG
Title: Some kind of Comfort
Prompt: [Snafu] likes watching Sledge sweat, but he likes making him sweat even more.
Title: A Favor
PG-13
Prompt: Snafu feels victorious at making Sledge angry and expects that this will finally be the day the redhead slugs him, but the feeling of triumph is short lived when Eugene gives him a deep kiss instead.
Title: Mistakes
NC-17
Prompt: Orgasm denial: Sledge makes the mistake of calling out Sid's name during sex and Snafu won't let him come until all he can think of is him.
Title: Sleep
Prompt: Sledge/Snafu-during Okinawa, Sledge and Snafu try to keep each other sane amid the horror.
Rating: PG
Title: Slow Stroke
Prompt: Jealous!Sledge/Snafu. Sledge thinks that Snafu has shown too much interest in Hamm. This leads to conflict, which leads to angry makeout, which leads to sex- not necessarily rough, more like "lay down the law" sex wherein Snafu wholeheartedly assures Sledge that he only has eyes for him.
R/NC-17
SGB comment: Foxhole fun!
Title: Home
Prompt: Snafu taking care of Sledge in an apartment after the war. H/C.
PG
Untitled
Prompt: Sledge/Phillips/Snafu, Sid does whatever he can (including breaking his marriage vows) to help his best friend with his nightmares but realizes that what Eugene really needs a friendly phone call from a certain Cajun. Bonus points if Sid admits how jealous he was that Snafu can make Gene better.

NC-17
Title: testing, testing, 123

Postwar, Sledge shows up in New Orleans one day. This story follows that first day or so. Snafu POV
Untitled
Prompt, paraphrased: Sledge/Snafu first time, control and roughness requested
SGB comment: Foxhole PWP.
Untitled
Prompt: Sledge is hurt, he makes it through, but he's pretty seriously injured. I'd love to see Snafu's reaction and how he takes care of him.
***Unique!! Yeah, OK, this is really pushing boundaries of being canon...***
If Your Strife Strikes At Your Sleep
Prompt: At the very end of part 10, the bit where Sledge is laying in the field? I want something where Snafu showed up, wooed the family-- re-wooed Sledge and apologized for leaving him. And just sexy, schoopy times. I don't mind an angsty bit, but I'd like a happy ending.
SGB comment Honestly some of the schmoopiest postwar schmoomp…with porn!
Untitled
Prompt: Anyone/anyone. Nothing says good morning like shower sex.
Sledge/Sid and Sledge/Snafu
