Summary
“Is it your first class too?”
“Nah Gene, I’m teaching this bitch!”
In an effort to save Gene from burnout, his friend and fellow medical resident signs him up for weekly lindy hop dance classes. He doesn't expect his instructor to be Babe Heffron.
Babe was, in Eugene’s estimation, somewhere among the top three acquaintances whose health and safety he was most concerned with at any given time. He had absolutely no idea that Babe partook in swing dancing, let alone how he’s been granted a position of authority on the subject.
This is an unoficial baberoe spin off of bingomanifesto's excellent series, A Kinder Fate.

Summary
So it went, as summer ripened in full and began to give way to fall, or the closest thing the bayou could offer. Eugene’s eyes were faraway in church, farther still whenever a well-meaning friend showed up at the door to ask him how he’d liked Europe, how glad he was to be back. He flinched when a neighbor fired off a shot at a duck or a gator and woke up in harsh, grating sobs that Maud could hear through the wall in the night, that she thought might break her heart in two.
And then, one day, he stepped through the door at dinner time, and he wasn’t alone.
——
Or, Eugene’s mother tries to reacquaint herself with her son and anything that could help him heal—which might just include Babe Heffron.

Bookmarker's Notes
I watched Band of Brothers in order to read this fic and it remains an ALL TIME GREAT.

Summary
None of it happened on purpose. None of it was supposed to happen.
For Babe and Gene, going to war involves a lot more finding home than either of them had expected. It's not quite that simple, of course, because nothing in war ever is, but it's closer than you might think.
*can be read as a stand-alone*
