    Summary

    1947 Louisiana, June. Eugene has been home for several months, enough time to find a job, a sweetheart, and move on with his life. Instead, he's taking steps backward. Dreams grow more vivid every night, and so he deliberately avoids sleep. He drinks through dinner and well into the night. Not because he likes it—it's the worst thing to grace his tongue—but because if he's going to get some rest, he doesn't want to remember anything about it. His family is worried out of their mind until a Philly boy with rusty hair and a stubborn streak comes into their life.

    Summary

    The surviving members of the 101st sit in the chapel as the children's choir sings, sisters walking around to benefit the exhausted and wounded.
    All Babe can do for the moment is sit and soak it all in. Watch the choir, observe his fellow men, think about anything and everything.
    What he can't do, however, is keep his focus on the present.

    OR: babe has an epiphany (several of them) about their medic, eugene roe, and thinks he's slick with it. that is, until roe starts to catch him staring from across the chapel.

    Summary

    “The fuck? What are you doing here?”

    “I am wondering same thing about you.”

    You’re wondering—you’re in Shane’s—what the hell is going on?”

    “Close the door, please. Is cold.”

    Shane gives Hayden the go-ahead to grab a package from his house—but Ilya flew in a day early as a surprise.

    Oops.

    An alternate Hayden-finds-out story set the winter after The Cottage.
