Summary
This is hell, Hawkeye is sure of it. Korea was already hell, and now he’s in double hell, some deep, dark, depraved layer that not even Dante had made it to. Because it’s one thing to commiserate with a buddy over an assignation gone awry, but it’s quite another for that buddy to be asking whether he’s jerked off recently, especially if said buddy is frustratingly attractive enough to maybe star in the related mental material -- if a person were depraved enough to do that sort of thing.

Summary
Because he’s not blind -- he knows Hawkeye isn’t nearly as straight-laced (in either sense) as the army would like, but the memory of Hawkeye’s former bunkmate (and whatever else he’d been) lingers in the space between them.

Summary
In the dim lamp light, olive drab looks a lot like hunter green. Or maybe it’s the other way around, like Carlye had taken all the color with her and left him with nothing but khaki.

Summary
“Come on, Beej,” Hawkeye wheedles, already resetting the chessboard. “One more round. It’s no fair to win big and split.”
It’s late, and they’re both due in surgery in the morning. Earlier if Hawkeye’s bad luck holds out. Frank’s busy pretending to be a doctor in Post Op and most of the camp is asleep, which would be a fine idea if the thought of joining them didn’t turn Hawkeye’s palms into Niagara Falls.

Summary
Hawkeye’s voice drifts through the stillness of the tent in the dark, sharp, but with a brittle edge. “I don’t regret it.”

Summary
That’s different, Hawkeye doesn’t say. Is it really? How can Hawkeye tell Aggie to lay off when he doesn’t, when he spends as much time as he can curled up beside BJ in a too-small bunk, stealing kisses between tents, letting hands wander under mess tent tables.
What the hell makes Hawkeye so special?

Summary
“I know,” BJ says. There’s a desperate crack in his voice, and Hawkeye wishes he know how to soothe it away, to smooth out the rough edges left behind when distance and loss cracks him into pieces. “But I can’t just leave her there. What kind of life is that for a little girl? How am I supposed to look my own kid in the face after what I’ve done?”

Summary
“Y’know, the army probably doesn’t have much use for a surgeon who only has the use of one hand,” he says, his voice deliberately casual. “Could have been your ticket home.”

Summary
“I am your doctor, remember?” Hawkeye says, same as he’s done for the last several days to justify checking and rechecking the incision, BJ’s range of motion, if the bandage is too tight. BJ’s long since learned that sometimes there’s no talking Hawkeye out of things, and it’s easier to just indulge him.

Summary
The sutures had been confirmation enough -- BJ knows Hawkeye’s sewing better than his own. Still, there had been a moment this morning, the last hazy second between sleeping and waking, when he’d been terrifyingly certain that he’d dreamt Hawkeye staggering into the tent in the middle of the night, haggard and too pale even in the dim lamp light, but undeniably alive.
