Why this must be read: I owe a lot to Emma Stark. Although I don't know her, she's the person that made A-Team slash believable for me. As a writer, she does a lot of things writers are cautioned against: she writes in multiple points of view; in short, not-quite-sentences that are sometimes staccato, sometimes lyrical. But her writing draws you in, puts you in the middle of the chaos of the characters' lives and makes you feel the fear and the exhilaration and the desperation. She makes you believe that two tough guys can find something together in the middle of a war. It's quick and hot and dirty; it's Jim Morrison in the background and shells going off; it's joy and celebration and being alive. This is the story that made me believe.
They'd been listening to the radio, but it had cut out around Phu Lac; when it came back on (halting, jittering static) Jim Morrison was singing "Light my Fire." The static kept trying to swallow his voice and Murdock leaned down and cranked up the volume ("Hold on!") and the song (...know that it would be...) cut out entirely, but then it came back on (...would be a liar...) like Jim was trying to stay with them.
"Come on baby, light my fire..." Murdock sang along at the top of his lungs. It wasn't pretty, but it was loud. "Come on baby, light my fire!" he sang. "Try to set the night on fire..."
Face grinned and howled and Murdock howled with him (fuck, they were good together!) and another explosion rocked the jeep as it screamed forward and the two of them sang, "...time to hesitate is through -- no time to wallow in the mire. Try now we can only lose -- And our love become a funeral pyre..."
Their voices were loud, loud, loud and fuck Charlie (everybody) it was just them now, them and Jim and a jeep with the side mirror duct taped on, half-falling off, but they weren't looking behind them anymore anyway.
"Try to set the night on fire..." Face drove like a demon down Danh Cay Bac Duong Cuong, and Murdock grabbed onto the seat behind Face and held fast, and they sang 'til their throats were raw. Even when the song changed on the radio and the shells (god, finally) stopped eating up the road behind them, they kept on.
