The Sound of Thunder Part II by Range Ryder (PG)
Fandom: THE A-TEAM
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read: "Sound of Thunder" is, in my opinion, one of the best episodes of the series, especially if you're a fan of re-visiting the Team's time in Vietnam. However, it's also one of the most frustrating in terms of unanswered questions. In one scene, the team is escaping from Vietnam with the body of General Fullbright on board their helicopter, his Vietnamese daughter with them, and Murdock in the pilot's seat with a bullet hole in his shoulder. The next scene they're in the US, no mention of Murdock's injury or how they glossed over Fullbright's death. Nothing.
This fic attempts to fill in that missing timeline from when Murdock gets shot to when they get back to the States. It's plausible, and pulls in the character of Maggie Sullivan to help them. It's got a measure of hurt/comfort, drama, angst, and a good team dynamic. It answers some of the questions the episode left open, and it neatly frames the story with the two scenes from the episode. Even those who aren't familiar with the episode should be able to catch up quite easily.
B.A. made his way to the front of the plane and stood behind the pilot's seat. Holding on to the upholstered headrest he watched Face press a fresh bandage to Murdock's chest while Hannibal flew the plane. Though obviously weak and in pain, the captain was responsive, if somewhat drowsy.
As Face finished changing the bandage and stood up he looked over at B.A., then turned to Hannibal. "B.A. isn't looking too good, either. Maybe I should get him a sedative." he whispered to Hannibal. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd never have believed that he'd willingly get on a plane. I sure don't want to have to deal with him flipping out if it looks like we're going to crash..."
"Shut up, Face, or I'm gonna give you a sedative." B.A.'s knuckles whitened as his fingers dug even more deeply into the upholstery. "I got on this plane because me and Murdock got the same blood type. He gonna need me when we get down. Now, I don't wanna hear no more 'bout no crashes and no sedatives. Murdock said Hannibal can land the plane. You got it?"
