Que Sera, Khe Sanh by Reckless (PG)
Fandom: THE A-TEAM
Pairing: Face/OFC (non-graphic), male/male (other - non-graphic)
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Reckless's Stories on A-Team Fan Fic Archive
Why this must be read: I love stories that pick up on a throwaway line in canon. In the episode "A Small and Deadly War," Hannibal comes up with a plan: "It's the same plan we nailed that Cong general with outside Khe Sanh." The team immediately balks at the idea because ... well, they know Hannibal's plans!
Face: Ahh ... You mean where I took it in the leg?
Murdock: Where I got shot down?
BA: That was a terrible plan.
Hannibal: Now we've got all the kinks worked out.
Reckless goes back to that plan in Khe Sanh and fleshes it out for the reader. It's typical A-Team in every way - chaotic and funny and things never go quite according to Hannibal's "piece of cake" plans. But then again, that's half the fun!
The sergeant nodded deliberately, but his mouth twisted as if he had just eaten something sour.
“Something you want to add, Sergeant?” the colonel added.
“No,” BA mumbled. “Don’t got anything to add.”
“Good,” Hannibal stated. With a smile, he turned to his new lieutenant. “See, kid, this is going to be a piece of cake.”
Face had watched the interplay between the other two members of his squad with interest, but turned away from BA to nod at the colonel. Hannibal grinned back, exposed a full set of teeth and immediately put Face at ease. Face could not help but trust Hannibal. ‘No one could fake an honest smile like that,’ Face thought as he watched Hannibal head out the door. The colonel was right. This mission would be a “piece of cake.”
Read the story: Que Sera, Khe Sanh, and let the author know you enjoyed it.
