Boys Missing Shoes by Chloe (PG-13)
Fandom: BAND OF BROTHERS
Pairing: Winters/Nixon
Author on LJ:
illiterate
Author Website: Death of Decadence
Why this must be read: Winters/Nixon is hands down the favorite pairing in Band of Brothers fandom, which means it's reasonably easy to find good fic... but not always quite so easy to figure out new ways to write it. Chloe pulls it off admirably here. Her Nixon is just as funny and fractured as the man we see onscreen, and the backstory she suggests for him is beautifully ambiguous. Even more impressively, she gives us a Winters with a complex interior monologue underlying that stern façade--a Winters who is, when faced with his feelings for Nixon, still as young and frightened as the boys he leads.
Some people are more affectionate when they have been drinking; when Nixon has been drinking he wants to kiss you. Nixon always seems to be drinking. It works out then.
