General, dein Tank ist ein starker Wagen by Sabine (NC-17)

Fandom: BAND OF BROTHERS
Pairing: Winters/Nixon
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] iamsab
Author Website: You Guys Are Just Fucked
Why this must be read: This is one of the more explicit fics in the fandom (which doesn't have that many to begin with), but if there's anyone I'd trust to make it work, it's Sabine. And she does. This is a story about Winters and Nixon, sure, and it's hot enough to melt all the snow in Bastogne--you could read it for that alone. But as short as it is, it's also about a whole lot more. Most of all, it's a story about how Winters is forced to look at the war, in hierarchies and figures, in cold calculations; and it's about the ways he finds, in Nixon, to stay warm and human.

Captain Lewis Nixon’s melting snow for coffee. Two officers in one tent, gotta be worth at least a platoon on the line. You warm your hands over the Sterno and wonder which platoon’s gonna go down for you. Buck Compton’s men are top of the line; they’d make a reasonable sacrifice. Lieutenant Peacock’s platoon would be a steal.

You hate this war.
