manifesting a speirsroe fall..... the one frame they're in at the same times compels me very much. also god loves a medic by stewardess on ao3 but that's not the point

I'm in a boat On the sea And I see You on the shore So sure Of yourself

You're in a boat On the sea And you see Me on the shore So sure Of myself

We're in a boat All at sea And we see We are the same The same But different -Vashti Bunyan, "Same But Different"

It might be a bit of an odd combination of characters, but Speirs and Roe interested me from the very beginning. They both have something stoic and aloof to them, but also a sense of devotion and care that is definitely there. I worked quite a while on this piece and kept on leaving it be - working on a "serious" fanart for this fandom made me feel quite nervous because I kept on feeling like it was very hard to do it justice because of the enormity of the subject matter. This might read odd, because my "silly" meme artworks could arguably be more difficult in that regard, but that's the best I can describe it. (つ﹏⊂)

I have many many feelings about Eugene in particular, maybe also in part because I worked as a nurse for a while in my life. When I watched the series for the first time years ago, episode 6 ("Bastogne") stuck with me the most, definitely, and I feel like this might have been the case for others as well. I am currently working on many more pieces and I hope I can muster the courage to post them too eventually.

Love Fest is done! The wonderful community has created 18 works, and as a wrapping-up, we’d put them all in one big masterlist together. Below are all the works, prompt by prompt, separated into fic/art/edits, in alphabetical order. Spread the word, spread the love! <3

FIC: 

A Little Distraction by @anthrobrat

Nixon/Welsh; Rated M Prompt: "Oops, we got drunk and gave each other (Dealer's Choice)."

'Cause all I know is we said hello (and your eyes look like coming home) by @vintagelavenderskies

Eugene Roe/Renee LeMaire; Rated G Prompts: Eugene is a barista at the local cafe. Renee is new to the States and frequently visits the cafe. Over time, they become friends and eventually fall for each other.

Detective Luz Is On The Case! by @serasvictoria

Genfic; Rated G Prompt:Someone has stolen the precious few Hershey bars from the supplies. Thankfully, George has seen a detective movie or two (or three, or seven...) so he puts on his best over-the-top detective voice and sets out to solve the mystery. Detective Luz is on the case!

Landing by @ralphspina

LuzRoe; Rated G Prompt: It's D-Day; George and Gene land near each other in Normandy and need to go find their company.

Lupercalia by @howling-harpy

Speirton; Rated G Prompt: Ron is the strictest, scariest, most standoffish boss in Easy, and his coworkers don't know the slightest thing about his personal life. So, naturally, it's the talk of the office when someone finds out that he's bringing a plus one to the company party.

More Than A Team by @mercurygray

Winnix; Rated G Prompt: Whipped cream.

Mornings are for the loved, and the loving, for me and for you. by @mariamegale

Baberoe, Rated E Prompt: A Babe/Gene smut fest. Go crazy. Can have some story to it or pwp.

Only In Dreams by @serasvictoria

Lipton/Talbert, Rated E Prompt: Ever since Floyd saw liptons dick in carentan, he can’t stop thinking about it.

Passing Fancy by Muccamukk

Bucklarkey, Rated E Prompt: Malarkey loses a bet to a female intelligence officer and has to wear her uniform for the day (stockings, garter belts, panties included ;) ), and buck decides he’s about to act up.

Pillow talk by @speirtongirl

Speirton, Rated M Prompt: Speirs and Lipton sleep together for the first time, but what then? Pillowtalk presents a challenge for them both. Perhaps they don't know what to say, perhaps they fear what the other is thinking and whether or not they feel the same, or if they're going to stay the night.

Receiving End of Your Stare by @serasvictoria

Bucklarkey, Rated E Prompt: Malarkey loses a bet to a female intelligence officer and has to wear her uniform for the day (stockings, garter belts, panties included ;) ), and buck decides he’s about to act up.

Walking Wounded by @papersergeant-pencilsoldier

Baberoe; Rated G Prompt: Canon-era; Either Gene or Babe have magic, or both. Maybe magic is known or maybe they need to hide it.

ART:

After The War by @onelungmcclung

Toye/McClung Prompt: The Joe Toye Post-War Happiness Project Joe finds love and happiness after the war, and comes to accept himself better.

Fluffy Comfort Delivery by @lyselkatz​

Randlemartin Prompt: One of them is hurt or homesick or otherwise down, and the other comes up with something improbable to comfort him.

Not your typical Prince Charming by @lyselkatz 

Winnix Prompt: Nix riding a horse and being Dick's cynical but irresistible Prince Charming. (preferably not in an actual fairy tale setting)

Sweet Comfort by @lyselkatz

Gen; Roe and Smokey Prompt: canonverse; do what you like with it. (hmu if this is too vague.)

You Can’t Resist The Pull by @ksansart​

Speirs/Roe Speirs is not the kind to fall for soft-spoken, kind-hearted doctors. Turns out, Gene is just really good at hiding his skeletons. Quite literally.

EDIT: 

After The War by @onelungmcclung

Toye/McClung Prompt: The Joe Toye Post-War Happiness Project Joe finds love and happiness after the war, and comes to accept himself better.

Hello Speirs x Roe rarepair hell, I am writing you a fic two decades late. ♥

Lord, Make Me an Instrument

Eugene Roe/Ronald Speirs, M, 3098 words so far, 2/? chapters.

Eugene Roe/Ronald Speirs

M, 5,773 words so far, 4/? chapters

The meanest, toughest son of a bitch in the 506th, Lieutenant Speirs left mercy, remorse and compassion behind when he became a soldier; an instrument of the war machine.

Eugene Roe joined the regiment to save lives; to be an instrument of hope.

What happens when Eugene, a combat medic who is the living embodiment of the very things Speirs had to kill in himself - catches his eye, his interest and his fortified heart?
