A Priest in Korea is Moving to the AO3
Many years ago, I was friends with Scarlatti on Livejournal, and I found she had written a whole lot of M*A*S*H fanfiction (twenty stories! That was a whole lot back then!) using the name Iolanthe.
I read all her stories - mostly Hawkeye/Mulcahy: as far as I know, she was the very first person ever to write Hawkeye/Mulcahy slash stories - and I loved them and I started seeing Hawkcahy in the series and one of her stories gave me the idea for the story that eventually grew into Sins and Virtues.
She read the final part of S&V only in first draft - I started sending her sections as soon as I had finished them - because Susan had cancer, and she died, four months before she would have turned 40.
Her website, A Priest In Korea (William Christopher's description of M*A*S*H was "Oh, it's about a priest in Korea") fell into the Wayback machine, and last year, thinking of her stories again and looking for them, I found a complete snapshot of her website, and I thought "I could transfer this over to AO3 and let everyone read them: I bet they have a process for that".
They do. Julie was my Virgil as I walked through the Open Doors and now a priest in Korea has moved to AO3: A priest in Korea03.
The longest story on site isn't even a Hawkeye/Mulcahy story: it's a Francis Mulcahy & Margaret Houlihan story, Polarity, which uses "a creaky old sci-fi plot device" to put Francis into Margaret's body and Margaret into Francis's -
He grew even more uneasy under the appreciative once-over with which Dickinson now favored him, and a blush warmed his face. When he caught sight of Houlihan's sidelong glare, he wondered how she -- or any other woman, for that matter -- would normally handle that kind of attention.
"Well now, Major, I can see you're a take-charge kind of gal," Dickinson drawled. "Meaning no disrespect. But your C.O. would have my head on a platter if I sent you off without an armed escort. Ain't that how you got into this mess in the first place?"
And the next-longest is also not precisely Hawkeye/Mulcahy, Playing the Game:
The night air was pleasant and warm, and I was enjoying the mind-fuzzing effects of several beers, so my pace was unhurried. I'd almost made it to my tent when a man stepped out of the shadows behind the nurses' tent and latched onto my upper arm. "Hold it right there, Mister Vatican," he hissed.
I knew who it was without needing to see his face. No one but Colonel Sam Flagg, alleged CIA operative and all-around loose cannon, had ever addressed me in that fashion. I froze obediently, though my heart was racing and every instinct was telling me to flee for the hills at the earliest opportunity.
"Got a few questions for you," Flagg went on.
(sadly, now and forever unfinished, but rather in the sense of "there should have been more" than "ends on a cliffhanger")
She wrote what is still (as far as I can tell) the only Henry Blake/Trapper story, one of the few Radar/Hawkeye stories, and also Trapper/Mulcahy.
But mostly, she wrote about Francis Mulcahy falling in love with Hawkeye, and Hawkeye's gentle reciprocation.
Between us, we somehow managed to get the tent door open and cross the threshold. At that point, I expected Mulcahy to say goodnight and go pass out in his bunk, which is what I would've done, but instead he had a surprise for me.
As soon as the door closed behind us, he turned in my grasp until we were face to face. Before I had time to fully register what was going on, he'd looped his arms around my neck and was pulling me forward into a kiss.
It was, I think, the softest, sweetest, most tender kiss I've ever received...and one of the most inexplicably erotic.
What can I say? I loved her stories. She inspired me to write Hawkcahy long before that shipname was invented. I never got to meet her.
I'd like you all to read her stories, and thanks to Open Doors/AO3, there they are.
They told me, Heraclitus, they told me you were dead,
They brought me bitter news to hear and bitter tears to shed.
I wept, as I remembered, how often you and I
Had tired the sun with talking and sent him down the sky.
And now that thou art lying, my dear old Carian guest,
A handful of grey ashes, long long ago at rest,
Still are thy pleasant voices, thy nightingales, awake;
For Death, he taketh all away, but them he cannot take.
This is sort of a sad post, but it shouldn't be: Susan was hilarious, and it's been a pleasure and an honour being her archivist.
Thanks, Susan.

“Seeing you sure brings back a few things.” Hawkeye says it like a confession, leaning back in his chair with his head tipped up to the stars.
“You too,” Sidney murmurs, and can’t help the smile that breaks over his face when Hawkeye rolls his head to the side to look at him. “You’re one of a kind, Hawkeye. You were then and you are now. I’m glad to see that hasn’t changed.”
“Aw, shucks,” Hawkeye simpers but his eyes crinkle up with genuine pleasure.
“I’ve thought about you a lot over the years, if you believe it. Sometimes I regretted that we didn’t exchange addresses or even last names, and sometimes I was grateful we didn’t, that we could keep that weekend kind of…” Sidney cups his hands together, like cradling something precious and delicate and, more importantly, contained. “You were so…vibrant. I’d never met anyone quite like you.”
---
Or: When he was thirty years old and living in Brooklyn, Sidney bumped into a young med student visiting the city for a taste of the queer nightlife. Ten years later in Korea they meet by chance once again, and spend the next three years growing closer and more entangled.

On September 7, 1813, the United States gets its nickname, Uncle Sam. The name is linked to Samuel Wilson, a meat packer from Troy, New York, who supplied barrels of beef to the United States Army during the War of 1812. Wilson (1766-1854) stamped the barrels with “U.S.” for United States, but soldiers began referring to the grub as “Uncle Sam’s.” The local newspaper picked up on the story and Uncle Sam eventually gained widespread acceptance as the nickname for—and personification of—the U.S. federal government. In the late 1860s and 1870s, political cartoonist Thomas Nast (1840-1902) began popularizing the image of Uncle Sam. Nast continued to evolve the image, eventually giving Sam the white beard and stars-and-stripes suit that are associated with the character today. The German-born Nast was also credited with creating the modern image of Santa Claus as well as coming up with the donkey as a symbol for the Democratic Party and the elephant as a symbol for the Republicans. Nast also famously lampooned the corruption of New York City’s Tammany Hall in his editorial cartoons and was, in part, responsible for the downfall of Tammany leader William Tweed, alongside former New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia who ran his platform on ending Tammany Hall and its corrupt practices. Perhaps the most famous image of Uncle Sam was created by artist James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960). In Flagg’s version, Uncle Sam wears a tall top hat and blue jacket and is pointing straight ahead at the viewer. During World War I, this portrait of Sam with the words “I Want You For The U.S. Army” was used as a recruiting poster. The image, which became immensely popular, was first used on the cover of Leslie’s Weekly in July 1916 with the title “What Are You Doing for Preparedness?” The poster was widely distributed and has subsequently been re-used numerous times with different captions. In September 1961, the U.S. Congress recognized Samuel Wilson as “the progenitor of America’s national symbol of Uncle Sam.” Wilson died at age 87 in 1854, and was buried next to his wife Betsey Mann in the Oakwood Cemetery in Troy, New York, the town that calls itself “The Home of Uncle Sam.” (at Columbia, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNldUFuOTj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On This Day - July 6, 1916, during World War I, one of the best-known images of American history made its debut. The picture of a white-haired, bearded man dressed in red, white, and blue appeared on the cover of Leslie’s Weekly magazine with the title “What
Are You Doing for Preparedness?” American’s have come to know this man as Uncle Sam – but no one knows for sure where the tradition really came from.
Some say it dates as far back to the War of 1812. Samuel Wilson, a businessman from Troy, New York, who was known to friends as Uncle Sam, supplied the Army with beef in barrels. To show that the beef barrels belonged to the United States government, they were labeled “U.S.” Somewhere along the way people began to joke that the “U.S.” stood for Uncle Sam, and the national icon was born. The image that appeared on Leslie’s Weekly was based on artist James Montgomery Flagg’s own likeness, saving him the money required to hire a model. The U.S. government turned the popular picture into a famous recruiting poster of Uncle Sam declaring, “I Want You.”

Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler
I'd really like to watch this someday.
It's the only episode with Sidney Freedman that I haven't watched in years, AND it has Samuel Flagg, and as I recall, they have a lovely set-to in Colonel Potter's office.
