every so often I go a bit insane over the tragedy of Henry Blake. like. they're in this place broadly agreed not only to be hell on earth, but actually worse than hell, and he gets to go home. nobody gets to go home. the goal post is always moving, and the only way to be shipped back is in a cast, minimum. and Henry gets sent home, to his wife, to his kids. everyone is so pleased for him, so pleased, because if anybody deserves this it's Henry.
and then he dies during the trip. the war refuses to let him leave, so he gets shot down over the sea of japan, and he never makes it home.
what gets me about this is the fact that to my recollection, nobody from the 4077th (save for the woman who died in the minefield and brave, brave tuttle) dies. they all survive the war, they all make it home, bruised and a little bit broken, but there. and if Henry hadn't got that 'lucky break', if he hadn't been sent back home, then he probably would've got there.

I just want you to know that I love reading your life stories and from the context clues on your posts this is what I imagine you look like because you're a 5'3" security guard.

“You’re such a pretty man,” Makino sighed, touching her fingertips to his cheek, before rubbing his beard with her thumb. “Your wife is very lucky. Oh—hey.” Her whole expression brightened, her smile entirely cheeky. “That’s me.”
Shanks grinned, delighted. “You are absolutely hammered, aren’t you?”
“Hmm, I think I’m about to be.” She frowned. “Wait—was that not a euphemism?”
My masked Zorro, the unbelievably generous and tantalisingly mysterious Cover Anon, sweeps in once more with another gorgeous cover from Shanties, this time for Penelope (aka, the wedding fic, my beloved), by the incredible @sacred_pirate on twitter.
I...don't know how it's possible to capture the way a fic exists in my mind so perfectly it's like the artist reached into my soul, and yet that's what this feels like. This is one of the most beautiful artworks I've ever seen, and I can't believe it's from my fic, and this fic.
