Lydecker relies on Rule #4 and his wits.

Finally, here it is. I so almost didn't post this. Very high H/C content at times, especially in the second half- that and other SIGNIFICANT warnings will be posted by chapter, please read them! No slash. This story really got away from me lengthwise; I hope you're as desperate for C! fic as I am.

A tale of the ties that bind.

Two replacements join the squad. (New writer; your comments would be appreciated.)

Saunders and his men are cut off from home. As they try to make it to another village, they must help out some combat engineers.

While recovering from a bad injury, Saunders and his squad are sent on an assignment in Italy. Doubts about his value as a soldier begin to set in for Saunders as Thanksgiving approaches.

Doc II sees his first action

There is a rumor that someone killed a courier and took gold coins and diamonds. What does Kirby know about it?

I've had several requests for a new story but I don't have time to write right now. This one is several years old but I don't think I ever posted it anywhere. The few people who read it really liked it. I didn't like it that Metcalf got off scot free after he was so willing to have Kirby shot for something he didn't do, so some of Kirby's WAC friends settle the score.

Saunders and the squad face a puzzle that has serious implications.

The squad is sent to clear a town and the usual trouble ensues.

Follow-up to "The First Hello, The Last Goodbye". Caje makes a last trip home before he is deployed overseas in order to reconcile with his father.

This is a post-war story with two squad characters - Caje and Billy. Billy comes to the bayou ahead of the remains of a hurricane, dealing with the effects of the war and to see Caje. Caje has his own battle to deal with - his father who is in declining health. The two come together when tragedy strikes.

When a seriously wounded Kirby loses his dog tags, he sets a chain of events in motion that will change all the squad members lives. This story was finished 12/14, and my computer "bricked" and I lost most of it because my files didn't back up for whatever reason. I said I wasn't going to write it again, but I need to get it out of my head.

A snapshot from Saunders' childhood. Enjoy!

Something I thought of. Enjoy!

A happy ending for one German soldier...

Kirby, age 17, is aided by what seems to him like an Angel, while strolling on the freezing middle-class streets of Chicago, Christmas Eve, 1931.

The spirit of a WWII soldier comes to visit and talk with a man from his past.

A soldier comes home. Revised, extended, paired with "they called him Will"

Kirby wakes after an injury to find his comrades there...

Caje is having a family crisis...Kirby is trying to help but it isn't going as he planned...Sgt. Saunders is on edge, snapping at the men and Lt. Hanley is two days past due from a "solo mission." Little John, Billy and McCall aren't sure what's going on but hope things get back to normal soon...coz an unsmiling Cajun and grumpy Sarge just ain't right...it's been a long week.

One shot, original version, A soldier comes home.

Saunders faints.

He was an outcast; he knew he belonged here, but what were they saying about him? How was it that he could not understand? His pain was not theirs...but he was one of them. He fought a different war. RATED FOR INJURY, NOT GRAPHIC.
