Inspired by SassyScot's original Nervember. Thirty anxious anecdotes, ranging from the humorous to the serious, from life-changing events to minor mistakes, starring the Rat Patrol and Captain Dietrich.

A series of nerve wracking, anxiety-filled stories of our favorites Rats and their families.

A folkloric creature begins tormenting Jack Moffitt and his family, kicking off a mystery and reopening a cold case from nearly fifty years prior. The mystery proves to be more personal than Moffitt initially suspected, when a revelation is made that forces him to revisit a part of his past that he would rather not.

Following directly where "Change of Ways" has left off, this story follows Dietrich and his enlarged Rat Patrol into Tobruk and a new type of war for all of them in North Africa.

Maybe the guys will let Hitch finish his story.

Whumptober 2024 Taking on the role of courier, Moffitt is in for more than he bargained for - especially on a stolen German motorcycle.

What begins as a simple trip to Greece to learn of his ancestors' homeland quickly turns to a race against time for Sam Troy when he and Jack Moffitt learn of a seer's vision involving jackals and vampiric owls from folklore known as the strix. It also becomes a battle against himself, as Troy once more faces the hurdles of his past that he wishes would disappear.

The journey of coming to terms with his family is not yet over for Dietrich, when a relative he never thought existed shows up at his brother's doorstep with a dark history and difficulties to match.

Whumptober 2024, Prompt #24: "Collapsed building." Two Germans trusted their men, their weapons, and themselves, but then the Rat Patrol showed up.

Set directly after the the events of the Rat Patrol's final episode, the story follows Dietrich's path into an unsteady future, joining his ways with the Rats and even less expected individuals. Reunions with former friends and foes included. (CHAPTER 1-36 revised!)

Whumptober 2024. Past meets present and dreams come to pass when Dietrich finds himself helping two generations of Moffitts at very different points in time.

Whumptober 2024. An effort to defeat an ancient spirit residing at a New Zealand beach proves disastrous.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Illness and injury abound. Allergies, chills, snakebite, curses, and... cake? Whatever will the Rats and Dietrich do to preserve their health?

Sicktember 2024, Prompt #26: "Cardiac Arrest." Love blossoms anywhere, but on a dung heap?

A little bit of fluff just for the fun of it.

Hitch's journals contain stories of his life in the Army and his exploits with the Rat Patrol.

Greetings. Please forgive my absence, the length of this story and, for those German speakers, please forgive my inability to include umlauts! The Rats and Dietrich meet again but none of them can guess where their encounter will take them.

Finally completed after all this time. I was never satisfied with any drafts until I sat down at 4am and hammered out a good final chapter. (The writing gets a little facetious, fair warning lol)

For one brief moment, Hitch holds the North African Campaign in his hands. Fluff.

One is interested, the other is not.

Whether the Rats were blowing up an ammo dump, or chasing down a convoy, it was always there, the Steel Soldier.

Dietrich makes the long journey to New Zealand in order to help a new friend of Jules's get on a path to success, which is not something Dietrich ever thought he would be doing. This proves to be more challenging than he initially expected, but after everything else Dietrich has undergone over the years, what's one more challenge in his life?

'It wasn't every day that Sergeant Troy met other commandos, but whenever he did, he always felt a little strange about it.' And what happens when Troy finds these commandos mistreating a prisoner of war with a familiar face?

A mission to capture an uncharacteristically aggressive sea krait sends Jack Moffitt, his son Jules, and Egyptian cobra companion Anah on a trip to New Zealand. While Moffitt is off rescuing the krait, Jules finds himself facing an unwelcome visit from his past in the form of temperamental Australian magpies. For Janna12.

Months after Dietrich has reconnected with his older brother, an unexpected visit from Troy results in numerous events being dredged up from everyone's pasts that they must work together to address.
