| 53. “I love you and I am terrified.” (Charles/Leonidas(OC))
Leonidas stands in front of Charles in the Swamp with a few tears in his eyes. He had just heard that Charles never really cared for him from a nurse in Post-Op when he was helping Hawkeye with his rounds. He was confronting Charles about it, who's acting like he has no idea what Leonidas is talking about. Charles stands from his desk, putting a hand out to placate his lover. "Leonidas-"
"Why are you acting like you don't know anything!?" Leonidas asks, clearly a little angry. "The nurse told me that you told her everything I heard right to her face! She said she heard it from you, I don't think she has any reason to lie to me!"
"Leonidas, dear.." Charles says, clearly trying to calm Leonidas down. "I really do not know what you are talking about, my dear.."
"The nurse told me that you never really loved me. Was all of this just an act? Taking pity on the immigrant boy!?" Leonidas asks, tears falling down his face. "Was she right, did you never really love me?" He chuckles, bringing a hand up to wipe his eye. "I don't know why I thought it would be any different, you're a Winchester, of course you wouldn't-"
"I love you!" Charles says suddenly, surging forward and taking Leonidas's hand. "I do love you.." He repeats, looking at Leonidas with a soft look in his eyes. "But.. I am terrified." Leonidas pauses, looking at him with a confused look in his eye
"Terrified..?" Leonidas asks. "Why would you be terrified, I love you, Charles.. I'm not pulling the wool over your eyes on this." He says, stepping closer. "I have never lied to you and I won't ever start."
"You know I have an image to uphold back in Boston, I.. was just terrified that somehow news of you and me.. of us would make it back to Boston and my parents would figure it out." Charles explains. "I do love you, Leonidas, I do.. You know how my parents are, how my father is with people like you.. people like us."
Leonidas comes closer and cups Charles's cheek in his hand, his other hand still linked with Charles's. "I know how your father is.. And I honestly couldn't care less. I have you and you have me.. that's all we really need in this life. You don't have to be terrified, Charles, because you have me.." He says, smiling softly.
Charles looks down at Leonidas, just staring down at his lover. He eventually starts to smile, rubbing his thumb on Leonidas's hand. "I do have you, my dear.. And I am glad to have you in my life." He admits. Leonidas smiles as he hears Charles's words, he knows that he's the only one who can make Charles soft like this.
"Now come on. Let's get to bed. I'm exhausted after Post-Op duty and I know you've got first shift in the morning after BJ." Leonidas says, remembering the schedule that says Charles had to take over from BJ at seven in the morning. The two change and Leonidas convinces Charles to stay in his bed for the night. They fall asleep with each other in their arms, happy in their piece of Korea that's all theirs.
mulcahy continues to be a miracle-worker by finding a method of physical exercise that hawkeye actually enjoys. in fact, he likes it so much, he's coming back for practice multiple times a week! how wonderful is that? ^_^
GFA was about taking the thing that helped each person cope and also defined them, right, which means everyone’s arc was about reconciling themselves with that senseless loss, Margaret with the army, Klinger with Toledo, Mulcahy with his ability to hear confession, Hawkeye with surgery, Charles with music, Potter his career, which means Beej should have lost HIS WIFE!!! It should have been his marriage! He should have gotten a divorce, that should have been his loss, his whole thing was fidelity, his whole thing was wife guy tempted but never strays because his wife is his lifeline he should have lost his wife but he didn’t!!! That wasn’t the loss he had to reconcile himself with!!! That wasn’t the goodbye he had to say!!! That wasn’t the thing he had to address before narratively being allowed to leave korea!!!!! That wasn’t what he had to watch walk away from him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Autumn in New England Korea
Gift Art for @stxrmcloud as part of @cuddleswinchester's holiday exchange!
Partially inspired by the Fall in Korea theme in his fic As the Night Changes and partly by the autumn leaf scene in 9x02 Letters.
Outfit from 8x12 Dear Uncle Abdul.
The brush pattern is custom made from the leaf (be it maple, birch, or otherwise) sent by the Crabapple Cove fourth-grader in Letters - stencil below in case anyone else wants it. (also what a coincidence that stxrmcloud's own gift work was Letters! 😆)
Poor Charles! I imagine that in reality the leaves around him are all shapes and sizes of native Korean flora - but out of homesickness he superimposes the image of that one slice of home onto every single leaf. Wrapped in his civilian coat and hat, he can almost imagine himself in more familiar woods.
“I’m sorry I’m the one you love”
Dog collar, dog tags. . . I don’t think I really have anything to say about this one, this song just makes me Feel Some Things.
oh hewwo! this here's a father mulcahy wip, drawing him digitally and all but come... lemme show u my art process thus far in couple images (+random mulch kiss kiss)
I'll try post a finished one soon but working on lotsa art pieces atm so 👀👀👀
I do sketches on real paper, just random mind flow w inspo behind it, in this case a song+rlly wanted to draw mulcahy, mostly to get the creative juice flowing
this time it also inspired bjmulcahy outta nowhere like ok sure, maybe ill do something with it later...
but i needed to draw mulcahy with hands, just a simple human touch seems something highly personal and intimate for him... so some basic posing and halos and gold and hands it is
but after that it's just refs, a plain sketch on procreate and i start inking before i go wild
my "pencil" sketches always looks very different to my inks no matter the medium... but doing digital lets me go wild
M*A*S*H + writing home
Affectionate platonic kisses between Margaret and her guy friends are just the best.
he/it/they ☆ Stanley/Hawkeye ☆ MASH guy at heart ☆ i write things sometimes
