SO AMAZINGLY GOOD LIKE WHOA. It kind of blew my mind, especially because I went in totally blind and not knowing what to expect.
Lieeeeeb! Every time I watch I find more things to love about him. He is very small and angry and Jewish and I find all of these things delightful. I also really enjoy his pigtail-pulling with Webs, it's seriously adorable. The reason this fic gave for that - that Webs wasn't at Bastogne so Lieb could actually stand to be around him - was really interesting and changes how I view those episodes to some extent. But he just has so many different moments, from adorably cutting hair (which is trufax! Bill Guarnere talks about it in his book) to fighting with Guarnere on the ship to playing Pop The German after Alley gets hurt to telling Webster he "loves to read! Flash Gordon mostly" to seeing the camp and basically falling apart in front of our eyes, oh my god. ;____; He just has the most compelling arc and emotional journey and augh I love him BEYOND ALL REASON. This story just cemented that.
Um, I'll shut up now. :D (And you should totally watch it again!)
ETA: HAHAHA I totally forgot I had already replied to this comment. Well, now with extra Liebgott fangirling! :D
