His smile falls off. He doesn't try to catch it.

Drive by rec: Alone Together by buffyaddict_fic. Band of Brothers, gen, Tipper and Liebgott centric, 22,000 words. I was intrigued when I saw it on my flist, mostly because I LOVE Liebgott, and I was surprised to find an extremely well-written, moving, powerful portrait of two young men who build a connection only to have it snatched away by a mortar in Carentan. Tipper's point of view is delightful - essentially an original character, given he only has one scene in BoB, but I fell in love with him immediately. I especially adore his perspective on Joe's slightly manic nature. But as poignant as the first part is, the second part, where Lieb has to soldier on by himself, survive Bastogne and Landsberg... well. Let's just say it got me crying. There's only 2 parts (of 4) posted so far, but she has them written and they should be up in a couple days.

If you're a Band of Brothers fan, you want to read that. Just sayin'. :)

This story isn't helping my problem with being COMPLETELY HEAD OVER HEELS for Liebgott. He's vying for #1! Crazy, I know!

My girlfriend loves Lieb. :D I'm a Lieb/Webb shipper myself. I think there's something intriguing about the whole well-educated/well-experienced juxtaposition of the two.

I've been reading this fic, and it's so fucking good, oh my god. her perspective on leibgott is just. heavenly.

but, man, leibgott has always vied for the top spot in my book, maybe because he's small and angry and jewish, but this fic just reminds me of why I watched the series straight through two times in a row and forced about three other people to watch it with me, haha. and now I want to watch it again.
