Summary
Eugene thought he might would like jumping if it was under different circumstances. Almost enjoyed the way his breath got caught in his throat as soon as he was out of the plane. The pleasant weather on his face. How the adrenaline pumped through his entire body. The way he felt almost weightless. Just how much of the world he could see all at one time.
However none of that mattered over the way his heart pounded with dread and fear. Nothing could possibly drown out how sick he felt at all the things that could go wrong that kept running through his mind in endless wave after wave. Anyone could get tangled in their shoot on the way down. Enemy planes could roar overhead and open fire on them, while they were in the air. Someone could break their jaw on equipment not properly tied down on themselves. Far too easy to break a leg or an ankle upon landing.
OR: Eugene gets injured in the jump into Holland and tries to keep his wound to himself. New replacement Babe is having none of that.

Summary
Clenching and unclenching his hands into fists in his pockets, he tried not to think about how he could feel Hoobler’s blood underneath his fingernails. He’d done his best to clean his hands of every little bit of Hoobler from the crevices in his hands. But he never could seem to get it all off. Felt like the aftermath clung to his skin like leeches on a summer day. Always felt like their blood was permanently staining his hands. Senseless violence and gore that would embed itself into his palms. Hoobler’s death in particular seemed so senseless. So avoidable. The weight of being utterly useless in stopping the bleeding sat its heavy burden on his shoulders. Adding itself to the weight of everyone he couldn’t manage to save.
OR: When Eugene fails to take care of himself, he falls badly ill. Babe is left to pick up the pieces

Summary
How silent it was in the house had a chill going up Babe’s spine. Couldn’t help but remember how quiet Gene had been curled up on the floor in Haguenua. Fever burning him out of his mind. Unresponsive. As close to death as Babe ever cared to see him. Couldn’t stop his mind from flashing images of how ashy Eugene’s face had been. Couldn’t stop the choking anxiety of the possibility of finding him like that again.
Sequel to my other fic A Medic's Reprieve, but you don't need to have read that to read this one <3

Summary
Babe’s mind dragged him away once again. Was that what it was like for Eugene? Out there somewhere living with every injury he ever had to treat? Was he wearing every single bloody injury he’d had his hands on as a scar of his own? Seared into his brain like a life long wound no one would see.
OR- No one has heard from Eugene since they got back home. Babe decides to go searching, and try to figure out how to live now they are no longer under the threat of war.
