I started this earlier in the year, inspired by the 'stabbed and pinned to the wall' tag in the h/c exchange, and also by watching MASH and thinking that if someone was impaled to the wall in a serious way they would need some really good trauma surgeons really quickly. It's been sitting around unfinished for a while, but today's whumptober prompt is also 'pinned to the wall', and so I have taken the hint and finally written an ending for it and posted it. Whumptober seems to be doing well for getting me to finish longer things that I haven't quite had the impetus to get done, long may it continue.

Title: Lime Jello and Other Dangers
Content: impalement, blood and gore, h/c, MASH crossover, canon-typical relationship dynamics, whatever the h/c equivalent of PWP is, not medically accurate, 7800 words
Summary: Von Stalhein is seriously injured. Biggles won't leave him. Algy knows a guy who runs a field hospital. And Hawkeye just wants more sleep.

Today's Whumptober prompts did not spark off any ideas, so instead in the spirit of the fest, I went off and finished a ridiculous whumpy fic that's been hanging around almost done for a few weeks.

This was inspired by a passage in silversmith's utterly brilliant Biggles/EvS casefic Tendernesses, Imprecise which I adored and which everyone should go and read. Anyway, there's one paragraph in it:

He had entertained a small private fantasy during his early months in London. The Soviets came for him and took him away, demanded information on his rescuers; and he imagined saying nothing, and somehow, later (he was hazy on this part), Bigglesworth and his colleagues would come to hear of it: that he had not, after all, betrayed them; and they would raise a glass to his memory and his reclaimed honour, saying that, if they had not gained much from their trip to Sakhalin, at least it had not been an error.

And I read that and I thought, if that actually happened to him, it really wouldn't go like that at all, and then I had to write how it would turn out.
