Fics like Make Do and Mend

Majority of his time in Lancaster made Dick take a long hard look at just how much the war took from him, how much it kept on him. But the gash of the ricochet across his ankle felt a little easier to forget than the inclination of his muscles to run six miles in the morning, keep his hair shaved close to his scalp. Flesh wounds were external and less frightening than the way his fingers would curl around a garden spade like it was a shovel to a foxhole. Dick wondered how long until his stomach felt softer, until his thighs were a little less taut for him to completely shed who he was in the European theatre. War was in his habits and Dick didn’t know who he was without them. -- Dick Winters came back home with two vices: the damning inclination to wear his ODs every second of the day, and Lewis Nixon.
