Summary
“I’d like to take your temperature with a thermometer,” you say, finally drawing your hand away. Even though it’s gloved, it feels like it’s glowing with heat.
His eyes crinkle in his very best imitation of a smile. “And I’d like to see this thermometer’s M.D. The war doesn’t stop on account of my fever.” He clicks his tongue, and drops a piece of shrapnel in a basin. “I thought you knew that by now.”

Summary
Something changes in Margaret when she sees Hawkeye and Carlye together.
"She pictures them before she can stop herself, together in that little town in Maine or wherever it was they had shacked up. Walton's timelessly beautiful in a way she knows she's not, and she wonders if he had been attentive in the mornings before she'd put her face on, if he'd kissed her hair tousled from sleep as they woke up with one another."

Summary
“Margaret,” he says for a third time. “The result of this test… the one that goes in your file, the one we tell Colonel Potter… it doesn’t have to be positive. Not if you don’t want it to be.”
Margaret laughs, because it’s just like him to think he can make a test say what he wants.
“I think people would notice when I had a baby,” she says, trying hard to sound funny.
“If you have a baby,” Hawkeye says quietly. Seriously.An AU of What's Up Doc? where Margaret is pregnant, but still doesn't want to be. Hawkeye offers her another choice.

Summary
"If I could leave, I would have already left."
(Title/lyric from Paul Revere by Noah Kahan... go listen to his music and think about Hawkeye to have a terrible time btw)He sat up in the window seat and stared out at the moon where it reflected on the sea. The air stung a little, salty as it was. But it didn’t sting like the wind in Korea had, when it kicked up dust as he and Margaret pressed their lips together for the last time. He tapped the ash off the end of the cigarette on the windowsill. If he was lucky, it’d catch and burn the whole place down.

Summary
Margaret wasn't happy with her life in Illinois, exactly, but after four long months, she was starting to get used to it. There wasn't a day where she didn't think about at least one member of the 4077th, but there was nothing to be done for it now. She had barely even kept up with them, save Colonel Sherman Potter. Imagine her surprise, then, when the "comrade in arms" she thought about most often turned up at her door. Or, rather, imagine her lack-thereof — who could expect anything less than dramatics from Dr. Hawkeye Pierce?

Summary
“Ironic, isn’t it,” Margaret said, keeping her eyes fixed on the road. “Other people get to have ten-year reunions. They get to go to some fancy venue, dress up, and brag about how incredibly successful they have become. We get a nine-year reunion, and it’s a goodbye.”
Nine years in an eternity. Nine years is the blink of an eye. On a dark August night in 1962, the news of Colonel Potter's passing reaches Margaret and Hawkeye, and they have to leave the white house by the ocean behind, and travel to Hannibal. Meet their old friends again. That strange family bound together by blood, cold, rain, last breaths, too many drinks and a constant dance on the thin line to insanity. They have to say goodbye to the man who was once there, right in the middle, when the bond between them all formed. The chain that can never be broken.

Summary
"And that's what I'm gonna do. What I wanted to do all along. Work in the States, in a hospital."
That last night in Korea, she was so sure of it. Find some stability. Put down roots. Make a life for herself on her own terms. Maybe find someone to share all those moments with.
But then came the nightmares that didn't want to let go. The memories. The echoes of cries for God. Or mercy. Or mother. The rest of the world that moved on while the few of them were stuck in a torn country, in the shambles of a war.
And then there is the impossible man with the blue eyes and the safe arms. The one who understands. But they are two very different people who would never work in the real world. Would they?Bookmarked by rienma

There’s an open footlocker on the floor by Pierce’s feet, and as BJ watches he folds a patterned silk robe and tucks it away.

Summary
When her father cancels their plans to meet in Tokyo, something shifts in Margaret. A door opens. A voice from deep within, one she has tried her best to quell for so many years, gets louder and louder. The voice asking questions, questions with edges sharp enough to draw blood. Why doesn't he see, why didn't he stay, why is she never his first choice? Is the path her father set her out on a long time ago really the one she wants to keep walking? And once that door opens, it's impossible to force shut again.
Set during the end of the show, this story explores how Margaret came to make the decision to go back to work in the States, in a hospital, and finally step out from under the shadow of her father.
