snowflake_challenge, because maybe icons you made ages ago is cheating a bit and b) this is what I did with the future fic square for trope_bingo. Hence I'm skipping it this time. If I'm going to write unnecessarily long and gloomy fic, at least I can do it for hc_bingo where you'd expect this sort of thing.
Outcomes of War (5430 words) by lost_spook
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Enemy at the Door (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Major Character Death
Relationships: Philip Martel & Dieter Richter, Ernst Freidel & Dieter Richter
Characters: Dieter Richter, Ernst Freidel, Philip Martel, Olive Martel
Additional Tags: War, World War II, Suicide, Execution, Starvation, Post-Series, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, 5 Times
Summary: "Whatever may be the abuse of man, that is the use of nature - first survive.” Three things that may have happened to Major Richter and two that definitely didn’t.
(This is what happens when people go and leave a TV show unfinished and I start looking at the history books for answers. I wasn't going to finish this, being far too late for the bingo, but it nagged at me. It's surprisingly unspoilery, but I can't imagine it'd have any appeal to anyone who hasn't seen the series. And limited appeal even then.)
I fear my next fic may only be better by virtue of being shorter, but after that I solemnly vow to try and write things that people might actually want to read. (Or, in short, I have a lot of 500 Prompts left... ;-D)

Another series I want to get into is a Russian one about a spy among the Germans,
Seventeen Moments of Spring. Several people have recced it and it's one of the most popular and best series ever made in the USSR. We got hold of it but there's a problem with the subtitles in our version at present.

(And, as you can tell from all my recent babbling, I did investigate Public Eye on the strength of it involving a lot of the same people as EatD, and I did like it! An odd show, but definitely intelligent television.)
Now I've just got to remember to watch actual up to date stuff... :loL:
