Today was an unexpected!Easy day, apparently. I'm in the middle of rereading Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series (which, I know, seems kind of uncharacteristic for a lover of gay sci-fi, but whatever, I have a massive crush on Clark and Chavez, and Clancy writes political thrillers like nobody's business). And there on p.385 of Without Remorse:
"I didn't like Europe all that much myself, but I didn't see the nice parts."
"What outfit?"
"Easy Company, Second of the Five-Oh-Sixth."
"Airborne. One-Oh-One, right?"
"All the way, doc," the detective said, confirming that he too had once been young and foolish, and remembering how skinny he'd been, leaping out the cargo doors of C-47s. "I jumped into Normandy and Eindhoven."
"And Bastogne?"
Ryan nodded. "That really wasn't fun, but at least we went in by truck."


Jack Ryan's dad was Easy! FANDOM COLLISION WHAT. I've decided he was clearly buddies with Babe Heffron.

And then I got a new Netflix disc in the mail, and which episode of Life am I up to? YEAH THAT ONE. Muck! Charlie Crews wants to jump out of an airplane! WHAT.

It's one of those days, clearly.

Lolwut. Is it just me, or does it seem kinda Gary-Stuish making a character related to one of Easy? They were hardly the only airborne company in the war!

(Though, yeah, that does just beg for crossover fic.)

Eh, maybe, but whatever, it's still amusing. :)

I always preferred the John Clark novels to the Jack Ryan ones. Without Remorse is still the best book Clancy ever wrote.

ANYTHING with Clark is awesome. His bits are the best parts of the Ryan books, too.

I still want the one where Sam Seaborn is Webster's nephew or something, because I maintain they are pretty in a similar way. Also, ridiculous.
