I'm just now getting through the Heavy Artillery holiday exchange fic, but I adored this introspective scene. Dick goes to find Nixon at a Catholic church on Christmas Eve, and they discuss love and war and guilt and grief while the choir sings.

It’s Christmas Eve and Dick Winters is more than a little irritated. There’s a house still to decorate, presents left to wrap, and Lewis Nixon nowhere to be found. The discovery he makes in his search for him is not one he expected.
A quiet Christmas story about love making itself known in the most unlikely of ways.
