[Were either you or Alphinaud in the mood to receive the opening chapters of an ongoing AU fic about doctors? That's what's in this manila envelope, complete with light novel-style illustrations. Though neither of them is portrtayed as a day older than they are at present, Alphinaud is a newly-qualified medic who is shipped out to serve as a surgeon in a curiously ill-defined war, where he meets the battle-hardened, cynical, chain-smoking Okitsu and sparks, predictably, fly as the two clash over pretty much everything fromn patient care to the best way to cook eggs. Supporting characters include chief of surgery Zhongli, flirtatious nurses Alizarin and Venti, and Alisaie the medevac pilot.]
