I’ll Be Home for Christmas
by The_Whistler
...If only in my dreams...The robots are away at war on a particularly difficult Christmas. They just need to find the time to convince one of their group to grieve for what’s been lost... and keep from losing still more.Warnings: Canon “male” presenting Rabbit will have the pronouns that would have been used at the time. Also Rabbit calls the Germans Krauts because I always figure Rabbit is flip and kinda rude that way. My relatives are German and we casually call them Krauts, too, for what that's worth, so I hope it's not nore offensive to people actually in Germany. And Bob Hope was actually on the other side of the world at this time in 1943, where he did a holiday broadcast instead, so I have taken significant license with events.Song version referenced: https://youtu.be/dL71eMc1blw
