M*A*S*H (television)/Fanfic Recs

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for M*A*S*H (television) Fan Fics, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in a certain 'fic, based on who recommended it.

Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found below. Make sure you sign your recommendation! No-name recommendations may be deleted at other tropers' leisure. Do warn when a fanfic includes sexual situations.[1] Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business. Likewise, warn if it may head into non-canon territory.

Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Recommendations Template

Title of the Fanfic by Author OR Fic Trope Page, by Author (Link)

  • Recommended by: Troper Name[2]
  • Synopsis: What's the story about? Give here a brief summary of the plot. It would be also useful to point out in what moment of the series the story takes place. If it's a Gen Fic but it has some romantic elements, note here the characters involved too.
  • Pairing(s): If it's a Shipping Fic, list here the pairings that feature in the fic (warn here if it's het, male slash or female slash). If it's a Gen Fic, remove this line. To tell the difference between the two, notice if the focus of the fic is on a romantic relationship or if it focuses on the other aspects of the story. In case of doubt, classify the story according to the genres it's been tagged: the Romance tag for Shipping, absence of that tag for Gen Fic.
  • Tags: If any are known. This would be things like WAFF, Lemon, Dark Fic, any Trigger Warnings, etc. This is also where you would put character names with Characterization Tags if doing so would be equally indicative. ("uber!Harry" for Harry Potter, for instance.)
  • Comments: If you want to say something more about why you're recommending the fic, but please, keep it brief. We don't want Conversation in the Main Page.

I Hear the Rotors Still by "Blinky the Tree Frog"

  • Recommended by: Looney Toons
  • Crossover with: X-Men
  • Synopsis: An elderly man appears at the gates of Xavier's school, and insists on speaking with the X-Men.
  • Comments: Not many people remember it, but Radar O'Reilly was a telepath and a precognitive -- more so in the original book and film, but still so in the series, at least early on. In this brilliant one-shot short, he hears the rotors again, only this time for mutants... and he wants to help.


Best Care Anywhere by TDWidow

  • Recommended by: Looney Toons
  • Crossover with: Harry Potter
  • Symopsis: A time-turner accident flings Fred and George Weasley across decades and thousands of miles, and lands them at the 4077th M*A*S*H in Korea in 1951. While trying to devise a way to return to their own time and place, they make unexpected friends and allies...
  • Comments: This is an interesting work where Fred and George find themselves forced to be the serious ones around a band of jokers -- and find an unexpected wizard to aid them in their efforts to get home. In progress as it is, I'm not even sure we've seen the primary conflict of the story emerge yet. Definitely worth a look. However, as of 2023 it is incomplete with 18 chapters, the last of which was released in 2020.
