Can some one give me a list of awesome/the best stories related to Don't Ask, Don't Tell Stories?

Thank You

Honestly, the only one I can think of at the moment is "Permission to recover" by Cheyne Curry. But that takes place in the 70's and isn't so much Don't Ask, Don't Tell as it's Don't tell because we're asking and we'll kick you out and do some nasty things to ya if we hear even a whisper.

But here it is nonetheless http://xenafiction.net/scrolls/chene_curry_permission_to_recover1.html

It should be noted that "Permission to recover" isn't a romance story in a military setting, but rather a military story with a little bit of romance in it. It's there, but no way near the focus of the story.

It's odd. I thought I'd have more stories to mention but I'm drawing a blank.

Two stories that start out Don't ask Don't Tell and lead to romance are Larisa's Semper Fi and Rangerliz's Drango Gap both good stories.Both can be found on the Athenaeum. Pips.

The XO by C. Paradee
A story about a soldier and a new officer trying to deal with their increasing attraction to each other depsite the miliary being against it.

Faithful Service, Silent Hearts by Lynette Mae
Devon James is a young military intelligence officer learning that finding love under any circumstances is difficult. But when your love is expressly forbidden by regulations and you are pursued by a relentless zealot, it can seem impossible. When Devon's assignment takes her to the war torn Middle East in the early days of terrorists targeting Americans, then things really get interesting.

Sergeant of the Heart by C. E. Gray

That Was Then, This Is Now by J Rosestar
In 1976, a young woman, stationed at a military base questions her sexual orientation. She asks some lesbian friends if she can accompany them to a secret, hidden lesbian bar – long before "don't ask, don't tell." This leads to an encounter that changes her life.

Desert Hawk Series by Archangel

Icehole by Kiera Dellacroix, not really DADT buy Military. However I don't think it's posted any longer. But you may have some luck finding it.

-Ernie Whiting has a series with X&G reincarnated into today Military. That is here at the Athenaeum.

~ Finding Your Heart ~by planetsolin here on the Athenaeum

First of all thanks to everyone. I am going to read all the stories and then get back to you about how i found them.

@Laziel : I started reading "Permission to recover" by Cheyne Curry, but as you said its more of a military story with a sprinkling of Romance and it couldn't hold my attention.

Try Desert Dreams by Kennedy Northcutt. It is fantastic - humor, action, romance and well written to top it all off. Hope this fits your bill.
