Katerina sees him in her dreams just about every night, but is he really just imaginary?

The war is over, but it's not over for Harry. His experience haunts him relentlessly and he's changed more than he ever thought possible. In his mind, it's hopeless to think about getting better, but what happens when his friends drag him to a show featuring an American singer named Lola Simmons? What happens when their worlds collide and she changes his life for the better? What happens when he unintentionally triggers a change in her too? *Idea and cover credit to the lovely @hope_moore !*

He's lost his best friend and his will to be happy. She's got a heart of gold with more than enough room for the boy everyone avoided.

"She lays down on the bedroom floor The chemicals that make her love don't seem to be working anymore"-The 1975 Her fingers hover over the keypad, desperate to say something but not knowing at all what to say. There are so many things that she wants to say to him, so many things that she'd already said aloud and that she'd talked herself into saying to make sure he knew how much he'd hurt her, how much he was still hurting her. But it was pointless. He doesn't want to listen and he hardly even cares. She's just wasting her breath like he's wasting her time.

Art is whatever we want it to be. It's definition malleable as it passes through person to person. The same can be said about aesthetics. As human beings, we are all different and find beauty in many things and what we define as beautiful differs from person to person, young and old, meek and bold. Art is equal to beauty, it is unique to the individual and special to those who can see the passion behind it. Carter shows her art by leaving indelible ink stains on people's skin, a mark that can never be erased: the mark of her masterpiece. Harry, on the other hand, spreads art wherever he goes with a simple gesture, kind words, and, of course, the ink on his skin. She's looking to make her mark. He's looking to win her heart. ©StylisticMoods2015 Edited and Revised August-September 2016

He told her he loved her two winters later. Three days later, he was sent off to fight in the second World War, leaving her with a promise that she would hold on to for the rest of her life: "And, no matter what happens to me out there, just remember that I will love you endlessly, even if I don't make it home to you."

"Aren't you afraid?" "Of what? Dying?" "Yes, exactly that." She took a moment to deliberately pick the right words in her mind because she knew he was going to ask why the moment after she answered, "No. Death is unavoidable, it's a part of life that is inescapable since birth. It's written in our very nature. The problem is that people spend too much time worrying about death and not living their lives to their fullest potential. We were born to both live and die and that seems to be forgotten somewhere along the way. I am not afraid of dying even though I could die at any given day at any given time because I'm making the most of my life and I know that something better awaits me when I go." [Edited!]

She took a drag from her cigarette and shrugged, "I'm okay with that." He was angry now and pushed her against the wall, hands splayed on either side of her head, "Why!?" His eyes bore into hers and she began to cry, "Because you only love me like this..." When he didn't answer, she continued, "Your love is the only drug that I crave and I just want you to want me."

"You don't have to know someone to fall in love with them. You can fall in love with the way they talk to others, look at others. Hell, you don't even have to talk to them to fall in love with them. Sometimes, you just look at them, you look at how they smile and how they laugh and how their eyes have a sort of glow in them and suddenly you just know. It doesn't matter how long you've known them, or if you even know them at all. You just feel it. And you know. You're in love."
