𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 - j. brady [masters of the air]
. *. ⋆ Simone Adler was 23 years old when she decided she'd do all she could to help bring the war to an end- to do that, she studied and trained for hours a day, multiple days a week, her efforts being given to becoming a nurse. A flight nurse, specifically, where she'd be on board with the men, aiding them when needed, her skills there to help save lives that would be lost if she weren't on board. Through this process, Simone met the men she would be stationed with, being those of the 100th Bomb Group. They all seemed okay in Simone's opinion- except for one, that is. John D. Brady, the bane of her existence- he was insufferable, always cranky, and for some reason hated her before she could even have a real conversation with him. The hatred was mutual, of course- however, the hatred was quick to morph into something different, something more friendly after the two encountered near-death situations. It was something that resembled love- something that was love, and it was so very clearly the one thing that was destined to save them in the end.

Edelweiss || Bucky x Reader
"A gift." One guard says to someone else in the room as he leaves. I groan in pain and scrunch myself into a ball, squeezing my eyes shut. Seconds later I hear shuffling and then someone is beside me. "Y/N?" Asks a voice. No- Bucky's voice. My whole body relaxes and I let out a soft breath. He's ok. ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Staying together has always been the most important thing to Y/N Rogers. After the death of her mother left her an orphaned 15-year-old, her friendship with her older brother Steve and best friend Bucky mattered more than ever. She latched onto them, finding some bittersweet solace in their closeness. In turn, they finished raising her. The three were inseparable. Even now, six years later, nothing has changed. So when Bucky and Steve both leave to fight in the war the last thing she's going to do is stay in Brooklyn. Nothing's too far if it keeps their trio together. Not leaving everything she knows behind, not shoving down feelings she's refused to acknowledge for years, not even risking her life time and time again. It's the kind of commitment fueled by an infinite amount of love, but guaranteed to end in disaster, every single time.

Letters to History
Born to the wind on an Iowa plain, Where the cornfields sway and whisper names, He came of age as the world went dark, With fire in his soul and a patriot's heart. December skies in '41- Pearl was struck, and the world undone. On the very day he turned eighteen, He signed his name, joined the machine. Not for glory or a flag unfurled- But to fight the evil in the world. From the Seventh to the Seventy-First, He carried a weight that only grew worse. Busted down for a righteous blow- A brother in arms laid low for woe. He saw a girl-young, Black, and scared, And struck the one who didn't care. Not all battles are waged with guns- Some are fought when the right's undone. Son of Alfred, soldier and shield, Who fought in France, then walked the beat, Whose badge gave law, whose cancer stole- Allman bore that father's soul. Elaine, his mother, soft but steel, Taught him how to stand and feel. He marched through Europe's shattered bones, With dreams of home and gravel roads. Brothers in arms, some lost, some saved- He buried many, dug many graves. But never did he lose his grip On what was just, or let it slip. Klink-a name from the Prussian line, Now forged in stars and battle signs. He carried old blood, and a newer creed: That no man should suffer for another's greed. So raise a glass to Iowa's son- Who fought for peace with fists and guns. The war may end, but tales still link The strength and fire of Allman Klink.Complete
