Richard Faulkes didn't want to fight a war. He wanted to live out his days peacefully in London, watching out for others and doing whatever made people smile. Peter and Katherine wanted just the same. But someone started a war, and they had to do their part to stop it. None were grumbling about that.
Seems everyone got a war whether they wanted it or not.
Even with one of their number out of the country, Peter, Richard, and Katherine don't plan on leaving anyone alone. Despite the Blitz and the miles, some would say that the trio were closer than they'd ever been. And no one denied that they were closer to the suffering people around them.
|"After all this, and I'm sure you'll both agree with me, I don't think wars are fought with guns and bombs after all. I've done much more caring for others than fighting for them. I think I prefer it."|

Second Chances
This is Alexander Strolif's story. One day he was an ordinary boy helping his family make ends meet and the next he was a soldier in World War ll. It was one of the most tragic events in the 20th century. Hitler's army was advancing and taking siege of most of Europe before America intervened in 1941. A year before America began to fight, Amsterdam was siezed but not without a fight.---Alexander had high expectations for his life like anyone would but he never got a chance to live out those expectations. "I was given a second chance to live. I never knew why; all I knew is that I was. I didn't know that when I saw that brilliant white light everything that I knew was about to change. Now, I've been alive for almost half a century. Do you believe me?" Will Alexander discover why he was saved? Who is he telling his story to?

. *. ⋆ 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.

Good luck homing pigeon
"Once upon a time, my entire world seemed like a dream. It was no wonder they called Paris the city of love; because sometimes, you just couldn't help but love it. No matter how much it rejected, betrayed, and turned us away, I would always love Paris the way I remembered it. Before it was stolen from us." Kate was grateful she got to have one good birthday. One, last good memory before it all happened. Before the German soldiers performed one of the biggest round-ups, known to World war two. Before nearly forty thousand Jews were deported from Paris. Before Kate, and her family were kicked out of their own city, their own country, and shipped to one of the most notorious concentration camps in Poland. Despite their ill luck, Kate remains forever hopeful. But even the hopeful aren't entirely naïve. Ever since she was a child, Kate has always wanted to be a hero. One of the heroines in her stories, to be specific. But what she doesn't know yet is that she is destined to become part of something bigger. With a boy she gradually realises she's in love with, and newfound friends in unexpected places, can Kate set out to save those she loves and more? Or will her decisions render the lives of not only thousands, but her own?Complete
North Road {HS}
His eyes are a shade of green I can't quite put a name to. Muddy, overwhelming, pain might come close, and maybe that's why it seems so familiar. Because his arms, clad in the faded homespun my mother once made, feel like home. He's a sad, lovely song I don't know the words too but long with every ounce of my being to sing. ----------------------------- It's 1918 and an entire generation is aching in its very bones. Love and loss are bedfellows. Sometimes in the aftermath of death things grow and in the aftermath of war is life. ----------------------------- Harry Styles/ Emilia Clarke/ Sam Claflin/ Lily James (#1 in WW1)Complete![Only a Paper Moon [ Band of Brothers ] 3](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/221647748-256-k464383.jpg)
