It all started with the Blitz of 1940.  Samuel Wright was a normal ten year old English boy residing in the suburban neighborhood of London, but that all changes when the hostile bomber planes of the Nazi Luftwaffe roar overhead and lay a deadly blanket of bombs over London.  His life changed that day.  After coming out of the cellar, Jonathan his father makes a disheartening decision to join the resistance.  Jonathan is pulled from the ranks of the terrified masses into the masses of the combatants dead set on bringing salvation to wartime Europe.  Follow Samuel as he tries to remain a normal boy, and how that is challenged by multiple bombings, new economic policies restricting him, and the absence of his father.  Also follow Jonathan Wright, a thirty-six year old man from the beginnings of boot camp, to the vestiges of combat where humanity and benevolence have all but disappeared.

-This story is one that will make you consider what life is and it will take you into the minds of people who are struggling against the depressing inhumanities of war, and the realization that their loved ones might not return home.

"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.

"I hate you for one thing Emilia, and that's for making me love you so much that if I let you go, I'll be lost without you." - John D. Brady 𓆩✶𓆪 𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐌𝐜𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐀 was deemed to be a sweetheart in the eyes of others who met her, but in the eyes of John Brady she was an itch he couldn't scratch. During her time at Thorpe Abbotts Emilia grew a strong dislike to John Brady, his grumpy and stubborn attitude towards her made her feel irritated. The tension between them was palpable, yet, over time, as they saved each other's lives and saw past the tough exteriors, their respect for one another grew. And despite their initial hatred, an undeniable attraction simmered beneath the surface.
