The war overseas may be over, but the war on our shores has just begun...
Britain is forever changed and trying to rebuild in the aftermath of WW2. It's a time for celebration of the victory, solemnity for those lost and depending on community now more than ever to thrive in a new global market.
Despite everything against her, Ruth Fraser managed to make a name for herself during the War, even if it meant putting her love life on hold. Now that the world seems to be righting itself again, Lieutenant Thomas Murray seems to fall straight into her lap.
But whilst Britain's record for fight for what is right during the War looks great in the history books, these ideologies don't seem to filter through back on shore and Tommy and Ruth's interracial relationship causes issues in their community. Can they make it together?

THE BRIDGE BETWEEN US
A story of heartbreak, healing, and the love you never saw coming. Zarra Reynolds had it all figured out-until the man she trusted most shattered her world. After eight years together, James Moseley wasn't just her partner-he was her friend, her lover, her future. But when he suggested opening their relationship, Zarra's heart whispered no... and her instincts were right. One night changed everything. Blindsided by betrayal, Zarra stumbles-literally-into a stranger in a stairwell while trying to escape the wreckage of her love life. He's sharp-tongued, stoic, and unexpected. But behind that steel gaze lies someone who sees her in a way James never did. Now, on the verge of her 50th birthday, Zarra is forced to start over. Between therapy sessions, painful memories, and quiet mornings alone with her coffee, she never expected to feel anything for anyone again. But that stranger? He keeps showing up in her thoughts, in her life, and maybe, just maybe, in her heart. What if the love that heals you comes after the one that broke you? For fans of second chances, slow burns, and fierce women who choose themselves first.Complete
The War She Painted| ✓
Set against the ravaged landscape of World War II Europe, The War She Painted follows Zora Lenz, a biracial German woman whose life unravels under the Nazi regime. Born in Berlin to a German painter and a French-Senegalese mother, Zora once lived a quiet, art-filled life with her husband Wilhelm Weiss and their young son, Lukas. But when Wilhelm joins the SS and renounces her to preserve his status, Zora is torn from her family, her son seized, and her identity erased. Branded as "impure," Zora is arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she endures forced labor, starvation, and dehumanization. There, she learns the language of survival, silence, endurance, and clings to fragments of hope. Her memories of Lukas keep her alive through nights of horror in the camp's brothel, where she becomes both prisoner and pawn in a machinery of cruelty designed to erase women like her. When she catches the attention of the Kommandant, a cold, enigmatic man who both despises and is fascinated by her, Zora's fate takes a twisted turn. He removes her from the camp, claiming to need her artistic skill, and brings her to his estate. What follows is a haunting, psychological entanglement, an uneasy coexistence between victim and captor, built on power, obsession, and a strange, reluctant empathy. As the war's end approaches and Germany begins to burn from within, Zora is drawn into a web of impossible choices between vengeance and forgiveness, love and freedom, captivity and escape.Complete

Tommy Shelby ~ Between the Walls and the Whiskey
Cecilia Clark didn't cross the ocean for trouble and certainly not for love, yet both welcome her to Small Heath Birmingham through the cold blue gaze of Thomas Shelby. When the bar maid proves to be much more than an extra set of hands, Tommy learns the true meaning of love with a broken heart. In honor of this final season, I decided to post the very first fic I ever wrote, all the way back in 2015! Thats how inspired I was by those brilliant blue eyes and that beautifully sad man who still could scare everyone in the room. Thanks for absolutely crushing our hearts while being the baddest boy on the block Mr. Shelby, I can't wait to see how you'll devastate us in season 6. (no spoilers please!) Warnings: 18+ M/f, VERY explicit sexual content throughout, threats of violence, attempted rape, blood/violence, language, heavy drinking/smoking, period typical views of race, period typical views of assaultComplete
Drizzled (BWWM)
It's the 1950s and interracial love still isn't accepted. Despite that Addy finds herself being relentlessly chased by Blake, the typical all American boy. Due to trying to make this story as historically accurate as I can, there are racial slurs in this narrative. In addition to those there are also mature sexual themes.Complete
