"Why wasn't it you - why did you get to come back instead of him? What granted you the right to come and take his place, while his body is rotting in a pine box six  feet under the frozen ground!" 

John Egan made a promise to his best friend, Gale Cleven during their time in Stalag Luft - a promise that would tear down and build up Carolina Cleven's  world as she knew it.

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 Abbots 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. ᴊᴏʜɴ ʙʀᴀᴅʏ x ғᴇᴍ!ᴏᴄ ••• !!𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐎𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 '𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐢𝐫', 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧!! ©-delic8lcver 2024

"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.

White - purity, faithfulness, and commitment. Dare stained it and everything will be shaky, leaving a casualty. When breaking a bone, perhaps it will still be mended. But will it be the same as before? For Solis, it will never be. It is penned forever in history. For how many years, she established a foundation of love with her husband, Hayland. Then one day, strings suddenly twisted. None of them can tell if they can still save their five years of marriage from a three-week storm surge. She's trying to understand and acknowledge the pain. He's trying to correct what is now a shattered piece.
