    Summary

    For all intents and purposes, Gus died in the operation Aquatint. The war raged on, and the men he left behind did their best to live and fight on.

    But now the war is over, and Gus is back. The past, however, cannot be rewritten, and the broken remnants of his team cannot be put back together. Or can they?

    Summary

    “Not you again,” Gus said when the annoyingly familiar silhouette appeared in the door to the cellar.
    Appleyard glared at him, and fell down the stairs.

    Gus and Apple meet at Dunkirk. It's not really in a foxhole, and it's not quite for the first time.

    Dunkirk and London and Cairo, and it seems they are stuck there - perhaps quite literally.

    Summary

    We spent two weeks together in a Dunkirk foxhole, and if it wasn't for Apple, I'd still be there today.

    Its the spring of 1940, the Nazis are steamrolling France, and Gus meets Apple during the chaotic retreat to Dunkirk.
    A tale of two men, their truck, and a lot of dead Nazis. Or, friendships (and more) are best formed under pressure.

    Summary

    “Dunno if I believe in all of that one person made for you nonsense, chap.”
    “What do you believe in, then, Freddy?”
    “Hard work, I reckon,” he muses. “None of this ‘love at first sight’ nonsense. Interest. Attraction, sure,” he glances at Anders. “But I think love needs to be nourished, worked on, fought for if it is ever to take hold the way the old stories paint it, yeah?”
    “For you, Freddy,” Anders murmurs, eyes twinkling. “I would toil away the rest of my life under the scorching sun in the most barren desert just for the gift of your kiss.”
    Freddy’s lips twitch like he desperately wants to give in to the smile hidden there, the one that Anders can see clear as a bright sunny day back home.
