valmoraNot mine. All to MGM/UA and Paul Brickhill.
It's been long enough that Louis forgets, in the bustle of nephews and friends and living. Forgets the still dust of the German summer, dry above the ground and damp and cold beneath it.
Well, perhaps not forgets. There are moments when his eyes unfocus, his vision blurring - he has become so old, in the years since - and he almost thinks that Mac is there, trudging down the other side of the street, or that Cavendish is the pipe smoker beside him at the newsstand. He knows better, of course, but for that moment, he believes they're ghosts.
Better to keep remembrance to one day a year. Roger won, and to waste the victory on regret is an insult to them all.

I thought we had a good start with the little Ashley-Pitt RP thing that we did via email... ^-^
I mean.... Ehehehe. ::Sheepish laughter::
XD I said slightly, not "lots." But do keep in mind that one probably doesn't get promoted very quickly in the Navy if one falls to pieces all the time...

True about the Navy. Ah well. We could save the nuerosis for the AU. But I know what you mean. I'm mostly joking. Mostly. XD
