[tGE] Remembrance Day (gen, Louis)

[valmora]

Not 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.

Aaaaah, yes. I'd forgotten that. I wish we'd gotten farther, but you're right in that it's a good start.

....The AU characters are just getting more and more crazy, y'know? ::laughs::
