    Summary

    There he is. Anthony Havers, frozen in time. He's handsome, more handsome than he's ever been if that's even possible. The Captain's stomach does a flip. His sandy-brown hair is slicked neatly to the side, unveiling that glorious scar that darts through his eyebrow and down his cheek. His deep brown eyes are pooled with an array of emotions, just like they were in 1945. He's a remarkable image of that very day, across the grounds with that same quiet look of surprise, like he can't give too much away. He stares at the Captain like a deer in headlights.

    "Anthony..." James whispers on approach. His heart hurts again.

    "James..." Anthony responds, his parted lips forming into the most tender smile he's ever seen.

    (As the Captain grapples with his pain, Havers returns to Button House a decade later to confess his sins.

    Or,

    Havers has become a ghost and we get the angsty reunion we've all been waiting for.)

    Summary

    “You can tell me about him, if you like.”
    ***
    Time heals all wounds, but the Captain isn't exactly moving through time, anymore. As a ghost, he should be haunting, instead he finds himself haunted. By three words and a man he can't forget.
    Or,
    5 times the Captain thought about Lieutenant Havers, and 1 time he talked about him.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, the Captain had felt left behind when Havers had gone to the front and flourished as an officer. Now, he is now feeling left behind again as Havers flourishes in his afterlife whilst the Captain struggles to settle.

    Is this a battle they can win as allies, or will married life prove too much?

    Summary

    Summary

    “Nothing good will come of it. You must take that emotion and you must bury it. Never let it out.”

    The Captain is forced to confront his feelings about Havers after his old diary is discovered. He relives the past and lets it intertwine with the present as he finally learns to embrace himself, realising his story didn’t end where he thought it did. Nor did his Lieutenant’s.

    (a hearty, angsty and overly romanticised rendition of canon with a little more clarity and closure.)
