Hello I am delving back into fic after like 8 years lol (we call that depression), Iâm looking for a fic that Iâm 90% sure loadedgunn was writing but I assume deleted/didnât finish bc I canât find it anywhere. It was like 1940s au, I think larry were childhood friends/grew up together, I think they were poor and in the UK, I think one of them went off to war? Do you have any idea? Does anyone have any idea?
Hi darling. Oh, I donât remember LoadedGunn writing anything like that. đ¤đ¤đ¤
But maybe youâre thinking of this one?

Harry has never been much of a fighter, butâas alwaysâwhere Louis Tomlinson is concerned, a lot of things stop being true.
1940's AU. Even after six years apart, they can't forget their shared wartime childhood
Thereâs also this one, which is lovely. But I think itâs the first youâre looking for.

âWhy did you talk like that in Brighton? If you werenât planning on ever telling me?â Louis asked. âIs it because you think youâre going to die?â
âItâs war, Lou,â Harry said finally.
The words were a knife slipped between his ribs. Everything hurt and he was bleeding. He shifted up, his palms cradling Harryâs jaw, his lips against his boyâs. Not kissing, just resting there, so Louis could feel him. âPromise youâll come back to me.â
Harryâs hands smoothed down the sides of Louisâ body. âYou know I canât do that. Iâll never lie to you.â
âPromise me. Weâre going to have our cottage. And our dogs. And our breakfast in the garden where nothing grows because of the wind from the sea. Promise me.â
âI wonât.â Stubborn as always, his boy. âIâll promise you, Iâll love you all my life. Iâll promise you, youâll never leave my thoughts. Iâll promise you, youâre my forever and my always. But promising you something I canât cheapens the things I can.â
Or the World War II AU where Harry goes off to fight and all Louis wants to do is be the boy who brings him home.
