Fics like Sweet Little Lies

Repatriation is slow, and a year after he’d finally read those words, those wonderful, terrifying words (War over stop. Nazi forces surrendered stop. Await further instructions stop.) he’s still in Paris, watching the remains of the French nation attempt to rebuild their once great city. When he can’t stand it any longer, he flees into the countryside. He runs into them quite by chance, something stirring in his memory, round sunglasses perched at the tip of a nose, green bowler hats. The marketplace continues to bustle around him as he stops dead in his tracks, something familiar from a lifetime ago settling in the back of his mind, and there's a vague recognition in his eyes from that time on the air ship. The music playing loud, weaving through dim lights and silhouettes and champagne glasses. He'd slipped away, only to find a friend of Nina's outside. Miles. But you can call me sweetheart, if you’re good, he'd said, eyes shining. They'd stood outside and smoked, talked, kisses pressed to his cheeks and the occasional outrageous comment made until his- his friend had carried him away. It had been simply magical.
