Summary
Neither Ben nor Callum ever thought the war would bring anything but destruction, but with the help of each other and friends can they see that life doesn't have to be perfect to be worth living? I'm horrific at summaries but yeah, basically a ww2 fic with love and some semblance of philosophy to tie it all together lmaoSet in early-mid 1944!
