I wrote The Charioteer (Book by Mary Renault) fanfiction.
Here is the summary:
The war is over, but peace comes with its own battles.
Laurie, restless after years of hospital wards and uncertainty, and Ralph, steady but scarred by his past, try to build a life together in a small cottage on the windswept coast.
Between leaking roofs, stormy nights, and awkward trips to the village, they discover that domestic life requires a different kind of courage—the courage to stay, to share space, and to let themselves be known.
With wit, warmth, and the occasional disaster in the kitchen, The Cottage by the Sea follows Laurie and Ralph as they learn that love is found not only in grand gestures, but in teapots, laundry lines, and the quiet rhythm of ordinary days.
