brmqtrI wrote The Charioteer (A book by Mary Renault) fanfiction.
This is the summary:
Laurie and Ralph live quietly above a bakery, where the walls are thin and the rooms are separate. The war is over, but silence lingers — in the spaces between their hands, in the words they don’t speak aloud. They share meals, train for jobs, and learn how to stay.
Visitors come. Illness threatens. The world outside remains indifferent, offering no permission and no vocabulary for what they are. Yet through each season — through shyness and fear, through laughter and distance — something steady begins to grow.
A glance. A touch. A promise.
This Quiet Ground is a love story written in margins: soft, restrained, and enduring. It is about choosing each other, again and again, even when the world does not ask. Not a happy ending — but theirs.
