Request 1: Band of Brothers ficlets, art, or icons for any of the following pairings: Winters/Nixon, Liebgott/Webster, Babe/Roe. Canon era is preferred. Gen is great too. DNW: character death, unhappy endings, hurt with no comfort.

Request 2: The Pacific ficlets, art, or icons for Haldane/Jones. I would definitely prefer fix-its or something that stops short of their unhappy ending. Canon era is preferred. Gen is great too. DNW: focus on character deaths.

Request 5: Doctor Who ficlets, art, or icons of Thirteen and/or Thirteen/Yaz

WWII historical fiction recs

[personal profile] lirin_lirilla 2020-01-06 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
A couple of more-or-less obscure upper-grade children's book recs for you!

Searching for Shona (1978), by Margaret J. Anderson - In 1939, a girl is supposed to be evacuated to stay with distant family in Canada, but on impulse she swaps places and identities with Shona, a girl from an orphanage being evacuated to the south of Scotland. Very sweet.

Enemy Brothers (1943), by Constance Savery - I...actually haven't gotten around to reading this yet (I've been saving it for when I need a treat!), but my younger siblings recommend it highly. And I love the other books by Constance Savery that I have read (like The Reb and the Redcoats, American Revolution fiction that I also recommend), so I'd be sure it was good even if I didn't have their assurances. Enemy Brothers is about two brothers, one of whom was raised in Germany to be in favor of their national ideals at the time, and the other of whom remained in England and tries to win his brother back. The book was actually written during World War II.

Thank you for the recs! I've never heard of these before but I'll definitely look into them.
