Warnings: It’s war, folks. Major character deaths (but with a hopeful, positive ending). Jensen has permanent injuries (amputated legs). Passing mentions of war related things; Nazis, Bolsheviks, internment camps, homophobia, etc.

Story Summary: Jensen Ackles had only fallen in love once in his life, and that was with someone he’d never met. Now in his twilight years, he tells the story of how he fell in love with Polish bomber pilot, Jared Padalecki. It is a tale of courage, loss, supressed desires and ultimately, redemption.
Acknowledgements. Massive thanks to my artist, mella68 , for the lovely art she did to go with my story. It fits so perfectly I couldn’t have been happier. You need to go and show your appreciation for her work HERE, right now!
Also thank you to my beta downjune, and to my two language advisors, judith_88_g and Elisa Andersen. They pointed me in the right direction - hopefully that is where I ended up, but any deviations from the path are all my own fault! The historical note and info about the research I did is all at the end of the fic, together with translations of the Polish and Danish phrases I used.
And finally, thank you to queenmidalah for organising the history_bigbang challenge!
