Summary
This story is set in a world inspired by the 1927 silent film Wings, where Jean and Marco, are intertwined in the same story of war, love, and sacrifice.
In this AU, Jean and Marco are pilots during a large-scale war. The plot borrows heavily from the emotional dynamics and narrative structure of Wings, with the characters facing both the external pressures of being soldiers in a war and the internal struggles of navigating their personal relationships. The film's original love triangle between Jack, David, and Mary is translated into the relationship dynamic between Jean, Marco, and the women waiting for them back home.

Summary
It was a decision that Jean would come to regret—getting entangled with them in the first place. Deep down, a gnawing feeling told him he was headed for trouble.

Summary
There were a few older men spread across the crowd, most without rings on their withered fingers, but the thought of being a trophy for those aged and likely old fashioned gentlemen made his skin crawl. Marco was willing to put out for money, and whatever might come with it, so he supposed having standards didn’t necessarily mean he was being picky, per se.
One, no man who looked over his father's age; Two, no one who looked too drunk to make any sort of impulse financial decisions. That was reasonable, he thought; it was the bare minimum at least.
