I think Code Name Verity has ruined me for all other WWII romances because each time I try to read a novel set in WWII - novels that come with recommendations! - I am terribly, terribly disappointed.

Anyone have recommendations for good WWII romantic adventure novels?

Things I like:
  • Ladies having agency and being active both within the narrative and within the world they're living in.
  • Attractive gentleman who like ladies with agency.
  • Actions! Adventure! Air raids! Passion! Longing!
Things I don't like:
  • "romantic heroes" who have to be convinced that the heroine is his equal.
  • the author's religious beliefs dripping from every page.

(Seriously, prompt, none of my fandoms are represented at the moment.)

Robot Trip

Go read this right now and then come back and talk to me about how amazing Tony and Pepper are. Okay, okay, this fic is actually about Tony driving Dummy cross-country and Steve tagging along but the best moments are the briefs sections of Tony/Pepper (imho). They're quippy and delightful.
