WARNINGS/TRIGGERS/AUTHORS NOTES: This story is a sequel to Dropping the Formalities, and the second installment of my canon-divergence AU about James surviving the war and keeping his promise to Albert and their developing relationship, where James allows himself to let his guard down and accept comfort from the strong-minded and determined country boy that is Albert.

“James?” Albert doesn’t really expect an answer when he first calls that name without raising his voice from outside the house. “James?” he calls a little louder, a little more insistent, reaching up and pressing a hand against the chapped door. A small smile comes to his lips when the door comes ajar at the slightest push, and he peeks his head inside for a moment before he decides to slide into the living room.
The floorboards creak under his feet, and that makes his smile grow as he recalls James’s strange observation about that from the last time they had seen each other, preferring to focus on how endearing the sudden comment had been rather than the circumstances that had taught the other man to pay such close attention to that kind of thing. Albert is about to call the other man’s name again when he hears a thud from the next room.
“Ah, bugger,” a voice that definitely belongs to James mutters a second later, and Albert shakes his head with a chuckle just before James walks out into the living room. “Albert?” he asks with both eyebrows raised in surprise, his lips turning up in a bright smile that, for a moment, makes him look less tired. “I heard someone coming in, then had the impression of hearing your voice, but I thought I might’ve been–…”
TITLE OF STORY: Dropping the Formalities
CHAPTER NUMBER/TITLE/ONE SHOT: One Shot
AUTHOR:pledgetoyoumyundyingfidelity
WHICH TOM/CHARACTER: Captain James Nicholls
STORY GENRE: Romance, Fluff, Erotica
STORY SUMMARY:
“I promise you, man to man, that I’ll look after him as closely as you’ve done. I’ll respect him and all the care that you’ve taken with him. And if I can, I’ll return him to your care.”
Captain James Nicholls survives the war and comes back to Devon to return Joey to Albert, who never enlisted to fight and stayed in the farm. What could a promise made years ago lead to?
STORY RATING: Explicit
STORY WARNINGS/TRIGGERS/AUTHORS NOTES: I’ve been craving some canon divergence story where James doesn’t die in the war and gets to keep his promise to return Joey to Albert for years, and even more so since the last time I rewatched the movie recently. A story where they meet again after those four years of war… but I just could never find something that was exactly what I wanted. So I figured, why not take matters into my own hands?
This story includes light dom/sub elements (sub!James), frottage, barebacking, butter being used as lube, orgasm delay, orgasm control, and implied or referenced character death (not Albert or James).
FEEDBACK/COMMENTS: I honestly hope you guys like this story, and kudos/comments are love!

“I made you a promise,” Nicholls says in response to his comment, the tone firm and leaving no room for questions. “I promised that I would return him to your care if I could.” With those words, he reaches over and pets Joey’s nose with what looks to be a sad smile. “Such a brave horse you’ve got, Albert. He was the finest in our unit, and the best companion a man could have asked for in the field.”
“Captain Nicholls?” Albert starts, but is quickly interrupted.
“James.” Captain Nicholls turns to look at him just in time to see Albert quirk an eyebrow. “I’m sorry for the interruption. I just meant to say you can call me James. Please drop the formalities. I’m here as a friend.”
