AN: AU Becker/Connor Regency romance of many clichés and unlikely shenanigans. Continues from here (warning: non-explicit non-con).

Duncan was happily drunk but it took more for Tom to forget his woes.
They’d been so proud enlisting. But then the French had proved very like themselves - they bled in the same way and they cried for their mothers when dying.
Tom had lost the use of an eye and his right arm.
Duncan said theft was wrong. Well, taking a man’s youth and health and abandoning him with no means of support was wrong.
A coat and boots and money from a stranger were nothing. They didn’t come near to payback for what had been stolen from him.
