Not a ship book (sorry) After graduating from the best Western University there is to offer, Germany, an aspiring historian with about as much decisiveness as he has money, boards a train heading east to Sakhalin Island. His compartment mate, Russia, a foreign worker fresh from the army who is frugal and possessive, who seems to not care about anything (including his life) joins him. Barely any recognition passes between them, although they are joined by Russia's old friend, Poland. It seems just like any other long-haul train ride. Until. The train they take breaks down, and the trek begins. Though ice and snow, wind and in between glaciers, hopping on and off broken down ATV's, icebreakers, and even deer. The inhospitable northeast with its cold exterior brings forth unimaginable heart and warmth in unexpected places. Life over the 72nd parallel hasn't even shown what it can do yet. At the shores of Sakhalin, down the tired slopes and where the dawn is born, not one of them knows what they had just gone through and why. The question is, can they overcome this new challenge?

What do emperors do best? Rule, of course. Enforce, command, and conquer. Russian Empire is described by many negative adjectives: Proud, arrogant, belligerent, and constantly on the brink of offence. He's aggressive and powerful, and always waving his flag, but everyone, including himself, knows the real Tsar; just plain, boring, mean, and snobbish. It's clear that nobody wants to come close to the fussy emperor of all Russia's. Who is German Empire? A retired general who is made of steel only welded with wax. Civilian life gnaws at his weakest points and no amount of defiance, fiery determination, or brute force could help. Fitting in painfully into the beat of calm society had caused him to draw away and seclude. Those with whom he still communicates know that his crafty nature, ambitious planning, and strong leadership skills could potentially propel him forward to become a modern hero. Emperors like to be special and unique. They prefer to be in their own domain and don't enjoy a 'friendly' competition. What do you expect once they meet and arbitrarily start to talk? Well, nothing short of a nuclear blast. There is a race to conquer--land, power, and hearts. Who will be victorious? The Tsar or the Kaiser?

(18+) First a fantasy, then a reality. Austria-Hungary yearns for the German Empire like a fire seeks oxygen. He makes do with himself initially, but when he invites the Kaiserreich to a train ride through Tirol, things get heated. (Art by Faulti_er on Instagram.

This is a Countryhumans story about Germany and Russia. Warning: This is a slow burn. Germany is an excited and hardworking person who miraculously was accepted to one of the most prestigious universities. His foster father urges him to go to a field that is in Germany's opinion, dull and boring, as he has his own opinion on what is interesting to him. As always, there are ups and downs, but he is giddy with freedom and doesn't let anyone faze him. Until he finds that the subject his foster father wants him to pursue is a prerequisite Russia, on the other hand, is a stoic, blunt and straightforward, sometimes being aggressive and reserved. He amazingly passed the tests to be accepted to the Globally recognized university, and is ushered out of his home to get a degree to be able to help his father feed his family. he has no time for youthlike fun, frivolous adventures and romance. He expects the year to be dull but needed for his life. Both of them don't expect to become friends, and avoid eye contact. Germany then wishes to have more of the classes with Russia, just to get close. Does he succeed? That is the question.
