And that's where America is assigned as his bodyguard. And What if Russia realised Capitalism wasn't so bad? What if he disobeyed his Father? What if he made friends with the Capitalist?

Warnings: ♥ Swearing ♥ Trauma/Upsetting bits ♥ Inappropriate scenes ♥ A lot of Cringe -I do not own art- -All I own is writing and Story Idea- -People's flag will be their Company, Organisation, town, village, tribe or city flag. Plain Families will have a coat of arms as their flag- -People age at random points, in 5 years they could age by 1 year, it all depends on the world-

Russia lives in hell. His father couldn't care less about him, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to protect the ones he loves. Russia has always done his best for his siblings. But with his mom gone and his father talking more to empty bottles of vodka then to him, he finds himself taking on more and more each day. And he begins to wonder, how much longer can he take it? I'm bad at descriptions the story is better I swear. TLDR: Russia is a great big brother with a side of angst. Ukraine is a slightly edgy plant boi. Belarus is an absolute bean. Kazakhstan is a good boy and we love him. TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains mentions of abuse, suicide, angst, mentions of self harm, mild swearing, PTSD, and implied death. If you are sensitive to any of the trigger warnings, please be careful or just skip the parts that contain what you are sensitive to. Double warning because people can't seem to read: THIS BOOK DOES CONTAIN TRIGGERING THEMES BUT DOES NOT GLORIFY THEM. THIS BOOK IS NOT MEANT TO PROMOTE VIOLENCE AND ABUSE. IT IS TO SHOW PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF THESE THEMES AND TO EXPLAIN THEM IN A EDUCATIONAL MANNER THROUGH STORY TELLING.

America has dreamed of the stars for as long as he can remember. Fighting for his dream made be harder then he thought as he fights the race to space with his sworn enemy, the Soviet Union. Hardship, struggle, doubt, and destruction are sure to follow, but can his family and friends be enough for him to finally catch the stars? I'm bad at descriptions sorry. TLDR: America is really into space and has daddy issues, Soviet Union is a jerk, there's lots of wholesome moments and angst, and this is a loose interpretation to the Space Race from history. This is the prequel story and partial conclusion to "We Are a Family" (A USSR FAMFIC). You do not have had to read the original story in order to read this book and can start here if you'd like.

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS BOOK MAY POTENTIALLY DEAL WIGH SENSITIVE TOPICS AND DARKER THEMES THAT I WOULD RATE FOR SLIGHTLY OLDER AUDIENCES.
