The Way Back ~ Band of Brothers Lia Raith has fought a war of her own for as long as she can remember. At ten, her life is shattered. At eighteen, she's thrust into the brutality of World War II. By twenty-one, she crosses paths with Easy Company; a group of paratroopers who will change the course of her life forever. Born a carefree child, Lia is now a hardened soldier, her past marked by unthinkable loss and violence. The things she's seen, the things she's done, have carved a cold, unfeeling exterior. But beneath that armor, the ghosts of her past still whisper, threatening to consume her. Thrown into the chaotic, rowdy world of Easy Company, Lia finds herself clashing with men who are as broken as she is. But in their camaraderie, in the bonds they form through blood and war, Lia starts to believe something she's long abandoned: that she can be more than the soldier she's become. As she battles the darkness within, Lia finds herself hoping they can be the ones to show her the way back. Band of Brothers Ronald Speirs x OC

In the heart of World War II, amidst the mud, blood, and brotherhood of Easy Company, one woman carves her place in history. Nora Bell, a sharp-witted, compassionate medic from rural Colorado, joins the paratroopers with a quiet determination forged by the war wounds she's seen too close to home. As the only female medic in a sea of men, she earns respect the hard way-through grit, skill, and unshakable loyalty. From the gruelling training fields of Camp Toccoa to the tense, steel bones of the Brooklyn Shipping Yard, Nora builds bonds with the men of Easy-especially with George Luz, the charming radio operator whose humour masks a depth few ever see. As war looms closer, banter turns into trust, and trust into something deeper. But with every step closer to the front lines, both Nora and George must navigate not only the horrors of war but the fragile, blooming connection between them. A slow-burn romance set against the backdrop of brotherhood and battle, Nora Bell explores courage, companionship, and finding love where it's least expected.

Evelyn Mae Harper never expected to survive her first mission, let alone end up assigned to Easy Company. A crack shot with more ghosts than allies, she joins the paratroopers in England in 1943 - a girl in a man's war, haunted by a past she doesn't talk about and a future she's not sure she wants. But Easy Company is more than just another assignment. They're loud, loyal, broken, and brave. Whether Evelyn likes it or not, they start to matter. Between the weight of memory, the long shadows of Normandy, and the slow, terrifying pull of trust, Evelyn finds herself learning what it means to belong - and what it costs. As war rages across Europe, Evelyn must navigate the battlefield, her buried grief, and the complicated ties she forms with the men around her - especially Joseph Liebgott, whose quiet watchfulness might just break through her armor, and Ronald Speirs, whose violence mirrors something she's afraid to face in herself. She joined the war to disappear. She didn't expect to be seen. **I do not own Band of Brothers or its characters - all recognizable characters, events, and settings belong to HBO and the creators of the series.

When the head of SOE tells her the Gestapo has raised the price on her head, the only way to let it die is by faking her death and going undercover with Easy Company.

Included on Wattpad's HistoricalFiction World Wars reading list. - * - * - * - Being in the French Resistance wasn't what Alice Klein envisioned her life looking like. She'd wanted a husband and a flat in Paris, and maybe a cat with a pink bow who would sleep on her piano. But bullets didn't discriminate between male or female, young or old. Alice knew that better than most. As a half-German, half-French Jew, it seemed no matter where she went, she was hated. To the German army or Vichy France, she was a traitor. To any uneducated Allied soldier, her last name screamed Nazi. When the Maquis heard of the Allies looking for connections to the French Resistance, they'd quickly offered up Alice as a multilingual translator and Underground liaison. Whisked away from the French Alps, she arrived to the States to train as a paratrooper, knowing that failure was not an option no matter how much she disliked it. Lucky for her, she didn't just find barracks and training grounds in America. She found men, and in them, family to replace the one she'd lost. - * - WARNINGS for realistic depictions of world war ii, strong language, era-typical sexism, era-typical anti-semitism, alcohol abuse, cigarette abuse, past sexual assault - * - * - * - Pairing: mostly gen, way down the line it's eventual Lewis Nixon/OC BOOK ONE in [ A Tale of Two Heritages ] Start Date: December 5, 2019 End Date: March 24, 2020 Final Word Count: 150,786 Cross-posted to FFN and Ao3 - * - * - * - #1 in World War Two, #1 in Band of Brothers, #1 in Feminist, #1 in 1940s, #1 in Lewis Nixon FIRST PLACE: Cherry Blossom Awards 2020, Writer's Glory Awards 2020 THIRD PLACE: Historical Fiction in Spice Off Award, Fanfiction in Majestic Inc.
