Book Two of the "Home" series. "Don't be scared, Tael. Things might look bad but they will get better. They always do." "But how can you know for sure?" "Because I just do." Some of you might remember Alice Carlea Jones, sometimes known as Melina Andrews. Well, she got married. She has three children now, too. And someone, or something, is trying to kill her. They want to tear her life apart as well as her family. Everything that is happening is connected in a strange and disconcerting way. Perhaps not even her uncle's vast knowledge of magical phenomena can save her. She has to find out who or what it is that wants to kill her, and for what reason. And, eventually, find her way back home again. Preferably all in one piece, but there aren't any guarantees anymore. "There is work to be done, Alice. You're needed elsewhere." CanadaxOC, EnglandxOC, AmericaxOC, ScotlandxOC, RussiaxOC, PrussiaxOC, and possibly a few other various OCxOC pairings I'll throw in later on. Things are a little iffy in the planning, but then again they always are. Hetalia AU(s) Rated PG-13 for swearing, some suggestive themes, a character death, and too much awesomeness for your own good. BAH, read at your own risk. Feels will be crushed, revived, and crushed again in a never-ending cycle. Sorry, that's just how I work. And you'll enjoy yourself, I promise. Hetalia is owned by Hidekaz Himaruya, I own nothing I reference/use! All I possess are the OCs, the plot, and the work it takes to create this story.

Matthew is twenty-one and living alone, working his rear off to support himself. However, everyone has to take a vacation at some point in their life, and this is the story of what happened during a very special time at his family's beach house. Laughter, friendship across species, perhaps even the smallest spark of love between two individuals born of two very different worlds: the land and the sea. AU. Some yaoi such as LietPol, GerIta. and a few others I will eventually decide on... OCxCanada

Book One, part two of the "Home" series Melina Andrews is still around, and she still doesn't know which country she is! She and Matthew are in it together, though, and their relationship is more than "just friends". They love each other, but as time goes on their worlds and sanity will be tested by everything. Snapping (and not the yelling kind, mind you) is the least of their worries as Melina has to keep her gender a secret to stay safe from the person trying to do her harm. Strange dreams leave her confused and angry because she seems so close to finding her elusive identity; danger, action, romance, tears, blood, fluff, and fear are all going to become frequent visitors in everyone's lives as a new threat is traveling closer and closer. Its target? Well, that'll become evident once they get here, now, won't it? Gakuen Hetalia, OCxCanada OCxScotland OCxAmerica OCxRussia OCxEngland Rated PG-13 for a reason, although it could go up when the end is near.
