Ozus Stories

Best friends Kyle and Alfred banter with their siblings Avery and Matthew during a Saturday session for their AP Biology class. (Written for vegemite-burgers on Tumblr)

The year is 1917, and the Great War is slowly drawing to a close, but the end can't come fast enough for the two nations from the Southern Hemisphere, exhausted and ready to go home and to try to resume a normal life. Kyle knows he's close to breaking. Even hearing the name of that cursed place aloud causes him pain, and he knows Avery feels the same. Then comes that stupid smiling American, with his talk of heroes and aide. And Kyle can't help but start to feel differently about Alfred. But developing such feelings in the middle of war can be a dangerous thing.

They are the sun and the moon, eternally in dance, always reaching, never touching. They are goddesses, and the Great Mother gives them their tasks.

The time of war has reached its end. It's time to set the terms of peace. For Kyle, things are not simple. The first war is always the hardest. He's lost so much, yet gained something as well. But the shell shock of the war and the secrets he feels he must keep are eating away at him. Thankfully, he's not fighting this personal war alone.

As the war to end all wars ended, hope was high for peace. But another war has come, and after two years, the Allies are relying strongly on the aide of the ever neutral American across the ocean. Kyle's glad Alfred's chosen to stay out of it, and when England insists someone must try to get America to join, he volunteers. After all, he can do the bare minimum of formalities, and when Alfred refuses, he can then just spend some time with the man he loves before returning to the war. But events beyond his control are about to throw them both into yet another war, this one in the Pacific. And when a slumbering giant awakes, the world will be shaken to its core.

Warning: my writing is shit so you probably don't want to read this. ALSO the chapters might be a bit short. Enjoy??

On August 20th, 1908, the "Great White Fleet" of the US Navy arrived in Sydney, Australia. It was the first time the personifications of the United States of America and the Australia met. And when eyes meet eyes, soul meets soul.
