Rest And Return, Fall And Rise || Countryhumans ||America /sovame?/ DISCONTINUED
desc changed sun, 5/4/25 ____ Through the agonizing cries he created, whilst seeing the living land crumble at someone else's fingertips.. America was to blame. To blame for the death of his mother, Native America. To blame for the American Revolution. To blame for something that was not his fault, the reason that the revolution happened in the first place. A buildup of emotion and sentiment. The start and the end of the symbolism on the 4th of July. What America saw as a triumph, a cause for his mother's happiness; would quickly turn into agony, the very same day. On July 4th, when independence was technically declared, freedom was bound to be free from its enlistment. Only for America to find his mother dead, and his 13 children gone. His twin brother, Confederate, missing. In which he would later collapse at the news that Confederate allied with the murderer of their mother, Great Britania. ... April 12th, 1861. America was at war. He was at war with someone who could never care to become real, to become truth. Bullshit. Everything in that person was lies. So to be full of lies, would you be full of agony or happiness first? ... Who'd ever want to know anyways. SONG: in my restless dreams, i see that town - yourshxbh & visual7

We know a lot about the American Civil War. We know about the battle at Gettysburg and how Sherman burned Atlanta but do you know many individual stories? Follow Oliver and Naomi from their arranged marriage through the war. It will be quite a journey as Naomi faces the war home alone and Oliver fights battle after battle. She will face one of the cruelest band of the southern militia army as she tries to protect the people she loves most. This is a story about the ones left home during the war. The one's who earned no great merit or place in history. The forgotten heroes of a bloody war that stood for freedom and equality for all Americans. I based some of facts in the story on writings left behind by my family that lived here in Indiana in the 1860s. My ancestors were Quaker and they were abolitionists in Indiana. We still have their homes used in the underground railroad in our family. My other side was endangered servants from Ireland and my great-great-grandfather was, unfortunately, one of the soldiers that came to Indiana while serving under John Hunt Morgan. He was the rest of my family's enemy. https://www.wattpad.com/646167251-the-forgotten-ones-a-completed-steamy-historical Please keep in mind this story is based in America during the 1860s and it was a different time.

The Black Swan and the Officer
Despite the unshakable attraction between them, Maeve and Lucian are uninterested in love and marriage; especially since they hate one another and couldn't think of a worse match. • • • London, 1815 Maeve Langston's aversion to the opposite sex has given her the reputation of being an insufferable wench, so men have learned to stay away from her. Lucian Thorne, Baron Worthington, has become somewhat of a cynical hermit since his return from the Napoleonic wars, injured and disgruntled. When the two meet, they rapidly learn to despise each other. She appears to be a narcissistic brat, and he keeps acting like a pompous arse. Lucian wants nothing more than to stay away from Maeve, but his best friend has his eyes set on her for marriage. He has no choice but to show him the dreadful harpy that lies beneath the lovely facade. However, the more time they spend in each other's presence, the clearer it becomes that first impressions can be wrong. Between their unexpected similarities and the sparks that fly every time they meet, what started as hatred slowly shifts into something different. Something both of them will find much more dangerous. • • • This is the second installment of the Langston Series. Although I advise you to read the first one first (The Prince and the Spitfire), it can be read as a standalone.Complete
