WARNING: This story contains detailed descriptions of events and wounds obtained on a World War One battlefield. If you are sensitive to gore, violence, and death (and all that entails), please DON'T read this story. 

Henry O'Connell joined the fight against the Germans as soon as the Great War began, although he quickly found that the trenches could not give him the glory and excitement he and his brother Albert had desired. 

Henry suffers severe wounds on the battlefield, including exposure to mustard gas, getting caught in a blast, and being thrown into a mess of barbed wire. Later, he wakes up in a makeshift hospital, being treated by an American nurse-in-training named Samantha Wilks.

Wildflowers In The Ruins: A 1917 Story by Snowdropsdream

Completed fan fiction for the film 1917: This is the very first fan fiction I've ever attempted. Please be kind. I hope you like it. It features all of the main characters, several of the others, plus many I've created. Northern France, April 1917: A Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse is sent on an urgent mission across no-man's land accompanying two Lance Corporals, but she will have her own mission to fullfil also and be tested in ways she never deemed possible. Each chapter is named after a flower, relevant to the story, and that you can encounter growing in the wild, either in Britain or Northern France, with the exception of roses and Sweet William's. This story does contain spoilers from the film so it's really worth watching it first. Chapers two (from around halfway through) to eight I've taken directly from the film. The script is copyrighted to Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, although I've worked from what's spoken in the film rather than off the script. I've taken inspiration from other films, television and books (fiction and non-fiction) set in the First World War too such as Forgotten Voices, The Roses Of No-Man's Land, War Horse, The Crimson Field, Private Peaceful, They Shall Not Grow Old, Testament Of Youth, Journey's End and Birdsong. I've also taken inspiration from the beautiful book A Song For Will which is based on the true story of the gardeners and labourers from the Heligan Estate in Cornwall. Every character who isn't featured in the film 1917 is fictitious and the names are entirely made-up, although every female character's Christian name in my story belongs to a female relative of mine who was alive at the time of the First World War, for example my four Great-grandmothers were Mary-Jane, Lavinia, Ada and Alice. The other names were from my Great and Great-Great-Aunts. Enjoy. ❤ 🌺 ☘ 🌻 💖 🍂 🌿 🌼 💗 🌲 🌸 🍃 💕 🌹 🌱 ⚘💝 🌳 🏵 💮 💌 🌾 💐 🍁 💞 🍀

No Covenants (Violent Delights Book 11) by kullman

The bloody aftermath of Agincourt brings about horrors the people of France couldn't even dream of. English King Henry V has his sights set on Normandy, and there is nothing he won't do to claim it. The city of Rouen is the last stronghold in Henry's bloody path through France. They should be able to hold out long enough for winter to ravage his army, or for aid to come. They will last 174 days. Trigger/Content Warning: grotesque violence throughout. Torture. Characters experience PTSD. Grief is discussed at length. Deeply unsettling imagery, and graphic violence. Animal abuse. Some mild crude humor. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed.

Book Of Ruth by Andreth88

"Bitterness is unbecoming of a woman, but I cherish mine like the memory of first love. I see nothing in Leon Wagner, but an automaton. He is a machine of the Third Reich. I am surprised he even bleeds." In the summer of 1945, the world rejoices at the surrender of first Germany then Japan, but healing is a long time coming. Though they are not visible, Ruth Tucker's wounds run deep. Having worked as a nurse for the American Red Cross since the invasion of Normandy, Ruth's hatred for her country's former enemy runs deep. While stationed in Zell am See, Austria, she is assigned to nurse in a German POW camp. She meets a young Wehrmacht soldier, Leon Wagner, who speaks English and strives to spark a friendship with her. But Ruth's bitterness is almost too strong. All she sees in Leon is a heartless machine. Slowly, through a shared love of books and their families, she begins to recognize his humanity and starts to feel her own stir in her heart, something she thought long deadened by the months of violence.

Blind Promises by Bextra6

A lonely girl from a small town in Oklahoma finds herself in the middle of Seattle, Washington. What she didn't know was fate was about to deal her a hand that she needed to help put all her demons back where they belonged, locked away for good. A war hardened soldier, blinded in an attack while doing a black ops mission, was sitting there with his friend at a movie night of all things when an angel walked into the room. What little vision he did have gave him the notion that an ethereal being had just graced his presence. Little did he know, she'd be stuck with him for the foreseeable future after an unexpected attack. At first she was drawn to his service dog, but then it wasn't long before she couldn't keep her mind off of him. Which was good because he had no plans of ever letting her go. Sight unseen, he'd decided she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever met. He knew he had issues she didn't deserve to have to handle. She knew she had a past that he wouldn't want to deal with. But fate had other plans for the two lovers, a blind promise. Can they work through their differences, their mental health challenges, and the dangerous situations that come their way?

Where Death Sings by writereden

The Shattered Rule by Bulbasaur_Enjoyer

WARNING: THIS STORT CONTAINS BLOOD AND SOME GORE. Reader discretion is advised. • • It's 1922, a massive war has broken out between the Republic of Frankia and the Holy Roman Empire. Directly on the border, a hardened veteran with his dog and a mysterious assassin meet up under strange circumstances. They didn't know it, but soon they would become brothers, they just had to take a trip through hell and back first. • • • This is a story that was written by myself and a dear friend of mine (who wanted to remain anonymous) for a class project. It takes aspects from several medias, like John Wick for example. In fact, my friend bases his character entirely off of John Wick for this story, think of him as French John Wick.
