Australia is a new country of the British Empire when World War 1 begins. In this time of War, the son of a family of four volunteers to go and fight, leaving his father, his mother and his sister. Without Robert at home, will the family be able to cope with a father falling ill, a mother to the care for her husband, and a sister left with chores her grandma's stories?

---This is a story I wrote for my English short story assignment in August 2018 using the book 'A Rose for the ANZAC Boys' by Jackie French as a reference for the time period. I thought I should post it on here. My mark for it was 80%, but I put too much effort in for that.---

Originals by Andyfranclark

This is going to be an explanation to my OCs for Welcome Home and for my AUs of Welcome Home I'm still working on the storylines for my AUs. By the way some of my OCs is related to some of the characters in Welcome Home but only in my AUs [As other AUs they were created by other talented people I might do some with my original characters but it's gonna take a while.] This is part one of Love Rot AU As well as any others that might come into my head. (I do not own the characters of Welcome Home they belong to a person called:Clownillusions. Songs are from YouTube.)

A Daisy for Hannah Jane by rachelle_5

She is not just the lover of a soldier, a girl neglected by her only living relative and gradually becoming a woman in the world of 1917. She is Hannah Jane. She yearns for freedom, a life to her dying love, and maybe even a bob cut. New England grows on her every day, but sometimes she wonders why she is really meant to be there. Hannah Jane asks herself those same probing questions people can relate to now, a little over a century later. Why me? Why this world? Why even pray anymore? Tragedy after tragedy, she hangs onto a weak strand of hope. But when Hannah Jane uncovers a vile plot amidst the heartache, will she be able to clear up her murky past and all of her sorrow? Or will it be too late before WWI's restlessness and grief finally take control of her?

Letters To My Soldier Boy Lover by letspartyxd43

#1 in Poppies #200 in letters in Nov 19 #7 in distance #1 remembrance Jonas never really thought that writing a random address and postal code would have anyone respond to his letters. He thought they would just be discarded or even not be delivered to a house at all. But because he did that he felt love once again. Ava hadn't realized that a letter from a soldier boy would make her fall head over heels for him. She never thought that such simple letters would make her laugh,smile, excited, sad, scared and all different types of emotions you can feel. This story takes place in an imaginary war that I made up in my mind. Everything is fictional in this book. I update every day and just a heads up. LOT of grammar mistakes and could make you cringe. Well in my opinion. You decide wether you like it or not!!!

North Road {HS} by oxbow9

His eyes are a shade of green I can't quite put a name to. Muddy, overwhelming, pain might come close, and maybe that's why it seems so familiar. Because his arms, clad in the faded homespun my mother once made, feel like home. He's a sad, lovely song I don't know the words too but long with every ounce of my being to sing. ----------------------------- It's 1918 and an entire generation is aching in its very bones. Love and loss are bedfellows. Sometimes in the aftermath of death things grow and in the aftermath of war is life. ----------------------------- Harry Styles/ Emilia Clarke/ Sam Claflin/ Lily James (#1 in WW1)

The Nurse by CamoJane

With war raging all around, some battles can't be won... ♠ The year was 1916, Elosie Keller was dwelling in a secluded Belgian cottage where she remained hidden away from the world until the day he fell from the sky... Drawn to the carnage of a fallen plane, she finds more than rubble when she notices that the pilot is still alive. She knows without medical treatment that the man is fated to die. Acting in a haste, she pulls the man from his destined coffin in hopes to help him live. Eloise soon finds herself tending a German patient in her hidden home and realizes he isn't the monster the world made him out to be; instead, she begins to see much more than an officer, but a man with a heart just trying to survive a war. When she is finally discovered by the Germans, she is called upon to become a field nurse for the men on the western front--only to fall into a whirlwind of unfortunate events that she must learn how to survive. Follow Eloise as she takes on the battle of being a wartime nurse in a man's world, fighting the one enemy that could never be conquered-love... *This is a work of fiction. Any names, dates, or events are completely coincidental. Thanks for reading. (unedited)

Sunflowers and Carnations |RusAme Royal AU| by that_1diotbloop

Just an AU I wanted to try out. The title is flowers because they're kinda cool and symbolizes some beautiful LGBTQ. Sunflowers represent Loyalty, Longevity, Adoration, and Happiness. The Green carnation represents my favorite thing... GAY! sorry but if you look at all my books, they all include LGBTQ relationships and stuff. Here's a quick summary: America is an autistic oldest child of Britain and France, but he's adopted like all his other siblings. Russia isn't the oldest but he's definitely the most mature, and his father, USSR, just died. Earlier America's youngest sibling suggested a sleepover with a bunch of different countries. So, America invited Russia for political reasons and his siblings invited others. Therefore, Russia invites the British-French family to his father's funeral. When something goes terribly wrong someone is terribly injured and America finds something that could lead to an uncomfortable adventure, investigation, and truth.

The Echo Of Youth by chlo2901

"I didn't realise that I could miss something as much as I miss my innocence." It's 1914, the world is at war, and it's unlike anything anyone has seen before. The men of cities and country towns are leaving for a cause much bigger than they realise. 20 year old Clancy Taylor is young, willing and determined to become a hero. His identical twin brother Ned, isn't easily persuaded but soon decided that protecting his brother is more important than a wedding. Promised to the arrogant and cheating Hamish, Elsie O'Dwyer is eager to follow her true love to war as a nurse. So, equipped with their mate Tom, their kit bags and the memories of home the boys make their way to the frontline of World War One. No excitement. No faith. Barely any courage. Follow the life of Clancy and his mates as they mature into people with the echoes of their youth muffled by rifle fire.

Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019] by amanda_denney_writes

It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).
