The setting for "Men of Winter" is deliberately vague but seems to be Russia, especially Siberia, in the earliest decades of the twentieth century. The protagonist, Hektr Pastrovich, is a journalist and poet who travels to the front of a war his beleaguered country has been fighting for nine years. He's searching for information about a mysterious vagabond who calls himself the "Prince of Ithaka" and along the way he meets a beautiful and charismatic woman. The novel is a sort of sequel to Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Visit tedmorrissey.com.All Rights Reserved

The Chronicles of the Milky Way Galaxy : Gaia by Tcomwg

A meteorite slams into the earth causing a global catastrophe, the particles on the atmosphere block out the sun for years, slowly cooling the planet leading to a world-wide ice age. Humans find refuge in dome cities, pre-build when the meteorite was detected, which are meant to last under the snow for thousands of years. In the process, technology brings forth the age of immortality and unprecedented automation. The result is a decaying society blind to any cause and drugged to survive the endless parade of years. An idea sparks in the mind of Alex. An idea already rooted in the minds of humans since their early appearance on Earth. Migrate. Within a few years, a team had been formed and a budget had been granted for project Gaia to initiate. The spacecraft "Hera" is built in space, ready to take a few settlers to Solis. A solar system which seems to be ideal for harboring life. Many planets within the goldilocks zone and an abundance of oxygen. Is Alex the hero who will rebuild humanity in a new world or someone who abandoned Earth when it most needed its healthiest minds?

Stars and Moonflowers in Our Garden(Rusame) by Rainbowstar_772

Writing had always been a hobby of Russia's, it was mostly just little notes on his day paired with some art he drew. Then a gardener he only ever saw at night showed up. They never saw him, but they were so quiet and gentle with the flowers. Eventually, the prince decided to write them a letter, hoping the gardener might reply.

Rules are Rules-Hetalia RusAme by Pastanerd23

*some chapters are very long ;-;* Russia and America adore each other, but could never say a word. One is haunted by the thought of his people and family hating him. And the other doesn't even understand his own feelings. Although when an unfortunate event causes them to come together, how will their worlds treat them? (Warnings: Homophobia, attempted suicide, angst, swearing, sexual themes, abuse) Yeah this is one big fuked up story I can't believe I'm writing... xD Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia, I just own the plot. Also I'm so sorry for how I portray certain countries in this lol

Pessimistic Coodies (RusAme) by Toddels

The tall tale of the later hardships faced by "the gifted child". As Russia ages, he finds his life dulling because he has nothing to live for. He had already succeeded in so much that his life loses purpose. One fateful day he unexpectedly befriends America who understands exactly how he is feeling. He persuades Russia to partake in deadly events with him to help him feel excitement again. Intelligently gifted depressed psychopaths should never become addicted to danger... or become besties. 🦠🦠🦠 America glances back over to me with a menacing grin plastered onto his face. He laughs and its echo haunts my ears. "I don't think I'm insane; surely my entire situation is understandable. If it weren't, I would've been put into that asylum when I was younger." I stare into his doe mismatched colored eyes. What the hell did I get myself into? "America, you are insane." I repeat. I was truly at a loss for words and had conflicting emotions. Crossing the street blindfolded was the last thing I had expected him to try. And yet, I was even more disturbed at how much I wanted to try it for myself... "And so are you, Russia." he says chillingly as if he had a key to my gated mind. "We are not so different and you know it. You are not normal; you revealed that to me in your past. Our horrible childhoods molded us into what we are today. " "I'm not fucking crazy." I tell him, "I find hobbies to feel alive- not to try to kill myself!" 🦠🦠🦠 **Not the story you will be expecting** ⚠️ Warning: This is a fictional novel, so please don't attempt or copy anything life threatening that these characters do, thanks TuT 💗 All art is mine :) 🫧 - Yes, there are many allusions to famous works of literature because I am an obsessed fanatic for them!! Also I included a shit ton of symbolism and foreshadowing. So be on the look out for everything! ✨ ;)

RusCan: Snowy Relationships by officialameliamoon

RusCan: Snowy Relationships: a similarity between Russia and Canada? Their climates? It snows? They're big nations? But nothing between to two clearly opposite nations. Canada's young, naïve.

Kraals and Magic by Ensii99

It's thousand of years after the pact war. A war that changed the balance of the world. Such that, in one part of the world magic reigns supreme, and the other part lacks; thousands of kingdoms and a plain where a man can run forever. Woka Firg, chieftain of Masakar, a village in the south of the unending plain is frustrated by his gods. Who demands cruel sacrifices and seldom gives fortune; who watches with folded arms as the floods take their homes. Woka is further unsettled as a wizard tells him his kraal will not survive the season___ as the flood from the north is unstoppable. Woka and his family must find ways to survive. At war or in foreign land.... a plain man is never out of his depth. Ike an ageless assassin wants to save himself; wants a god that will grant him mercy for what he did in the past. Ifeoma and her grandson, Tooka, embarks on a journey to stop a world from falling and prevent history from repeating itself. Your votes and comments will be appreciated.

Candy Stars || Ruscan ] by Usedtowell

Canada is a well known model, working tireless hours to keep up his status as a professional. Russia is a nobody, living alone in a small apartment with no friends, and little to no money. Neither of the two would ever think they'd fall in love with someone like the other. But when two opposites are placed into a room together, they tend to attract. ----------------------- This is a rewrite of "My Light" as I not like how I wrote it and thought the story was rushed. The following work contains: Gore, sexual themes, discussion of mental health and sh. I don't give chapter warnings. This work is not intended to be a political statement or to be historically accurate, all characters in this work are completely fictional. I own this work and the artwork in the cover, do not use my works for your own gain or do no claim my work as your own.
