A nine-year-old Italian girl growing up in Rome during the fascist era in Italy soon learns that toys have been banned in her country. Her neighbourhood toy store is closed down. The windows are boarded up, but through the slits in the plywood she can still see the toys sitting motionless in the darkness. Among the terror of the war, the girl finds herself in turmoil as well. Her mother, who was a supporter of Il Duce (Mussolini) expects her growing girl to prepare herself for the domestic duties of a good wife. A young girl questioning her identity, must find herself amidst a world of hate. She feels unready to forget her childhood and move on. It is as if she has woken up in a world she does not recognize. She sets off on a journey to steal the toys from the closed store and distribute them in secret to the children of the neighbourhood. She sees her midnight thievery as a small piece of resistance against the fascist regime that expects her to become a childbearing mother who turns her head when someone is suffering... This is a story for those who are drawn between childhood and adulthood in a world they do not understand.

The Golden Soldier (Call of Duty: WW2 Fanfiction)
Avaline Baker is a young woman on a camping trip with friends when she decides to go into a museum that will change her life forever. Somehow transported into the future, Ava finds herself at the barrel tip of Nazi German soldier. Transported to their camp as prisoner, Ava is lost and confused as to what, where, and who she is with...the how part is the most antagonizing. Shortly after being saved by two American men, Ava discovers she's been placed at the center of World War Two. Surrounded by warfare and American men who have strict mindsets about women in the the 1940's, the 21-year-old feels like she has no hope of surviving. To even have a chance, Ava has to prove that just because she's a woman, doesn't mean she isn't capable of fighting to survive like the rest of them. Ava finds herself stuck in 1944, with "strange" technology called a cell phone, no way of charging it, and no way of getting home. In the midst of a gruesome and horrifying war, she finds herself questioning more than just sanity of the time period, but even her own. Hopefully, with careful and calculating steps, Ava will survive the blistering cold winters, the first-hand experience of a war, and developing a difficult bond with the men of 1st Platoon. --•--•--•-- This is a work of fan-fiction, which means I don't own practically anything. Except for Aveline Baker and some scenes. Will be based off of/follow the campaign. This work has content pertaining to difficult aspects of WW2 including blood and gore; swearing/harsh language; sexual/crude comments and actions; German POW camps; etc. Please DO NOT READ if you aren't comfortable or have too strong opinions on things related to WW2. It's a fictional story and, thus, should be treated like it. On flip side, there will humor. Especially from Zussman- we all like him. And don't forget moments from hardass Pierson...those will get interesting too. ;) ~Started on September 1st, 2018~ ~Finished September 1st, 2019~Concluida

Once an angel, now a devil in disguise, forged by the cruelty of a father's grip. She is feisty, with a soul that still shines, torn between a deep, burning hunger for touch and an overwhelming hatred for it, as if every brush of skin is a betrayal. Her mission is simple-freedom and vengeance for the mother stolen by the hands of betrayal. She thought her escape would come from a prince charming, just like in the books she read-until she realized there was no hero, and she'd have to save herself. But that was before her father sold her to the most ruthless, feared man in the Italian mafia. 𝗔𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗢(32) A broken soul, born into a shattered family.

A woman-mysterious, unseen, and dangerously untouchable-shatters his ego. She controls his rival mafia, yet remains unseen by the world. Now, he wants her, not just in his sight, but by his side. But first, there's another piece to move on his chessboard. He needs the daughter of the man he despises most. The man he believes stole everything from him.

The Mean Duo ✔
"They say polar opposites attract." Natalie White thinks that's complete nonsense. As the mayor's daughter and the undisputed queen bee of California High, she's spent her entire life getting exactly what she wants. Feared, admired, and never challenged, Natalie has no intention of changing who she is for anyone. If being the villain in someone else's story means getting ahead, then so be it. But everything changes when Xavier Russo arrives. A scholarship student from Italy with a dangerous reputation and a permanent scowl, Xavier couldn't care less about Natalie's status, wealth, or influence. Unlike everyone else, he's not intimidated by her-and he's certainly not interested in playing by her rules. Xavier came to California High for a fresh start, not to deal with a spoiled rich girl determined to make his life miserable. Yet the more Natalie pushes, the harder he pushes back, turning their rivalry into an all-out war. She refuses to back down. He refuses to be controlled. And when two people who hate each other this much collide, sparks are bound to fly. Told through alternating POVs, The Mean Girl and The Black Eye follows two stubborn enemies as they navigate rivalry, attraction, secrets, and the scars of their pasts. The question is: will they destroy each other, or discover that sometimes the person you can't stand is the one you can't stay away from? ⚠ Warning: Mature themes, strong language, graphic fight scenes, violence, PTSD, and emotional trauma.Concluida

The Donafrio Donor (18+ Only) [COMPLETED]
[Edited] "You had to be extremely low on cash to wank into a cup for it," Dani sneered, feeling like a vindictive bully in a playground. But Carlo deserved it. She felt the first sharp stab of fear that went through her heart when Carlo looked at her with thunder in his eyes. "What are you going to do now? Kill me?" she continued. Fingering the 9mm in her back pocket, she remembered that she'd never even shot the damn thing, despite her brothers' pleas to teach her. Carlo's shadow blanketed her. "Kill you?" His brow furrowed. "Do you really think that lowly of me, cara? I'm wounded." "Then what the hell do you want?" His face flashed with a look she barely recognised - pure arousal. Even when he reached out and pulled her to him, she could feel it. "I realised that the mother of my child is more of a spitfire than I thought." His lips brushed her earlobe. "Call me a pyromaniac." *cover by @bullethood*Concluida
