Constitutional France.

Four heirs to the English throne.

The Prince of Wales arrived at a crossroad, torn between his duty to Britain and his love for Isabelle, as WWII's call of war inches closer, threatening Europe's fragile peace. 

Nothing is really ever the same when the world is different. History is different. Duty and love conquer the ever-growing and recurring doubt and regret.

Eleanor had it all. She came from a powerful family, held money, a title. Now she has lost it to no fault of hers. It seemed she couldn't lose anything more, but she spoke too early. Her life now belonged to her new monarch. Lord Blackburn-Hanover. The man was the devil himself. Set on one goal and one goal only. To destroy her. An easy task when spoken, one that now seemed to prove difficult once put to action. With a new life thrust upon her with no warning, Eleanor must adapt to a new setting, new people, knowing her life barely hangs off a thread with the sinful man holding it. As a forbidden romance blooms, dangerous forces threaten to tear it down and not is all as it seems. And the Lord isn't either.

Genesis... ...well Genesis is a spy. She has always been a spy. In occupied France, 1944, the Nazis are so close to finding her. She's so close to being burned, but she manages. She manages to just keep their suspicions off of her. But she needn't for long, as the date of her extraction is drawing near. And as she waits, she wonders "who will I have to be next?" This is the story of Genesis, from her very beginning to her very end. _ "And when the shouting started she would not hesitate, for she was a soldier now and to hesitate meant to die." - There is an eventual canon character x OC, but I shan't tell you who because I'm mean. Just some stuff I need to point out, which I will re-iterate in the first part (the welcome and disclaimer) incase you haven't read this far: There is a lot of SWEARING- like a lot, my OC is a potty mouth. Smoking and alcohol feature fairly heavily - SMOKING is not good for your health, but if you do/are going to smoke, please do so responsibly and safely - ALCOHOL is fine as long as it is consumed responsibly, please don't binge drink as it will seriously damage your body. This story contains GRAPHIC VIOLENCE and MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH because, as you know, Band of Brothers is during WORLD WAR 2 and so there was an awful lot of that. PLEASE READ ANY AND ALL TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING THE CHAPTER, THEY ARE IMPORTANT.
