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.

They all wanted you--needed you. Your suitors. And they weren't afraid to make it known. The sons of the most powerful lords in your kingdom were used to getting what they wanted, but only one could have you. You're the lonely princess and heir to a crumbling kingdom. Your only purpose to the king and queen is to find a worthy husband. When the King's patience finally gives way, he demands you pick a husband from a group of noble boys who come to stay at the castle. All of the boy's motives are different. Whether their motivation is the pursuit of love, money, status, or power, they are all set on seducing the princess. Not everything is as it seems, though, and everyone has a goal. "The crown seems heavy only to those who wear it" OT7 for a minute and then it's not.😈 Started: November 2020 Ended: July 15th 2021 --Currently editing--

Not a Typical Princess (Princess Diana's Daughter) by SophiaJohnson255
26 parts Complete
Imagine if Prince Charles and Princess Diana had a daughter. Now 23 years later, Princess Gwendoline deals with paparazzi, life and love. Everyone states she looks like her mother-- the late and great Lady Diana Spencer-- but Princess Gwendoline barely even knew her. As a snapshot of her life, in the summer of 2018, many things are changing. She is trying to find her place in the monarchy while trying to find her place in the world. Please Note: This was requested by a reader, and it may be is not what they wanted but this is what happens. I am a cynic after all. (It comes out in the rest of my work as well.) I wrote this in twelve hours, so I know it's not my best work. As well as, I know that there is no Princess Gwendoline exists, and I chose to use events during the summer of 2018 to make it more believable.

*Book 6 in the Gun To My Head Series* *Also, I recommend reading Recherché Academia first* After the world practically ending and the loss of many friends, Lara and Mila returned to France where Lara is able to govern the vampires in the Human realm. The couple has one daughter on the hunt to reconnect with her mate while the other one resides at the supernatural school. One would think that the only hardships would be Lara's royal duties, but oh no... those seem simple compared to the drama that's about to start.

Genesis: the Beginning and the End | Band of Brothers by NeverStealMyCoffin
114 parts Complete Mature
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.
