What if you were a history buff, but not by choice? Wars are quite similar to each other, and usually have predictable precursors — profits the usual culprit. However, knowing is never enough; making enlightened decisions is.
History buffs don't have much say in the matter, but they can always try and be heard. Especially if this one happens to be a seventeen-year-old French Canadian who was 'sort of' forced out of her friendly, kind and polite hometown of Québec City for Washington. Having a new speedy friend helps, too...
[Quicksilver/OC]
I'll try to keep this as accurate as I can, even funny at some intervals, but I must admit that I will make up historical parts, which I will tell you as a footnote. :3
Swearing might come along, just saying!

Fated To Be
If God is not going to punish the sinner then I WILL. People sometimes say to you, "Don't bother with them, their karma will come back to them someday". That is why sometimes people break themself in order to wait for that moment. But sometimes that moment never comes and you yourself are the one rotting away in this miserable life, so why wait when you could put your hands in it? "You are wrong. Whether I am here or not, your punishment will always come to you, I just.. make it much sooner for you. As I didn't have time to wait any longer", he said with a dark gloomy eyes that had lost their lights. When Shen Wei ran away at the age of 15 years old, he never thought that he would come back again, trying to untie the knot that had been lingering in his heart for years, he came back once again trying to understand some events, but to be honest, for him, it is just an excuse, he just wants to see the lights once again, to be able to proudly says "Mom, I have made it, the sinner have already been punished and you have nothing to worry about anymore". Even if it means to drag others down to hell with him. Shen Wei, "Because since the beginning, we have not been given a choice, we have been entangled in this trap, if we don't struggle to get away, you and I will surely lose. And I.. am not the type of person who will easily let other people bully me" Notes: First time making my own character, I think it will be hard for me to clearly describe how the character would be, but I will try my best. I must say first that the timeline is around the early 20th century.. probably, it is fictional, so there must be things that are different compared to the history. Thank you for understanding and reading my work.

The S.U.N. and The Peter Pan Project
The S.U.N. and The Peter Pan Project or the day I woke up in somebody else's bed... My name is Maya, I'm seventeen and I've grown up with my brothers on the Atlantic Coast in the South West of France. Nothing seemed unusual last night when I went to bed. I wished my brothers good night, went to brush my teeth and set my alarm clock before slipping into my bed. So what am I doing in this king size bed, cuddling this dark blue plush cushion, and getting high on the delicious masculine perfume somebody left on it? All this would be easier if somebody was around to answer my questions... But all I have are these bright pink Post-it notes with instructions... So what choice do I have other than to follow them? Don't judge me! What would you do?! ------------------------------------------- But what happens when the instructions lead her to a group of boys with a sun-shaped tattoo on their left wrist just like hers, and an uncanny ability to read her mind? And why are they investigating Peter Pan, the new drug that took the lives of her friends along with that of hundreds of French teenagers last year? Most importantly, why won't they answer her questions?! Sometimes, not knowing is actually safer... _____________________________________ I'd like to thank the very talented rainydays07 for the great cover!!! :)Complete

You called me for this?" I gestured to the both of us. "I don't have time for this. My family is-" "Waiting for you?" The man cackled. "They are fooling you." My eyes widened at that statement. My heart beat sped up. I wanted to talk but couldn't find the words. "Sweetie, the people you are gladly calling parents AREN'T your parents. Your so called mom isn't a day over twenty.

SECOND DRAFT: Hard Bank Left
I am republishing this for a friend who wanted to read a sample of my work. The plot is all over the place, but I know I'll revisit it in future. I initially wrote this in 2017 before I knew a lot of things I know now. There's a lot in here that is culturally insensitive. I have done my best to edit out what I could find at first glance, but if you see something glaringly offensive please make a comment about it so that I can correct my errors. The most egregious example that comes to mind is using the G-word for the Romani and relying on unflattering stereotypes. I plan to correct a lot of this in proceeding drafts. Other than that, enjoy my emotional, nonsensical ride! Trigger warnings for: body dysmorphia, body horror, medical trauma, sexual assaultComplete
True Form (Avengers x Reader)
"Fix your attitude." "Fix your eye!" Yup, that's y/n. She is a sixteen year old shapeshifter, captured by the Avengers and definitely not happy about being held in a cell. She was experimented on by HYDRA, escaped and ran directly into the next organization. Y/n is forced to stay with the Avengers, who are trying to get her to open up to them, however she has different plans and hides her feelings behind facades that shows every emotion but the real one. What happens when she comes into contact with a certain blonde, russian spy? Despite a rough start, maybe this bunch of childish heroes can show her what true friendship is, what true family is, maybe even what true love is... -- -- -- ❗This is my first book, so some things are unrealistic and don't make much sense and I really cringe when I look back at this. -I do not own any of the marvel characters, only y/n!- #1 - marvelxreader #1 - nickfury #1 - marvel #1 - captainamerica #1 - katebishop #1 - yelenabelova #1 - blackwidow #1 - natasharomanoff #1 - wandamaximoff #1 - yelenaxreaderComplete![secrets don't keep themselves [TomTord]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/99637742-256-k497971.jpg)
secrets don't keep themselves [TomTord]
this is the story about how I became friends with the smartest kid in school. the story about why he was so smart. the story about how he took over the world, and made me his second in command. how my friends died trying to overthrow him. and, y'know... everything in between. it's.. lengthy, but that's only because I remember every last detail like it was yesterday (and the present events are just as explanatory), even though this happened over the span of five years. [AU Situation: It's similar to a highschool au but it's also an au where tord succeeds at taking over the world. all of this is in tom's POV. | TW for swearing, a bit of nsfw (there's a warning), a bit of blood, and communism™.]Complete
Side By Side
Clay has always dreamt of going into the army, but there was only one thing stopping him from doing what he loved. After figuring out he was gay and wouldn't be allowed to join the army, he started feeling even more motivated to become a soldier. After fighting for years to follow his dreams, he's finally allowed to join the army side by side a great friend he met during the boot camp. However, joining the army seems way less fun when there's suddenly a very big war beginning... George, a young Jewish boy, is freely living his life with his best friends and his family, until he gets sent away from school for being Jewish. Both of them don't know how much misery is waiting for them, but all they do know, is that they won't give up until life forces them too... Warnings: -War (shooting/bombs/wounded people etc.) -Amputation/getting shot (blood) -Death (not a main character) -Antisemitism (barely any) -Homophobia (F-slur) *The war (and timeline) is NOT accurate and so aren't another few things. I based it on what I saw and shortened the timeComplete
A Blondie and Printsessa - Pietro Maximoff x Reader
A Pietro Maximoff x Reader story. I rolled my eyes playfully " I'm not saving you up every time you get injured Blondie!" "Yes you are." He smirked as he sped off, probably to get some food. "Yes I am." I sighed to myself before running after him. "Every single time." When Y/N Stark, Tony's daughter becomes and Avenger, she inevitably goes on missions with the group. She meets a blonde Russian on one of those missions and upon first encountering him, doesn't exactly greet him in a normal way. Needless to say, Pietro is intrigued and perhaps against her better judgement, so is she. This is my first story so apologies if its shite. Hope you enjoy!! thx queens for 100k reads - love ya xoxo I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS APART FROM Y/N AND HER PERSONALITYComplete
Odd Rose
-"Why are you crying?" What, I didn't know I was crying. -"Come on." He offers a hand to help me up. -"Stay away... from me." I get up on my own a grunt escaping my lips when I feel pain in my knees. -"Your knees!" He crouches down to look at them up close. -"Oh don't act as if you care." I look down and see he has wet hair, which is reasonable since he came out of the bathroom. *Swoop* He scoops me up, my injured knees on his left and my head rests on his right shoulder. I hitch as he picks me up. -"What do you think you're doing? Put me down this instant!" I try to wiggle out of his arms, but it's useless, he holds me tighter to his chest. He gently places me on the bed, and I sit on the edge, I instantly throw my hand to his face intending to slap him. As if it were muscle memory he blocks my hand and gently holds it. He crouches down not breaking eye contact. -"Stella, I'm... sorry. I acted out on you." I know Jacob, and that probably was hard for him to admit. -"Let me treat your knees." He places a gentle hand over my wound. ~ ~ ~ ~ Her Dad was murdered fighting for what was right, her mom didn't love her dad all that much...or her, she plans to follow her dad's footsteps even though that might lead her to death. Her parents had a planed marriage, her mom was more on the medium class while her dad was lower, that said, he needed money to help some important people and ended up marrying a women he didn't love. She has an awful opinion of men. She loved her dad, but she was still mad at him, for his decisions. A little something might happen in her life to change that perspective.Complete
