My Bloody Francia  by katrezi

Male Reader X Maria Renard. [WARNING: This story contains plenty of narrative elements that are far more sinister and disturbing than my other books. Reader discretion is advised.] The French Revolution. Late 18th Century France, 1792. France has seen a time of peace, until now. The cobblestone streets of Paris are soon to run red with blood as the populace rises against the oppressive vampire lead aristocracy. But freedom comes at a high price. Due to massive amounts of food purposely being held back from the public, the fall of a Regiment that once kept the peace, the manipulation of the people on a grand scale, and hunger induced domestic violence that spreads across France like wildfire, nowhere is safe. The aforementioned violence starts to boil over to the point where people are killing each other in the streets either in organized or non-organized ways. Including French Nobility using politics as a weapon to kill anyone whoever so slightly irritates them, or say the wrong words. Innocent people are sent to the guillotine as a result of the chaos, but not everything is as it seems. The counter-revolutionary aristocracy has forged an alliance with a terrifying Vampire Messiah, who promises to devour the sun, which will in turn darken the earth permanently, and allow an army of vampires and night creatures to crush the resisting humans and enslave humanity to only exist as their food to eat. Regardless, in the wake of The French Revolution, it leaves Richter, Maria, Edouard, Madeline, You, Annette, and Tera with no other options left but to band together, prevent the sun from being eaten by the so called "Vampire Messiah", to survive by any means, protect the people, and of course, to extinguish the creatures that lurk the night. Every last one. Good luck surviving this war, you'll need it. Castlevania Series © Konami & Netflix. Assassin's Creed © Ubisoft. All songs used in this story belong to their respective owners.

Life had been a little difficult recently. Anytime you walked by, the neighbors would whisper and gossip about the "failure" of your father. It seemed like everyone in your small neighborhood in Enid knew about the Battle of Kasserine Pass. But they had only heard the rumours, they didn't know the truth behind the event that tore the life out of William Pierson. Determined to bring back the family's reputation, you head off to training as one of the first female soldiers in the Army. It was difficult, and many people thought that you should be "at home cooking and cleaning". But you don't let that bring you down. And despite every wall blocking your progress, you soon finished training and were assigned to the 1st Infantry Division, 16th Regiment alongside your father. You are known for your extreme focus and determination. You don't have the time for doing things women would, like falling in love. But one soldier seems to be constantly catching your attention, breaking down all the barriers surrounding your heart. His name? Robert Zussman. *Disclaimer* I do not own the characters or story of CoD: WWII. This is a fanfiction purely for the enjoyment of readers. I also added a few details of my own to the story. If you have any ideas or CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, feel free to message me. I'm always looking for ways to improve my writing. Also, I just updated the description and everything. I've now labeled this story as Mature due to language and overall gore. I would rather be safe than sorry.

(Still correcting for errors!) The German soldier goes through many things during his time at war, love, horror, and fear. But every soldier of any side knows that there's only one way out. He'll have to survive the new technologies of warfare. A soldier's greatest strength is bravery and moral that grows and lives in the soul. Soldiers test their strength in battle, the strong ones die as the weak ones run. War is an experience that is limited. We all don't know what it's really like. When you look at a soldier that has been at war, you can see it, its written on their faces and engraved in their eyes. A World War Two fiction story about a young man named Albert Schroeder, a twenty one year old German soldier of the Wehrmacht, has been sent to Western Russia to fight the Soviet Union in the summer of June 1944. In military training in Northern Germany, he meets another soldier named Kurt Smith. Kurt has been his friend since military training until his death in a battle against the Soviets during the early night. After Kurt's death, Albert faces many problems with another death of one of Kurt's friends from high school, Ralph Schäfer that he had just met. Albert will then be taken to a place many soldiers of his kind have gone before, a Russian P.O.W camp and might stay there for most of the war until it is over or will Albert try to escape during the night and go on a huge journey back to Germany?
