The Way Back ~ Band of Brothers
Lia Raith has fought a war of her own for as long as she can remember.
At ten, her life is shattered. At eighteen, she's thrust into the brutality of World War II. By twenty-one, she crosses paths with Easy Company; a group of paratroopers who will change the course of her life forever.
Born a carefree child, Lia is now a hardened soldier, her past marked by unthinkable loss and violence. The things she's seen, the things she's done, have carved a cold, unfeeling exterior. But beneath that armor, the ghosts of her past still whisper, threatening to consume her.
Thrown into the chaotic, rowdy world of Easy Company, Lia finds herself clashing with men who are as broken as she is. But in their camaraderie, in the bonds they form through blood and war, Lia starts to believe something she's long abandoned: that she can be more than the soldier she's become.
As she battles the darkness within, Lia finds herself hoping they can be the ones to show her the way back.

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. --β’--β’--β’-- This is a work of fan-fiction, which means I don't own practically anything.

DREA (GxG)
Mrs Julia Robinson, the wife of American figure skating Olympian Adrian Robinson, is nervous about finally meeting her husband's family. After two years of marriage living in Amsterdam, they've decided it's time to move back to Virginia and give Julia the opportunity to meet the rest of her husband's family. The most important of them all is his close sister and best friend, Adreanna Jones. The flight to Virginia was long, but the car ride to Adreanna's house was short. Despite the short distance, the couple never made it there. Julia wakes up in a hospital, broken and alone. She learnt that they'd been in an accident that claimed her husband's life and sent her into a coma for 12 days. Heartbroken, depressed and disabled, she found herself stranded in a foreign country with no one to lean on. Or so she thought. Adreanna loved her brother more than anyone in the world. He was her father, mother, and best friend. He was her everything. Then he was gone. Julia was the closest thing left to her brother. Adreanna's intentions were to just get to know the woman her brother married, look after her on his behalf until she could look after herself again and eventually return home. But life wiped out those plans before they even cemented as the two women, in a time of hurt and grief, seeking closure, companionship and love, formed a bond they didn't even realise was growing until it was too late. Now they're stuck at a crossroads, having to decide between love and ethics. The sequel to Drea is out now. It is called Mrs Jones. You can find it on my profile.Complete

- πππ had been a ghost in her home long before she ever set foot on the battlefield. Anzalya Iosifovna Aistova grew up in its shadow, in the quiet weight of her father's silence, in the haunted look that never quite left his eyes. By fifteen, she understood what most never would-the way war didn't just break men on the battlefield, but long after they'd come home. She swore she would heal, not harm. That was the promise she made when she signed up for the Nurse Corps. But war had other plans. Somewhere between the shifting tides of duty and desperation, she found herself not in the sterile safety of a field hospital but in the chaos of the front lines. The 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment-Easy Company. A medic, yes, but something else, too. A soldier in disguise. She learned to fight as well as she could heal, because out there, under fire, sometimes saving a life meant taking another. And she was a good shot. A damn good shot. War had taken so much from her already. What more could it ask for? She was about to find out. π«π¨π§ππ₯π π¬π©π’ππ«π¬ π± πππ¦! ππ #1 in ronaldspeirs #1 in richardwinters #2 in WW2 #3 in medic #5 in bandofbrothers![Humanity of the Broken [ WWII / Band of Brothers ] 2](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/209182483-256-k464368.jpg)

I was painfully aware of how I was sitting on Dego's lap, his arm around my waist, mine around his neck. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, and he didn't either for several time stopping seconds. Then he slowly took a step in my direction, and kept walking until he was standing directly in front of Dego and I. β’~β’~β’~β’~β’~β’~β’β’~~β’ Two years ago Avery Blackwood's father met and married a demure Sunday school teacher, who, within a matter of months, spent his entire savings and completely wiped out everything he'd done over the years, wrapping up the whole thing by having an affair. Her father divorced the woman, but it was too late to save the families finances, and before they could even begin to get back on their feet, Daniel Blackwood is deployed to the middle east, leaving Avery with her wealthy cousins to try and acclimate to an environment foreign to the one she was raised in. The pressure builds until Avery makes the choice to leave, her destination over halfway across the country; her brothers ranch in southeastern Colorado. The only obstacles-she has fifty dollars to her name and no car, and her controlling aunt standing in the way. Influenced by a childhood of war and action movies, Avery, armed with a bowie knife and determination, simply heads out the back door and doesn't look back. She isn't expecting her envisioned trek across America to end so soon; a chance meeting with a family friend and neighbor who feels responsible for his friends daughter causes her to alter her plans. Within the few days she is with Weston Travers, she falls for him, and falls hard, but falling in love with someone ten years her senior may not have the fairytale ending every girl dreams about.

"Time travel hasn't yet been invented, but 30 years from now, it will have been." In a world like this one but slightly to the left, time travel exists, but only for those who committed felonies against the government. Those criminals are sent back in time at a specific time stamp to carefully stationed assassins called "Loopers" who lie and wait to kill whoever is sent back to them and collect their pay. Roman Prince is one of those said loopers, and he does his job quite well, until his target is sent back later than expected. And to make matters worse, his target, Logan Berry, brings mysteries of the future and secrets of himself that are far too intriguing to simply extinguish with a bullet to the head. In the span of a few minutes, his life is turned upside down, not with the harsh realities of what he's doing, but with the encouragement to get out of this sickening job that he hates. Will Roman and Logan escape their seemingly cemented places in time with their lives? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Based off of the movie "Looper" (2012) with Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
