Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019] by amanda_denney_writes
11 parts Complete
It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).
Shard of Exile by watdoiread
8 parts Ongoing Mature
The first wizarding war is over at the cost of a child's soul. Not a single witch or wizard came to comfort or look for Emry; just the cold confirmation of her brother, sister-in-law, and nephews death by the hands of Albus Dumbledore. He said they gave the greatest sacrifice, as if it was planned all along. As if their deaths, Sirius' arrest, Remus' estrangement, and her own torture and delayed rescue was all part of some master plan. But Emry knew better than that. Exiling herself from the wizarding world had been Albus' idea; however, he was unaware that she refused to completely leave the wizarding world behind. How could she? She refused to completely turn away from the world she grew up in. And it turns out, the universe wasn't going to let her leave it behind either. Watch as Emry battles through life with the Savior by her side, who brings with her a child that brings her right back to one of the core parts of her being: magic. Turns out her exile was only a shard of exile after all. *A Harry Potter and Once Upon A Time crossover*
