espionage fiction gay historical history italy lgbt lgbtq queer rome spy texttospeech thriller wwii

Summer, 1953. The Cold War simmers across Europe. Stalin is dead. Italy faces a hot summer before going to the polls. And Henry Lapin, trained but unblooded, must unravel a Fascist conspiracy which threatens the future of a country slowly returning to democracy.

From the cold Adriatic in the company of Albanian pirates, to the gore-streaked beaches of Puglia. From the majestic Roman Forum to the dingy and vicious Pugio Club. And from the peaks of the Gothic Line to the dungeons beneath, Henry Lapin and dashing police lieutenant Emilio Rossolini battle for Italy's soul.

Colonel Berry by ZonderZorg

This is the fifth volume of my award-winning Wattpad Featured Story, 'Posted As Missing', an intense adventure/romance set in the turmoil of World War One Europe. I've grown tired of blood-and-guts war stories, so I've written this series to examine deeper issues. David left the battlefields in the first chapter of the first volume of this story, and to this point, he has not returned to them. He has found far more effective ways to fight the German war machine. You might wish to read the earlier volumes in this series: 'Posted As Missing', 'Missing', 'Back in Action' and 'Watching Fritz'.

What happens when Beckett decides to marry an already married woman?

Is This The End? by Kirbical

I had been living in this dystopian universe my whole life. We lived simple, meaningless lives. I wasn't sad, merely dissatisfied. No one here was ever sad. The Center, which was our government, forced us to take a pill every morning to make sure we were always happy and healthy. For most of our lives we lived at home with our odd families that the government stuck us into as babies. Usually five children were put into each household. We grew up together in a single house, raised and taught by a robot even though none of us were related. We lived at home with limitless entertainment in the form of advanced technologies. We had one day of the week for shopping, one day for going out and one day for labor. On labor days we were assigned a job and had to complete it in order to gain money for the week. Everyone got the same amount no matter the job. If you didn't show up for these jobs there were grave consequences. The Center often used torture as a method of punishment, or so we were told. No one close to me had ever actually been punished by The Center though. It was incredibly rare. Most of us lived our lives as good little pawns doing nothing more than eating, sleeping and entertaining ourselves. But one day, my regular boring life changed...

Just Tourists ✔️ by 94sMixtape

Highest Rank: ||Mystery/Thriller #1|| ||Action #3|| We don't have a written manual on how to survive being a teenage girl and an agent for a secret government organization but there are definitely a few unmentioned rules that we spy girls go by: -You can never trust anyone, especially not hot boys, whether you're on a mission or not. -Your cover is your best weapon, so don't blow it. -Always buy the shoes... you may never know if you'll get a second chance. -Most importantly don't get attached to the subject. Especially if said subject is cute, because when in Rome...not all is as it seems. I mean you wouldn't guess a group of American girls were actually spies working for a secret agency right? After all, we're Just Tourists ••BOOK 2 IN THE JUST UNDERCOVER TRILOGY•• *cover by @THEICEWOLVES

Twists and Turns by Gajeelthecatlover

The story of how the axis powers became and how life has it's little twists and turns that always end up where we wanted it to be. ***So yeah, this story had plenty of bl (as 98% of the works in this fandom do), a few curse words (because it's little Luci we're talking about here, he cursed like a sailor as a kid), etc. etc. You've been warned! And there's also some (not really) smut, but if you are a child I will not take the responsibility of ruining you. And if you are a very innocent adult, get off now. I'm talking to you, mis padres. *** *I also wrote this on archive of our own, so if you see another one just like this, it's mine.*
