John dreams nightly of an England long gone as his mundane life slips into joyless routine. When a chance encounter rekindles nostalgia for his hometown, he wonders if the past yet echoes now. As memories of youthful camaraderie and national pride flicker back to life, can John rediscover his faded spirit before the lights go out on his dreams of England's former glory?

The Man Of The Cross And Shields [Medieval!EnglandxReader]
'One foot out of England, one foot in Wales,' A man with a tragic back story, and a man meant to be a king. What he was, is what he will be. Fantasy, legends, adventures, romance, action, and a peek of the life during the Medieval Era, more specifically an Englishman and his meant to be. From yard training to crusade. From a page to a king. From a arrogance to humbleness. What could have made a man whose mind is shrouded in his own pride worship a woman way below him? What would? It is like a fairytale. Would it end happily? Would it end in tears? 'A man without a quest is a man lost of himself.' -Arthur: The Seeing Stone [This story is inspired by the Arthur Trilogy and Arthurian Legends]Complete

My dear friend, my parents are divorced. Maybe I should say that. For most times of the year, I'd stay with my mother, through the seasons of summer, winter and autumn. But when spring casted it's pollen and petals, I made my way to my fathers house to spend my entire spring break. It was the only season Dad had time to take care of me. Though, it's not just visiting my father I always look forward to. No, because in his house on in an annexed room lies the the blossoming of my very first love. I don't want to sound deep and complex, but that's what my first love was. The trees would rustle and the wind would blow soft pink petals into the room. I hope while I'm on the train ride to my fathers place, I can tell you the whole story. The story of why and the story of what happened during those springs. Every year. Every spring. Well, almost. Yours truly, Kiley.Complete

This is a story about me. I loved, and I lost. Everything I could gather from the fragments of my memories, emotions, and reflections, I've poured onto the pages of this book. It's not just a tale of heartbreak or longing-it's an attempt to make sense of it all, to piece together what remains after life takes away what matters most. These pages hold my joys, my regrets, and everything in between. If you've ever loved deeply, if you've ever lost something irreplaceable, then perhaps you'll find a part of yourself here too.Complete
