[Copyright © 2014] In 1943, Charlotte Truly is a nineteen-year-old American nurse serving in World War II. The oldest of four daughters, Charlotte is mostly a shy and reserved girl who keeps to herself. But when Charlotte meets William McCaden, an injured soldier on leave whom she'd briefly met when she was seventeen, she finds herself falling inexplicably in love. When Will is shipped overseas to Nazi-occupied France to fight in a deadly combat mission, Charlotte and Will have only their letters to keep each other close... but in the midst of war, how can love possibly survive?

DISCLAIMER: This work was written when I, Raine the author, was 14 years old (circa 2014) and is a FIRST DRAFT. Certain aspects of this story are highly problematic and should rightfully be called out. Please do bear in mind, however, that the entirety of what you see here was written (unedited) by a 14-year-old girl. 

Now, I as a 20-year-old writing student am fully aware of my mistakes and would like to apologize profusely for them. They are not reflective of my present character by any means and I can assure you that I FULLY condemn the slut-shaming, misogyny, white saviorism, racism, and the general oversimplification of vastly complex themes and historical contexts you might see in Yours Truly (2014). As much as I would like to chalk it all up to being a sign of the times (the very backwards 1940s), I understand now how I should have handled this particular time period with more tact and discretion. Especially with how I recklessly portrayed the horrific racial climate of the 1940s American South. Again, I am very sorry and can wholeheartedly promise you that any later drafts of Yours Truly would 100% rework all of these themes and contexts with the utmost of consideration towards the communities they affect directly. Thank you.

The Peacekeepers: Secret War by Puzzler_23

Christian theologian and philosopher Augustine of Hippo once said, "The purpose of all war is peace". In the world we live in today, this saying is one much too true. The Great War, the Second World War, the Vietnam War... these are all examples of such a catastrophe. Which ever one is made topic for discussion, the results are still the same - millions dead, and if not, suffering the aftermath. Despite all this, the sacrifices weren't in vain, as the necessary peace was kept. However, a war rages on, and this time, it could end the world. Two secret organizations, the Peacekeepers, who makes it its mission to protect the world, and the Southpaw, who's bent on destroying it. Hiroyuki Watanabe, a fellow Peacekeeper, is part of this war. A soldier, one too young. Along with his team of brave souls, the boy endeavors to end this secret war, before it ends humanity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: This was and still is my very first story. To elaborate even further, it was also my first time writing anything at all. My original intentions were to test the waters and see how it appeals to any and every reader that comes across it. So having mentioned that, it might not even count as a 'story', it more or less can be looked at as a 'prototype' of one. For any factual inaccuracies or misrepresentation of real-world concepts and ideas, those are on me, and I apologize if ever. I myself am still learning and trying to get the hang of things. On the other hand. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

The Lost Daughter by chloverstar

edit (7/6/23): bro what is this story? plot execution sucks fr 😭 A hard-working widow, Charlotte Wormwood, lost her daughter in a tragic accident. 20 years later, she stumbles across a homeless girl who appeared to have the same birthmarks as her deceased daughter! She appeared to have knowledge of her daughter's past life! Charlotte tries to solve the mystery of her daughter's death and the peculiar girl. She gets trapped in a morbid time machine which travels her to 1945, the year on her daughter's death, to try to save her from the events. Could this all be a coincidence or just some weird hoax? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone has there own secrets. Some are dark and morbid, even when everyone in your town talks about it. You swore to secrecy that they wouldn't tattle, but you sometimes can't trust them, even if something goes terribly wrong that the truth has to be uncovered.... Warning: contains violence in some scenes. I have no interest or intention in actually killing someone or something. This is just a book I like to write and criminal minds in the '40s-'60s got me thinking of writing my very first book (which is this one). Also, some sensitive topics include religion, so viewer discretion is advised. Enjoy reading this book. Thank you so much on reading this! I appreciate it! A/N: this is my first story ever. 🌚🌝 y'all this is my first story ever. pretty crap, if I do say so myself. so I apologize if the story and it's events is pretty confusing. It's super cringe and weird, because I made this a bit ago when I wasn't even a teen yet. ➪ started: 4/12/21 ➪ published: 4/14/21 ➪ finished: 10/11/21

It Started With A Shipper (Crush×reader) by Shadow_Diclonius

!!!WARNING!!! There are many elements of this story that have aged like milk. I am an older, wiser man now and I am aware that this is is a poorly written garbage piece I made when I was a kid. It's bad. It's *really* bad, but I feel as though editing it now would harm the integrity of how it was originally written. I will leave this up, but be warned, it is not pleasant. I'm sorry to anyone I may offend with my poor choices and judgment. (Edit Sep 2025) This is for a friend, but anyone eles is free to use it for their own plesure. This is more romance then smut, so if you want smut go read some other stuffs, kay? ^-^ S/O to @liv_8809 For giving me the idea to write this @ZilverSkitty For helping me write some of the later chapters.

The Cultist And The Demolitionist (Artificer X Reader) by Skyarcher07

You end up in a land unlike anything you can imagine. Far from home and lost you must hold out and survive till you can get back with the help of a dangerous, explosive stranger all while trying to keep your teachings close as their challenged. Pacifist at heart and a gifted member of the Transendets, nothing will stop you from getting home. ____ Notes: The update schedule is not fixed and is completely random. I did not make the cover art, I got it from the Rain World Discord Server. Forgot who made it but if they see this credits to them. Also any art or music or videos you see is not made by me and belongs to the owners who made them. If anyone wants their art removed please tell me All the characters in this story that are not Y/N or anyone who obviously isn't in the game belong to the creators of Rain World over at Videocult, I don't own any of them neither Rain World itself. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO READ UP ON RAIN WORLD LORE BEFORE READING. I'm not the best on it either. This Story is obviously inspired by Katsoup69's "Morality and Mortality". I recommend you go give it a read, it's definitely better than this. SERIOUSLY DO IT! (I will remind you constantly to do it) You go by They/Them so everyone can feel included and Artificer is Female as I see her as a female character. Badass woman. This has very mature themes, like not so detailed gore, death, trauma and other things. I will try my best not to get burnt out but I can't promise anything really. I am open to criticism I really do suck at writing.

Without You (Bob Floyd x Reader) [Top Gun : Maverick] by 7silverspringss

!!READ DESC FIRST!!! (important part in '!!') With Y/N having just been fired, she's stuck home with her boring boyfriend, Miles. They break up and she leaves with literally no where to go. She hates pilots, and her luck has her stuck in a city where nearly everyone flies. Ending up staying with a decent naval aviator who's name is literally Brad, she meets and falls for a charming young WSO, while a different asshole airman tries to hook up with her. Lots of drama, no smut (sorry) and very interesting development because I had no plan going into this. - started July 2022 ended February 2023 - !!!!!!! Looking back, I absolutely hate this story, but a lot of people seem to like it, therefore, I am leaving it up. I was way too young to be writing this shit, cut me some slack. Please know my writing and storytelling has gotten SO much better, I'm extremely proud of my other published works and this one was just... eugh... I agree with every single critique this has gotten. HOWEVER its my most read story and the only one I get notified about even after 3 years. Lots of love. Thanks for all the continued support :)) Please read my other stories I promise they're much better in every single way. !!!! - "Wanna race to the water?" "Like kids?" "Obviously." - A bob x reader fic because there aren't enough 🤭 - Theres also a little bit of a love triangle so 😮

Odd Rose by Daancer_16

-"Why are you crying?" What, I didn't know I was crying. -"Come on." He offers a hand to help me up. -"Stay away... from me." I get up on my own a grunt escaping my lips when I feel pain in my knees. -"Your knees!" He crouches down to look at them up close. -"Oh don't act as if you care." I look down and see he has wet hair, which is reasonable since he came out of the bathroom. *Swoop* He scoops me up, my injured knees on his left and my head rests on his right shoulder. I hitch as he picks me up. -"What do you think you're doing? Put me down this instant!" I try to wiggle out of his arms, but it's useless, he holds me tighter to his chest. He gently places me on the bed, and I sit on the edge, I instantly throw my hand to his face intending to slap him. As if it were muscle memory he blocks my hand and gently holds it. He crouches down not breaking eye contact. -"Stella, I'm... sorry. I acted out on you." I know Jacob, and that probably was hard for him to admit. -"Let me treat your knees." He places a gentle hand over my wound. ~ ~ ~ ~ Her Dad was murdered fighting for what was right, her mom didn't love her dad all that much...or her, she plans to follow her dad's footsteps even though that might lead her to death. Her parents had a planed marriage, her mom was more on the medium class while her dad was lower, that said, he needed money to help some important people and ended up marrying a women he didn't love. She has an awful opinion of men. She loved her dad, but she was still mad at him, for his decisions. A little something might happen in her life to change that perspective.

The One Who Stole the Sky by WhiteRice1718

*COMPLETED* "Liesel, what's the matter?" Max's concern was that of a mother's, so flat, but so serious. "Max, there is no one to thank left." Liesel changed her view to peer at the dusty floor. She missed Max's countenance gaping mouth and large eyes afflicted by her words. Not only had Max stolen the sky, he stole Liesel's heart too. Now, in Post-WWII Germany, the Allies have brought relief. Life is just beginning to come out of hiding, ready to blossom and flourish as it once did before. No one no longer cowers in fear. But something stirs in Russia: Communism. How will a Jew and innocent German girl make it safely in this ever-changing world that is right out their door? NOTE: This is after The Book Thief story (sequel if you will), so there are some spoilers if you haven't seen/read anything about it. However, if you don't care about the movie/book/spoilers, then it still makes for an eye opening, post-WWII fan fiction. Personally, I feel this is my best piece of writing I've ever shared on Wattpad. I hope everyone enjoys! NOTE: I DO NOT own any of the characters or the cover picture!
