At just nineteen, Reinhard Bäumer answers the call of the Fatherland, enlisting in the Imperial German Army with hopes of getting away from his strict and unsympathetic father to a brand new world. But the war he marches into is nothing like the one he imagined. Amid the endless trenches, mud, and blood of the Western Front, Reinhard is forced to confront the grim reality of survival in a conflict that spares no one. Caught between duty, despair, and the will to endure, he must face a haunting question: will he live to see the war's end-or be swallowed by it?

After War Is Over
It's 1917. You are a medic in the war, crawling through no man's land to save your fellow soldiers. You are captured during you rendezvous by a German field medic -- a dark haired man who's pointing a Mauser at you and bleeding out. You must save him, you have no choice. You commit treachery -- you fall in love with him, even when you don't speak the same language. - There is a lot of German in the fic, and I do NOT expect you to understand any of it. That's the point, the reader canonically cannot understand German. You aren't expected to translate everything (but you can if you want to, I might have slipped in a few jokes.) Tactically translated German (Aka Maxis translating) is in bolded sentences.Complete
~The Bullet Hole's Kiss~ ( König x Male Reader )
29/03/2025 : Please stop reading this, I find it do cringe now :'( LOTS of military inaccuracies. A König x male reader and original characters insert in Call Of Duty. You are a french man, engaging in the special forces, in the same base as TF141. Though you got shot once, it doesn't bother you that much. Will you be able to make friends, even if there's a giant and gaping hole in your face ? Will they be open-minded enough to accept your homosexuality ? Will you be able to get close to the socially anxious man ? ~ Presence of angst, character deaths, depiction of violence, description of wounds, light mental health issues, mention of past starving, mentions of the mean german people who were really active from 1939 to 1945, out of storyline Call Of Duty. Please note that English is not my first language and I might do mistakes, feel free to correct them though. Also, this doesn't follow any COD plot, the characters in COD might feel OOC, and I apologize for that. Surprise surprise, I don't own Call Of Duty. Started : 01/02/2023Complete
Darkness Dissolves When the Door Opens
[60.000-70.000 words] Trapped in a Japanese occupied island, Jules West and other allied soldiers were fighting for their survivals. Facing losses and mental breakdown were not their only problems since the whole island tried to kill them. It had been one year since Jules saw the outside world. For one year he stayed beneath the hundred years old European Cathedral, cut off from everything that happened in the world. He felt like an alien, a sewer monster that crept in the dark and leapt and consumed everyone who passed him. He felt filthy. He was disgusted by his own form, that maybe when he accidentally sees himself in the reflection of water, he would be scared to see his own visage.Complete
