"War gave nothing but false hopes"
Kyle Grimm's life isn't peaceful-it's bruised, loud, and full of questions no one wants to answer. When soldiers march through Frankmont to the sound of cheers and waving flags, Kyle sees more than patriotism-he sees a chance to matter. But war doesn't wait for the broken to heal. As violence creeps closer and a single encounter shifts everything, Kyle begins a march of his own-toward something that feels like purpose, and ends like silence.
Not every hero is born on the battlefield. Some are buried before they ever arrive.

Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick // Slice Of Life (xReader)
When you and Kyle met in high school, neither of you expected to have such a long and extensive history together. The type of lore you subtly drop to your grandchildren. From making foolish promises under the shade of a plane tree to becoming soldiers ready to take a bullet for each other in a heartbeat. **"You're a tough cookie," You snorted. "Tough enough to keep you in line, maybe." "Exactly," he said with a grin, his gaze sliding over to meet yours. "We'd make a good team, yeah? You and me, back to back. Out there kicking ass and saving the world or whatever." You sat up, brushing grass off your arms. "Alright, Gaz. Let's make a deal. If one of us joins, we join together. No excuses." "Deal," he said without hesitation, holding out his pinkie. You blinked at him. "A pinkie promise? Really?" "It's legally binding," he replied, deadpan. You huffed out a laugh but didn't leave him hanging. With a roll of your eyes, you hooked your pinkie with his.** Slice of Life is an exploration of friendship, love, and the sacrifices we make for the ones we hold dear. It's a quiet tale of those moments that shape us-some of them full of regret, others full of the quiet joy of knowing you're never truly alone.Complete
Stuck (In Search of the Non-existent)
Summary: The last day of Summer Camp '98 was the start of Phillip Harris' calvary. Surviving a traumatic event and losing the most important person in his life in just one night caused him great torment and suffering. Now, fourteen years have passed, and he's still stuck-stuck in search of something he couldn't grasp, a person he couldn't find, and a feeling he hadn't felt for a very long time. --- Foreword: This is my first original novel-a story about love and tragedy, of trauma and rumination, of losing and forgiving one's self, of a hope for reunion and second chances... or a hope for a new love and acceptance of the past. This story is set on different timelines: 1997 and 1998 as the past, while 2012 as the present while there will be an epilogue in the year I finish this story (hopefully 2016) just to give a glimpse of what happened after years of the story's conclusion. I started drafting this around 2022-2023 but back then it was all just drafts, so I really hope I can finish this soon, at least in 2026. -- Warning: There are some derogatory words here as some part of the book was set in the 90's and my main character was bullied as a teenager. There will be character developments throughout though, I promise. Although I put a bit of myself to some characters, most of their quirks, hobbies, perception, and personality don't reflect the author's own ones :)
WHERE WINTER BLOOMS
Sometimes, first love isn't a person. It's the first time someone truly sees you. Nathan sings in silence. No one knows he does. No one asks why he stopped shining. Ryan pretends he's fine. No one notices he's breaking inside. A paper plane connects them. An empty theater listens. And in the middle of the world's noise, two boys find in music a language more honest than words. But growing up hurts. Loving hurts more. And the fear of disappointing those who should protect you can be louder than any melody. This story is for those who've ever felt like they didn't belong. For those who carry invisible wounds and still dare to dream. For those who know that love doesn't always shout... sometimes, it just sings.

Soaked Tyrants
This is for a project at school. I wanted to share it to people as well. Though it is a "Man in the High Castle" like story. So, if you are sensitive to those things please consider not reading this, but that is it. Anyway, Simon Frank is on his way home.Complete
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 Golden Soldier (Call of Duty: WW2 Fanfiction)
Avaline Baker is a young woman on a camping trip with friends when she decides to go into a museum that will change her life forever. Somehow transported into the future, Ava finds herself at the barrel tip of Nazi German soldier. Transported to their camp as prisoner, Ava is lost and confused as to what, where, and who she is with...the how part is the most antagonizing. Shortly after being saved by two American men, Ava discovers she's been placed at the center of World War Two. Surrounded by warfare and American men who have strict mindsets about women in the the 1940's, the 21-year-old feels like she has no hope of surviving. To even have a chance, Ava has to prove that just because she's a woman, doesn't mean she isn't capable of fighting to survive like the rest of them. Ava finds herself stuck in 1944, with "strange" technology called a cell phone, no way of charging it, and no way of getting home. In the midst of a gruesome and horrifying war, she finds herself questioning more than just sanity of the time period, but even her own. Hopefully, with careful and calculating steps, Ava will survive the blistering cold winters, the first-hand experience of a war, and developing a difficult bond with the men of 1st Platoon. --•--•--•-- This is a work of fan-fiction, which means I don't own practically anything. Except for Aveline Baker and some scenes. Will be based off of/follow the campaign. This work has content pertaining to difficult aspects of WW2 including blood and gore; swearing/harsh language; sexual/crude comments and actions; German POW camps; etc. Please DO NOT READ if you aren't comfortable or have too strong opinions on things related to WW2. It's a fictional story and, thus, should be treated like it. On flip side, there will humor. Especially from Zussman- we all like him. And don't forget moments from hardass Pierson...those will get interesting too. ;) ~Started on September 1st, 2018~ ~Finished September 1st, 2019~Complete
River Teeth
On the edge of graduating from high school, Stan proposes to Kyle in the hopes they can run away together; finally getting out that little mountain town. However, Kyle isn't sure if it's the right thing to do and turns him down. The next day, Stan goes missing. Pure hell ensues. A couple of things you should know about this fic: 1. There will be triggering plot points. If you're sensitive to things like suicide or domestic abuse, then please don't read. I've done my absolute best to write gracefully about these things, but your mental health is more important. 2. There are "Fractured But Whole" AU elements in this story, as are supernatural influences.Complete
