Daniel Pov Prisoner Of Night And Fog
I HAVE NO RIGHTFUL CLAIMS OF THE PRISONER OF NIGHT AND FOG, ALL CREDIT GOES TO ANNE BLANKMAN Daniel's perspective of Prisoner of night and fog Warning: MENTION OF ABUSE, ANIMAL ABUSE/DEATH, ANTISEMITISM, NAZIS I would like to mention that some chapters might be short since Daniel isn't in any of the chapters, so I have to make do with what we have, and I tried to extend it. This is just a retelling, so I have rewritten the book to suit Daniels perspective. I've added things in (Like some conversations, or actions) that weren't written, but only when there's a time skip, and in away it hopefully alines with what is written. I've also had to write things in, so we have some understanding of what happened to Gretchen, like when they went to the doctors or when Gretchen was out of town, I've just added lines so you can know what happened with her (Although Gretchen does explain what happens, it's just not written, so it's just 'Gretchen explained what had happened') If you read my other books about the series, you'd know who these people are, you have a better understanding of the fanfictions.Complete
Chasing Colours
"Mein Kampf. My struggle. It is different for everyone, is it not? I just didn't want to see the world from someone else's point of view. I have my own story, so do you and so does everyone. These white pages are for me to write my story" --- x --- x---- Two young hearts in love. The propaganda that questioned humanity. A war that divided the world. The pages of history that sullied the soil. A tale was spun when Germany entered a new era with Adolf Hitler. With that tale happened the forbidden story of two young Germans in love, an Aryan and a Jew. As the world was thrown into the chaos of the Second World War and the Holocaust, new horrors unfolded in the peaceful lives of the young lovers. Death and despair that was tested with the strength of a smile or two.Complete
FATE/Anodyne - Male Reader x Florence Nightingale
You are a cornet-one of the youngest officers of the Light Cavalry, your commission bought not long ago, your sword bright with polish but untested in blood. Crimea is to be your proving ground, or your grave. No one can say which. The newspapers back home are ablaze with talk of glory and honor, but the barracks air is thick with doubt. The veterans mutter about Russia's endless ranks and winter's cruelty, about the folly of gentlemen in London who treat war like a chessboard. Still, your regiment-the Light Brigade-rides with pride. Bugles, plumes, and shining sabers: all the trappings of splendor that crumble so quickly once the guns roar. When orders finally come, there is no hesitation. Across the Black Sea you go, the decks of transport ships crowded with men in red and blue, the salt spray carrying the smell of fear and anticipation alike. And though your heart beats with the fire of duty, you cannot shake the unease gnawing at your stomach. You will see combat soon. You will kill, or be killed. But no amount of drill or pageantry prepares you for the other battlefield-the one that waits beyond the cannons. Rows upon rows of the wounded. Fevers burning hotter than gunpowder. The sound of groans louder than bugles. It is there, amid the stench of disease and despair, that you will meet her. The Lady with the Lamp. Florence Nightingale.![Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/196405621-256-k421239.jpg)
Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019]
It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).Complete
