"We happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me, Shall be my brother." -William Shakespeare "King Henry V"
What if you were numbered among the men who stood against the tyranny of Hitler and Japan?
What if you experienced what they did, after learning about it in your history class?
Watching the men you learned about do their job in the middle of the blood and the bullets.
John Hall, the young Guardian, family gone and Hyrule destroyed, felt like life couldn't get any worse. But that was going to change. He was now in the middle of the worlds bloodiest conflict, fighting alongside unsung heroes of old, making new friends, and bringing a friendship back to life. Follow him through his war story, from Pearl Harbor to the beaches of Normandy, as he changes history, and as history changes him.

Genesis: the Beginning and the End | Band of Brothers
Genesis... ...well Genesis is a spy. She has always been a spy. In occupied France, 1944, the Nazis are so close to finding her. She's so close to being burned, but she manages. She manages to just keep their suspicions off of her. But she needn't for long, as the date of her extraction is drawing near. And as she waits, she wonders "who will I have to be next?" This is the story of Genesis, from her very beginning to her very end. _ "And when the shouting started she would not hesitate, for she was a soldier now and to hesitate meant to die." - There is an eventual canon character x OC, but I shan't tell you who because I'm mean. Just some stuff I need to point out, which I will re-iterate in the first part (the welcome and disclaimer) incase you haven't read this far: There is a lot of SWEARING- like a lot, my OC is a potty mouth. Smoking and alcohol feature fairly heavily - SMOKING is not good for your health, but if you do/are going to smoke, please do so responsibly and safely - ALCOHOL is fine as long as it is consumed responsibly, please don't binge drink as it will seriously damage your body. This story contains GRAPHIC VIOLENCE and MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH because, as you know, Band of Brothers is during WORLD WAR 2 and so there was an awful lot of that.

Selected for the Wattpad Historical Fiction profile's top 25 shortlist in the Historical Awards 2023 #1 in Feminist, #1 in Easy Company, #1 Band of Brothers Book 2 - * - * - * - "No war can be won without young men dying. Those things which are precious are saved only by sacrifice." - Stephen E. Ambrose, Band of Brothers - * - * - * - War never changes, but who you fight alongside does. In 1942, Alice Klein left the French Maquis to assist the American's paratrooper corps. She lost everything to the Nazis when she left: her family, her country, and her friends. But she gained Easy Company. Alice and the rest of Easy Company have been through six long months of combat already. They've seen friends die. But they're about to enter the toughest months yet. December in Bastogne brings trench foot, artillery barrages, and snipers. It brings frostbite and stupid mistakes. And above all, D-Day + 193 brings death. As the war drags on, Alice must face hard truths about what it means to be a German Jew. Events from 1942 come to light which force her to rethink everything she knew about her family's fate. As it turned out, Germans were the first victims of the Nazi party. Thankfully, Alice doesn't have to face it alone. While some faces disappear forever, others become closer than she could have ever imagined. Because though war never changes, who you fight it with does. - * - * - * - Pairing: Lewis Nixon/OC BOOK TWO in [ A Tale of Two Heritages ] Start Date: March 24, 2020 End Date: May 11, 2020 Word Count: 139,901 Cross-posted to FFN and Ao3 - * - * - * - THIS CONTAINS realistic depictions of world war ii, realistic depictions of the holocaust, strong language, major character death, cigarette abuse, alcohol abuseComplete

Letters to History
Born to the wind on an Iowa plain, Where the cornfields sway and whisper names, He came of age as the world went dark, With fire in his soul and a patriot's heart. December skies in '41- Pearl was struck, and the world undone. On the very day he turned eighteen, He signed his name, joined the machine. Not for glory or a flag unfurled- But to fight the evil in the world. From the Seventh to the Seventy-First, He carried a weight that only grew worse. Busted down for a righteous blow- A brother in arms laid low for woe. He saw a girl-young, Black, and scared, And struck the one who didn't care. Not all battles are waged with guns- Some are fought when the right's undone. Son of Alfred, soldier and shield, Who fought in France, then walked the beat, Whose badge gave law, whose cancer stole- Allman bore that father's soul. Elaine, his mother, soft but steel, Taught him how to stand and feel. He marched through Europe's shattered bones, With dreams of home and gravel roads. Brothers in arms, some lost, some saved- He buried many, dug many graves. But never did he lose his grip On what was just, or let it slip. Klink-a name from the Prussian line, Now forged in stars and battle signs. He carried old blood, and a newer creed: That no man should suffer for another's greed. So raise a glass to Iowa's son- Who fought for peace with fists and guns. The war may end, but tales still link The strength and fire of Allman Klink.Complete
We Don't Choose Our Time
"We don't get to choose our time. Death is what gives life meaning. To know your days are numbered, your time is short." - The Ancient One Ben had been happy once upon a time. But that was a long time ago. That was before his world was torn from his claws, leaving behind a broken, angry shell. Now a mercenary, he only seeks to endure the rest of his days trying to forget his misery. But that all changes when a client charges him with looking after a young girl. - I wrote this a few years ago, thought I'd give it a whirl online. It's pretty short, not quite novel worthy, but enough to get the job done, I think. And yes, this is basically The Last of Us, but with wolves (mostly different, but the plot is very similar). If I ever write a sequel, I can assure you it will be nothing like the actual sequel.Complete![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
