My mother's eyes never held love for me, not since that fateful day when I turned eight. I often wondered why - was it because I struggled in school, or maybe my appearance reminded her too much of my sister who slipped away from us? But no, it was something deeper. At six years old, I buried my childhood, trading it for endless hours of studying, perfecting every skill, every trait, every move - all to become the flawless daughter my mother coveted. But every time she looked at me, her gaze would linger on my face, and I knew - I was still just a replica of my sister. My neighbors would glance over, admiration sparkling in their eyes, but she didn't notice.Trophies gathered dust in our living room, but she remained blind to them. My cooking could impress even the most discerning palates - but she never tasted it. The vacation I won through a writing contest? Just a distant memory, overshadowed by her indifference. Until that day, the mail arrived, and everything shifted. Inside the envelope lay an admission letter to NASW - a school owned and operated by the government. People whispered about NASW in hushed tones, fearing its name like a bad omen. Only the gifted and intelligent walked its halls. I approached my mother, letter trembling in my hand. Her response? A casual shrug. No excitement, no pride - just a monotone voice telling me I was going. My heart sank, but I didn't let tears fall. I swallowed my hopes, my dreams of a happy family, of a mother who loved me unconditionally. I accepted her words silently, no complaints, no begging - just a mask of obedience. That was the day I understood - I was never her flesh and blood, never her real child... just a clone. My birthday arrived the next day, but there were no celebrations - only a suitcase packed by my mother, a ticket to the airport. I remember smiling faintly and making her a promise: I would bring her daughter back to her. Little did I know, that promise would become my everything...

Piano keys were her childhood, but the grasp of a pistol was her reality. Polish SOE Agent, Natia Filipska, has lurked among the rubble and the shadows of her occupied-Warsaw for years, ever since the war started and ripped her from the life that had guaranteed happiness and opportunity. The SOE took her in, as well as her two siblings, Klimeck and Ryzshard, arming them with a fighting spirit, and a chance at survival, at a life where they could avenge the ones that were taken. Being apart of the Cichociemni came next, Elite Polish Paratroopers, and it was their ticket home. Ever since her feet had then touched the ground, she had been fighting with her home and her people - the Polish Home Army. The Warsaw Uprising got her captured, and then being on the run nearly got her killed - her only ally was the pistol at her side. The Dutch Resistance of Eindhoven, Holland housed her, but it would never be her home. Upon liberation though, her path crossed with an Airborne Infantry - the 101st Airborne Division - the Screaming Eagles - American men. To ensure her safety back to Warsaw, Poland and her family, Easy Company and their men might be her only hope. But hope was lost long ago. ------------------------- " Well, I've been 'fraid of changin' 'Cause I've built my life around you But time makes you bolder Even children get older And I'm gettin' older, too...." - Landslide, Fleetwood Mac ---------- mature themes are held within the context of this story that may be triggering to some people: death, smoking, alcohol, killings, and severe depression, along with mental health issues. --------- band of brothers + oc's { October 2nd 2020 } UPDATES BEGIN - Fridays starting 10 - 2 - 20 started: 7/4/20 ended: 3/15/23 ------------------------ NEW COVER!!! done by ME!!! credits on words by @swedeandspicy

17 parts Ongoing Mature
Shall we do an experiment? Hear me out: an enemies-to-lovers where love is complicated but never toxic. Where the female lead knows what she wants and takes it. Where the male lead doesn't growl, rage or slam her into walls. A journey with all the angst, secrets, spice and heartbreak of dark romance without the abuse. Are you ready? ******************************************** It's 1984, Queen on the radio and rage in the streets. Moira Bourne, stretched thin between her nanny job, family drama and university classes, fights for the recognition she deserves. Evander Ward, fresh from a gap year in Europe and eager to prove himself, is ready for redemption. Two people whose paths were never meant to cross. When they do, the collision blows their life to smithereens. ******************************************** "Pass the tea, will you?". It came over me - it being it all, the shame, the anger, the sense of injustice and the nine hours I hadn't slept the night before. Those, maybe, more than anything else, because I reached for said tea and, possessed by that mighty cocktail of resentment, spat in it. I did so making sure he could see it, he could hear it. Then I passed it over to him and waited. His smile, at this point, had turned overjoyed, putting the previous ones to shame, revealing their graft. He had received the answer he was hoping for. He took the cup and chugged it down. Looked me straight in the eye and drunk it all. ******************************************** Fair warning: mentions of racism, ED, assault, sexism, and classism ahead. You know where your limits lie. If you find yourself growing uncomfortable with the content, stop reading.

"She was a rogue agent. A master in worshipping her work and herself. But suddenly she disappeared, without any track. Some thought she is dead, some thought she has taken a momentarily break and some thought she was still looking out for a chance to pounce on any other gang. I don't blame them, she had a track record for doing that and she was pretty good at it." Her last kill before she vanished out of this world of war, was one of the biggest group of smugglers. Now, many other groups and rogue agents are trying to track her down for one reason or another, but in that crowd this last group which she tackled down to ashes is also included. Not revenge but something bigger. More than hard feelings, more than just a rage of vengeance. Something to gnaw at for a specific reason. Any guesses why this group is searching for it's biggest enemy? ●●●●● "Why did you refuse...?! "Beacuse...I don't want to lose the people ..I c-care for anymore..!" My eyes became wide as I realized what I said... . . ".......you.... . Care for....... . . . .....me? . . . . . . . . .

A series of unexplained murders. A romantic story that was meant to evolve into a story of pain, death and destruction. Secrets lied buried in a village called Snowshill and one secret above all haunted the two sisters. Victoria, a charismatic girl with the ability to predict the future through her dreams, along with her sister Alice were determined to unravel the truth. The darkness was slowly consuming everything but not for long, as soon as the two sisters found a diary with all the answers, everything became clearer, but did it really? What they didn't know was that opening it, unleashed the greatest evil of all. A sudden murder drove Alice seeking for revenge. She was forced to learn to use her feminine side in an attempt to penetrate through the dangerous underground world. She tricked the cards, stole money, hit casinos. History, though, proved itself a worthy opponent, and she came to experience firsthand how destiny could be kind and cruel in the same stroke. In the end only one thing was certain, three may keep a secret, if two of them were dead.
