Lilac is a play influenced by the stories of those who were persecuted for their sexuality during the Nazi occupation of Germany, and through out history in general. It expresses themes of love, but it is not a romance - it is a story that depicts the subconscious search for identity and community.

Gram's Divide
A quiet, romantic and dangerous WW2 spy story about two men who should never have met. In the wake of Operation Barbarossa, the rapid Nazi advance severed Moscow's direct radio link with its agents in the German heartland. By late 1941, the Soviet intelligence apparatus was in disarray. Sergei is sent to the Brandenburg border on a desperate mission: protect a clandestine radio relay station - a mission that throws him into a deadly dance with Andreas, a Gestapo official. Their fates collide in a Communist-led assassination attempt, but the true battle lies in the silence that follows. "Between them now lies an invisible blade, much like the mythic sword Gram that once parted a hero from his valkyrie. On which side of the steel does love lie, and on which, duty?" Notes: Hey everyone! Just a quick note before you dive in. This story was first written in Chinese on ao3 and someone say people may like it here so I am trying to translate this into English. This is a FICTIONAL spy story set during WWII. That means I've taken creative liberties with the plot and characters to tell (hopefully) a gripping tale! To be crystal clear: writing about this period and including organizations like the Gestapo is for narrative drama only. It is NOT a support or endorsement of the Nazis' hateful and abhorrent ideology, which I stand firmly against. Okay, with that important bit said... I hope you enjoy the story!

The War She Painted| ✓
Set against the ravaged landscape of World War II Europe, The War She Painted follows Zora Lenz, a biracial German woman whose life unravels under the Nazi regime. Born in Berlin to a German painter and a French-Senegalese mother, Zora once lived a quiet, art-filled life with her husband Wilhelm Weiss and their young son, Lukas. But when Wilhelm joins the SS and renounces her to preserve his status, Zora is torn from her family, her son seized, and her identity erased. Branded as "impure," Zora is arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she endures forced labor, starvation, and dehumanization. There, she learns the language of survival, silence, endurance, and clings to fragments of hope. Her memories of Lukas keep her alive through nights of horror in the camp's brothel, where she becomes both prisoner and pawn in a machinery of cruelty designed to erase women like her. When she catches the attention of the Kommandant, a cold, enigmatic man who both despises and is fascinated by her, Zora's fate takes a twisted turn. He removes her from the camp, claiming to need her artistic skill, and brings her to his estate. What follows is a haunting, psychological entanglement, an uneasy coexistence between victim and captor, built on power, obsession, and a strange, reluctant empathy. As the war's end approaches and Germany begins to burn from within, Zora is drawn into a web of impossible choices between vengeance and forgiveness, love and freedom, captivity and escape.Complete
Lilies - Grell Sutcliff Songfic
Cross-posted to my Ao3. A Grell Sutcliff songfic inspired by the song Lilies by Ethel Cain. I wrote it in about thirty minutes, so, it's nowhere near perfect. I may make it a full story if well received enough- we shall see. The reader is a cis woman, but otherwise as ambiguous as possible race and feature wise. Grell is canonically a bisexual trans woman, so she also is here, accept and like it or don't read.Complete
