It is the night of of April 18, 1775, and the British Regulars are out to strike a blow against the rebellious colonists of Massachusetts. The young men of Acton, MA along with men from surrounding towns are called on to serve their colony. However, there is a major issue for these men, when they discover someone in their company is a spy for the British Army. Discovering the traitor in their midst in time could determine the outcome of one of the first battles of the Revolutionary War.
This is dedicated to all of the patriots who served on the Lexington Alarm at the North Bridge, Bunker Hill, and elsewhere (this includes several of my ancestors). All Americans are indebted to them and their service to the cause for independence.

Edelweiss || Bucky x Reader
"A gift." One guard says to someone else in the room as he leaves. I groan in pain and scrunch myself into a ball, squeezing my eyes shut. Seconds later I hear shuffling and then someone is beside me. "Y/N?" Asks a voice. No- Bucky's voice. My whole body relaxes and I let out a soft breath. He's ok. ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Staying together has always been the most important thing to Y/N Rogers. After the death of her mother left her an orphaned 15-year-old, her friendship with her older brother Steve and best friend Bucky mattered more than ever. She latched onto them, finding some bittersweet solace in their closeness. In turn, they finished raising her. The three were inseparable. Even now, six years later, nothing has changed. So when Bucky and Steve both leave to fight in the war the last thing she's going to do is stay in Brooklyn. Nothing's too far if it keeps their trio together. Not leaving everything she knows behind, not shoving down feelings she's refused to acknowledge for years, not even risking her life time and time again. It's the kind of commitment fueled by an infinite amount of love, but guaranteed to end in disaster, every single time.

The Royal Resistance
A spray of glass flew onto her as he broke the windows of the cabin. She heard the second ring come from the phone in her hand, the one clutched to her heart. He lunged and grabbed at her arm, locking it behind her back. The phone fell out of her grasp. "Really? This is the lock you choose," she laughed. Teeth gritted, she swung her head back to hear a sickening crunch. He was bleeding from his nose. She ran to the cabin and picked up the phone which was on its fifth ring. Somebody answered. "Hallo?" The general looked at her with fear in his eyes. "Don't." He mouthed. "I'm sorry," she said bringing the phone up to her mouth. _____ "The Royal Resistance. 1945. WWII. Evacuate to Lisbon. Over."

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. PLEASE READ ANY AND ALL TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING THE CHAPTER, THEY ARE IMPORTANT.

Dirty Little Olive
"Life is fifty wrong turns down a bumpy road. All you can hope is that you end up somewhere nice." - Punk 57 *I don't own any of the characters except the OCs. Melanie Lovett was a former CIA Agent. She decided it wasn't in the cards for her to keep doing something that didn't bring her joy. She was recruited by Tony Stark, due to her exemplary credentials, to be Morgan's nanny. Melanie decided to take the job on because it was something different and new. She didn't know that's where she would meet James Buchanan Barnes. The man who loved bumping heads with her at any chance he got. The man who killed her father when she was thirteen years old. She hated him ... almost as much as she wanted him. ‼️ Sort of Dark!Bucky in the beginning so if you're not into that then this story might not be for you. ‼️ 〰️ "Why would she be afraid of you?" Nat asked. Something in her tone had changed but I didn't know what it was. "I don't know. I just met her yesterday," I shrugged. "Hm. Well ... I'm gonna go get suited up. See ya," she ran off. What the hell? Some thing wasn't right. She was hiding something. Something about Melanie ... and I was going to find out. She was lying about something. Violence was why I existed. It was who I was. To dominate and submit all those around me. I was a tool, a monster, an enforcer. I'd done it all because it's all I'd known. All I was taught. Somewhere inside I could still feel it. Even after getting the words out. That dark sinister part of me was still there. The caged soldier inside. Something about Melanie would make it come out. Maybe because she might've also had a caged animal inside. I itched to let it out. To let them play. 〰️ Tropes found in book: Enemies to Lovers Grumpy x Sunshine Fake Dating Bodyguard He falls first.

. *. ⋆ Simone Adler was 23 years old when she decided she'd do all she could to help bring the war to an end- to do that, she studied and trained for hours a day, multiple days a week, her efforts being given to becoming a nurse. A flight nurse, specifically, where she'd be on board with the men, aiding them when needed, her skills there to help save lives that would be lost if she weren't on board. Through this process, Simone met the men she would be stationed with, being those of the 100th Bomb Group. They all seemed okay in Simone's opinion- except for one, that is. John D. Brady, the bane of her existence- he was insufferable, always cranky, and for some reason hated her before she could even have a real conversation with him. The hatred was mutual, of course- however, the hatred was quick to morph into something different, something more friendly after the two encountered near-death situations. It was something that resembled love- something that was love, and it was so very clearly the one thing that was destined to save them in the end.

The Darkness Below
With a Soviet Spy stalking in the shadows of 1970's England it falls to John and Grace, an average man and woman, to deal with the frightening secret they have uncovered. From the Top Secret tunnels beneath the streets of London they uncover a horrifying truth which puts their lives in danger and puts them on the front line of protecting Britain from the fury of the Soviet Nuclear Arsenal. Would the Government blow up a major London landmark in the effort to persuade the country to go to war? Or could rogue elements within the Armed Forces be behind the plot? Or could it be the KGB in an effort to destabilise, distract and confuse the British Government in the build up to a nuclear strike? An ex-police man is also on the case but he's pre-occupied with personal redemption rather than getting to the truth. His own desires take precedence over his professional responsibilities leading to an unexpected confrontation. Will the British intelligence services catch up in time to prevent the outbreak of World War Three? Will the Soviet spy be caught and arrested before they get the chance to wreak havoc on the British Nation? Who will uncover John and Grace's involvement first, the Soviet spy, the ex-police officer or the British Security Services? Will John and Grace face death at the hands of the KGB, be hanged for treason against Britain or is there another way out for them? The answer will hinge on who gets to them first! Danger can be a powerful aphrodisiac but will John and Grace realise they are more than friends or will the threat of nuclear and personal annihilation drive them apart?Concluida
