April 6, 1917 America has declared war on The German Empire after a string of underwater attacks targeting merchant and passenger ships. Twenty year old Alfred F. Jones has been in the military from the day he turns eight-teen and now America was finally going to war in Europe. Excited for the experience, Alfred can't wait to get into the fray, and be the hero that Europe needs, but war isn't all fun and games. After arriving with the first fleet of soldiers in the port of Saint Nazaire, France, Alfred meets British soldier Arthur Kirkland and French soldier Francis Bonnefoy. Fighting through this war together, Alfred will experience the struggles of war, death, and even love.
Cruddy explanation is cruddy, but I was sitting in my Western Civ class today and we were talking about WWI and my inspiration hit. I will try my best to make this as historically accurate as possible. I own nothing besides the plot and a few characters.

SURPRISE!! Another USUK! : Veins and Wires
I know. Another USUK. I'm sorry, but I swear to the sweet heavens above that this couple has taken over my poor mind. So if you can't handle all this USUK gayness, bye-bye!!! So, to the point of this story; Arthur Kirkland and Alfred F. Jones were agents, working for a secret agency, and were lovers. Gilbert Beilshmidt also worked for the same agency, and needed a project to save his career. The agency was working to destroy the enemies from the inside out, while Manhattan was being destroyed, Alfred, Arthur and Francis were all on a mission together to gather information while the city was under attack. An accident occurs, tearing an agent's heart, saving a man's career, and putting a Hero together with Veins and Wires. Holy crap I hope that didn't suck. Anyway, please enjoy if you do decide to read. I do not own Hetalia or the characters or the pictures I may or may not use. I do own the plot line. I may or may not draw a pic, so if I do, I own that. Thank you for reading!Complete

Yours Truly
[Copyright © 2014] In 1943, Charlotte Truly is a nineteen-year-old American nurse serving in World War II. The oldest of four daughters, Charlotte is mostly a shy and reserved girl who keeps to herself. But when Charlotte meets William McCaden, an injured soldier on leave whom she'd briefly met when she was seventeen, she finds herself falling inexplicably in love. When Will is shipped overseas to Nazi-occupied France to fight in a deadly combat mission, Charlotte and Will have only their letters to keep each other close... but in the midst of war, how can love possibly survive? ----- DISCLAIMER: This work was written when I, Raine the author, was 14 years old (circa 2014) and is a FIRST DRAFT. Certain aspects of this story are highly problematic and should rightfully be called out. Please do bear in mind, however, that the entirety of what you see here was written (unedited) by a 14-year-old girl. Now, I as a 20-year-old writing student am fully aware of my mistakes and would like to apologize profusely for them. They are not reflective of my present character by any means and I can assure you that I FULLY condemn the slut-shaming, misogyny, white saviorism, racism, and the general oversimplification of vastly complex themes and historical contexts you might see in Yours Truly (2014). As much as I would like to chalk it all up to being a sign of the times (the very backwards 1940s), I understand now how I should have handled this particular time period with more tact and discretion. Especially with how I recklessly portrayed the horrific racial climate of the 1940s American South. Again, I am very sorry and can wholeheartedly promise you that any later drafts of Yours Truly would 100% rework all of these themes and contexts with the utmost of consideration towards the communities they affect directly. Thank you. -Raine, Feb. 11/2021Complete
Convalescent
When war erupted across Europe in 1939, sixteen year old Katherine Montague had known what she wanted to do - what she had to do. Now, five years later and a trained nurse in the British army, she finds herself thrust into the thick of that same war. But as the fight for the Western Front rages on, Katherine discovers something amid the rubble of the death and destruction around her. Something that will plunge her into a completely new war - one she'd never intended to fight, but has no intention of losing. The war for William Hughes' heart. Love might be enough to win the battle, but will it be enough to win the war? If not, her own heart just might pay the price.
Life and Death: The War's Border Line
Alfred D. Jones, a former soldier in the US Military, had to leave his job due to family issues. In the year 2049, during World War III, a devastating invasion occurred, resulting in the tragic loss of his entire family, leaving him alone and stranded on the battlefield. Seeking refuge, he sought solace in the depths of the woods, where he remained hidden for more than a year. However, fate took an unexpected turn when he was discovered by Ivan, a Russian Military Captain. Ivan, despite his secret reservations due to his focus on the Cold War and the Ukraine vs Russia conflict, urged Alfred to join forces with him in the military to combat the German forces responsible for the invasion. Initially hesitant, Alfred realized that he had a duty to his country, America, and reluctantly agreed to join the fight. (The names were based off of Countryhumans and possibly looks/frame/figure, but overall this is not based on the actual fandom). Book 1 Started: 02/17/2024 Ended: ??/??/????

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
