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.

There is an extended sequence that can inspire claustrophobia (Day 5). Could be triggering to those with a fear of drowning (Day 5). Profanity throughout out. Rape is discussed (primarily preventing it, nothing shown). Brief minor sexuality, characters kiss briefly, and are shown in bed together, nothing more. Alcohol use throughoutComplete

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.

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.

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
