One. War.
Fort George. That used to be my name. I had been an English war fort for the longest time. Now it was one of my real responsibilities as a proper city, after being properly founded as the Halifax Regional Municipality, to oversee the sea. It's been one hundred and forty years since then, and since I had been named the capital of Nova Scotia.
Everyone else was overseas, fighting in the great war. I was one of the few who remained on our land. It was my job as the biggest port in the country to make sure everything at the shipyard ran smoothly. Cargo got in and out in one piece, the explosives that were meant to be shipped here came through safely.
I was used to it, as it had become my life. And I wouldn't change it for anything.
I don't remember much, but I remember pride.

Azur Lane: Garry's Mod
Hello there, Wattpad community My name is LaResistance and this is my very first story. Since this is the first story I am making, don't expect it to be off high quality but I will try my best. This story is going to comprise of some events that took place in the anime of Azur Lane, and I am also going to make the main character well you could say a soldier from Garry's Mod since I want him to from the time of the fan-made film back in the 2000's call "War Of The Servers". You should check it out it is pretty good for a movie made when Garry's Mod was still in it's early stages. Here is the link to it, you better watch it or you are going in this story blind : https://youtu.be/ppUl_CBuyz8. God bless the people who made that movie man god bless them. Enough talking, onto the story. The year is 2021, the Mingbags are back and Garry's Mod is once again at war. This time new updates were added which made the conflict between both the Players and the Mingbags very bloody. We follow a player who was ranked up to Sargent class. Instead of admins taking over the jobs as soldier, they are still able to but other players are able to enlist into the Digital Garry's Mod Militia or the Garry's Mod military. This player is named SirStonksMan and he is a Polish player. He was about to be sent out onto a offensive against the Mingbags but discovered a lab. What he and his comrades didn't know was their was a portal there and they accidently activated it send Sgt. Stonks into another universe. How will he proceed and what is he to do?Complete
A Military Friendship Turned Love
*Formally Known As: My Hero is My Best Friend and a Marine (MBFFM) "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." -George Orwell "Mummy door!" Bentley yelled running in the kitchen from the foyer. "Is she, well lets go see" I say wiping my hands on my apron, walking to the front door. As I open the door I see a Marine standing there in his uniform with a few envelopes in his hand. "Are your Alana Kelsall?" he asks in a kind voice. Confused I reply "Yeah I am please, call me Anna." as Bentley peeks out from behind my legs. I have this really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that I know what this is about. "I'm General R. Paul, on behalf of the United States Marine Corps, we are sorry to tell you that Captain Damon Norris was killed in the line of duty. These are for you." He says handing me the two envelopes. <3 Damon and Anna have been best friends since they were in diapers. Their families are close friends. When Damon was 18 he decided to join the forces, more specifically the Marines; following in his grandfather's footsteps. What she doesn't know is that he has loved her since he was only 13 but, was just too scared to tell her. He had only one week after basic training to see his family before being deployed to Iraq for 4 years. So they decided to spend his last week together and before his deployment; they wind up sleeping together. Resulting in her becoming pregnant. What would you do if you were told that your best friend, and the father to your children was dead? Then years later find out that he actually survived by showing up on your doorstep late in the night? ~*~*~ *Warning: there is a lot of cussing, crude remarks, the occasional sex scene, and possible triggers, don't say you weren't warned.* Co-written with: River-Elliot D.

I fell in love with a criminal (Canadacest)
(Canadacest is 1p x 2p Canada if you didn't know) My family tried to warn me about them, a family just like ours, but so different at the same time. They told me to stay away from him, but he had stolen my heart long before that. The whole family was pretty much known as criminals, but there was ever enough evidence to arrest them for anything. Both papa and dad, heck even Alfred, tried to keep me away from them, having figured out that Matt had a thing for me, but what they didn't know is that I had a thing for him as well. The rest of my family kept away from them, where as I tried to get closer, and they were welcoming me with open arms. When Matt has enough of working for a criminal gang due to a sadist leader tormenting me, he takes me from my home, and we leave the state, with a goal to get to Canada before our family's hunt us down. Will my love for him make me become a criminal too? Or will his love for me make him stop being one?Complete

Hey all! As a disclaimer, this book is poorly written. I can't unpublish it because this has become my legacy, unfortunately, but if you enjoy mediocre unedited writing that has oneshot PLOT HOLES (Looking at you Cherri Bomb chapter) then be my guest. But please, don't harass me for my poor wording in certain chapters. I've become a much better writer since this, and if you're into D:BH I have some more recent stories of mine on my page! Much love, Skuttlesthecat. Disclaimers as to not get sued hopefully: I do not own any characters mentioned in this story other than myself, all rights to characters go to Vivziepop.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!!

Just a Fallout 4 fanfic
War. War never changes. In the year 1945, my great-great grandfather, serving in the army, wondered when he'd get to go home to his wife and the son he'd never seen. He got his wish when the US ended World War II by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The World awaited Armageddon; instead, something miraculous happened. We began to use atomic energy not as a weapon, but as a nearly limitless source of power. People enjoyed luxuries once thought the realm of science fiction. Domestic robots, fusion-powered cars, portable computers. But then, in the 21st century, people awoke from the American dream. Years of consumption lead to shortages of every major resource. The entire world unraveled. Peace became a distant memory. It is now the year 2077. We stand on the brink of total war, and I am afraid. For myself, for my wife, for my infant son - because if my time in the army taught me one thing... War never changesComplete
