"War never leaves a man, it follows him wherever he may go. It haunts him, looms over him like a rain cloud. Its always there. Even years after the fight, war never leaves a man."

Lou Miller was an average, twenty one year old living in St. Louis, Missouri. Wanting more from life he enlisted into the United States Army, not fearing the rise of the Third Reich, he saw that as Europe's war. On December 7th, 1941 that all changed, Japan had attacked America, and Lou, along with the rest of the 1st Infantry Division, was thrust into a raging conflict that became known as The Second Great War.All Rights Reserved

Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019] by amanda_denney_writes

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).

Landslide - Band of Brothers by wexhappyxfew

Piano keys were her childhood, but the grasp of a pistol was her reality. Polish SOE Agent, Natia Filipska, has lurked among the rubble and the shadows of her occupied-Warsaw for years, ever since the war started and ripped her from the life that had guaranteed happiness and opportunity. The SOE took her in, as well as her two siblings, Klimeck and Ryzshard, arming them with a fighting spirit, and a chance at survival, at a life where they could avenge the ones that were taken. Being apart of the Cichociemni came next, Elite Polish Paratroopers, and it was their ticket home. Ever since her feet had then touched the ground, she had been fighting with her home and her people - the Polish Home Army. The Warsaw Uprising got her captured, and then being on the run nearly got her killed - her only ally was the pistol at her side. The Dutch Resistance of Eindhoven, Holland housed her, but it would never be her home. Upon liberation though, her path crossed with an Airborne Infantry - the 101st Airborne Division - the Screaming Eagles - American men. To ensure her safety back to Warsaw, Poland and her family, Easy Company and their men might be her only hope. But hope was lost long ago. ------------------------- " Well, I've been 'fraid of changin' 'Cause I've built my life around you But time makes you bolder Even children get older And I'm gettin' older, too...." - Landslide, Fleetwood Mac ---------- mature themes are held within the context of this story that may be triggering to some people: death, smoking, alcohol, killings, and severe depression, along with mental health issues. --------- band of brothers + oc's { October 2nd 2020 } UPDATES BEGIN - Fridays starting 10 - 2 - 20 started: 7/4/20 ended: 3/15/23 ------------------------ NEW COVER!!! done by ME!!! credits on words by @swedeandspicy

IFWY // jachary short story au by he11tothenaw

IFWY - I fuck with you. • "You know what Avery? I fuck with you." "Wow Zach I think that's the sweetest thing you've ever said to anyone ever." • If this was a teenaged coming of age movie, Zach would be the hot and mysterious bad boy that very girl is swooning over and every boy wants to be. Jack would be the sixteen year old shy wallflower girl who ends up with the hot and mysterious bad boy senior by the end of the movie. Except this isn't a coming of age movie and Jack isn't a sixteen year old girl, he's a seventeen year old boy. He would rather stay out of the spotlight. Life was going just the way Jack wanted until he moved back to San Francisco for his parents business. Zach immediately had his eyes on the boy. Jack didn't know if he hated it or loved it. Okay so maybe this is a coming of age movie. • Jachary high school au. • short story :) • Started: 02/17/2019 Ended: 07/19/2020 • Chapters numbered in Norwegian.
