Veteran Stories

Leadership changes at MIRA, and Captain's crew has to transition from the Airship to SKELD. The lack of space causes a physical closeness that leads to many romances and rivalries. It doesn't help that the new boss at MIRA HQ is dedicated to splitting apart the crew. Luckily, they have friendship and trust to save them... for now. Established ships at the beginning will be EngineerxGnome, BdayxRose and GentlemanxMrCheese, however, more ships than that will be endgame! Content warnings later on for homophobia, mild drug use (aka weed and maybe alcohol/cigarettes), violence, possibly mental illness, etc, nothing too extreme and nothing sexual. Labeled non-mature for now but may be updated. If anything more specific happens I'll probably add it to the chapter notes. Profile picture is mine and I may change it later.

In 1991 Panama, a year after Operation Just Cause, 21-year-old Military Police Investigator Evan Slater - call sign Eagle 12 - battles crushing isolation and dread during endless weekend duty shifts on the Atlantic side. Escaping a broken home life back in the states - a neglected toddler daughter and ex-wife draining his pay through garnishment - Evan throws himself into autonomous work, finding brief purpose in the routine. One intense weekend offers fleeting escapes from the weight: a high-stakes armed escort of a school convoy across the dangerous Trans-Isthmian Highway, a wild barracks farewell party with imported dancers from Colón, playful connection with Colombian entertainer Gisel, and a passionate, chlorine-scented night with separated coworker Cassie after sneaking into the post pool. Yet duty intrudes relentlessly - absurd incidents like naked drunk Guardsmen, beer runs for goodwill events, gate watches. The high crashes hard on Sunday: phone calls home reveal his daughter's neglect and new financial demands from family. Six months later, college classes and acceptance to MPI school offer a stateside relocation - a fragile chance to reunite with his daughter and rebuild. Inspired by true events, Eagle 12 is a raw, intimate portrait of resilience amid military routine, fleeting human connection, and the crushing burden of absent fatherhood in a forgotten corner of American service.

Among Us Logic oneshots! I have a oneshot of all gentlecheese, so there won't be exclusively gentlecheese oneshots- they may show up sometimes however. Will likely be a lot of engiegnome, playvetcap, and platonic mr cheese stories.

After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget.

While nothing will free his mind from the traumatizing Incident, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live--and rekindle his best friend's legacy before he succumbs. *** *There is a queer side character in this story, but it remains relatively quiet and is not the story's primary focus.* *Moral: "Loss hurts, but it's not the end of the world."* *Word Count: 50,000-52,000* Are you curious about the airplanes we have at Patriots Point?

(On Hiatus) Best friends take a summer road trip in a VW Westfalia

Jim Harlow walks into an HR office expecting to lose his job. Instead, he comes face-to-face with the woman who once held his whole damn world in her hands. Allison Kennedy has spent years building walls nobody can climb. Jim spent years learning how to break through them. What begins as a termination meeting becomes the spark that forces them to face their past- the love, the loss, the secrets, the betrayal... and the truth they never healed from. A Marine. A woman with a shattered heart. A love that refuses to die. This is their story.

A lifetime of love, loss, and coming home. Home follows the unforgettable journey of Jim Harlow - a Georgia-born Marine - and Allie Kennedy, the girl he loved since childhood, the girl who called him her cowboy. Through first loves, heartbreak, memory loss, and the long road back to each other, their story unfolds across decades of devotion, sacrifice, and second chances. Told through recovered memories, small-town heart, and raw emotion, Home is a Southern romance about two people who were never meant to be apart... and the hope that endures even when everything else falls away.

(GXB) A young female, (Y/N) Bennett, soldier has endured the harsh environments of war. During her time on the battlefield she has experienced torture, loss of companions, many battle wounds and so much more painful experiences. As another war is over, (Y/N) can return back home to Ninjago. She keeps to herself and doesn't want to talk about her time in the field except for her therapist that was supplied and suggested by the government for her to attend. This doesn't bother her, she is just glad that she can finally be normal... that is until an attack from Garmadon draws the past veteran out to fight along side the ninja... little does she know her days in combat is not yet over and her life might never go back into the routine she use to have beforehand... (I thought of this book around 'Remembrance Day' and thought to write a book that contained Ninjago as well as having this book being dedicated to those who had served in the war or participate/d in the army. To those who gave their lives and those who survived. I'd like to pay my respects to my country's soldiers, the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corp), for their integrity even through the times of world war 1 where many causalities occurred. For their mateship and courageousness. I'd like to pay my respects before I start writing by reciting the Ode: They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. Lest we forget) (Also no one knows the ninjas identities except for the commissioner and themselves duh) (I don't own Ninjago, Wil Film ApS, WildBrain Studios, and The Lego Group do) (Cover is by @hogwarts-ravenclaw7 and I)

Player was merely Cub's replacement. Never meant to be anything more. But you can't exactly survive almost certain doom without making a few friends along the way. (Sorry for the terrible cover quality!!!) This is a multiship book, so multiple ships will happen throughout the book, but the following ships are endgame: Captain x Stoner, Player x Veteran, The Gentleman x Mr Cheese, Monster x Mr Egg, Bro x Ninja, and Angel x Dum. Technically, Player is the protagonist, but most if not all characters will get at least one chapter in their point of view. Eventually: An Among Us Logic Fanfiction (because that stupid font is starting to annoy me)

In an alternate timeline, the known Galaxy is in chaos, different colonized planets are going to war with one and other. In this part of "The Rising Federation": the Skeld crashes on Polus, Player is the only survivor, and Veteran, who's living on Polus, saves his life.

Forgiveness and healing pave the way to romance in this friends-to-lovers story from Donna Alward's Jewell Cove series. Rick Sullivan left the Marines with a prosthetic and PTSD. His life is going off the rails, especially when a mysterious necklace in a safe deposit box holds the key to his true identity. But he's determined to get his act together, especially where Jess Collins is concerned. The dark-haired beauty makes him want to be a better man than the one who left the service. Jess Collins has fought hard for her new life, so watching Rick destroy his has been infuriating. But falling for him is easier than she ever imagined. Beneath the damaged exterior is a tender heart and a fierce protector-the kind of man she's needed all along. But everything Jess has worked for is at risk when her abusive ex comes back to town, threatening her peace and security. Meanwhile, Rick learns the secret of the necklace, and it challenges everything he thought he knew. He'd lay down his life to protect Jess, but how can he give her his heart when he's no longer sure of who he is?
